I want to know pala when regards to fuel consumption, usual issue, pyesa availability and maintainance. Price bracket 150-200K, or cheaper... Here's my prospect:

Honda CIVIC 96-2000 models Lxi or Vti AT
Ford Lynx GSI or GHIA AT
Opel Astra Wagon 1.6 AT
Chev Optra 1.6 AT

Take off chevy and opel from your list. Parts are hard to find and the cost is expensive. Civic is a good choice, IMO because it is fuel efficient. Or you can also try to look for a lancer or sentra with the same year model as the civic.

Your budget is for the older car models meaning you will require a lot of maintenance already.
Therefore it would be prudent to look at more economical maintenance car with easily available
parts. That will be Toyota, Honda and likely Mitsubishi. Get out of the Ford Lynx & Ghia, lakas sa gas ng mga yan.

Pick the honda civic. I used to own a ford lynx ghia and sobrang lakas nya sa gas (6 to 7km/l)

Buy the car that makes you happy..

mababa nga ang FC pero hindi mo gusto ung car kaya bihira mo gagamitin.

mura nga ang parts at maintenance, pero dahil hindi mo naman talaga gusto ung car, hindi mo din ito aalagaan.

your ride should make you happy, when your happy you are relaxed. less doctors visits, less traffic violations, nakatipid ka pa din.

at 150-200k, i think, ang makukuha mong civic is yung below 2000 model.
try to look for a sentra, a corolla or a lancer.

diba ang Sentra usap usapan malakas din sa Gas and parts are expensive?

ok din ang matrix.... pero ang hirap makahanap.
sa sentra, depends eh..... my 1.6 Sentra consumes reasonable fuel (10 kpl average), and parts are not that expensive.

from the choices, I'll take the civic in a heartbeat. make sure your getting a decent a/t. for that age of a car, a/t is bound to have some problems but there are some that are in very good condition.
