[Help!] What is the best USED car, Php 350,000 (Model 2007)?

[mda]

I'll take whichever car is in better condition at the better price.

May slight visual differences pero hanggang doon lang.

This.

Kung newer model nga nakuha mo pero beaten up naman, eh wag na.

Though I find the robin vios more spacious. Ewan ko. Siguro feeling ko lang yun. LOL.

vios or city, parehong matipid

yung honda city ng family friend namin umiilaw na yung fuel gauge sa may qc nakaabot pa kami ng pampanga.. hehe

yung vios naman namin matipid na, grabe pa sa reliability. mataas na yung baha umaandar pa kami. nakauwi pa kami in one piece. mas mura pa maintenance

you can't go wrong with both cars. piliin nyo na lang po yung sasakyan na sa tingin nyo ay mas maganda ang condition. better bring your trusted mechanic

I'll take note of that sir. Uu nga naman. Tama po kau. So down to vios robin/batman and hoda city idsi nalang. Ano po ba pros and cons ng vvti and idsi? Hats off sirs. Salamat.

I'm clueless.

Ano yung bad reputation ng N16 Sentra?

Thanks.

you know, the sentras are good, basic cars that will get you from point A to point B with a minimum of hassle. i have a sentra in my barn, bought it brand new in 1997. i get 9-10 km/li. and after all these years, i still do not know what reputation they are refering to.. underpowered? why, are you gonna race it? so don't be afraid of the sentra. but whatever you buy, get the one with the least mileage. and don't be hypnotized by the cheapest price. repair costs can easily wipe out your seeming savings, and more..

Ang facelifted 2007 and above Vios hindi papasok sa budget na 350k unless high mileage and/or base model siya.

VVTi is basically Toyota's version of variable valve timing like Honda's VTEC system. Its nothing special nowadays, even the N16 Sentra uses VTC, Nissan's variable valve timing system. This system is supposed to help make for better performance or fuel efficiency depending on your needs. The iDSI system gives excellent fuel economy but with not much power (inferior even to the Vios) and rather high maintenance (8 spark plugs). In fact the technology was abandoned by Honda already as it was replaced once again by i-VTEC.

Wag na kasi Vios! 1.3 lang makukuha mo, mahina makina masikip pa sa loob. N16 Sentra na kasi! Mas mura sa Vios, 1.6L engine na, mas maluwag sa loob, mas maraming features, what more can one ask for?

Ano ano po ba fascinating features ng Sentra? How about its FC sir? Sabi kc sa thread, malakas daw uminom ng gas ung sentra eh. Mga ilang kms po per liter city driving? Actually kino consider ko rn ung sentra kc nga mas mura. Walang 300k may setra na ko. Ay kaya lng base model lng ata ng sentra ung less than 300. Hmmmmm.

So sirs, basically low mileage ang pinaka titingnan ko? Possible ba na ung car eh nasa 30k palang odo khit 5 years na? Di kaya tampered pag gnun? May nkita kc akong gnun sir eh. Thanks much!

[onewaytrip]

btw, hindi nagawa ng engineering ng nissan yung style ng toyota corolla XE/XL (bigbody/E100), 1.3 engine (2E) kahit naturignan "big body" yung kaha e no sacrifice naman in fuel efficiency.

better compare the XL with the Sentra LEC. both are fuel-efficient.

the GX body was built with much higher crash safety standards.

Yung 1.3L malakas sa gas kasi mabigat yung kaha niya kumpara sa mga Vios. Sa totoo lang kasi, yung kalaban ng Sentra ay yung mga Lancer, Civic, Corolla. Kaya mas bagay rito yung 1.6L.

The mileage is important but should not be the only basis. Makikita mo naman kapag sobrang laspag na yung kotse.

30K mileage yung odo kahit after 5 years? Posibleng posible. 2006 Civic namin 36K kms (lampas 5 years na toh). 2009 Civic namin, 12k kms palang. Araw araw ginagamit hehe. Pero ingat pa rin sa mga manloloko. Minsan mahahalata mo naman na laspag na yung kotse, sabay mababa yung odometer. Yun yung mga kakapag-taka.

^ most or some people says that Sentra is a gas guzzler but may mga scenario din sa ibang owners ng sentra na mataas ang nakukuha nilang km/L , tama lang daw, meron case na matipid din manakbo, at meron din poor fuel economy, medyo misterious nga e, siguro nasa nagamit na lang rin yan, alam mo naman ang principle ng driving, the heavier you step on the pedal, the more gas you burn,..saka depende na rin sa driving situation, traffic, condition of the car. etc...ang pinakamababa daw na nakukuha nila e 6km/L (for traffic driving), the average for mixed drivng condition would be 10 - 12km/L, tama na rin...

OT: damn, our corolla is still hitting 14km/L pag walang aircon, 200pesos worth of gas can accumulate a total of 30++ kms, sa aking pagsusukat,
