    CON:
    -rear seat leg room too small

    -not enough power from engine
    -stock suspension too tall and tends to trailer & yaw too much when changing lanes.
    -weak brakes

    PRO:
    -mods for previous model corolla (ae101) are mostly applicable
    -good stereo system
    -once lowered, handling is precise
    -good gas milage
    -engine swaps can be cheap (20v engines!)

    98 civic LXi a/t

    pros:

    fuel efficient. i get at least 11 km per liter on city driving
    smooth running engine for a sub 1600 car.
    less shift shock (at least when compared to the EK VTi AT :P)

    cons:
    ride quality over bumpy roads. i wish it had macpherson struts instead of double wishbones.
    legroom
    aircon. sobrang ginaw nga pag gabi at umuulan, pero parang blow dryer pag tanghaling tapat at nasa traffic.

    2000 Nissan Frontier 2.7E m/t with 26K on the odo:

    Cons:
    - matagtag/ POS OEM shocks
    - brakes can use more improvement; rears lock up easily
    - PIA to align the wheels properly
    - the aircon fans could be a bit stronger
    - moderate-heavy understeer
    - no cupholders... gasp 8O (this has been addressed in the newer models i think).

    Pros:
    - very reliable engine
    - noise levels and vibrations are minimal (for a diesel engine)
    - minimal visible exhaust emissions
    - brisk performer (revs to its redline as if it were a gas engine)
    - fuel efficient
    - good headlight reflectors
    - cool aircon (despite the fans being a tad weak per setting)
    - light and soft clutch pedal
    - good forward visibility
    - good turning radius

    96 galant ss

    cons:
    - suspension, very sensitive lalo na pag sinubukan imodify w/ aftermarket parts.
    - electrical system. daming kelangan palitan na fuse, wires etc.
    - daming kalampag and noise level reduction is a bit poor for its class
    - mahal pyesa
    - audio system. parang tinipid and prone to skipping yung changer (clarion)

    pros:
    - engine. power delivery is excellent. one of the most powerful midsized sedans of its time (whether ss or vr variants)
    - excellent legroom
    - aircon. lakas and maginaw!
    - good brakes
    - porma! best looking galant imho
    - strong headlights, fog lights

    mk,

    yes, masikip ang rear seat ng EK Civic. The 2k1 ES Civic's rear seat is better but still slightly less spacious than the lynx's and altis's

    2002 Kia Sedona RS M/T 2.9liter turbodiesel with 12,000km odometer reading

    PROS:
    - engine is quiet for a diesel
    - my kids can sleep fully reclined during long trips to the province; a spacious 7-seater with swiveling captain's chairs in the second row
    - an abundance of cupholders and storage bins
    - decent 13 km/li highway mileage
    - comfortable suspension system
    - wide wheelbase; good road balance
    - malakas yung aircon sa likod
    - dual sliding side doors
    - powerful engine, di ako nabitin kahit paakyat ng Kennon

    CONS:
    - tagal magpa-warmup ng diesel; tagal magpa-cooldown ng turbo
    - hirap mag-park ng mahabang sasakyan
    - RS model only has steel rims with wheel covers; for a sticker price of nearly P900K, dapat may mags na sana
    - it has the dreaded "anything not made in Japan is of inferior quality" reputation
    - wala syang secure storage bin sa rear hatch area (i miss having a trunk)
    - mas mainit ang aircon sa harap compared sa likod
    - hindi tiklop-able/removable yung third row bench (although you can push it all the way forward to create a big cargo space)
