I'm a new member here...just saw this forum and decided to say something about it.

mine is 187kph in my corolla 89..s north expressway un 5years ago.

the second one is 199kph using a '99 corolla gli.what a trip. papunta kaming tagaytay at that time.it took us only less than 45mins from b.f. paranaque to tagaytay via sta.rosa exit pa un.But i won't advise u to do that..drive safely...

Guys I need your professional opinions on this....

 

Would you go for KIA PICANTO @ 360K or a second hand CIVIC or LANCER of about the same price?  Medyo limited budget kasi.

:cool: + for Picanto

* Brand New so less trouble with engine (i suppose)

* 3 Year warranty

* Fuel efficient

 

:grr: - for Picanto

* Bad Kia rep*tation

* They say the aftersales service is not that good

* Small car/ less room

:cool: + for 2nd Hand Car

* Respectable image

* More room / bigger car

* Better Resale Value

 

:grr: - for 2nd Hand Car

* Possible high maintenance

* Possible Engine/Body/Parts problem

* May be a gas guzzler

 

I need your opinion especially the car experts.  This is going to be my first car so im kind of paranoid :cry:

u know what, try scouting for 2nd hand cars with a buddy of yours..the more your buddy knows about cars,the better it is to sort out what kind of car u want...for starters,go for the 99model cars.basically they are casa maintained,with comp insurance and lady driven...but its not necessary to buy a car from a lady owner..be specially attentive to details..engines,doors,suspension,engine leaks,those stuffs...be sure to pick wisely...a brand new car that is maintenance-free for a year?or a slightly used car that has a resale value bigger than that of the Kia Picanto?your choice buddy...Just concerned about ur money...btw,i'm just new here....Hope this helps....
