    Di pa uso electronic power steering nun sir
    And Im not sure kung alin dito yung hydraulic clutch na...

    You could be looking for these carb engine cars:

    Mitsubishi Lancer GL (1.3 engine, pizza)
    Toyota Corolla XL/XE (1.3 engine, bigbody at lovelife)
    Mazda 323/Familia LX/GLX (1.3 engine, smallbody at bigbody)
    Honda City (1.3 engine, gen1 unang labas bago yung hyper 16 at type z)
    Honda Civic LX (1.5 engine, ESI body)

    Meron na pong electric power steering that time pero sa mga high-end models and sports car lang yata. Di pa siya uso sa mga compact sedans nun.

    May manual transmission lahat nung mga nabanggit ko sir.

    Not sure ha, pero ang alam ko yung Lancer nalang ang cable-type clutch dun. Check niyo rin po.

    Sir my recommendations would be ...

    1. Toyota Corolla GLi 1.6L
    2. Honda City SX8 1.5L

    Why opt for the carburetor types when you can get an EFi vehicle within your budget ?

    I'm currently using a 2nd hand car EFI, always having a problem with its electronics / sensors. Unlike my lancer boxtype before which is all mechanical, easy to trouble-shoot easy to repair.

    what i like with my current ride is, its handling (power steering), soft clutch pedal (hydraulic). but the engine is no longer economical....

    xylene alfon : I think you'll be better off with EFi vehicles. Remember, carburetor powered vehicles isn't compatible with E-10. And, almost all fuels nowadays are blended with ethanol.

    Well ... some carb vehicles really survives the ethanol blended fuels, like me. But I think it's better for you to be sure UNLESS you're planning on swapping the engine anytime soon.

    Anyways, if you're really like carb vehicles then the bigbody XL/XE will be your best bet. It's tried and tested.

    Next would be the Honda City SX8.

    My wild guess: Your current ride is probably a Nissan or Mitsubishi

    The have both MAF and MAP sensors that are way too sensitive they can go nuts.
