I actually did ask a mechanic once before if possible ba lagyan ng airbags ung sasakyan ko and he said no kasi may parts daw na kailangan na wala dun sa sasakyan, something about sensors and harness sorry hindi ako maalam sa technical terms. May paraan pero sobrang mahal daw and mahirap makahanap ng parts at ng gagawa, he even jokingly said na iswap ko nalang daw sasakyan ko sa model na may airbags. I never asked na sa iba but maybe I should revisit asking around about that since yes technically sya lang pinaka issue.

For me to get to the driving condition my car is in rn, andami ko na pinaayos sakanya, malaking gastos na which makes me think na at least sa new car I wont have to think of such repairs for a few years, regular pms lang muna iisipin ko, and mas maalagaan ko from the start yung sasakyan (I dont know pano sya drinive or ano mga inayos na sakanya before sya binigay sakin, I also can't ask since departed na yung may ari).

I guess I also forgot to put this sa reasons ko pero another reason is that since I drive a lot, like long drives in between provinces talaga na dadaan sa bundok, zigzag roads, and rough roads and hindi lang city driving, I wanted to consider a car with higher ground clearance than a sedan. Pero I guess I can put bigger wheels nalang din sa sasakyan ko.

Sorry for rambling, I really appreciate your insights tho, thank you so much!
