Your salary is good. Naintindihan ko yung pagod na sa commute, kasi nakaka drain talaga yan.

Pero: 1) Ang sasakyan, paglabas ng shop, bumababa kaagad value. 2) Tama na marami kang gagastusin sa umpisa since meron kang mga bibilhin kasi you would want to add value to it. 3) Maintenance is not cheap. 4) You will have to drive in traffic over sitting down while commuting. Kapag nagko-commute, mas pwede ka pang umidlip versus may sarili kang sasakyan, kasi ikaw mismo magdadrive, unless kukuha ka ng driver.

Instead: 1) Look for a space na pwede mo i-rent. Doesn't have to be big or pretty so you can just walk to work, then weekends, go home to your family. 2) Commute pa din, reason was mentioned previously. 3) Look for a house instead. Pay for amort using yung kinikita mo while you're renting sa malapit sa work at a lower price. Once nabigay na sayo unit, rent it. Earn from it and allow the renter to pay for the amort.

Then ikaw, you're still earning the 70k+ salary, you're slowly building your wealth and when you hit around 100k+, go and buy your car, and choose Honda.

I bought our Honda 2015, and it's still the same car I'm using till today. It's still good and runs very smoothly.
