In her chat with GMANetwork.com, Sofia stated that buying a car is a good investment for her.

She added that she paid it in full already.

“Of course, sa showbiz I really believe na isa sa important investments for yourself is your own car lalo na 'pag malayo locations,” Sofia noted.

“It's for your own comfort din para pagdating ng work, nakapahinga ka ng maayos.”

In addition, since this is her second car already, the Sparkle beauty also shared some advice to people buying their first car.

According to her, they really should do a lot of research about the vehicle they want.

Sofia explained, “For first time buyers, don't settle dun sa 'sige eto pwede na toh.'”

“Kasi you'll be using your car for years. Sayang naman if you won't buy what you really want 'di ba? And also, research about the car you want. 'Yung mga pros and cons niya para no regrets kayo when you buy it na.”

As she said in her Instagram post that her “passenger princess” era is ending soon. Sofia also wanted to get a car that will be easier for a newbie driver like her to drive around.

The actress told GMANetwork.com, “First time I saw the GS3 Emzoom R-Style, decided na talaga ako na 'yun 'yung next car na gusto ko i-buy kasi it has so many cool features and also lots of safety features.

“Now that I'm 18, I'll also be driving na anytime soon. So, gusto ko rin [and] I make sure na 'yung car that I'll be driving is also safe for me lalo na I'll be a newbie driver.”

She celebrated her 18th birthday last April 10.
