Not really sure what kills cars so quickly in the Philippines, so I don't have a reliable answer for A. All I can say is that I'm at 30k and have had no issues so far. For comparison, I normally expect a modern car to reach 200k miles before it's junked.
For B, I think the general estimate is you lose about 1hp per 20k miles or so due to wear inside the engine.

Thanks for the feedback!
Well the number one killer here for mechanics would be potholes. Even highways and provincial roads Have bad roads. Exterior wise, probably the intense heat all year round. Its always 30-32C here.
So do you mean unlike older cars, 20k miles wouldnt be such a biggie anymore with a modern engine like the fa20?
