Mostly Civic ang winner based sa comments pero in terms of budget ko I think i-out ko na sya sa choice.

Namention din yung Nissan juke pero hindi ko lang gusto yung looks and medyo pricey hehe.

Useful info, salamat! In terms of Yojin3 they mentioned at the dealership that wear and tear parts are not actually included? (i.e. tires) Is this the case with you as well? thanks

If budget is a primary concern, get the City E. For 800k it already covers everything you need in a car. It's spacious for a subcompact, has the basic features you need (Bluetooth, ABS, fog lamps, 15" rims, etc), has ample power and good economy, and it actually looks respectable.

I have a Civic and obviously it's better in every way than the City, but it also costs 300k more and that's not a small amount of money.

Yojin covers all filters (oil, intake, cabin, fuel) & the Shell Synthetic 5w-30. They have scheduled intervals for each filter type. OE batt is covered for the 1st year. Wear items like tires & pads....nobody covers those unless proven faulty.[emoji4]

So aun down to 2 choices
1. Honda City E - 810,000
Pros: Feature packed, Looks, Interior, Resale value
Cons: PMS cost? , Parts cost

2. Mazda 2 V+ Hatchback - 865,000
Pros: Looks, Interior, Yojin3 PMS free
Cons: Space, Parts price after Yojin3, Resale value

Kung hindi ka concern sa space M2, I´m using the City at M2 kay Misis pero mas gusto ko M2

Sa comparison ng design/spare parts ng underchassis, mas ok sakin M2 compare sa City

after naman ng warranty, I recommend 0W-20 sa engine oil

Our Mod "jut" can vouch for honda's fair PMS pricing. 10k 20k 30k pricing isn't that bad.

parts cost? what parts do you need? brake pads? marami oem and aftermarket. shock absorbers? so far konte pa nag papalit since 2014 introduction... kyb ph probably has replacements.

Yes space lang talaga concern ko with the M2.

In terms of parts nothing in particular tinitignan ko lang yung cost of ownership nya in the long term mga +5 years

If you think you'd need cargo or passenger space anytime during owning the car, then go with the city. Otherwise, go with the 2.

My personal opinion, go with the City as your first car since it can satisfy most of your needs for now and it is quite a safe bet given Honda's reputation and market presence.
For your second car a few years from now, maybe you could go with something with a better driving dynamics (e.g Mazda 2, Ford Fiesta/Focus Ecoboost) or higher ground clearance (Vitara, HR-V, etc)

Or aim for something on a higher tier - a sporty midsize (Accord or Mazda6 or Passat) or a bonkers AWD turbo compact (WRX or Levorg 2.0DIT) or a good-handling CUV (Forester or CX5).
