*TS: get a second hand FD. Panalo ka sa porma, FC is ok, malaki legroom lalo na sa likod, maliit nga lang trunk. Price range: 450K pataas.

^ wag! Dyos ko.... Manual na FD ? Tigas ng clutch nyan bro mahihirapan si TS lalo na 1st time nya

*TS mag AT Jazz ka nalang. At least matic, pag hanging di ka kakaba kaba at pag traffic di ka mamataymatayan. Maliit pa super dali ipark

**akosila** · April 6th, 2012 11:49 AM

sorry po pero ano po ang FC and FD? :D as in bago lang po ako sa mga terms.

yun din po iniisip ko e, pahirapan pag manual lalo na at puro akyat baba dito sa baguio and pag dinala ko naman sa work sa manila traffic naman

Pre-owned car ka muna para hindi masyadong masakit pag nasabit-sabit. May I suggest 1st Gen1.3 cvt Jazz yung local model. Pa test drive mo lang sa nakakaalam ng model na ito para masiguro no problem ang cvt. Napakatipid nito, normal fuel consumption (FC) about 15Km/L driven daily in area of City Hall to Clark Angeles city. Ours now at 65++K Km Odometer still running good. No CVT problem, all stock. Kaya umakyat ng Baguio, hindi nga lang mabilis.

mag A/T ka, pero maganda rin yung marunong ka sa M/T, para pasok ka sa lahat.
marami rito na puro A/T lang alam imaneho, pag M/T na yung car, "kamot-ulo" na lang.......

FC - Fuel Consumption
FD - 2006-2011 Honda Civic

Meron kasi kaming Honda Civic FD MT, although matigas clutch niya madali nalang siya para saakin kasi I was never fond of ATs in general. Kung maari, MT talaga gusto ko lalo na kung sedan lang. Pero kung SUV na, AT preferred ko. Eh since wala naman kaming SUV, puro MT Sedans car namin.

I've driven a lot of AT cars though, coming from an MT vehicle, it was a breeze to drive. Kapag traffic, hindi ka na mapapagod clutch-gear in. But then, on an open road I somehow miss having an MT vehicle. I can redline shift whenever I want or at least shoot up the RPM up until 5k.

Each really has its pros and cons, pero for a first time driver I'd suggest AT na. So kapag nagkaipitan, you wouldn't be terrified.

Correct. Marami akong alam na ganyan, galing galing kuno sa AT pero kapag nakakita na ng 5-speed MT lumuluwa mata. :hysterical:

*akosila : My suggestion would be

Buy an AT Jazz - beware lang sa CVT since sirain. Then while you're enjoying your car, borrow a manual transmission vehicle from someone then drive it once in a while para kapag emergency when there's no car to use but a Kia Besta with a manual transmission makakaandar ka pa rin. ;)
