City ka na. More cabin & trunk space. Honda reliability pa. Although may known faults ang generation ng city yan. Hindi na totoo yung sinasabi nilang mahal ang spare parts. Nowadays pantay if not mas mura pa ang parts sa Toyota. Kung sa casa ka bibili ha.

December 8th, 2018 09:59 AM #12I really appreciate your inputs, guys! It put things into perspective before I do my purchase. As for me, I'd probably stick to a 3-4 yr old city or civic... now it's time to decide if it's city or civic haha, cause it's both ma-"porma" (I think?). Can you guys put in some perspective on this?

In the second hand market, newer is better most of the time. "Most".
If the civic is older by 3 or 4 years old than the city that fits your budget, i'll most likely get the city instead.
You said you are in baguio, i think at a minimum, you should get a 1.5 displacement car so it wont be that much rev happy when on an incline. And also a higher ground clearance would help.

December 9th, 2018 12:32 AM #14Hands down panis ang city sa civic sa porma, well almost in everything. Twing may napapadaan na civic fc, napapabalikwas talaga ako ng tingin.
Though higher displacement ung civic which means less fuel efficiency in city driving, I think. At least ung ung turo sakin. And civics are more expensive.
Though personally, i would still pick the current gen city over the civic fc. The civic fc just looks too glamorous for me. Siguro pag mayaman na ko pwede na ko mag civic.. Ung type r hahah.
About sa older gen looks, civic fd > city gm6 > city gm3 > civic fb. It still boils down to personal preference. Ganda pa din civic fd, pero luma na kc so my friend advised me to go for newer models.

December 9th, 2018 01:09 AM #16my former GF (now my wife hehe) used to own a GM city 2009 1.3S MT. Aside from normal wear and tear I could not think of anything that was considered as a known fault. But it was included in the takata airbag recall though.
I would choose the Civic FD/FB i like the space and the interior better than the city. The city is not cramped but just by look and feel I find the civic more spacious to my liking. Also I don't mind at all that the civic has a bigger engine.

If you want something for spirited driving, I will not advise on the City. It’s a good appliance car as it can get you from point a to b in a reliable and fuel efficient manner. The City is designed for fuel efficiency and urban handling. However, the car is not too eager to accelerate, the steering is a bit numb, and the suspension is a bit soft.

The City is a quick car especially with the CVT, very big improvement over the old 5AT. Less than a second slower to 100 kph than the Civic. The manual is actually faster than a Civic 1.8 CVT too.
Also handles better than most subcompacts except the Fiesta and Mazda 2. Predictable body roll and drives nicely at the limit.

The current gen Kicks e-power is basically a compromise, as the body+chassis design came first...
