IMHO, a difference of 2 Km/L in FC will not sway me to get the smaller car, assuming you drive less than 50 km a day.

Thanks boss Egan.

My absolute worst was 9.7 km/L on a trackday, and that's exceptional. In most events one tank of gas gets me to Batangas/Clark/Subic, lots of practice and hot laps, and gets me home no problem - which still amounts to 11 km/L.

Driven in anger my Jazz still gets 11-12 km/L in Manila. 14 km/L is yours if you're a saint. Stretch the Jazz's legs, make use of the torque, and you can get 17 km/L going from Manila to Baguio.

On a long highway drive and with gentle driving I had a personal best of 28 km/L.

2005 Honda Civic M/T 1.6L Vtec3, priced at 330K

or

2005 Honda Jazz M/T 1.3 dsi priced at 335K

TIA mga sir!

Both are good (based on my sister's 04 Honda Civic and in-laws 2002 Civic, and a cousin's Jazz)....

Sister got the well-looked after mint-condition (looks new in fact hehe) 2nd-hand 2004 Civic from a close friend of her who upgraded to a 2012 Hyundai Sonata. She got it for PhP210,000 and i don' know if that's a good price for a Civic that age....

Cheers!

210k for a 2004 Civic ES? VTI or VTI-S na ba yan? Very good price nga yan! Most 2nd gen Civic ES (2004-2005, eagle eye) still fetch 300k or more on the used market. The 1st gen ES (2001-2003) are priced above 250k.
