    Kung FC sa FD. Kung handling, sa 3.

    Biased ako sa Honda, I'd choose the fd any time of the day. Expert advice? let's wait for others. Puro opinion lang ako. Though I heard this 1.8 engine of fd consumes like a 1.6. Pag long drive, I'd rather use the fd kesa sa vios namin. I "feel" na pareho lang gas expense ko sa fd and vios. Kase siguro puro iyak ang makina pag gamit ko vios.

    I’d go with the Civic FD, specially the 2.0L model.

    A Civic FD 2.0MT is quite rare on the used market. From 2006-2008, only 200 were released locally. With the FD refresh from 2009-2011, no more 2.0MT was offered due to low sales.

    It’s as elusuve as a 6th gen Accord F23 5MT. Hehehe

    If you want a good handling compact car with a powerful yet thrifty engine paired with an MT tranny, go look for a 2007-2008 Ford Focus HB 2.0L TDCi (turbo diesel) MT. Parts may be a problem but this platform is shared with the Mazda3 and Volvo C30.

    You can buy already 2.0 Mazda3 BK first gen if your budget is for 2009 Honda Civic FD 1.8 due to resale value hindi sila parehas. Here’s my 2011 Mazda3 but sold only at 300k because nobody wants to get it at higher price. This is the only thing I don’t like about Mazda pag gusto mo na ibenta you’ll end-up selling it low price para mabenta lang.

    Orangevirus tuned.
    K&N intake.
    Hotpipes headers.
    Front & rear strut bar.
    NOS.
    Tein coilovers.

    But now I ended up buying new Civic FC last year so I sold her na but it is a good car especially mine since it is well kept & properly maintained.
