    I'm planning to buy one(brand new) honda city which is gustong gusto ko tlagang bilhin noon pa, hindi pa kasya budget but I'm gathering ideas and advice's from expert. First time ko sa car industry so ayokong ma exploit yung kunting kaalaman ko sa cars most probably sa bibilhin kong car.

    Gusto kong magkaroon ng idea kung anong best na bibilhin sa honda city, prons and cons as well ano ba mga dapat iconsider bago bumili.
    Ika nga ng iba "dapat may kasama kang mekaniko pag bibili ka ng sasakyan" - hindi ko alam kung totoo yan, pero alam ko ang purpose kahit papano siguro sa inyo, sakin I dont know pa

    It would be a great honor if anyone here in tsikot can help me deal with this. Any comments are welcome.
    Thank you guys!

    What year and model are you looking for and what's your budget range? Are you looking for a manual or matic version?

    Do you mean to buy brand new or second hand? Alam ko ata yung mekaniko sa pag secondhand yung binibili mo, otherwise okay ka pag brand new basta mag inquire ka sa lahat na dealership sa area mo tapos compare mo yung ibibigay nila na price sa iyo.

    ^ Tama kailangan lang ng mekaniko pag used ang bibilihin mo, tapos compare mo yung prices sa ibang dealership or pwede rin tanungin kung may freebies ie. tint o 3m car mats.

    Pag brand new, the problem you'll have are the following:

    1. What color to choose
    2. Anong last number ng plaka mo
    3. What dealer to buy your car from.
    4. What variant to choose.
    5. Of course, yun pambayad.

    for #3, I suggest you look for Llndsay at Honda Global City. She'll set you up with some additional freebies as compared to other dealers.

    Honda City is a good car naman. Very spacious and fun to drive. You wont regret buying one.

    Regarding number 2, sabi ng mga napagtanungan kong SAs, while inquiring at the mall on a few car makes, on hold raw yung pagpili ng last digit dahil sa plan ng LTO palitan ang license plates ng lahat. Paki confirm kung ito rin sasabihin ng SAs na mapagtatanungan mo. Thanks

    That would depend on your budget. If you can afford top of the line, then get that one.

    Misis ko may company car na city 2009.

    Ang pinaka main problem lang nung bago pa yung city eh mga humps, dahil mababa sya compared sa ibang car, dalas sumayad ng ilalim sa mga unusually high na humps, lalo na pag puno.

    At dahil mababa and stiff suspension sya, feel mo yung tagtag ng daan, This is compared to our vios na lambot at taas ng suspension. Pero dahil nga mababa sya mabilis sya sa mga fast corners.

    It's a quick car and fun to drive, I remember nung bago pa sya it can dart quickly in and out of the lane, nauunahan yung ibang sasakyan without flooring the gas.

    Yun nga lang It's not the same car anymore after 4 years, parang palala sya ng palala after every PM, kinakarne yata.

    Minsan dinala namin sa Baguio ito, kaya naman umakyat, may mga matatarik na iskinita kaming iniakyat na kaya pa rin nya. Sa tarik ng iskinita nakayakap na ko sa steering wheel. Yun nga lang same problem dahil mababa suspension sumasayad sya.

    Agree with BratPAQ on the "ka-blag" suspension feel of the City. You have to be careful over humps and potholes or suffer that "ka-blag" feel. My old Accord with a lower ride and bigger wheels rides better than the 2009 City I use.

    The City does offer a zippy drive for a sub-compact but the Jazz of the same generation offers a better drive. If you don't need a big trunk, a 1.5L Jazz will be a better option. However, with the prices of both TOTL City and Jazz nearing 900k, I will just start thinking on the Civic or Elantra or Altis (really good deals on the 1.6L Atis nowadays).

    Wala ata 1.5L City in MT. Just check the Honda Makati site for the differences in models of the City. They are mechanically the same except for the features differences.

    A friend is selling her 2013 honda city for 250k with assuming balance. I think around 13800 a month. Good buy ba o hindi?

    Personally, I dont think it is a good buy. Nangungulit lang si wife na gusto nya yung car. Id rather buy the all new city.

    What are you thoughts? Thanks

    Expensive. Buy a new one na lang. and you'll practically pay the same rin.

    Kaya nga eh. Kinucompute ko dun sa 1.5 cvt at 796k. Lalabas 50k lang ang difference pag pinasok sa car plan, lols!
