Sabi ko nga na-in-love. Bilhin na ninyo yan. Malamang, useless na rin ang advice namin dito. Basta't we warned you.

sir, i know maporma talaga yang eg hatch. kung gusto niyo po talaga, maghanda kayo sa gastos. dami papaayos yan, including the springs, and maybe other suspension components. maghanda din kayo sa gastos sa gas, since matakaw yung b16.

in short, impractical po yang sasakyan na yan, unless hindi issue yung gastos sa maintenance and gas sa inyo...

ganun po ba, yan din po ang sabi sakin ng friends ko eh.sabi ko naman maayus naman po ang makina eh.natestdrive ko na and npacheck ko na.pero dahil sa mga tao na nagaadvice sakin na mahirap magrisk ngayon ng dadalawang isip nako.hahaha.

i think i what i should do is check for other units first. Salamat po sa info guys!

keep em coming :D

I had a lady friend who was one of the first ones that bought the hatch back in 1992. CBU ito from Japan and I remember it well it was fitted with an A/T.

im more inclined on not buying the unit already.wheew. malakas ba talaga sa gas ang b16?sorry po guys if medyo madami ako tanong.its my first time buying a 2nd hand car.

sir, iwas din po kayo sa mga naka b16. eto based on personal experience: dati naman may nagbebenta sa amin ng SiR. pareho lang ako sa brother niyo, gustong gusto ko na yung SiR. natest drive ko din. maganda hatak, maganda clutch action, maganda talbog ng suspension. in short, na-in love na din ako. tsaka lang namin nalaman na na-overhaul na pala makina nun at 60k kms (which is unusual, unless sumabog na or laspag na yung makina). so na-turn off agad ako.
ang tendency kasi ng mga naka-b16 is humarurot at kumarera. in short, kahit anong ganda ng technology ng makina ng honda, kawawa pa din pag inabuso. since transplant yang b16 ng eg hatch, lalong risky dahil di mo alam yung history niya.
kung ako sa inyo sir tumingin na lang kayo ng ibang unit, preferably stock.

Ilan po kaya fuel consumption nya on city and highway driving since its automatic. Kung sakali po kasi gagamitin to ng bro ko sa province namin in bataan mostly highway driving po doon.
