2005 ALTIS 1.6 E or brand new CITY 1.3 CVT

[celtpinoy]

in my quest for a decent 2nd car...
I've stumbled on to a well kept altis 1.6E MT.....
low mileage at 12K... and priced decently at 550K....
brand new CITY 1.3 CVt is at 630K...

initial priorities were to get a good car for my daughter's possible use..so automatic (preferred)...

but this nice surprise kind of changes things....now I have to convince daughter to try out MT transmission....

both are definitely economical...although altis is a class higher I guess

your thoughts guys.....

kung si iha ang gagamit...bigyan mo na ng CVT...

while you're at gawin mo ng jazz na pink he..he

for girl driver's consideration, mas Ok ata kapag mababa ang dash with which bagsak ang Altis... but its seating position is kinda Ok naman.also, getting a new car ensures troublefree driving especially sa mga girls na wala mashadong alam sa troubleshooting and maintenance.

although i prefer the Altis personally.

parekoy... mas safe at practical ang CVT compared sa MT kung monica iha mo ang gagamit.

Its a waste, Honda doesnt sell Jazz in the pink color any more. It was just a one-off release for last year's model.

thanks...napa-isip ako duon....hmmmm....

hmmmm....always thought that the easy maintenance and dependability of the ALTIS is a plus....

never thought of the high dashboard of the altis....

1.3 CVT is 630k? Magkano ba ang discount ngayon?

na read mo na ba about sa lemon city ni Psylocke?

IMO, i think the most approriate for your daughter is the CVT. Generally, driving skills and enthusiam of women are not of the same level with men. The ease of driving should be given utmost consideration in choosing a car for her. In the case of a lemon unit, just be careful in selecting one. Not all Citys' are lemon.

id go with 2005 altis 1.6e

[j_avonni]

Personally, I would go for Altis. It's already an A/T at mas malakas ang makina at 1.6.

I'd go with the Altis, my petite sister drove one in her driving school class and it seems that the "high" dashboard and M/T isn't a problem at all.

How old is the Altis? Get it if you can manage to wrangle a lower price.

It is better to let your daughter try/practice with a manual transmission first and let her decide whether she can manage with it or not. If not, the City you suggested is still a good choice. I think if you add another Php 80,000 +/- to the price of the 1.3 City you can get the 1.5 variant with lots of add ons such as ABS , airbags, etc.

Well kept Altis....go for it!

Altis din. My female cousins who absolutely have no love for cars have no problems driving their Civic and Frontier. Both M/T.

You get more metal for your money with the Altis.

If you're not in a hurry, there are also A/T vehicles in the pre-owned market.

[kmo]

id also go for the altis pero since its for your daughter .. just get her the brand new car para de na siya mahassle mahirapan plus make it a matic na

[niky]

Altis. More metal, more space, Good economy, and since it's a Corolla, and secondhand, to boot, you won't wince every time she gets a small scrape or ding.

altis for me
