squala please read between the lines... am I accusing you? no.
There's no question to that. What we need to know is if his claims are based on accurate tests.

, I'll gladly post the results.
And no, I won't risk my wife to race against me to see which car is faster. And I probably won't lend it to anyone else just to satisfy our curiosity.
My point is: the two are (Altis and Civic) are obviously two different cars and model. Suffice to say that they will behave differently, there's no need to argue which is better, for each has its own strengths and weaknesses.
Now, if I compare BMW 725 against say, even an Accord, the answer would have been more obvious.
No need to argue, I just raised my opinion in a PUBLIC FORUM that Honda (Civic or City) seems to be a more inspiring drive, than a Toyota. But, on the other hand, Toyota is more comfortable and feels safer. Again my personal opinion in a public forum.
I rest my case. I don't have to put these two cars in a dyno test, do I?

sakaling gusto mo ay automatic try to get at least a 1.8, although mas malakas ng konti sa gas, parang underpower masyado ang 1.6 pag auto lalo na pag may pasahero ka.

That's one factor that made it win a lot of local comparos and the general car buying public.
The Civic ES (7th gen) is still hands-down more of the driver's car... more RPM to work with (the Altis becomes trashy at high rpms but has good low end as observed earlier), flatter handling and more steering feedback, and the space is a tad more than the 'rolla (the 1.5L Lxi can even keep pace with the 1.6L sedans). OF course the heavier body and more restrictive emissions of the newer VTEC engines made this less "sporty" then the older EK and and EGs.
For a time i was looking to sell my pick-up for a '02 Civic VTi/Lxi m/t or '02 Altis E; i favored the Civic more for sole reason that i could not get a comfortable driving position with the Altis as the seats are high and did not recline far enough for me (at over 6ft in height), so it made my legs tired after some time during a long drive.
This said, in the end it is a matter of choice; there is no far superior car (or far inferior)... even outside of the two cars in question.

he he, i'd go for the lancer (Others) yun nga bago naming ride e! kumpleto features (front and rear disc brakes, srs airbags, pioneer hu with 6-speakers, etc.) as well as good value for money!! sya ang pinakamura compared with altis and civic yet sya rin ang pinakafeature-pack sa lahat!

What's in question here is your claim that the City can outrun the Altis. This isn't an opinionated factor in cars, but a technical aspect wherein the truth of which can only be supported by actual tests.

its just an opinion bro... can't get too riled up about it. Like I said, this is a forum, we share our opinions. Ang pikon talo...
We read forums to get an opinion not test results.
Interesting thread—really important to consider the broader impact of the National ID Law beyond...
