1.6 Civic VTi versus 1.6 Altis

if it matters hehehe,

i have an '02 Altis 1.8G...best toyota i've had so far ('96 XE, '00 GLI)!

mileage (on velocity): 7-8 in the city, 15 on the highway...i luv that part :-) dahil siguro nga yun sa binanggit na power-to-weight ratio...

yung sa tranny naman, pag city driving mas gusto ko naka disengage yung power mode nya. i really don't like the way it works at city speeds (below 50kph), as it downshifts too early at magastos pa sa gas. pero sa hi-way, masarap yung power mode niya, enjoy! hehehe

but i really love its "brad pitt" torque esp in city traffic ;-)

my only gripes against it were the fake wood panelling (too light in shade), the seat cushions are a bit too firm, the drivers seat back cant be leaned up and forward as far other cars i've driven, and the yokohamas that came with it... but i felt i got my money's worth on this car

nothing against honda, in fact i love its smooth ride. kaso, it looks so small inside and outside for a 4-door sedan ...and shall i say plain? maybe the accord would be nice :-)

but going back to the original question? hmmm...i'd stick w/ the toyota, but in manual trans if i want to enjoy the peppy 1.6L engine. i still hold the opinion that for an A/T to work efficiently you need at least a 1.8L engine, for the compact sedans

Altis pa rin. I pretty much believe it will have a higher resale value in the long run.

Nothing against Honda but one of my colleagues got a Civic VTI-S one month after i got my Vios. Last month, i noticed that there was a Honda tow truck on our company Motorpool. It turns out that his gas tank fell out while he was driving along Malinta.
