Which 2-liter Car to Buy?

[[archie]]

That looks clean...

Unreasonable price lang but it's in pristine condition.

If your after the accord, it's worth a look. Haggle the price after the test drive, baka sakali bimigay sa 230k.

In my experience mahirap talaga tumawad sa text. Mas ok to look at it first to show your a serious buyer.

Thanks, but no longer looking at the Camry (too daddy-ish) and Accord 7th gen (slow with the 2-liter), while for the Mz3 I'm only looking at 2-liter units

The 7th gen was launched first with a 2.0 and 2.4 then became 2.4 and 3.0 after the facelift.

Thanks for the links bro. I check Sulit several times a day and hirap talaga makakita ng under 200k na VTi-L MANUAL na mint condition.

Anything above 200k mag-Mazda 6 nalang ako..

Sorry bro I'm getting confused, your VTi-L is a 6th gen or 7th gen?

If it's a 6th gen, the 2.3 did 0-100 in under 10 seconds (both MT and AT) and had a top speed of over 200 kph. A Mazda 3 2.0 4AT only does it in 10.5 and I think only reaches 195.

I understand that slow can be relative - what's acceptable ba for you?

I cant remember even what gen it was . I know it was the second full model change that they had after they started initially selling the accord in the philippines. Believe me, i thrashed this car as often as i could. It could barely get to 160. Barely.

This was the all leather, power seat equipped version with the Alpine 2-din stereo as standard.

This Accord?



Weird, I saw a few Youtube videos with the car breaking 200 kph, both 2.0 and 2.3 versions.

I find it hard to believe that this particular Accord has poor performance because both owners and online reviews of the car put its drivetrain as its strongest suit..

After reading and watching videos of stock Accord 2.3s and Mazda 6 2.3s (unscientific, but gives a good idea of performance):

0-100 is both under 10 sec but an MT Accord seems to be faster than an AT Mz6.

0-160, the Mz6 has a slight advantage, 23 vs 25 sec.

0-200, the Mz6 is much faster at a little over 40 seconds while the Accord is over 50. Not too important since there aren't many places you can do 200.

The Mz6 is still the better overall performer but the Accord is very close.

Of course in anything else other than performance the Mz6 just murders the Accord since it's much newer.

Yeah that one. Trust me, its not fast

But it seems you are leaning towards this or a Mazda. Just giving you the opinion of someone who has actually owned this car when it was brand new.

At this point, I'm pretty decided on the Mazda 6 already. I can say with conviction that it's worth double the price of a used 6th gen Accord because of its younger age, better looks and image, superior features, and great performance.

Hirap lang talaga humanap ng fresh all-stock unit under 400k. If anyone knows anyone selling a well-maintained unit, please hook me up.

Kaya ako natetempt mag-Accord kasi laging may bagong sumusulpot sa Sulit.

But then again, why settle for an inferior choice?

2005-2007, 300-350k, up to 400k if it's a very very fresh unit.

Thanks but pass ako bro diyan sa link na yan - first of all, RICEY. Second, I believe that people with crap looking cars are also crap at maintaining them. Third, it's red. I'll only consider a white, black, beige, or silver Mz6.

Want a manual transmission 2.0 that's fun to drive? Get a Ford Lyn... oooh...

Very hard to find one stock for a good price, though. Paddle shifters are just... okay, but what you really want is the manual. Fast-fast-fast-fast!

[IMm29]

Nice find Niky.

[Egan101]

If you're thinking of getting a used 6th gen, get one that's still has a good body. The suspension of the 6th gen is quite solid (double wishbone front & back). Get it cheap and then do an H22 (half-cut) transplant. I still have mine (VTi-L 2.3L AT) but the PS system is starting to leak within the steering rack shaft assembly and it is showing some tranny sliding symptoms. I still like its handling and its body feels light, much like newer compacts. Speed may not be as fast as more modern midsize cars but it's still packs a punch compared to most compacts. I use it for coding now.

If you want a fast 2L compact, get a stock Civic FD 2006-2008 K20 MT (as what Niky suggests) or a Focus TDCi 2007-2008 MT. They could be had for around 400-450k. A few weeks ago, I saw an ad in OLX for a used 2006 Mazda6 in Paranaque for 320k. The ad closed in a week or so.

Thanks Niky, I contemplated on that Civic but ultimately decided that the FD just looks too juvenile and common for me.

The Focus TDCi manual looks better on the outside once you change the stock rims but the interior is hideous.

The Mz6 still looks more upscale than either of the two. I realized that performance is just a qualifier and as long as the car isn't slow, I'm fine with it. What's more important is that it doesn't look old despite its age.

Also, both cars are outside my budget. 450k is just pushing it too much and I'd like to stay within 350 if possible. I don't see a reason to spend an extra hundred grand on a compact car when the 6 is better in every way except that it isn't a manual.
