2005 ALTIS 1.6 E or 2005 CIVIC VTI-S

[celtpinoy]

the ALTIS is manual as opposed to the CIVIC which is AUTOMATIC?

what are your insights? gas mileage and maintenance costs?

am leaning towards getting this for my daughter's eventual use...


thanks guys

call it indecision on my part...

I've actualy purchased the ALTIS 4 weeks ago.....am quite happy with the purchase.....

but now an opportunity to consider an alternative an Automatic transmission CIVIC vti-s 2005 at that....(daughter priority again comes into play)....

so here comes the dilemna....is it really worth considering at all?

Try to test drive the Civic and there you can decide. The '05 VTi-S has 4 wheel disk brakes and is a/t already so if the mileage and condition are similar then why not? Maintainance cost has a little edge towards the Corolla but the Civic isnt far behind (plus every 10,000kms lang ata service requirement for the Honda). On gas mileage, the Altis has an edge... esp. if yours is a m/t and the civic is a/t.

It will boil down to preference IMO. I was faced with the same dilemma before (Altis vs. Civic) and it was a test drive of both that made me decide on the Civic (my space and driving feel preferences favored the Civic).

personal kasi i find the altis more to my liking....

manual or matic doesnt matter to me since wala naman gaanong traffic dito sa province...
