Mga friends alin ang mas maganda, easy maintenance at maganda ang resale value. Thanks George Brunei

[macho palito]

honda civic hands down!!! from ease of maintenance to resale value!!!

is it just me, or talagang matagtag ang new civic? napaka stiff ng ride.. we testdrove it last week and i wasnt impressed at all.. its speed is evident, ang bilis ng hatak, thing is, nacompromise ang ride comfort... althp matipid sa gas...

maintenance = honda
resale value = honda
ride comfort = ford
luxurious feel = ford

if you are a driver-driver, get the civic.. but if you're just a driver who wants to get from a to b safe and "sound", get the ford. :-)

imo lang po. :-)

i think civic's kind of overrated though. i still prefer the mazda3. hehe la lang.

But I do want to own the new civic for a change... hehehe

Wala namang 2006 Ford Lynx 1.8 -- perhaps the OP means the Focus.

Medyo magkalayo ang presyo ng Focus 1.8 sa Civic FD, it's not a very good comparison, a better one would be the Focus 1.8 vs the Civic 2.0 S or L.

Better/more interesting comparison:

1) Civic FD 1.8S automatic * 807k (no safety features)
2) Civic FD 1.8V automatic * 874k (two airbags, ABS)
3) Focus 1.6 manual * 799k (driver airbag, ABS)
4) Mazda3 1.6S automatic * 749k (discounted, driver airbag)
5) Mazda3 1.6S hatch automatic * 799k (discounted, driver airbag)
6) Mazda3 1.6V automatic * 839k (discounted, two airbags, ABS)

The Focus seems to be the cheapest compact car you can get with an airbag and ABS.

Downside lang ng fordfocus nabasa ko sa inquirer, malakas daw sa gas. pero swabeng swabe ang ride..

OT:btw, share ko lang. mazda GH is giving my mom a 90k discount on the mazda3V.. sa mga buyers, advice lang.. if youre really rooting for mazda, sabihin nyo ure also thinkin about the civic.. since mas bago bla bla.. tas wait lng kyo mga 2 weeks, ayan, aabot na ng 90K discount nila.. kasi dati 35k lang binibigay nila discount sa mom ko.. tas naging 45k... then 60k... tas 80... ngayon 90k na.. ewan ko lang ha, kc kumuha mom ko ng 3 mazda 3 S sa GH nun for company car, then tribute for personal use.. pero i think tlga na mazda will do just about anything to get a sale since the civic is keeping them on their toes tlga.. everyday tumatawag ang mazda sa office ng nanay ko..LOL.. ewan ko lng kung nakapagdecide na sila since im not home so i dont know..

hmmm...i don't remember the exact prices but when we were doing the car comparison rounds, we immediately whittled down our choices to the ford focus 1.8 ghia a/t and the honda civic v a/t and the focus 2.0 sport and the civic 2.0 s-l because of their beautiful stance and their reputed performance. after several days of deliberation we eventually chose the civic s-l because our 2 previous hondas (ek '96 and jazz '05) are still very much reliable (especially the ek) and headache free. to us, the reliability of our honda cars was the definite turning point. plus the pearl white mica paintjob was just simply gorgeous


btw ang mileage ng fd (2.0 s-l) sa bahay ay naglalaro sa 8-9 kms/liter city driving.

hth

ot lang: nagtataka lang ako bakit iyong 1600 a/t lancer mx(?) napakamahal. halos kapareho niya na iyong mga 1800 variants ng ibang car makes
