2014 Altis vs 2013 Civic

[mad0307]

Civic FB owner here so biased ako. I still prefer the interiors of the civic over the new altis. Not a fan of 2-tone interiors. Also, i know it's the trend pero parang ang taas ng dashboard ng new altis. Looks distracting for me

Unsolicited piece of advice, would you like to consider the Nissan Sylphy 1.8 CVT? It is priced at 998K (988K with the current introductory price). Specs for specs it is better than either the Civic or Altis. It is newer than both (at least on our market, it was released 2013 elsewhere). It has better engine than the Altis 1.6V (1.8L 131hp for the Sylphy) and better transmission (theoretically) than the Civic (CVT vs 5AT for the Civic). It offers greater value and way bigger space than both Civic or Altis. It has multimedia HU, all leather interior, 17" rims (bigger than either Civic or Altis), 205/50R17 tires, intelligent key with start/stop engine button, dual zone auto climate control, projector lamps (vs mono auto AC for Altis/manual AC for the Civic). Power folding mirrors, DRL leds and rear AC vents are Sylphy exclusive features not available in either competition.

IMO yung Sylphy Face-Lifted version ng XV40 (2006–2011) Camry, mas ok kung irerevive yung sylvia.

[basti08]

Most might not agree pero eto kasi naaalala ko sa Sylphy.

Maganda nga rin ang hitsura ng Nissan Sylphy (Selfie??). Pero parang mas inclined na ako sa Altis, mas mura din kasi siya (1.6G at 935k).

Hintayin ko na lang din ang lalabas na bagong City for comparison. Hopefully this year.

**Edit: Mas mura pala si Sylphy 1.6 CVT - 915k

Thanks for the breakdown! Sylphy is now in the line-up for consideration.
(Although this will add more to my confusion. )

[Battlestar]

In fairness may laban ang Sylphy dito. Kung ako lang masusunod eh Sylphy > Civic > Altis na ko. Pero since binata ka *TS at 23 years old pa lang, either Civic or Altis ka na. Nung binata rin ako nun' binilhan ako ni erpats ng kotse na 2nd hand Mazda 323. Wala ako ibang narinig na good feedback from my friends and co-workers kundi panlalait. Kesyo bakit daw mazda pinili ko at hinde Toyota or Honda, etc..

[basti08]

Maganda naman ang Mazda 323.

[Retz]

definitely i'd pick the new altis over the civic.

*Torque is both rated at 154NM but the Sylphy is more easily accessibly at 4,000RPM (vs 5,200RPM for the Altis- lower RPM, better)

How is the power delivery of the Sylphy?

Regardless of paper specs, the Altis has very good power delivery (never feels underpowered even at full load) and the CVT is very responsive. I doubt the Sylphy will be noticeably better, if at all.

Antay na lang ng 1-2 months at baka available na rin yung new Mazda3 SkyActiv.

[aligonzales]

IMHO, based on experience, Nissan engines engines feel like they have more power on lower rpms. Honda naman sa high rpms. Toyota is balanced.

On comfort NISSAN Sentra/Sylphy> TOYOTA Corolla/Altis > HONDA Civic
Handling HONDA Civic > TOYOTA Altis > NISSAN Sylphy

Although the 11th gen corolla is closing the gap a little bit with the civic in terms of handling.

In terms of dealership support after purchase in general, ('di ko alam ang tamang term eh, basically casa servicing, other inquiries, etc) alin sa 4 ang ok? Honda, Toyota, Nissan, o Mazda?

Mazda = Yojin3 = free PMS parts and labor for three years (or 60k kms whichever comes first).

[Calistro]

Speaking of Mazda, it probably won't be long before the Mazda 3 comes out. Tiis tiis ka nalang muna TS, baka pag lumabas dito un Mazda 3 magsisi ka. At least mapagpilian mo ng maigi bago bumilim Maganda nga un Sylphy, display sa Trinoma kahapon.

toyota = honda > mazda > nissan based on my personal experiences in manila & QC areas.
