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.

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. )
