98 galant or 99 civic vtec?

[frazam]

i am choosing between getting a 98 vr4 galant or a 99 civic vtec? Which is the better buy? The civic is more expensive by 50k. I am also thinking about a 2000 astra wagon? any advice? thanks!

Choose the "shark" galant. ganda ng porma.

Dami na meron civic.

midsize sedan ang galant. I'd say go for the civic.

yup, Galant boy ako kaya go w/ this one (hehe bias ba!),.. yun nga lang look for manual bro. Yung rayban VR/SS, mostly sirain A/T tranny, sakit nila yun kung baga. Kaya go w/ the shark one. Parts are not hard to find and not that very expensive too!

when you use an automatic tranny you dont push it so hard so it does not burn. When you're in a hurry and you need to accelerate more than the usual sa startup then use the OD switch para maximize nya yung gears 1-4 then use the switch again to reach the fifth gear. In this case hindi stress yung highest gear which is usually nabuburn. \

If you don't have the budget to maintain the Galant and pay for its fuel consumption, you will truly be sorry in the long run.

Maintenance costs will be 2X to 3X higher. And gasoline consumption will be 30% to 40% higher. Expect to pay at least 50k a year for maintenance (possibly much more, if something expensive like the computer or transmission breaks). Also look at your daily driving pattern. If you drive 25km a day, you will consume ~5L per day on the Galant, and about 3L on the Civic. That's a difference of 80 pesos per day or 1600 per month.

Between the cars mentioned, I would rather get the 98 Galant. But if you are also considering the fuel consumption, then get the Civic.

for the long run? just get the civic

hmmm... 2 for galant, 2 for the civic... thanks for the replies. yung galant shark type na matic, yung civic din matic. para magamit din ng wife ko. im leaning towards the galant kasi mas mura ng more than 50k e, as for fuel consumption, di naman ihaharurot. malaki ba talaga diff ng dalawa?
