HELP! 96-98 Civic VTI or 97-99 Cefiro or 98-00 Accord

[fullmetal]

help naman sa pagpili mga ka-tsikot! manual ang gusto kong tranny.

ano ba ung mga PROS and CONS ng bawat model? sa ngayon kasi ang pinaka-gusto ko sakanilang 3 eh yung CIVIC.

ayos din sana ung Cefiro at Accord kaso ang naiisip ko naman papatayin ako sa gas at maintenance ng mga yun.

oo nga pala kung may kilala kayong nagbebenta ng CIVIC jan pwede paki-pm naman sa akin contact number? ang gusto ko sana 1st owned, all original, not flooded tsaka reasonable ang presyo.

thanks in advance!

You already answered your question, if gas prices are a concern the the go for the Civic, I own a 2000 Civic Vti, reliable and still sporty even if all stock.

[fullmetal]

ang naiisip ko naman eh baka may magaganda ding advantage yung cefiro at accord compared sa civic na pwedeng mag-off set nung gastos sa fuel. tsaka mas mura kasi ang cefiro at accord compared sa civic eh kaya napapaisip talaga ako

Depends on what you really want for a car, the Cefiro and Accord is more comfortable to ride on than the Civic, spacious. That's all I can think of.

Civic, more fuel efficient, maintenance wise a little cheaper to maintain the the 2 mentioned above. An ideal car for everyday use. I think the reason why the 2 mentioned earlier depreciate faster is because more people prefer the Civic than the former (Correct me if I'm wrong), plus people find it easier to dress up this variant too. Good luck with your decision.

maganda choices mo ha.

the cefiro and accord offer outstanding ride quality, lots of power and torque (iwan mo silang lahat sa stoplight), image (wow big time) and class.

downside, mas malakas sila sa gasolina. BUT, sa long drives, halos tabla lang sila sa civic. my cefiro gets 8-10 km/liter at a steady pace of 110-120kph sa highway, halos parang yung 96, 99 at '03 civics ko (puro matic ito ha), which get about 10-11 long drive.

lugi ka lang talaga pag pirmi kang nakahinto sa traffic pag naka cefiro/accord/camry ka.

pero for me, hindi mo pa rin matatawaran ang "angas" factor ng mga malaking kotse.

pros ng civic, apart from fuel economy, ay yung madali sya ilaro sa traffic. cons, in my experience, sirain ang pang-ilalim, pala overheat, at mahirap humanap ng matino.

yun lang. good luck.

I'd suggest a 2000 Civic VTi or SiR (dapat yung fresh pa ah!) for an economical yet fast daily driver. If you would like more luxury, the Cefiro obliges. The 2000 Cefiro Brougham or Elite are very luxurious cars that are not expensive to buy, and putting on huge rims make them look even better. But the Honda Accord, correct me if I'm wrong, gets better FC numbers due to its inline-4 vs the Cefiro's V6, and it has sportier handling and has a performance oriented engine.

[fullmetal]

personally kasi ayaw ko ng vti na sir body eh. mas gusto ko ung mas naunang VTI kasi parang may sarili siyang identity yung SIR naman di pasok sa price range ko, masyadong mahal! gusto ko sana mga 200k+ lang eh

thanks sa mga nagreply! keep them coming.

maganda sana ung nakapagtry na gumamit ng tatlo

well appreciated ang mga inputs niyo mga ka-tsikot

[GTi]

Ganun? Ako nalulumaan sa lumang VTi, yung 2000 VTi kasi mas streamlined ang harap at gustong gusto ko ang likod nya. Iba naman ang grille ng VTi at SiR kaya OK lang. So what are the order of your priorities? Fuel mileage? Performance? Comfort? Image? Tuneability?

[fullmetal]

civic or cefiro nalang pinagpipilian ko

syempre importante FC nung vehicle pero dahil mas mura naman ung cefiro kaysa sa civic baka ma-offset din yun.

tsaka since first car ko siya, gusto ko sana eh yung pwedeng pagandahin


any more inputs? tia!

[blue_gambit]

Get the civic yun ang mag meet ng requirements mo.

Pero kung ANGAS lang ACCORD na ko. Honda badge, younger looking and sportier than the Cefiro IMHO. Kung chicks din ang main goal, Accord. hehehe

if i were you, mag civic na lang ako.

leave the cefiro to the guys who like reliable luxury cars, like me, hehe. basta maganda paint, all we cefiro guys need to do is put some soundz and 18 rims in. and our engines reportedly last well over 300T kms (the 3.0 version is on ward's best engines, for about 5 years lang naman).

civic guys need to do a bit more para habulin yung power at torque ng cefiro. they'll also need to constantly replace timing belts, thermostats, radiators, blower motors, etc etc... di bale, they get 8 km/liter pa rin naman normal traffic, and 10-12 km/liter long drives... its just that they'll be paying repair costs a bit more frequently.

take this from someone who owns both cars

[renzo_d10]

Eto lang yan ...

Kung gusto mo VIP styling, get a black cefiro but some 20's chromes drop it.

Kung gusto mo sporty styling, get the civic.



Pero kung ako papipiliin, no doubts ... cefiro ako. ;)

[fullmetal]

civic nalang nga siguro ang ipapabili ko, kasi mas bagay siya sa age(18 years old palang ako haha). binata car nga kung tawagin


pero naguguluhan naman ako ngayon, kasi may nagsabi sa akin na maganda din ang mitsubishi GSR. gagawa nalang ako ng ibang thread para dun, thanks sa mga sumagot mga ka-tsikot!

[GTi]

GSR? Wag! Econobox coupe with no added performance over the sedan version? Tapos di pa practical since 2 door lang siya. Ikaw naman ang bibili so I'd leave the choices to you. Civic VTi has a 1.6 I-4 that makes 125hp, is more economical, more "youth-oriented", is the last Civic model with double wishbone suspension fore and aft, and still looks quite modern ('98-'00 version), but parts, repair and service can be quite expensive since it is a Honda, and it doesn't have many features (rear drums, no ABS, no airbags, etc). The same era Cefiro has a lot of toys and a host of safety features (Elite or Brougham VIP), 2.0V6 engine which is good for 155hp, more comfortable ride, and it can be a "binata car" too, I know someone with a white Classic Cefiro which was facelifted to look like the 2000 model (change lights and bumper) with subs in the rear and huge rims and it looks stunning!

Kagaya ng sabi ko sa isa mong thread, forget the %&^*#(^ GSR. :hysterical:

3 words, panget panget panget.

Kung hindi ka pwede sa VIP styling ng Cefiro, diyan ka na sa Civic ... nothing else.

ok sir! unfortunately wala pa din kaming mahanap na civic na all stock at all orig na sariwa pa.

any advice saan pwede maghanap? tumitingin ako sa sulit.com.ph, ayosdito.ph, tsikot car finder, carfinderph.com, kotsemo.com, autolink.com

[Battlestar]

Sir,

Sundin mo payo nila. Looks and Fuel concern mo diba? Mag Civic or Cefiro ka na lang sir. Kung binata ka lang sir at wala pa masyado pinag-iipunan, Cefiro na tapos bihisan mo lang ng konti. Pero kung in-between ng binata at nag-iipon, Civic ka na lang kaso takaw sa upgrades yan.

[isa1023]

I'll choose the Accord anytime.



Well, simply because I'm tired of the Civic and the A32 Cefiro's look and image add some significant digits to my age. Not to mention the V6 engine which will definitely make me older due to stress (hirap mag-maintain, takaw sa gas).



But if it's the A31 Cefiro? ...

Deym

[ben_david19]

I'll go for the Cefiro. Aircon, Nissan still 1 of the best out there. sa totoo lang, pwedeng pangkarera itong Cefiro with its V6 monstrous engine.

plus marami kang makikitang stock Cefiros out there. ayaw ko lang yung aircon panel nito dahil electric, yung nakuha ko before sira na yung panel kaya yung aircon ko hindi ko makontrol ang lamig.

[isa1023]

Diba matic yung A32 Cefiro V6?
