Dear All,

ALtis 1.6G AT Vs. Civic 1.8S AT

Kindly post your comments on the two vehicles. And help me make up my mind.

ALtis: ph854,000

pros: proven reliability, fog lamps, HID ata, Multi info display, probably better discounts, aftermarket parts abundant, complete safety gadgets

cons: scheduled to be replaced


civic ph869,000

pros; "all new and improved", hi-tech engine, 5speed AT, digital display, safety devices,

cons: too high tech, too digital, unproven, no foglamps pa.


Its to replace a '96 Gli thats still running well but showing its age narin.
We buy cars and keep it upto 10years kaya reliability and ease of ownership with repairs is a big big factor in the choice.

Value wise it seems the altis has the edge, but civic's pricing is also good. You seem to be getting what you pay for.

A big concern for me is the digital display of the civic, sure its nice and flashy while brand new, but after 2 years kaya will it still be bright and fucntioning perfectly. (digital fuel, temp gauges)

And i read here at tsikot, someone commented toyota phils production facilities are better compared to honda Phils.


thanks in advance
