    Sabagay sir, medyo yung nga nasa isip kong tignan (Honda VTI/LXi) , how about its fuel consumption sir?
    How about yung Honda City sir?

    Fuel economy of the VTi is above average compared to other 1.6 liter cars of the time.

    The old Honda City? Nice little car... kinda cramped, but it's light and peppy. Steering isn't so good, though, and secondhand first generation City cars are very very expensive for such bare cars.

    They're very reliable, since they're basically old Civics (EF, I think) with different bodies, but those bodies are kinda prone to rust, disappointing for cars from that time period. If you can find one with a good body, selling for 200k flat, okay, I guess, but for the 250-270k people are asking for it? No bloody way.

    Ok sir, mejo may nakita lang ako sa ads na Honda city 2000 or 2001 model i think na mejo ok pero beyond my budget (250k) siguro i just considered the model pero ok lang if I settle yung mejo later model basta mejo ok sa fuel consumption,mejo bagay sa akin,and less maintenance,ngaun lang kasi ako mag-car, yung dati kong pick-up(LS 95) mejo less maintenance talaga.. I viewed from the other threads na ok ang ford lynx 2000+ model which is in my budget..What do you think sir?

    TIA!

    get the 00TypeZ LXi or if you can the 00TypeZ 1.5EXi.

    if you can get those variant there's another choice... the 01-02 TypeZ 1.3GL although stock doesnt have magwheels.

    The Lynx would cost more to maintain than a City, that's for sure. It's not the nightmare some people think it is (just set aside 3 to 5 thousand for the eventual sensor replacement for older Lynxes), but the City uses pretty old technology, and older usually equals cheaper... despite the fact that it's a Honda, and Honda parts often cost a little more than others.

    Otherwise, the Lynx is another fun car to own. Good steering, great handling and sporty looks (depending on the year model). Sound insulation is so-so, and the cars ride stiffly (but they handle well). Fuel consumption is merely average, though, and don't get the AT... horrible fuel economy on that version, and it's not up to heavy duty use. I've heard/experienced to many bad things with old Mazda/Ford automatics... but then again, I've seen old Honda automatics that were total crap, too.

    One upshot of the Lynx is that you can fit 18" magwheels with 205-35 tires it'll fit with some fender rolling... ...looks badass. Oh, of course 18" rims will ruin your fuel economy, ride and performance... but they look great!

    Aside from my gripes about the City, I think the newer Type Z versions, with the revised tail-lights are nice-looking and fun cars, and if you don't have big relatives to drive around, it's just right for a single guy... it's just very hard to find one at a good price.

    Magwheels? Bah... di na yan kailangan... just buy a secondhand set of ROTAs and some good tires (best get some quiet tires, the City has poor sound insulation), ayos na yun!
