[oksi]

tulong naman decide 2005 civic or altis, parehas 1.6
market value for both
fuel consumption

[niky]

Di ata kasya budget mo, IMHO.

Mga 2003 Corolla pa ang kasya. Don't know the market price for the Civic, though.

[oksi]

ah ganun b. for 550K meron n b?

[mrpink]

if you're looking at the civic vti or altis j .. you "might" hit that price range .. but it's a long shot since it would still be a 1 year old car .. i'd go for the altis if you're looking for fuel efficiency ..

[squala]

Go for Altis unless you want to run the risk of losing your fuel tank.

[Bogeyman]

Whether it's an Altis or a Vios, Toyota sounds like the better buy.

Go for Altis unless you want to run the risk of losing your fuel tank.

Forgot about that. I thought they'd fixed that before the 2005 model year? Besides, it's a free repair/replacement issue, right?

i don't think applicable na yung free repair/replacement .. it was only offered for a specific period ..

pero dapat nga ayos na yan kung 2005 nabili ng 1st owner .. yung es na 2004 and below lang yung affected ..

Can't go wrong with the Corolla.

But you could go wrong with the Civic.

No brainer

power + economical = vvti

Ok, so the fuel tank issue was solved by 2005, but heck, that particular Honda still sucks.

[an0nim0us]

Niky's right, you might not be able to get a 550k worth 2005 model for Altis, Civic it's a long shot din.

Between the two, get the Altis a/t it's great over-all. Civic's engine is good tho, but that's it. driven both cars.

[badkuk]

toyotas tend to have cheaper replacement parts, so if you plan to keep it for >5 years, sa altis ako

depende na rin kung ano kursunada mo...both brands are known for build quality naman e

[mazdamazda]

I'd go with the Altis since the current body will still be around for a few more years.

Unlike the ES which has already been replaced by the FD just this year.

[Mamar]

id go with the civic! i dont know why pero ang lakas talaga ng dating ng civic sakin!

ano b naging issue tungkol dun sa fuel tank ng civic. no idea kse.

[niky]

But since the Civic has already been replaced, you could probably get good deals secondhand.

The 2.0, you can get for just 650k. Too bad it's a guzzler, but it's pretty fast.

[orly_andico]

parang alanganin ang 05 altis for 500k or even 550k.
wait kaya for the avanza? :D

Why? I have one and i'm very happy with it as a daily drive and solo/duo/trio outtatown car... The company i work for has two ES Civics which are driven to the ground and they're still running okay after over 130,000kms.

The fuel tank issue is quite minor IMO and your main concern is to check if the unit you have had been serviced/fixed by the CASA under the recall of Honda.

For me (since we have both an '01 ES Civic and '06 Altis in our Garage), space and driving feel goes to the Civic (at 6 feet, i can't even fit into my preferred driving position with the Altis as the drivers seat doesn't roll far back too much and my head hits the roof when seated at the rear)... better fuel efficiency and torque goes to the Altis (about 1km/l+ difference based on my observations... my 1.5L Civic gets the same city mileage as our 1.6L a/t Altis).

At 500K, you can look for an '03 model of these cars... just check out both units and go with what you feel fits you better in package, ownership history/maintainance history and pricing.

My two cents

[niky]

Korek-kek. Both good cars.
