Hi peeps,

Need your expert opinion and experience (especially to those who already have these cars). I am particularly interested to get your views on the following:

Speed/Power (what's your experience)
Exterior / Interior (any thing you like/dislike)
Drive handling (ease of use)
Ride (smoothness or matagtag)
Support (casa reference)
Audio (medyo particular ako dito)
Consumption (city driving and hi-way driving)
Overall Value for Money

How much is a Galant 240M & a Civic 2.0 AT?

**impulzz** · August 27th, 2007 05:35 PM

galant = 1,580,000 (citimotors website)
Civic 2.0 S-L AT = 1,127,000 (hondaphil.com)
Civic 2.0 S-L AT (Pearl White Mica) = 1,142,000.00 (hondaphil.com)

pero dapat compare ang accord to galant kasi sila ang same category.

I think you're better off with a slightly used BMW E46 325i/330i or E39 525i / 530i / 540i BMW (E60 is best but it'll be a a challenge to find one though I know someone who got an E60 for 1.2M last summer).

thanks to those who have responded so far.

i know it is a bit different comparing the two, galant being an executive car and civic a regular sedan. cost wise, i may be able to get kasi both at almost the near price (may nagbebenta kasi sa akin na expat on the galant at 1.2m and barely a month pa lang).

indeed magaling and features ng galant being an executive car, while the honda is on the performance side. kaya kailangan ko tulong in accenting which of this should i give more importance. better if the owners mismo can provide their likes and dislikes between the two choices

Sir, I am sorry to tell you but it seems that all tsikoteers doesnt own one. The real Galants ended up in the 8th generation (for me).

In some angles, the Galant is a beautiful car except Olivier Boulays grille which doesnt fit in there. The resale value will also be lower than the Civic since its a mid-size car. But the engine, you get the 2.4L Mivec that produces a nice sound. The suspension will also differ as well, Mitsubishi has a little bit of Rally pedigree on its cars but this will also have the comfort since it competes with the Camry and Accord.

I am sorry I couldnt help much. But I guess you have to test drive both to find out.
