chow

lots of modern cars can go 200kph the only difference will be how fast it can reach 200kph. also another differnece is would be is how stable the car will be once it gets to that speed. an innova can reach 190kph but at that speed nakakatakot na it feels like one wrong move you'll crash and the engine sounds like it's about to explode while cars like the evo/sti/gc/wrx/legacy can go 200kph and feel like the car is only cruising. being fast is not just about top speed.

Just for clarification if i understand it correct if i will but one year olf HONDA CIVIC it will have a higher Resale value againts a BNew Honda city after 5 years.

The City will have higher resale than a 3rd hand Civic... And sub compacts in general have higher resale than compacts...

Hindi naman siguro 25-30 seconds ang 0-100km/h time niya... L300 na yata yun eh! :rofl:

Perhaps around 8-9 seconds for an unmodified Accent. Now... I would really want to see what an Accent with suspension mods, Brembo brakes and a Unichip along with alcohol injection can do. :devil:

I really recommend the diesel Accent. The lack of safety features is fine with me. We all lived through the cars of the 80s and the early 90s didn't we?

You just need to know how much the suspension and brakes can take when taking it all out on the highway.

thank you sir for the clarification. I was thinking that the car Depreciation is larger in the first two years.

i wasn't able to consider that i 3rd hand hehehe

Mga sir, if will get a second hand car what i should keep in mind?

**zner2525** · January 30th, 2011 09:18 AM

ford focus TDCi!!

tapos pearl white.. ahh sarap..

**red baron** · January 30th, 2011 09:18 PM

i am thinking second hand toyota altis G variant or honda city 1.5...

**GTi** · January 30th, 2011 11:05 PM

Yung Honda City pwede, if you don't mind its large population on the streets. Hindi ko gaano ka gusto ang Altis, especially kung 1.6 ang hanap mo. Kung gusto mo talaga ng Altis, siguro 2nd hand 1.8 variant nalang. And yes, yung agree ako sa Focus TDCi, since hindi ganoon ka rami sa daan at maganda ang performance and fuel economy. Huwag na natin ipag-isipan ang laging sinasabing mahal na maintenance. IMHO na-overblown ang issue na 'yon, every few months ka lang naman magma-maintenance, at marami na tayong natipid sa gasolina especially kung mahaba ang daily route.
