Civic is a compact class while Vios belong to the sub compact.

In terms of space: Civic > Vios

Also if you are going for the Civic ES may well get the facelifted one starting in 2004. Also go for the VTI-S vs. VTI. The former has more safety features and more. Their price difference is negligible.

I'd also get the Civic between the two and i agree to go for the 2004 - 2005 model.

+1 on the Civic ES. Though if I have that 300k, I might be looking at the limited edition 2.0L i-VTEC Civic ES (2004-2005).

5'9" lang ako pero medyo masikip leg room na sa akin gen1 vios. 160lbs na din para may reference ka

Nga pala papable fanboy ung 300k mo sa civic bago mo maging project car bulok na bulok na. Sa vios mas bata makukuha mo.

Next thing you know pekeng oakley na din maisusuot mo at kung hindi naman ganon kayaman magulang mo para bigyan ka ng unlimited gas mauuwi din magcocomute ka at ingat ingat lang baka umitim din bigla batok mo kakacommute.

Better go with sentra mas bata sa lahat, mas mura yun eh kung space ang hanap mo.

sakit ng civic ES dimension ay rack and pinion leak, madaming nagkaroon nyan... i know nagbabasa basa ako dati sa club 7th gen (7th generation ang civic es dimension) ang sakit naman ng vios ay laging iniisip pang taxi.. dagdagan ko na rin para sa hinahangaan mong civic, ang civic eg sakit bulutong, ang civic fd marami, isa na dun ang notorious na engine support at auto tensioner...

I would get the Civic.

I have an 01 1.6 Civic VTI M/T. It will turn 13 yrs old this yr and it is still working, but I wouldn't say in 100% good condition, up to now. It has ran more than 195k kms, all stock, no modifications, transmission hasn't been replaced and engine hasn't been overhauled.

Recently I tried in SCTEX as to how fast can it still go, it can still do 180 kph but from 140 kph, it was unstable already.

It overheated only once, I experienced where the rpm became erratic where it would go so low until the car dies, I also experienced where the MIL lit up, leaking issues such as oil leaks, P/S fluid leaks, water seeping in the driver side carpet, and a lot more. In short, it wasn't a problem free car. But those problems started to appear starting on its 5th yr, if my memory serves me right.

For as long as that Civic that you have seen is well taken care of, it should be livable or "pwede na" considering the age.

The parts that normally or very frequently need replacing are stabilizer links, shocks, bushings, engine support, P/S parts (this is the pricey one but the remanufactured version is much cheaper) and I agree with that rack and pinion. I think at least 2 or 3 of those parts will be replaced in less than 2.5 yrs depending on how you used and abused your car.

Yan ang mga parts na kailangan mong pag ipunan.

Good luck in your pick!

By the way, TS, my Civic can run up to 360 kms in 1 full tank. It's currently running using Royal Purple oil. Minsan napapaabot pa na 390 kms lalo pag hindi dinadala sa matraffic na lugar. Pag palagi sa traffic, around 320 kms. Full tank is around 1900 pesos and minsan less basta naglalaro lang sa 1800 to 1900 sa Seaoil unleaded and roughly 34++ to 35++ liters yang ganyang amount so around 8++ to 10 kms/liter siya.

Pero sana next time, when you are asking for a comparison, pls refrain from making comments like "mukhang taxi" kasi magmu mukha kang engot, inutil at walang alam niyan. Hindi dahil ginagawang taxi ang isang brand means pangit na ito. Nagkataon lang na hindi pwedeng gawing taxi ang Honda sa atin kaya walang taxi na Honda.

[brainmafia_310]

Nakabili ka na ba TS? Update naman Sir.

Or sablay ang grade kaya ayaw ibigay ng magulang mo pambili ng kotse?

For your size and comfort and project plans better get the Civic. If you plan to keep your car longer than your college years better get the Vios.

The guy has already decided to buy civic instead of vios. Below was his logic reasoning......
"salamat sa mga sagot sir.. mukang mag ES nalang ako.. di pa mukang taxi haha!"

Agree. sorry TS.

anyhow honda and toyota are both reliable car. pero just put in mind yung edad ng kotse kahit gaano kareliable yan sooner or later may mga sakit na iyan.

good luck in buying your new toy boss TS.
