tulong nman po d kase kmi makapag decide ng asawa ko kung ano ba ok na kotse. d nman nmin kailangan ng mabilis. fuel efficient lang. we are choosing among city 1.3, fiesta sedan 1.4, o chevy cruze 1.8 L. And san po ba ang best na dealer ng honda, ford at ng chevy (lowest offer and big dicounts offered)? salamat po...

FORD --- totoo po bang mahirap daw humanap ng parts??
HONDA -- ok na ok, but in our observation parang madamot sila sa technology...unlike FORD na lahat ng variants ng FIESTA, all power, lahat may indicator lamp sa side mirror +other perks..at sa HONDA no CASH discounts sa bank approval.

You said:

Hence, remove the Chevrolet Cruze right away. Though it wins in space, its fuel efficiency couldn't match the FE of your two other choices.

So it's now down to Fiesta sedan 1.4L vs. Honda City 1.3S

Personally, I never liked the looks of the Fiesta sedan. But its a debatable thing.

Haven't tried the Honda City 1.3S, but I already have tried the Honda City 1.5E. City driving with moderate traffic and frequent "hataw" gave me a 10km/L. But that's night driving. On afternoon rush hours, it MIGHT give me 9km/L which is completely understandable.

For the 1.3S it might give you roughly the same fuel consumption of 10-11km/L on the City then about 15-16km/L on the highway. Still depends on your driving habits, though.

It's normal for Honda not to give discounts. It's normal for them to slap a ridiculous price on their units high as well. Was very close in getting the same unit (City 1.3S MT) but found it unpractical for the price. Add a little more and I can already get an Altis 1.6E which has a much bigger space and commendable FC.

Looks wise, it's ok.

Maintenance wise, as long as you know where to get your parts no problem.

Fuel efficiency wise, no idea.

BTW, hindi mura mag-maintain ng Honda ah. If you think it's as cheap as maintaining a Vios, nope. Mahal. Taga ka talaga sa CASA ng Honda. Although every 10k kms lang naman kasi, unlike others 5k kms.

Hinde fuel efficient ang ford fiesta a/t sa stop and go traffic. Sa highway, ok na ok. Its because of the gearing, kada andar mo from a stop, 3k rpm agad. Ü. In return though, mabilis acceleration mo.

Mga sir we would to consider din ang vios na 1.3J and 1.3e na m/t
since sabi naman ni sir renzo, commendable ang FC at bigger space pa.

1.6E po na Altis yung sinabi kong bigger space. 809k lang siya, without discounts. It can go below 800k po after discounts.

Although sa case ko, I'll be placing my reservation na for a 1.3E MT Vios next week. I'm not after space na naman since extra car ko nalang ito. My two others eh matakaw na sa gas. Hehehe.

And it's because I got a very good deal from my SA.
