    Regarding sa buong assembly, siguro. Marunong si dr. d sa kotse eh. Tsaka meron kami Honda, magastos talaga yan. :hysterical:
    i wish to make a correction. hindi naman ako marunong... matanda lang at may karanasan... heh heh. what i contribute here is mostly from experience..
    and that was the first generation city. i don't know if they had since made changes.. i am hoping others out there would inject more information and make corrections if necessary.
    and today's shock absorbers are no longer the 18 inch long units of yesteryear.. today's front shocks support the front weight of the car! they will easily cost a few thousand each if one doesn't watch it... and i am wondering why they would need replacement after only 4 years.. they usually last longer..
    i wish this internet were available when i was younger.. it would have saved me a truckload of money..

    From the top of my mind, Vios. Seems to be more matibay versus the City overall based on the abused units at office before.

    Sir hindi 4 years ginamit eh. 2008 model sya pero na-acquire SEPTEMBER 14, 2007 yung City. So malapit na sya mag five years. Give me rough estimate naman mga sirs about dun sa price ng 2 Front Shock Absorbers ng City 2008 idsi and trailing arm bushing po. Wala kasi ako ka-alam alam pa talaga. First car ko sana kung sakali and auko sana ng sakit sa ulo. tight budget eh!
    Kanina mga sirs, pinuntahan ko ung Vios 1.3e. First batch sya ng 2nd gen Vios. Na-acquire November 2007. 47k+++ mileage. minor scratches palang ang napansin ko. may plastic cover pa nga ung sa side ng door na chrome. papa-check ko pa sya sa office on wednesday. holiday pa kc bukas. aun. pag walang findings, sa vios na cguro ako. Sana wala nga. 355k po ung presyong napag usapan. Best buy na po kaya mga masters? Please help me po. thansk thanks!

    Btw, sbi ng tropa kong nag ba buy and sell mas matbay dw pang ilalim ng honda. how true is that mga master? WHICH IS WHICH BA TALAGA? Grabe hirap din pala mamili lalo pag budget eh pang 2nd hand lang. Ang lungkot!

    Add ko lang ung City hindi pa sya 2012 registered since end plate is "0" tapos ung Vios 2012 registered na kasi end plate is "4" so upfront cost again for the city's registration sabihin na nting mga 5k.

    So total upfront cost for city is 345k + 15k (repair) + 5k (registration) = 365k w/ transfer of ownership
    Sa vios naman = 355k + 2k pnp clearance = 357k + 5k (transfer of ownership) = 362k

    Waaahhh dikit n dikit

    Our 2006 honda city vtec with 49000km mileage is still running ok. No repairs done sa pang ilalim. i would say its still running fine. What i like about the city is its big and wide trunk, bigger than a vios, if trunk space is one of your consideration.

    Honestly Sir Renzo, kng parehas lang talaga lahat, Vios siguro ako kasi mas modelo eh. Tsaka diba ung lalabas na bagong model ng Vios sa September 2012 is pareho lang din nung modelo ngaun?

    Tsaka ung interior ng Vios parang mas pogi rn compare sa base model ng City. Tsaka ung head unit mas modern ung design. Tsaka un nga mas mura dn imaintain kagaya ng sabi nio.

    Iniisip ko kasi syang dn ung earnest money ko dun sa city which is 5,000 petot. Mababawi pa kaya un kng ssbhin ko na nadisapprove ako kunwari sa loan application?

    Ako kasi naka-Vios rin. So medyo biased ako. Nagpa-1k PMS ako last Saturday sa CASA, 1.2k lang.

    Interior, pwede na. Hinde naman ako nasshock sa interior niya kasi sanay na ako sumakay sa ganun.

    Oo, same body. Actually new variant lang lalabas sa September. Malamang next year pa lalabas yung all-new Vios.
