important for me;

1. Suspension reliability
2. comfort (since ill be driving novaliches to ortigas everyday take note i am 5'10 guy)
3. Sulit ba???

Unfortunately walang m/t ang mazda 3.. kung ako wag na altis. Wala lang. Para lang maiba naman sa other car mo. Haha. Pero this 2 choices ang karamihan nagpapagulo sa isip ng mga compact sedan buyer. Maybe compact suv or pick up? Para maiba? Suggestion lang naman

I think in terms of comfort, the Altis is more comfortable over the Mazda 3 in terms of suspension tuning. The Nissan Sylphy however seems to be rated the high in terms of comfort.

Yung Altis pa talaga ang overpriced ha?

Usual comments is CIty is the one overpriced.

i own a VX City BTW

Eto rin dilemma ko few months back.

Got a 1.6V Altis. It's okay. Kasi compact eh. The space is enormous.

Then after 2 months, we bought a VX because of the big discount. Well mostly used by esmi. Elbow space is adequate for a sub compact.. Leg space is great actually, parang yung Altis ko lang. Kaso I'm a big guy.

Great na rin for city driving. Matipid tipid na rin compared to my Altis. Andun pa yung "toys" like touch screen HU, push start ignition, etc..

Ako nung time na bumili kami medyo may agwat pa din talaga price ni 1.6G A/T and the City VX.

Stretched na budget namin sa City, kaya ayaw na ako pahiritin pa ni esmi to get the Altis hehe

We started from Wigo G to Vios E to City E until we ended sa City VX ganun kadameng hirit ginawa ko

Good choices bro!

Great choice talaga yung VX actually. Kaso I wanted more space kaya we first got the Altis. Hindi rin nakatiis si esmi kasi choice nya talaga yung City. Syempre kailangan natin sila sundin, baka hindi na tayo pagbigyan eh

If we'd look back around '08, yung presyo ng VX natin close na sa Civic FD.

And yung Altis now comparing dati, pwede na ako makakuha ng CRV

*TS,

Anyway, do the maths. That's what I always advice. Hindi biro din maglabas ng pera para sa sasakyan. Para kang nag anak ng isa pa. Expenses will always be there (maintenance, insurance, GAS, MODS, chikas JK!). It's inevitable.. Pero kung lintik naman ang dami ng pera mo, eh go to where you heart desires. Test drive lang ng test drive.

Hindi mo rin ata nasama yung Mazda3? Isa rin yun sa choices ko dati. Kaso tatagal samin yung sasakyan.. After yojin, maintaining the car for a decade might kill me.

If you would ask me to choose between the 3, I'll just wait for the new civic

Wala lang, curious kasi ako sa bagong 1.5 Turbo ng Honda.

Aba bro 1st hand info ba yan? :naughty2:

kiddin.

How I wish we can buy both (Altis and City) at almost the same time

**Egan101** · October 27th, 2015 02:10 PM

^^^ The new Civic 1.5L Turbo VTEC might be priced at about the same price or more as the current TOTL compacts. Honda should bring it here just about the same time as Ford will be fielding the new Focus 1.5L Ecoboost. These two models will push further the new trend of small turbo engines which was started locally by the Fiesta 1.0L Ecoboost last year. The new Chevy Trax will also come with a 1.4L turbo engine.

Nakapili na ba si TS? Has he test-driven his choices?

**Egan101** · October 27th, 2015 02:10 PM

double post again...

Feeling college lang ulit :book: :bounceD:

We were saving for the new eve kasi. Then we ended up with the Altis. Then for esmi to buy the VX, binenta na namin yung isang SUV. Ewan ko ba. Ewan ko ba sa kanya.

Price wont even matter if you'll be driving the car that you really want. (Syempre pagiipunan muna) Some will say that it's too pricey. Then dont freaking buy it diba.. Well, thats my perspective. Muka rin kasing A7 yung bagong Civic

I wish Ford could bring the Focus RS too.

Ang tanong na lang dyan, sino ang mauunang sasakyan na magiging sakit sa ulo sa kanila pagdating ng tamang panahon huehuehue

Compacts are more expensive nowadays than what they used to sell for. The current subcompacts are even priced higher than compacts before. The new Civic does look good with its sportback form.

I doubt that Ford will bring the new Focus RS locally. In case it does happen and sold at a good price, enthusiasts will surely line up for an AWD rally-bred 2.3L turbo car with a rated output of 350hp.

**Egan101** · October 27th, 2015 02:42 PM

Can we do something about the double post???

**Walter** · October 27th, 2015 04:04 PM

Ford? Turbo? ... Pass.

Double post issue ... click Go Advance.

Sir Walter, have you had bad experiences with Ford's Ecoboost (Turbo)? Maybe you can share your experiences so that I can share it also with FCP folks who have Ecoboost-powered vehicles. Ford is now moving towards offering Ecoboost engines across its vehicle lineup (Fiesta, C Max, Focus, Fusion/Mondeo, Explorer, Expedition, F150).

Pag binenta mo yung 370Z mo, sobra sobra pa sa Everest. 👍

Yung Z34 na kasi yung mga tipong, "Built, not bought"

Natakam lang din ako sa Eve. Well, hintay muna kami ng mga competitor. Eyeing the new Fort din.

*TS,

Might as well mag ikot ka sa all dealers that is near your place, or within your region. Compare their deals.. Pera din yan. Hindi yan napupulot. 👍

Ayos yan. Tanay tayo soon. Gusto ko lang makita kung gano talaga kalayo performance ng sports car sa econobox pagdating sa real mountain roads. 😀

Traffic (even light traffic) is the great equalizer. I remember posting about seeing an m3 or something similar racing an avanza in the slex. He could out accelerate but couldn't shake the avanza. In light traffic the avanza would always catch up.

Happens all the time. Most recently a CLA 45 AMG. Usually it's because the faster car's driver sucks at choosing the proper lane.

But on a mountain road like Tanay, traffic's much lighter so you can maintain your pace.
