    halow richard musta na diyan sa oz..hehehe sori ot.

    to answer iriver's question, i would have to recommend the honda city (biased ba, hehehe) why?

    1. fuel efficient car against the rising fuel prices - best mileage i had is 10 km/l (city driving) while highway driving registered somewhere between 13-14 km/l
    2. compact size - very easy to park and maneuver around town
    3. parts - they say when its a honda, price of spare parts would be sky high. maybe if you buy them at the dealer. since the city has been here for almost 8 years. a lot of replacement parts are already available.
    4. youre ticket to join HCP anyway even if you buy the esi or the lx you can still join

    Esi or LX. Yang EG body ang sarap pagandahin and ok talaga yung total package.

    I do have an ESi which is scheduled for some major works this summer. I thought of selling it once kahit wala akong problema nito. It is my first car. Last Christmas while nagbakasyon yong pamangkin ko na galing sa Tate -mahilig siya sa drag, and I told him that I'm planning to sell it nalang, he shot back and me and said "Tito, are you nuts?" This is the model from Honda na sarap pagandahin, sabi nya. He in fact suggested to me to replace the current engine which I'm going to do by summer, hopelfully. Kaya nag bago bigla ang isip ko. Of course ESi.

    AFAIK, from 92-95 ang ESI and yes, hindi pa VTEC ang LX and ESI, just not sure kelan naging VTEC ang City.

    Given the current price range of the 1st gen City, I'd go for a 96+ LXi.

    Both the LX-ESi body Civic and the 1st gen City are prone to rust. But beside that, they're very good cars.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    if id go for an ESi.... it better be a 95 model....
    although the City 1.3 Exi is fast, fun and more economical, the spartan accomodation turns me off thou.
