Type Z would ok. but Civic is quite good. lots of space compared to city.

I believe recent 1.6L efi/vtec engine sedans dont vary much in terms of efficiency. I recently own a 2nd hand 01 Ford Lynx Gsi and it gives me 6-8km/l city driving ang 9-11km/l without traffic. I was then choosing between Lynx and Honda City however I see that a Lynx would be a value for your money because of its low resale value - cheaper than a city. The Lynx also has more space and a better handling compared to a City TypeZ. The City only wins in terms of economy since its a 1.5l/1.3l engine.

Guys, thanks for all your suggestions -- they're all very good. It gives us a good picture of the scenario. The car hunting has begun considering all the tips you've given.

Going into details, what's the main difference between a Civic Lxi and Vti?

lxi, pgm-fi non-vtec 1.5L(un alam ko...)
vti, pgm-fi with vtec 1.6L

lxi and vti also differs in interior accessories/amenities...vti has more than lxi..

Anybody here has a 2000-2003 Honda Civic Vti ot Lxi? Care to share the difference?

1996-2001 Civic (EK Body)
LXi
- 1.5L engine
- Gets around 10 to 11km/L in the city (m/t version)
- no power mirrors
- no power antenna
- 13" rims

Vti
- 1.6L engine
- gets around 8+ to 10km/L depending on your driving habits
- power mirrors
- color keyed door handles
- 14" rims

2001-2003 Civic (ES body)
LXi
- 1.5L engine
- no power mirrors
- Gets around 11+km/L in the city (this is my average consumption so far since i got the car, all city driving).
- ample power to run on the highway but once you load it up and climb a steep road then you'll feel the lack of low-end grunt taking its toll so you'll be using the low gears more oft.
- 14" rims

VTi/VTiS
- 1.6L engine
- ABS and airbags (VTiS model)
- no idea on the consumption but my guesstimate is at the 9 to 10km/L range.
- 15" rims
- power mirrors

If you're looking for a AT model, go for the 1.6L variants (VTi, VTiS).

Get the Revo diesel !

isuzu crosswind should be considered when it comes to fuel economy, but with that kind of price range(300-350k) i doubt you can get one. I recommend Civic and corolla if you're looking for a sedan(1.6L). Good luck on your car hunting...keep us updated
