newbie po ako and I would just like to ask your help in deciding.
I'm planning to buy a 2nd hand car budget is 300k to 350k
Ang pinagpipilian ko po ay:
Honda Civic VTI '99-'00 model
Honda City 2003-2004 i-DSI model
Pag yung Civic po may extra pa ako pang repair pero pag yung City medyo sagad na. Also, mas gusto ko po yung itsura nung Civic pero mas ok ang FC ng City at mas bago pa. Tsaka mas mainit yata sa mata ng carnappers ang Civic.
naman po kung kayo po ba ang tatanungin ano po ang pipiliin ninyo.
i would go for the city kasi later model...siguraduhin mo lang na alaga ang bibilhin mo bro (ganito naman talaga pag bumibili ng used car) para kahit sagad ang pera mo, wala ka nang papaayusin...muna . at mas marami nang magagandang features ang mga later model cars.
Honda City iDSi is a good choice if you want a practical car but you have to watch out if you are planning to buy the model with the CVT A/T tranny because of design problems when driven a bit hard. They tend to have more accelerated wear & tear issues than your typical A/T. If driven lightly and conservatively, the problem seems to be under control.
having enough dough would recomend the latest model of the two, go for the city since less maintenance for newer models. watch out for overstressed cvt tranny, they're really a pain in the head.....
