HELP!! I need to choose cars

**sky_sky** · November 6th, 2006 07:31 PM

I am planning to buy one of these cars:
Accord '96 VTEC
Civic '96 VTi
Lancer '97 and
Cefiro '97
because my budget is only 220K
Which one is more suitable for daily driving and which one worth the money best? Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

an Accord with a manual tranny (if you can live with the higher fuel consumption compared to the civic).

Go for the Hondas although the '96 VTi has better mileage than the Accord.

For Lancers kasi better ang mga year 2000 up na variants, maybe you can find one within your budget.

Can't speak about the Cefiro though, haven't come across this car before.

Ah, ic but how much more the maintenance for an Accord compared to a civic? what about the gas consumption on a Civic VTi manual compared to a 2.0L Accord manual?
Thanks alot for the suggestion

My brother-in-law bought his '96 Accord (manual) 2nd hand last June. The previous owner did very good maintenance on it so no problems here yet. He does complain about the fuel consumption though (it's a 2.0 liter engine, what did you expect?). We will have to understand that this is a higher grade honda compared to the Vti so naturally most of its parts, especially the engine, have higher costs.

If this were Toyota, its the difference between Altis and Camry.

ah i see,
I used to have the '99 model galant VR4 2.0L, i really like the body, so seek'n ***y, but the gas consumption.... bleeeeeeeeeeehhh, so badd. so how bad or good is accord 2.0L compared to galant '99?? any ideas? coz' the reason why i sold the galant was because it consumes lots of gas

Forget the accord if you consider gas consumption as you said.

I have a friend who also owns an accord and mind you, this one is much worser than the VR4 if not the same.

ahhh.. with such limited budget, I don't know if u can find cefiros or accords with that. Unless, it is yung mga tipong "rush" sale or the car is not well maintained. Pro if u could find one I'll choose either cefiro or accord.. both are good cars, cefiros has a more powerful "power plant" though... cguro u choose the car that is better maintained. 3rd choice would be the civic, mas tipid in all aspects vs. the 2 (accord, cefiros). Lastly, lancer-- GLXI dapat ha...
