Help me on deciding my 1st car ever!

[archinox]

Hi Tsikot owners.
I need your inputs on buying my first ever car.
I can't decide which to chose between 2013 Honda City 1.3S MT or Hyundai Accent Hatchback 1.6 MT

Criteria that I'm considering: (most to least)
1.FC
2.Exterior design
3.Interior design/finishes
4.Resale value

Is the 2013 City 1.3S gas the most economical or the crdi hatchbatck?
Hirap ba tumakbo ang 1.3 pag puno na ang pasahero?
I find the accent hatchback interior is too strip-off compared sa honda city pero mas pogi tignan ung hatch.

Please help!! TIA!

Accent Hatch.

Accent hatch na nga. No comparison. Maybe kung yung top of the line city pwede pa.

hindi yata apples to apples. subcompact vs compact. different price range pa. parang sinabi mong kakain ka ng shakeys or kakain ka ng don henricos?

pero anyway, given the choices and considerations, eh di accent na nga since may budget ka naman. you usually get what you pay for; mas mahal = mas maraming nabibigay.

accent hatch crdi. mileage is 13.4km/liter city heavy traffic,17.8km/liter light traffic and 24.5 km/l hiway as tested by autoindustriya. plus the price of diesel is much less than gasoline. plus 260n-m torque and 128 ps. san ka pa!

Salamat Sir! nasagot mo ung tanong ko about sa FC. hehe. Pero ndi ba masyadong strip-off ang interior ng hatch? Or its just my taste.

i'd still go for the city.

Hi Sir! Do you mind sharing with me why you chose the City over the Accent? Thanks.

[1D4LV]

Hi Sir! Do you mind sharing with me why you chose the City over the Accent? Thanks.

its because of your criteria din...

exterior design, interiors and resale value. honda pa din yan.

[xander1925]

Accent for me being an accent owner...

Napapangiti ako everytime i drive it.... Tipid na powerful pa..

Maganda naman loob ng accent.. everything you need IMHO is there.. All power, Airbags, disk breaks, security, all wheels..... San ka pa?

[Retz]

Honda city for me.

[7138]

I like both cars TS mentioned.
but.
If your planning to keep the car for a period of time, say 8 years or more,
ill choose the CITY, i think the city will be less of a headache to maintain in the long run.

[archinox]

Honda city for me.

Hi Sir! Do you also mind sharing with me why you chose the City over the Accent?
Because I'm gathering information as much as I could here sa thread knowing na kayo ang mga experts dito.
Any Pro's and Con's choosing the City over Accent and vise versa?
Thanks.

Mukhang mgandang feeling nga un Sir. Manual po ba ung accent nyo? matagtag po ba at maingay ang makina?
Salamat!

How about th all new Vios.

[archinox]

Any more inputs mga sir? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Naitest drive mo na ba ang accent at city? Ako overall sa City based sa mga hinahanap mong criterias. Sa opinion ko FC lang lamang ng Accent over the City esp. the diesel variant.

[yebo]

^ FC, torque and hp for the diesel. if you are fully loaded with 5 passengers and luggage going up tagaytay or baguio then you will appreciate that 260 N-m torque at 1800-2500 rpm as againts the city's 1.3 engine's 114 N-m torque at 4500 rpm. pero kung sanay ka naman sa anemic, gutless honda engines e siguro ok lang sa iyo na gumagapang paakyat na naka-4000 rpm ang makina. wala nga yata ako nakikitang honda na umaakyat ng baguio na sa kennon ang daan.

medyo malambot lang ang rear suspension ng accent, but you can remedy that by installing those rubber spring inserts (cost P800/set of 2?).

Salamat!

its still a diesel, after some time of owning one, you'll eventually hear the sound of a used diesel engine (takataktaktaktaktaktaktak.....)
