I am about to purchase my first new car and I would love to know your inputs about these 2 cars...

Kung sa FC ang pag-uusapan mas matipid siguro yung Honda City, pero sa porma yung Ford Fiesta lalo na yung Hatch nila! Ako meron ako Honda City 2008 at pagdating talaga sa FC ok na ok para sa akin. Ngayon kukuha ulit ako ng bagong kotse at Ford Fiesta naman kukuhanin ko kasi meron naman ako matipid sa gas na kotse(yung Honda City nga)! ;) Ang pagisipan mo na lang, sa porma o sa tipid sa gas ang gusto mo!

if this will be your first car, you can't go wrong with the City.

I previously had the same dilemna as you did. But in my case, i was looking for a replacement car (retiring my previous gen City). I opted for the Fiesta.

which one po ang mas maganda in terms of FC?

[garic]

it's not an apples to apples comparison in my case. i had the 1.3 City and I recently got the 1.6 Fiesta. So the 1.3 City will be have better FC most of the time.

have a look at this thread and you'll get an idea on the Fiesta's FC:

I am sure there is thread on City's FC somewhere in tsikot

*TS - kung 2011 Ford Fiesta Sport vs. 2011 Honda City 1.5e, mas matipid ng konti ang Fiesta based sa mga Fuel Consumption Data base na nabasa ko dito at sa Hondacityclubph. Average ng Fiesta sa city 8-10 km/L while ang City 1.5e 7-9 km/L. IMO mas magiging matipid na ang Fiesta sa long drive dahil sa 6 speed PS nito. Kung 2011 Honda City 1.3s MT naman, no contest..sobrang tipid nito kesa Fiesta.

*Enrikez - mas matipid talaga iyong sa iyo kasi IDS-i yon. i-VTEC na ang mga Honda City ngayon.

Yup. The Honda City 1.5 AT isn't really all that economical. The Fiesta isn't great (1.6 eh), but it has better gearing for acceleration and highway cruising. Even the 1.3 AT Honda isn't all that impressive compared to 1.5 ATs.

If you want a super-tipid car, buy a manual 1.3 Mazda2 or Vios... they're lighter than the City and Fiesta models, which makes for good in-town economy.

If you want a super-super-tipid car... buy a Suzuki Celerio. Tipid din sa space, though.
