If you're going for a Civic, do not pick the 1.8 V variant.

I mean come on, no airbags and no ABS man lang?!?!? That's just dumbfounding. Thus you can forget about the 1.8V variant.

Either only option in a getting a Civic here is to go higher (either 1.8 S-2.0 S AT).

However, if fuel economy is of high importance to you, you can request from HCPI for a special variant that has all the features ng 2.0S-L variant yet still uses the R18 engine . Still ends cheaper than a 2.0S manual version.

In short, parang 1.8 GL variant sa JDM Civic (R18 engine + paddle shifters).

However, if money doesn't permit you, best bet mo is to go for the Fit/Jazz HB with the CVT auto gearbox. The 7-speed CVT offers manual mode shifting in three different gear positions (D-S-L) with each mode suiting to driving preference and varying road conditions.

So if you ask me, I would say: Fit/Jazz with 7-speed CVT auto gearbox

If you would choose the Civic though, the 1.8V variant is lousy.
