    Hello everyone, could someone please help me. Which one is more fuel efficient? Which one is more practical in terms of parts? Which one is better in terms of performance.

    If you can suggest other model please do so. BTW I also consider GSR 2001.

    Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks!

    Both are gas guzzler! Search mo na lang sa web kung paano ma max out para maganda FC mo. Personally i like the Accord more than the Galant.

    Accord. Mas elegant kaysa Galant and mas bago pa... But I had that kind of Accord once and malakas yan sa gas... Around 5-6km/L city driving...

    Thanks sa info mga sir, 300k lang kasi budget ko. Baka may suggestion kayo ibang model. Prefer ko sana ung hindi maxado mataas ang FC pero mabilis na even stock.

    Thanks ulit!

    Quite a tall order you have there. Mid size sedan that is fast in stock form but efficient, practical and cheap spare parts in a budget range of 300K...

    From my experience, the Corona Exsior seems to fit that bill and you'll have a lot of change to spare for repairs.

    If your priority is fuel efficiency, at that range you'll be better off checking out a vehicle like a Vios, Altis, City.

    TO answer the query, I prefer the Galant over the Accord in the looks department as the design seems to age better IMO. On FC terms, pareho lang matakaw yan but the Accord will give you better performance in terms of straight-line speed.

    At the end, the make or break to the deal is really the condition of the car you're getting so just take your time and choose carefully.

    seems like you prefer mid-sized sedans. are you willing to consider compacts? civics and corollas with the same year model will fit your budget. more fuel efficient than your choices.

    Yung tinitingnan mo ba na Galant ay yung V6 version or I-4? The Accord kasi is like in between the I-4 and the V6 Galant in terms of performance AFAIK. Pero I'd pick the Accord anytime due to the design and the mere fact that it has the VTEC system. If you check out motioncars.com's articles about that particular generation of the Accord, you'd see that they liked it very much. Maybe you may also want to consider the Cefiro. Its got lots of toys along with a V6 engine, sablay nga lang sa resale value, but very good if you want to keep it.

    Stay away from the GSR, I find it to be very impractical. It doesn't have any performance improvements from its sedan counterpart and yet has the added inconvenience of lacking two doors and lots of rear seat space.

    good thing cefiro was brought up because regarding its low resale value, you as a 2nd hand buyer actually is gonna benefit from it. test drive those 3 cars before deciding. good luck.

    I was about to recommend the Cefiro, but then, it was mentioned already.

    Anyways, between the three, the Cefiro comes in first then the Accord in second and the Galant comes in far third.

    The reason why the cefiro came in first is because of the reasons regarding its resale value. elegance & comfort. The cefiro being known as a nissan has obviously a low resale value, an advantage to 2nd hand buyers. I've seen some 2002 units that are priced at 320k, negotiable. The A/C's good, sabi nga nila .. " nissan eh. " Regarding the maintenance however, I do not know.

    The Galant looks old for me. Wala nang wow factor. Unlike the cefiro, slap 19's, drop. Pogi na.

    galant for me in terms of looks. i've ridden on both cars but i don't want to compare the ride. pero for me, i favor more its interior lalo na pag beige than the accord. tsaka front ng galant looks more like the shark-inspired lancer ex ngayon, mukang dito nag originate kahit siguro hindi naman
    PERO
    ang taste ko sa muka ng accord ay at par lang sa galant. it's just that, yun nga, yung galant kasi mukang ex na ng onti kung pagagandahin mo. dun lang nanalo ng 0.01% ang galant sa looks department ko kesa sa accord

    performance? i'd go for the accord. i do believe hindi v6 nasakyan kong galant and so goes on the accord pero the push is really something that i can notice. so accord gets my vote.

    sa body size when looking from afar, the galant looks bigger than the accord though. something might be wrong with my eyes

Honda Accord 2001 or Mit. Galant 2000?
