Honda City 1.3 or Chevrolet Optra?

[av427]

Honda City choice ko

Wala akong tiwala sa GM, no offense pero dami ko na naririnig na walang kwenta service nila

[Mamar]

hanep ah, naniniwala ka sa mga kwento kutchero... parang sinabi mo na lahat ng Honda Dealership eh magaling sa service... sana subokan mo mismo magpa-service sa GM (Chevy Dealership)tulad sa Chevy Libis or Chevy Balintawak North para malaman mo... hindi ko naman sinabi na okay lahat ng mga service dealership, siyempre sa isang basket na mansanan eh minsan may nahahaluan ng bulok at hindi maiiwasan iyun...

Since honda naman sasakyan mo, tama ba ako? honda ba? subokan mo mag pa service sa Honda cars Marikina... kwento mo nalang pag napagawa mo na sasakyan mo doon okay...

[bbt]

have you driven an optra? just asking... because i don't have that kind of problem... in my case, if i need more power to overtake i just step on the gas and the car delivers the necessary speed i want...

yes, as a matter of fact it's my daily drive...

doon ako nag pa-re-program ng ecu ko... very accomodating sa service... maayos ang workmanship and very professional... of course once lang ako nakapunta doon usually sa chevy libis ako nagpa-paayos ng sasakyan ko...

iyun lang init sa showroom that time nandoon ako sira kasi aircondition nila...

[alwayz_yummy]

liit lang kasi showroom nila...minsan/kalimitan wala pang diplay.... between munoz and sm north ito, diba? halos tapat ng u-turn slot from southbound to nothbound....

[OTEP]

Oo, katabi nung AKRAM na importer ng surplus. Akala ko hindi kasya yung Suburban sa showroom.

Type ko din Optra wagon. Sensible family car. May brochure ako dito. Refrigerated glove box pala siya. ABS na din with rear foglamps.

[alwayz_yummy]

may ref! aba, ayus a....focus hatch aux in lang ang malalim na glovebox,e....

now saan kaya may display????

[OTEP]

Sa Quezon Ave namin tinignan.

Aux in wala naman kwenta sakin. Wala naman ako hilig sa mga personal music players.

[alwayz_yummy]

nga,e... daan ko nga kung may time...

choosing between the two ... id opt for another car nlng .. the city is too expensive and its like a can on wheels when driven ... latang lata talaga e on the other hand, the optra is a good buy for its price, it looks nice but its a gas guzzler plus build and reliability issues arises with this model... both opinions/Feedbacks are from personal plus other friends experience who own these models

ok rin tong si chuaed a walang mahanap na mali sa optra nya ........ it would really help if you make a non-biased review and feedback of the optra rather than praising it like its the perfect car

Na resolve na po ung gas gusling issue ng optra bro, ok na ang fuel consumption ng optra ngaun! im getting 9-10kml city and 15-16kml highway driving! pero syempre its still a gas guzzler if your goin to campare it to a city but if you compare it to other car on its class ok naman fuel consumption ng optra!

i didn't say that my optra is perfect... ofcourse given na iyun issue na gas guzzler na iyun car ko kaya nga nagawa ko kabitan ng autoLPG... for me i'm just telling what i experienced with my car... and with regards to the service dealearship its not biased as what you might think...

just a comparison... both car underwarranty, after a year all of a sudden battery just went dead... for chevy dealership they will replace the battery for free with no extra charge... how about honda dealership? will they replace the same for free?

thank you

[alwayz_yummy]

OT: ung wagon na optra wala palang ref, cooler vent for the chocolates and drinks....just like sa xtrail...

kala ko katulad ng nasa van ko:mini ref(cool-hot box w/ icemaker)

Honda City 1.3 for me , at least I don't have to contemplate on wether to convert it to LPG or not. Plus no more going back to Casa for ECU reprogramming. Convenience and comfort are the main factors why people opt to get brand new cars.

Of course , factory defects are inevitable. And Honda is also susceptible to such failure. Pero it probably occurs in one for every a thousand unit sold and sometimes very minor and mostly sa exterior and interior parts lang ng car.

Pero kung complicated na ang concerns for a brand new unit like ECU and fuel consumption , I think that is already beyond normal for a new car.

[woods]

Why should I buy a car na alam ko na maraming concerns from the very beggining. Specially if the concern has something to do with fuel efficiency.

GM is probably compensating on the headaches they just gave to their customers kaya nga they would rather give parts for free.

Peace

[OTEP]

AFAIK, all newer Optras are using the updated ECU program (no need to have ECU reflashed).

Fuel consumption is relative. E.g. for me, 7km/L is still acceptable depending on the vehicle. For some, 10km/L is not good enough.

been in that position too. i was praising our chevy van before bec. somehow people here have crucified this particular brand bec. of one lemon thread. and I believe the same thing is being orchestrated with Honda cars now. well, what can I say? people acting as if they're a pack of wolves -> you cant simply reason it out with a crowd-mentality syndrome.

if there is really a lemon here, toyota na yun kasi andami na nagsurface na defective sa D4D.

for the record, I think chevy cars are good. quality-wise and functionality-wise, at par with other leading Japs sya. and I cant blame him for praising his chevy. and value for money pa, coz at a lesser price, you get all the amenities and safety reqs that are only available in top-of-the-line Jap models.

[OTEP]

No car is perfect. All of them are a compromise in one way or another. That's why we purchase vehicles whose imperfections or compromises we can live with.

I guess, chuaed is perfectly fine with whatever compromises the Optra might have. It still meets his needs in a car.

This is a forum. You can always see what other guys have to say about the same thing so you can make your own informed judgement.
