    Di pa ako nakaka-drive ng 1.3L City, pero yung 1.5E nasubukan ko na. Few points: Mabilis, maganda ang response ng transmission. Overall, worth the buck naman. Nung paakyat ako ng Tagaytay, naka-sabay ako ng 1.3L City, hindi ko lang sure kung ano transmission niya. Pero based on my observation, hindi hirap yung makina niya pag babanat sa uphill. Hence, siguro ok naman ang performance ng 1.3L. Yung bilis naman ng 1.3 City, ok lang.

    Dun sa Fiesta, i've heard and read maganda ang performance niya. Responsive transmission and handles quite well.

    Sa toss up na ito, if you don't really need space -- since Fiesta doesn't offer this -- then get the Fiesta. Ergo, the City will be your best bet.

    The Refreshed City looks good. I have driven the Pre-facelifted City and it does drive and handle well. Prob ko lang with Honda is the lack of Financing or Promotions. The City at 1.3 engine would be around the same price as a 1.6 Ford Fiesta Trend. Fuel Economy, I think lamang unti ung City by probably 1-2 Kilometers per liter due to the smaller engine. Space goes to the City. Though Financing, Promotions and Value goes to Ford Fiesta. Though mas Exciting tingnan ung Fiesta hatch. So it really depends on your prioritizes and what you plan to do with your Car.

    I find the City 1.3S to be rather overpriced. And between this one and the Fiesta, the Fiesta would definitely have the upper hand in terms of performance. But then if you value fuel economy and space, then you're left with the City.

    Since you are in this price bracket already, I'd suggest you consider the top of the line Accent 1.6GLS Blue as well. This way you get the extra performance as well as good interior space.
