Guys, patulong naman please naguguluhan talaga ako anong kukunin, halo-halo din mga suggestions ng kilala ko, baka may madagdag kayong maitutulong sa decision ko since may experience na kayo dito.

Btw, these are my factors na icocompare para sa pagbili ng kotse,

- 23 y/o, single, no kids yet
- more on city driving
- first time driver (learned from driving school) - still noob about cars, this will also be my first car
- I prefer looks rather than size of interior

- Please lets stick to these 3 cars only, no accent, no fiesta, no rio, etc

Please put your votes and suggestions. I would really appreciate your personal experience and suggestions.

we have the same dillema sir. i am torn between mazda 2 1.5 sedan M/T which is P725,000 and honda city 1.3S M/T which is P731,000. we already have a vios 1.3E M/T which is my car and my dad will be given a company car and mazda 2 at city ang choices. 1.5 city is way off the budget, gusto namin manual kaya accent,jazz, are off our list. for me, parang mas prefer ko yun mazda with it's bigger engine displacement. pero ang inaalala ko e yung maintenance at availability ng parts which is mahirap daw sa mazda at ford. please enlighten us mga experts!

hehe. Ano po FC ng Vios mo sa city driving?

**zel.chikot** · April 17th, 2011 10:30 PM

actually nun nagcompute ako sir, mixed highway/city driving with some hataw umabot ng almost 14 km/l siya. matipid talaga. sana city 1.3s matipid din :D

Fuel Consumption = VIOS hands down.

Practicality = VIOS padin because of cheaper pms and parts are very easy to find.

Safety = CITY

Handling = MAZDA 2

Performance = MAZDA 2 because of it's bigger displacement. 1.5L vs 1.3. pero i think hindi ganon kalaki difference.

Exterior Looks and Quaility / Porma o Dating = CITY or MAZDA 2. common kasi sa mata yun vios e. although i own a vios.

Stock Features = CITY

Interior Looks and Quality = CITY

Comfortability = CITY

Maintenance (per PMS) = VIOS

Relaibility = VIOS/CITY

Resale Value = VIOS/CITY

Parts = VIOS

For looks..Mazda 2. Girls will like it as well

But for comfort I like the Vios of the 3. VERY smooth.
Vios is also very good for fuel consumption.
The City is spacious..but like you said you're not interested since you're a bachelor.
The city is also tipid..not bad... i got about 10km/liter city driving, has high resale value... easy to find parts and aftermarket stuff.
Mazda is still new..so it might be alittle difficult to find the "goods' for this car in Banawe..but yeah it's possible.
The Vios is established here. It doesn't have GREAT looks..but if you can customize it, or do something really nice n clean, it'll be a subtle looker.

I agree. I'd go for the Vios too.

I will not consider the City anymore since it's MT.
