Honda City 1.5 ENC AT vs 1.6 Accent HB CRDi AT vs Lancer 1.6 EX MX AT

[weisshorn]

Nag test drive ako sir ng Elantra. I didn't like the feel when I step on the gas/brake. It was too stiff. I am pretty sure adjustment lang iyon. Also another thing, hindi naman ako kalakihang tao but i feel like the Elantra is eating me up. Too small head room for me. I am coming from an SUV moving to a subcompact. The Accent didn't feel like the Elantra in terms of space. I find it more spacious than the Elantra. I haven't tried the other two yet. But i'll find that out during the weekend.

you find the head room of the elantra small but you included honda city in your choice.. for me the elantra & city head room is about the same. parehas na mauuntog ulo ko kung nagmamadali sa pag pasok sa driver side.. parehas sa yo di ako kalakihan.. pero mas spacious ng di hamak ang elantra than the city, the same i can say with the trunk. mas like ko idrive ang elantra than the city especially with regards to power, brake bite & seating comfort for the driver. i know because we have elantra 1.8 gls & honda city 1.5e.. personal opinion ko lang naman ito po..

Hi sir, I haven't test driven a city yet. I was a back passenger before and I didn't feel its smallness if meron man. I didn't include Elantra in the choices since it's not part of the segment (I think) Ang akin lang kasi, if i'm going to buy a car, kukunin ko na yung high end. I didn't include the Elantra because it is out of my budget. Hope you understand sir kung bakit ang choices eh yang tatlo lang.

Hmm mukhang hindi pareho ang actual unit dun sa nasa site ng hondaphil. EL lang ang leather pala. ENC is 60:40 split + VSA + Mags and yung small changes sa front and back.

The extra airconvents sa likod wala daw yun. Hmm i need to check actual unit muna. Umulan kasi today di ko na test drive )

ganto din dating choices ko before. pero I was choosing between city or lancer ex. I was using 2000 crv.


at the end of the day I went for lancer glx a/t over city 1.3 a/t. I know it's not in the same segment but the net price only had a difference of around 30k (insurance, lto, unit price after discounts). main reason is handling and it's a bigger car overall... but looks did help to tip the scale.

Sa mga choices na yan, wala na akong pinili. Nag Elantra 1.8 GLS na lang ako :D I think the < 100k is negligible given all the bells and whistles that the Elantra has.

Hey, ngayon ko lang napansin etong thread na sinimulan mo.

Ayos ah, sa mga original choices mo, wala kang napili hehehe!

Ako din nga eh, there was a time na muntik na ako mag-divert sa original 3 choices ko of compact sedans... kasi tuwing nasa Honda showroom ako (Otis & Global City), napapatingin ako sa CRV hehehe! But I'm going to resist and not going to divert from the compact sedans hehe!

Hi sir! Haha oo nga wala ako napili sa original list ko.

Binigay sa akin kasi yung Elantra 1.8 at a very convincing price.

yung sa MX binibigay sa akin around 899k na lang yata. But still went for the Elantra. Naconvince ako sa mga binigay na freebies and discount

Sir just want to ask what freebies and discount was given to made you sway to purchase the Elantra. Congrats on your purchase btw. You may pm me if you're not comfortable sharing it here

congrats on your new purchase.

Thank you my good sir. I have no regrets. Being the TS, and not picking on all 3, I think we have all helped future buyers just in case they pick from the 3 choices stated on the topic!

12800 lang talaga m0nthly for 4 years?

Di ako nabigyan ng ganitong quote ah. I was quoted for a Lancer MX

Less 21K lang. at walang ipad promo )

ahh sorry for the typo error. The quote was for 60 months for the GLX M/T variant. As for the MX, the discount being offered is 65k + a mini ipad. And I do feel that you can still haggle for a free 3 years LTO reg. Chattel at Insurance n lng ang prob. But still waiting for the Accent HB A/T (to test drive - but I doubt it if they'll allow) and Mitsu on the other hand is always willing.

Still have 22 days to make a decision (unless maextend pa promo ng Mitsu)
