wow meron nabang optra ngaun for 360k??
well for me i would go with the civic kasi mas ma tipid ito sa gas at mas matulin ang civic sa optra kasi mabibitn ka sa power eh At syempre mas gwapo ang civic at napakadaling pormahan dahil sa dami ng aftermarket parts nito!

Medyo may problema ata yung chevy kaya binabargain nya, pero good inputs although mas bago yung chevy, mas naganda dating ng VTI.

kung gas comsumption naman problem nung optra eh baka hinde pa lang nakapag pareprogram nang ecu ung may ari kasi ganun din ung optra ko dati as in 5km/l nalang tas after nung nakapag pa reprogram nako ng ecu from chevy pasig for free ngaun umaabot nako ng mga 8-9km/l ehh!

pero for me i would still go for civic because of parts availability hinde ko kasi sure kung may mabibilang ng parts sa labas ng optra ehh unlike civic kahit sang sulok ng banawe ehh makakakuha ka ng pyesa ng civic in-case na magkaproblema ka!

One of the Optra's advantages is its added "basic" safety features that the Civic VTi lacks, like a driver's airbag, ABS, 4-wheel disc barkes, and Five 3-point seatbelts.

civic wins in Fuel economy, availability of parts, resale value
optra wins in in saftey equipment

i would still get the civic. even if i drive an Optra everyday.

go for the civic. pag pre-owned cars, parts availability and ease of maintenance are main considerations.

Don't ask me... lam mo na sagot ko... hehe joke. :D

Seriously if you're for power,speed,fuel economy, and parts as mentioned by ale828, go for the civic.

Pero kung safety features naman, Optra... plus wag mo ng i-take into consideration na maganda ang Optra dahil may 5-disc changer ang HU, sasakit lang ulo mo kakadala sa casa para ipagawa. Hehe.. Saka kung gusto mo easy driving kahit manual, oks din Optra considering na 40km/hr pa lang eh pwede mo ng i-5th gear. Guess sa tuning ng engine un.

Overall, talo ang Optra lalo na't we're talking about pre-owned cars here (sensya na mahal, pero ito ang katotohanan :D). Especially on this part:

i would still go for civic because of parts availability hinde ko kasi sure kung may mabibilhang parts sa labas ng casa ang optra ehh unlike civic kahit sang sulok ng banawe ehh makakakuha ka ng pyesa ng civic in-case na magkaproblema ka!

Sir Mamar, pahirapan talagang makahanap ng spare parts ng Optra labas ng casa. Except na lang sa mga lowering springs at paporma ekek. Kung makahanap ka man, halos presyong casa din ang price unless surplus or direct from countries na unang nagproduce ng Nubira/Forenza. Although it's odd na sa dami na ng Optras sa daan (not to mention some police units and a taxi I saw are Optras) eh wala pa rin gaanong adjustments sa supply ng parts nya. Just my .02

hanep, 360t ang optra... tawaran mo ng 10t at bilhin mo na... mura na iyan modelo pa tsikot mo...

dami thread ng civic at optra, in fairness naman lahat may kani-kanilang problema, interms of unit and the service dealership...

ikaw na bahala timbangin mo kung alin doon magugustohan mo tutal pera mo naman iyan pambili ng tsikot...

whag mo kami sisihin dito kung sakali hindi ka nakontento sa binili mo sasakyan...

Optra. More safety features.

Then spend 30k more on an LPG kit.
