hyundai elantra 1.6 a/t or honda city 1.5

[Alancer]

ano sa tingin nyo mga guros kung sino mas ok sa 2 tsikot.

[ram_dlsu]

depends on ur priority.

if you're after space then elantra. if you're going to be driving it mostly by yourself or with one or two passengers the City would be fine.

If you after good Fuel Economy, the City tops the elantra.

If you want a more luxurious feel in the cockpit, the City wins it.

The Elantra 1.6 a/t is basically a base model so it doesn't have all the goodies and luxury inside compared to the top of the line City.

It all boils down on which priorities are more important to you.

[weisshorn]

Cabin & cargo trunk space = Elantra
FC = City & Elantra about the same (depending on how heavy is your right foot).
Cockpit = City if you are not to audio/sound system mods other wise elantra if you want to change the head unit.
Looks = depende na lang sa tumitingin (for me my 1.8L elantra looks better inside & out against our city park side by side), it's up to you.

The only "luxury" a City has that you don't get on the base Elantra is a built-in head-unit... which is actually irrelevant in terms of sound quality... speakers are the deciding factor.

[jun_mazda]

I disagree headunit does affect sound quality. Pero if you want a oem look headunit just wait nalang I've seen some in china per0 wait nalang tayo for someone to import it.

[cripple_rooster]

I prefer the more discrete looks of the City.

Mas gusto ko Elantra. Iba talaga ang dating. Kung malayo akala mo midsize sedan eh. Kung kinuha mo puti tapus pinalitan mo ang gulong ng 16" or 17" rims, napaka-upscale na. Mas lalo kung nagpagawa ka ng HID retrofit with DRLs... Yung City din kasi napakadami na sa daan at medyo matagal na rin kaya nakakasawa na. Kung audio system pinag-uusapan, I actually prefer the Elantra's aftermarket unit. Yung sa City parang ang hirap gamitin. Lahat ng functions nagkasama-sama. Kumplikado yan kapag di ka sanay lalo na kapag nagmamaneho ka. And then parang mahirap if you plan to upgrade to an updated head unit say... ten years later.

[Alancer]

bakit po mga sir ano po problema sa h.u ng city?

[Verbl Kint]

The 1.6 Elantra trumps the City in almost all aspects: trimmings, fc, performance, what have you.

but not on resale value.

Ah yes, but now that there are still no 2nd hand units we still do not know that. Just look at the resale value of the Accent CRDi!

Pati ba sa FC mas ok yung Elantra 1.6 sa City 1.5?

I'd pick the Elantra just because it looks hot! slap on some aero parts, lowering springs and mags and watch at how many people would do a double take. Don't bother with performance mods, instead, wait for a surplus Sonata 2.0T engine and pray that it fits. Of course, that just my personal view. peace!

But that's only because it's diesel. But that said, all Hyundai diesels have pretty good resale.

You're arguing in favor of cheap, multi-application standardized manufacturer head-units versus cheap aftermarket head-units. It's not like built-in units on cars in this price range are BOSE systems with hidden amplifiers and eight speakers built in.

Driving the Elantra 1.8 and 1.6 back to back, most of us in the test group last year preferred the sound quality of the 1DIN aftermarket unit in the 1.6. The 1.8 is much, much better overall, but not in terms of sound system quality.

Heck... going between brands... the Cruze head-unit is better looking than the Focus standard Ford radio system, and it's touchscreen, to boot! Doesn't change the fact that the Focus has better speakers and speaker placement, giving it more solid sound reproduction, crisper mid-range and stronger bass. Hell... the Focus I just drove had a better sound system than my CR-V! The CR-V matches it for quality and the distortion-free sound level it can attain, but no matter how we tweak it, I couldn't get it to match the crispness in the mid- and upper ranges.

Stock built-in head units look good, but you can always buy something better outside. And if your car comes with an aftermarket 1DIN head-unit, at the very least, you can use it as a trade-in when you buy that touch-screen head-unit at Banawe.

Semi OT:

If you had that much money to look for a 2.0T engine, you should be buying a Genesis Coupe at the very least.

[regaia]

Haha right! I'm just throwing out a few ideas for the TS to consider hehe Pick the Elantra! save fuel while looking good!

peace!

May be looking for a 4/5 door vehicle. The GC can seat 4 comfortably even for long drives, as long as those in the back seat are not taller than 5'6''. Otherwise there's a need to slouch due to the roof rake. The knee and leg room is excellent as long as the one's seated in front are not taller than 6'. The only set back is that the front passenger has to go down so the passengers at the back can alight.

Masyado na yatang down the road iyan, bro... Kabibili mo pa lang, iniisip mo na kaagad ang resale value... And besides, sentiments of the buying public can change over time... Don't get me wrong, I own a Hyundai, Honda, Toyota and Nissan....Run of the mills but they serve me well

I guess the guiding point in buying a vehicle should be what it offers you now, as you're going to be the direct beneficiary of it.
