2011 Honda City 1.5E or 2011 Toyota Altis 1.6G m/t

Good day sirs! Hingi lang po sana akong advice. Having a problem choosing between these two cars. Sold na po sana kami with the City 1.5 but binigyan kami ng discount on the Altis so halos mag ka-price na sila.

What I like about the City is the FC, malaki ba difference nila in terms of FC?

Thanks in advance mga sirs!

Sir, for fuel efficiency, the Altis G is it. It has a 6 speed MT, more gears, more efficient.

Try to compare the passenger space in both cars.

Off the top of my head,

City
+2 Airbags vs the Altis' 1
+Disc/Disc brakes vs the Disc/Drum of the altis
+larger trunk (moot point, unless you carry dead bodies often)
+convenience of an automatic if you'd prefer one (plus manual override via paddle shifters)

Altis
+More exterior space (not sure if this translates into more passenger space)
+6 M/T = fuel savings, but may be negated due to the displacement difference
+Soft ride

I'll buy the Altis:

Bigger Size, Dual-VVT-i, 6 Speed M/T, better ride quality, cheaper maintenance and better resale value

bro,

city is ok but a sub compact car while the altis is a full size sedan.

resale...i think both has a good value
safety you must check (if this is part of you selection)
price (depends on your budget)
FC...i think if this is a concern try to get 1.3l engine or lower. i dnt think 1.5(cty) and 1.6(altis) has big difference in terms of FC.

even if you are driving a 1.3l but always pedal to metal malakas consumption mo. kung nasa stop and go ka or traffic ang daily route mo smaller engine is better if you want a good FC.

also there's a difference between A/T and M/T

An Altis is NOT a full sized sedan. A full size sedan is like a Toyota Avalon in the US or the Toyota Crown here in Asia. The Altis is a COMPACT CAR.

And to answer the question, I would get the Corolla over the City if the price is nearly identical...
