Honda City 1.3 or Chevrolet Optra?

[Puchok]

I'm planning to buy a car this October, which is better Honda City 1.3 or Chevrolet Optra? can you help me map out the pros and cons.

I prefer HOnda City over Vios ..I jus want to know the Honda City 1.3 compare with Chevrolet Optra 1.6.

Saan Made ang Chevrolet Optra 1.6?

Thanks in advance.

Optras are made at the GM-DAT plant in South Korea. Available in Daewoo, Suzuki, and Chevy flavors. hehehe.

The Optra is in the class above the City. It has a bigger engine (more power and more consumption) and is larger overall than the Honda.

Take your pick. I usually prefer the bigger vehicle.

IMO, if it's true that the gas guzzling issues are now solved with the reprogrammed ECUs, then i think the Optra 1.6L makes a good choice.

-bigger
-more features (1.6LS)
-more powerful engine

just swallow the resale. ;)

You might want to think twice.

Optra is supposedly a gas guzzler but I really don't know since I never owned one.

In the same price range you could get a Suzuki APV 8-seater, Php 560k. Or you could wait for the Toyota Avanza, coming soon...

my friend is trying to gt rid of his Chevrolet Optra. he wants to change it to Vios or maybe City. ang lakas daw uminom ng gasolina compared to his Revo Diesel.

That's a first generation issue. He should have it brought to Chevrolet North Edsa first for evaluation before he sells it. Although some owners say there is no difference after the programming, those who are worst hit by the guzzling issue often see radical improvements.

Kawawa siya sa resale kung bigla nalang ibenta.

And of course, any gasoline car will cost more to fuel up than a diesel AUV. :lol:

The Optra has more elbow room, but the City is very roomy for four passengers. Kawawa lang yung middle passenger sa back seat sa City. And the City has a very large and useful trunk.

since korean naman yan optra mukang mas ok kaysa city kasi mas malaki.

the honda city is a good choice also bec. it's a honda.

If you value fuel economy, don't get the Optra. get a honda city CVT instead.
sobra talaga gas guzzler ang optra. I drive one everyday. If i can only sell it, I would. Even with the reporgraming of the ECU, ganun din. I couldn't see a difference. The Honda city 1.3 I-DSi CVT is very fuel efficient but space may be a bit smaller compared to the Optra.

[mfo]

Get the Optra It's bigger. hehee

[finchy18]

sir grabe gas guzzler ang optra nyan...

go city or Vios

[Mamar]

optra for me kasi i own one! hehehe...
for looks optra talaga over city! no offense sa mga owner ng city pero hinde ko maiintindihan ang itsura ng city am pangit parang hide gawa ng honda ehh!

ride comfort naman halos pareho lang silang comfortable

gas consumption naman syempre lamang ang city kasi 1.3 at mas maliit ang kaha! pero ok din naman ang optra i get about 9km/l city driving ang 16km/l sa highway kahit naka 18" na rims ako rh syempre pag binalik ko sa stock na 15" mast tataas pa un!

overall optra talaga for me kasi halos 50k lang at difference nila(not sure) completo na optra with abs and airbag sa city naman wala sa 1.5 lang meron nun!

i think chevrolet optra is built at General Motor's (GM) factory in Rayong, Thailand...

Optra is engineered in Korea by Daewoo, which GM bought six years ago...

i'm wondering why always consider resale value of a car... are you going into buy and sell business? regardless of any type of vehicle you bought, rest assured once the car rolled outside the dealership expect a depreciation of 30% to 50%...

if you want to invest don't buy a car, buy a property instead...

i'm just voicing out my opinion... okay

all cars are gas guzzler regardless if its an optra or not... right now the new optra is more fuel efficient, and before you said anything bad against the car try to own one and experience it yourself...

with regards to what you mentioned Suzuki APV or Toyota Avanza, hello! they're not in the same category... kotse hanap ng tao hindi AUV...

again just voicing out my opinion... okay

hanep naman ng comparison mo... may optra at adventure ako pero hindi ko sila ipagkumpara dahil hindi pareho ang engine displacement, iyun types ng fuel na ginagamit nila etc...

how can you possibly compare with those two... kung matakaw ang gasolina dalhin sa chevy service center, at pa reprogram ecu niya...

kung hindi makontento eh pakabit ng autogas... malamang mas mura ang halaga ng lpg kaysa diesel...

again and again just voicing out my opinion... okay

its made in thailand, same with honda... doon din galing...
try doing a little research...

chuaed kalma lang, inum muna ng tubig! hehehe....

[kmo]

just opt for other models .. like a civic perhaps the base 1.8 is kinda cheap

actually it's simple economics lang naman. a used vehicle with higher resale value will yield lower additional investment on a new car.
