February 7th, 2010 10:12 AM #1Hi, I am new here and dont have any idea if I posted on the right forum. (mods kindly move my post if this is the wrong forum).
Anyway, I have been thinking of buying used car. budget is 140-150k, though I have seen decent 130k cars within my preference. That being said true budget is 130-150k. Need help in deciding to have nissan sup saloon s3 or civic esi. which is the best bang for the buck? I would really appreciate if you could tell me the pros and cons guys.

Whatever car is compatible with e-10. If it`s both, i`ll go for the Civic Esi.

February 7th, 2010 12:15 PM #3says on the article i read all nissans post 1995 are all e10 compatible. not sure with the civic though , i think it depends on the year of production which i have to investigate pala. anyway im new in this car talks, educate about ups and downs of e10.
..and nga pala, in terms of reliability in general which one would you prefer? honda still?

The parts of both are quite plentiful in the market already. So looking for one wont be that much of a problem. Parts costs ? The nissan I think is lower than the honda.
E-10 blended gasoline. This, is applicable for FUEL-INJECTED ENGINES only. By August of this year, all gasoline stations will have all their fuels blended with ethanol already. To be honest, today, it's quite a challenge already for you to find a pure gasoline.
I myself owns a carb-type vehicle ( ae101 corolla ) . Frankly, I`m not a risk-taker person. As much as possible I would not want to fill my corolla up with ethanol blended gasoline ... thankfully, Flying V still has the pure ones. Up to when ? I don't know.
Some are lucky enough though. They fill their carb powered vehicle with ethanol blended gasolines without experiencing any problems. Some, are unlucky ... with their first fill, symptoms are already experienced.
One things for sure. Soon enough, I have to bid my goodbyes with our current vehicle.
Bottomline :: If you don't want to bid your goodbyes to your vehicle that you will purchase soon. Get the right one. The fuel-injected one.

Both the B13 Sentra with its GA16DNE engine and the EG Civic ESi with its PH16/D16Z6 are fuel-injected. I have read, however, that even if it's fuel-injected, it may not be E10 compatible.
Anyway, E10 concerns aside, I'd still prefer the EG Civic. Though the B13 Super Saloon was feature-packed, in today's standards the two are almost identically bare compared to current sedans. The Civic just has more appeal to me. If you plan to start modding though, both of them have lots of aftermarket performance parts, with SR20DEs and B16As quite common.

February 7th, 2010 10:54 PM #6Sir pardon me lang, Series 3 daw, it means B14, and the B13's engine aka ECCS is GA16DE, DNE yung kay B14.
As for the topic, I'd choose which is newer of the 2. Quality wise both are pretty good. But hey check the ESi nga pala yung sakit nila na rusts on the roof!! Lagi yan!
