What would be the best car with 1.6L displacement?

[Macky]

Cars with 1.6L engine that I could think of:
Hyundai Elantra
Kia Soul
Hyundai Accent
Ford Fiesta
Suzuki SX4
Mazda 2
Toyota Altis
Mini
Hyundai i30
Chevrolet Aveo
BMW 116i

Personally, I like the Ford Fiesta, Toyota Altis and Hyundai Elantra.

What would be the best car with 1.6L displacement?

Best in what way? Flexibility of use? Comfort? Performance? Fuel economy? Value for Money? Resale Value? Aftermarket modifications?

What would be the best car with 1.6L displacement?

The Toyota Corolla Altis.

[cripple_rooster]

Corolla Altis for sure. I also like the Aveo and the BMW 116i but considering general aspects the Corolla has a well-balanced setup and can meet nearly all the requirements of a customer in the 1.6L range.

Baka naman Mazda 3? Mazda 2 up to 1.5L

Better if you state the size and type of car you need and your budget instead of simply saying: "1.6"

There are 1.5 liter cars that are more practical and bigger inside than some 1.6 liter cars, and there are 1.8 liter cars that are more economical than some 1.6 liter cars.

Of Macky's list:

Hyundai Elantra - modern, sophisticated. Good power from the 1.6... not quite sure about economy.

Kia Soul - I like this car in some ways, not in others. Certainly a looker.

Hyundai Accent - 4AT only... better to go for the 1.4 liter version instead if you want economy. Otherwise, well-loaded, powerful. Suspension a bit too soft.

Ford Fiesta - Drives great. Powershift a bit indecisive, but fuel economy is good for the engine size. Very refined.

Suzuki SX4 - Not as good as the Soul. Lots of space, though, and drives nicely.

Mazda 2 - 1.5 liter only. But incredible to drive, and thanks to the tight gearing of the 4AT and the light weight, it's more responsive than the Fiesta and Accent.

Toyota Altis - Great car. Lots of space. Great fuel economy for a 1.6 AT.

Mini - ...terrific car... though I feel that the 6AT and 1.6 are a bit sluggish due to the weight. Oh... and the back seat is torture.

Hyundai i30 - Was a good car. Just not enough toys for the price. new Elantra is better. The 1.6 CRDi is truly economical, but the shifter is rubbery and the equipment underwhelming.

Chevrolet Aveo - No. Just... no. Terrible car. Terrible engine. Wait for the next one. If you really want a Chevy, buy the base model Cruze with the 1.8 MT. It's going to be more economical, and is much much more refined than the Aveo. Or... get the Spark... as it's incredibly economical.

BMW 116i - Not enough power for the weight. Drives like a go-kart... but it's a very, very heavy go-kart. Has the ride comfort of a go-kart, too. And the back seat sucks. At least the refinement and build are excellent.

Niky eh yun Mitsubishi Lancer GLX (Cedia), may ibubuga kaya? For me maporma kasi yun body non ang mura din.

[niky]

There is that... and the Sentra GSX. Kinda old, but still value for money.

It's worth noting, though... that newer subcompacts have as much space as these two. ;)

Nissan Sentra is also a good option. Even the 1.3L looks good.

Hyundai Accent 1.6 GLS Blue A/T

Hyundai Elantra 1.6 GL A/T

Toyota Corolla Altis 1.6V A/T

Dyan sa suggestions ko, Corolla Altis ang best Quite pricey pero ganda features.

[cripple_rooster]

My lola had a Corolla, but hers was a 1.8L. It has a great handling either on city traffic or highway, and very comfortable. I used to drive automatic Corollas, and they were already nice on fuel consumption, then with a manual transmission it's even better...

[htc8p]

altis the best 1.6 right now.

good looks
good speed
good FC
good trunk

bad front space
bad power when 5 ppl (full capacity)

just right quality of interior

pug nose hard to drive

suspension will giveway earlier than honda

[myk384]

The choices would be (in my opinion)
- Toyota Corolla Altis (in 6MT baby!)
- Hyundai Elantra (made it second so we can wait for any hidden problems)
- Hyundai Accent
- Mazda 3 (still good value)
- Mitsubishi Lancer Cedia
- Nissan Sentra GSX (ok but kinda old)

there you have it

[cripple_rooster]

6MT is a good feature to improve the fuel-efficiency on highway traffic, but I still like the comfort of an automatic transmission. But, instead of the outdated 4-speed automatic, would be great if Toyota started to use the CVT already used in the JDM Corolla Axio and the 2.0L Altis into the 1.6L Altis...

[renzo_d10]

Nissan Sentra is also a good option. Even the 1.3L looks good.

Underpowered. Get the 1.6L Sentra, it gives roughly the same economy as the 1.3L does.

You're right. There is no replacement for displacement

[vinj]

In the 1.6L class, the Altis 1.6 6-speed still give a solid, value for money ownership IMO. It doesn't top any contest but seems to score well enough and consistently in all aspects of space, ample power, reliability and comfort for the daily grind.

[cripple_rooster]

Even with automatic transmission the Altis is a good option as far as fuel-efficiency goes. I used to drive one when I was 17 (without a driver license but I did it frequently).
