Kia Picanto vs Honda City

[rai2k8]

Hey tsikoteers,

(coming from this thread [SIZE=1]http://tsikot.yehey.com/forums/showt...=37776&page=10

[SIZE=2]I decided to take my questions in a new thread so as not to hijack the previous one with my questions.)

May balak na kase ako bumili ng sarili kong car and my first choice is kia picanto. then I saw that honda city sells for only 575k (nakalagay sa site, yet to be confirmed tomorrow sa showroom nila) na lang while picanto is around 500k.

Di ko naman babayaran ng cash but I did the math and konti lang talaga difference. so here comes my dilemma. if konti lang difference sa price ng dalawa, it will come down to the other expenses like replacement parts, maintenance, gas mileage, etc.

a lot of people favors honda city (even my bf who's skeptical at first kase sabi nya baka mahirapan ako sa city kase mababa daw un - medyo maliit kase ako ) but then I still have to consider what has to come after I buy the unit. so i need your opinions on this

what do you guys think? TIA

Well, they are both pretty basic cars.

If you don't find the 75K price difference objectionable (which amounts to 15% of the Picanto's price already), then go for the City. It's a bit more refined, roomier, better engine, interior, etc. The maintenance however might cost just a little bit higher.

The Picanto isn't that bad too.

Though at this category (and price range), I'd also look at the Getz (specifically the CRDi variant) and the Rio.

by the way, yung picanto ba eh free na ang chattel mortgage, insurance and LTO registration? Kung free na just take it to consideration sa city, kasi kung hindi pa free sa honda city iyon eh magdadag ka pa ng additional 30 to 40 thousand kaya ang price difference nila ay lalagpas na ng 100thousand plus hindi pa yata power window at power door lock ang city na 575k.

just clarify it from the dealers so that you can get the best deals. ang pagkakaalam ko promo ng kia yung free na ang chattel, insurance and LTO. I just asked about it last december di ko lang sure kung in effect parin ngayon yung promo nila.

I'd rather go to Honda City, more reliable and ma-porma. Its a little bit pricey, but its worth it naman.

I think maporma rin ang picanto. Its just that it has the kia badge, what if it has the H badge, people will change mind i guess.

Palitan ng badge, Kia City to Honda Picanto. Mag iiba cguro ihip ng hangin.

Haha... Identity crisis?

Miss, kainis na man nyang batang yan! Ipasok mo sa garahe palagi at hwag i-park sa gilid ng daan na marami bata nag lalaro. Wawa naman pica mo.

honga. pinaayos ko yung harap namin. napilitan ako magpagawa ng garage with gate. dati kase parking space lang. nakakainis talaga pag nakikita ko yung gasgas. Kaya minsan di ko na lang pinapansin. Imagine wala pa plates may gasgas na. Di ko naman pede pagalitan kase bata.
