    Hello everyone,

    I am choosing between the 3 vehicles. I am aware that the city is a class below but i just need opinions from the experts.

    My factors would be:

    A.Fuel consumption
    *does the elantra 1.6 have a different engine as before?

    B. ease of pms

    C. Best bang for the buck
    *im considering the city because it is just 796k. Compared to the other 2

    D. Cabin space. My brother and i are 6'0 tall.

    I have seen the 3 models. Altis has the better space but elantra better exterior?

    I have test driven the city. The cvt really is nice, drives a lot better from the previous version

    Do you know which dealership offers test drives for altis and elantra? I went to hyundai and toyota q ave and sadly, they do not have.

    The wife drives the new altis, it is more fuel efficient than my sister's previous gen altis. it does 9.1 kms/liter vs the former's 8.9/kms liter on mixed driving conditions. what i don't like about toyota though is their costly pms. every 5,000 kms, kelangan na bumalik sa casa, tapos taga pa. my 4th gen crv's PMS is scheduled every 10,000kms. probably the city follows the same.

    Parang ang baba naman ng fuel efficiency rating kung ganyan, di kaya masyadong matigas apak sa gas pedal? How much is PMS? Regular PMS for my 2007 Civic is around 5K pag walang pinapalitan masyado na
    parts. 2X a year lang naman.


    Badabing! Badabong!

    Yes, test drove the sylphy too. It jas the quitest cabin, minimal road and engine noise, nice ride. Only problem is boring to drive and the "daddy" looks. Not my taste.

    But it is indeed a very nice car. Just not my preference

    It is so hard getting a test drive these days. What are your techniques?

    Then why don't you get the Altis so you have a medium size car. Toyota's name is synonymous to practical The 2014 Altis is CVT too and it's spacious. Check the 11th Generation thread and someone posted the dimensions of the Altis. It is longer and wider than the Innova.

    Since you already have an economy car, get the Toyota Corolla Altis.

    Between all three, I'd go with the Altis. However, if you just need a utility car that can seat 5, offers good FC, and bring you from point A to B, the City CVT is quite a good choice for 800k. Though if I had to choose, I'd look for other options. Maybe a Civic FB 1.8S as it offers a good balance between power, weight, space, etc.

    I am leaning towards the altis.

    But, what are the advantages of the elantra over the altis?

    Went to dealership of hyundai and they are offering 80k discount for bank po transaction

    sa Altis you can fold the rear seats, Elantra no fold ...
    mas sporty Elantra,
    both can be taxi I think, but Toyota has more I have seen Altis polis cars :victory::victory:

    Its your call , let us know what you get :drive1:

    I would get the Corolla. The interiors have vastly improve and NVH is way better...
