Like what Jut said. Go with the 1.8s variants, the one with safety features. I'm going to assume na magiging family car nyo yan, mas maganda nang may added safety feature.

And wag mo na muna isipin na baka ibenta mo sya in a year or two.

Who knows, maybe you'd fell in love with the Civic FD, to the point na hindi mo na sya ibebenta.

Ang focus mo nalang muna for now is finding a good deal ng 1.8s Civic FD or an Altis 2009-2011 perhaps.

If yan lang sa dalawa talaga yung options mo,
I'd rather go with the Vios if hindi mo ipupush yung budget mo to get the S variant ng Civic.

Or if cash mo bibilhin yung mga options mo.
Why not try considering na dumiretso na sa brand new?
Mirage G4 or the Vios 1.3 J. If yung 300k na pang downpayment mo. Nasa 7k-9k nalang monthly mo nun. Since may balak ka na din naman mag brand new in the near future.
