2003-2006 Honda city idsi 1.3 A/T or 2006-2011 Nissan Sentra GX 1.3 A/T?

Mga idol help naman po...

We are planning to buy a second hand A/T car, and this two are the choices(we are also looking into a Toyota vios, same year model with the honda, kaso medyo mahirap makahanap ng kasya sa budget, puro manual).

What is the best buy in terms of:
1. Fuel consumption -(yung city daw matipid pero sobrang layo ba ng difference with the sentra?)

2. Tranny -(is it true na may issues un cvt ng city?. Mas ok ba tranny ng sentra in long term?)

3. Engine -(we had a 1992 sentra jx M/T back then,2nd hand bought, 15yrs. din samen. No major sakit ng ulo! I would say na matibay talaga...Ganun din kaya yung ganitong Model ng mga sentra sa choices ko?)

4. Availability & prices of parts

Hope to hear from you guys...thanks in advance...

Sirain daw kasi cvt ng honda, tignan mo yung pinalit sa 2008+ new city/jazz hindi na ctv yung mga A/T nila.

Our experience with the 2003-06 City IDSI isn't very fond, although our units were manual transmission, it came to a point when one broke down, expect the others to follow suit a few weeks or months later depending upon the user. It's like a ticking time bomb expecting to explode at a given time.

We haven't tried Nissan units yet, but I hear the gx is a little underpowered compared to its predecessors, since it has a bigger body but a smaller engine displacement. Although, I see some units used as taxis within the metro, then its an indicator that they would be affordable to maintain and fuel efficient.

We are still looking.Medyo naging busy kc kami kaya wala time tumingin.May mga nacheck na din kami na unit pero sablay...

Sama ko na po sa choices yung 2001-2003 Nissan Grandeur.Pasok din kc sa budget & ang gara ng interior...but,ok po ba yung unit na to?

Hope to hear from you guys...TIA
