High End 1.5LI VS Base 1.6Li Sedan

[carlocaraddict]

1.6 liter cars? either Civic or Altis ako

[cardo]

thanks guys!

pero di kakayanin ng budget ko ang MZ3, Altis at Civic :D esp the Mz3. Di pa nagbibigay ng discount ang mazda. I guess bec they are selling like hotcakes and its relatively new...

Actually kaya nabanggit ko yun Lancer its because it almost priced as a 1.5li City and Vios, and all are A/T's. Siguro mga 20 - 30k lang ang difference nila. Di ko na consider ang Optra coz I've read some horror stories about it. The ford lynx is nice, but not as nice as the lancer.

Mazdamazda,

i checked the brochure ng lynx... yun Front and stabilizer Fixed to Damper pala ang wala sa GSI na meron sa GHIA.

[quiksie]

mag lancer mx ka na yun ang may indash tv ganda! Yun features niya parang rs ng lynx i think since its an mx

the toyota vios 1.5G whether manual or auto has some saftey features already.

nope... it doesn't have airbags or abs.

the lancer on the other hand has a driver's side airbag.

meron na mazdamazda, i just saw the upgraded Vios 1.5G this month. Driver's airbag meron.

my bad... good move by toyota. sana lahat ng units may airbags na.

[wilcats]

pare if i were you, kung value for money din noh, 1.5vtec city nlg or 1.5g vios.
kumpleto nato mga toh, ang Hp nito 110 & 107 respectively.. i think thats good enuf to compete with the 1.6s... un 1.6 na lancer and lynx na base model, halos ganun din hp rating nya eh. less features pa unlike the city and vios... kaw. its your choice parin nman.

[cardo]

meron na ABS(EBD) at airbag pero driver side lang yun vios... i think sa city optional pa... abot na ng 700k yun city with abs and srs.

[ozcity]

City 1.5V M/T = 659T with ABS/dual SRS,4wheeldisc,ULT

Vios 1.5G M/T = 648T with ABS/SRS(driverside only)

well, here my opinion. sir, it depends on your necessity. will you use it as a daily ride to office? or for the family? if the former, get 1.5L variant, fuel-efficient though sacrifice some space. 1.6L variant, is a lot romier definitely, but it wasn't as efficient as the 1.5L.

assuming that you have arrived to a decision, always get the vehicle with standard safety features such as dual srs/ abs+ebd, good suspension, and the most hp and torque in the class.

i agree with mazdamazda, safety features (abs, airbags) should be standard option.

pare go for the mz3 hatch maganda ang hatak at cornering!!

hey guys!

wow! ayos pala ang honda city! well, I test drove it and very responsive sya for 1.3li lang. I was also amazed byt the CVT! I was shifting up and down onthe steering wheel like Schumacher! hehehe... and it was way roomier than the vios. kahit sa likod an luwag! Totally better than the vios IMO. and the ULT seats ang galeng!

natest drive ko rin yun mz3 1.6li. well, i was'nt as impressed and it didnt stir my soul when I first glanced at it. talagang attractive lang sya. wala pang + and - ng gears sa steering buti pa city hehehe. it was'nt as roomy as I thought it to be. and the loooonnngggg waiting list... sana, mag stock na sila. alam naman nila na dami customers... atchaka walang price discount

Cardo question, nakadrive ka na ba ng Vios?

was able to drive also the City 1.3 CVT at the fort last summer. Yes, its responsive. The steermatic is unique. IMO, bitin pa rin ang power ng City. Though the plus in the Honda City is the ULT. For my height ok naman pareho ang City and Vios. Together with MazdaMazda, i'd pick the Jazz over the City. To top it all, i'd pick also the Vios.

[mazdamazda]

well... ok ang honda city (if you like its ipis inspired design). i've driven it in tagaytay and the 1.3L engine is surprisingly responsive - shado lang light ang steering.

though mas ok ang honda jazz IMO.

[ian_rex]

mazda2, ok lang yun light ang steering. manipis kasi ang tires. saka lightweight subcompact yan, so it is biased on maneuverability. it is meant for city driving.

[marv0083]

imho mas oks yung traditional na gear box sa baba compared to steering wheel kasi paano pag inikot mo yung steering wheel di hirap mag shift?? compared sa lancer and mz3 na traditional

[cardo]

yup, nakatest na ako ng vios 1.5g a/t ... although very positive naman yun impression ng car(i liked the digital center meter cluster) masmaluwag overall(interior wise) ang city sa vios. its what captured my heart(naks)... importante kase sa kin ang space. and i really liked the +/- on the steering wheel coz i usually drive traditional 2/3 and 9/10 o' clock hand positions. i think both had good engines and build. plus the backseats of the vios did'nt fold compared sa ULT seats ng city. exterior design-wise .. yup! I like the space age techi ipis design hehehe. well.. the vios looks more traditional and the city i think is more daring(love it or hate it).

sa mazda naman... it was really a looker!!! first time i saw it on the road i was drooling! but when I had a test drive and sat inside and the agent started to explain and point out everything, parang na-cheapan ako sa interior nya. well, it must be me coz the radio really was below par. it occupied the whole dash and super simple lang yun features nya... and the plastic materials did'nt warm up to me. the space inside was small too... although the steering was'nt a light as the rav, the cornering was good! nothing really surprised me on the sportiness side(i think bec i was already driving a rav) but the biggest draw back was when the agent told me that 2months daw ang waiting list. feb or march pa daw and he could'nt even verify with the plant kung kelan specific date. tas pang 40th pa ako sa waiting list...

anyway... i know i'll get flamed for this one :D pero we decided on the d-max(4x2) hehe . totally odd-ball! i know what you gonna say... "kala ko 1.5 or 1.6 li" hehehe

given na pickup mataas sya and mas suited sa rocky road manila hiways compared sa kotse. its a diesel so its very economical sa gas. it's got a bed so no worries about cargo! matagtag vs a car but its a compromise... i think it was more practical for us to get the pickup. the mz3 had sportiness on it but there was nothing new vs the rav(feeling ko lang) and another 2li would kill my savings on gas :D

well, thanks guys! i never thought aabot ng 4 pages yun thread ko! salamas to all that replied ang gave thir thoughts!!!!

[mazdamazda]

may parusa jan! test drive! :bwahaha:

congrats on your upcoming ride!

[ozcity]
