1st car: '05 Honda City i-DSI 1.3 m/t or '05 Ford Lynx 1.3 m/t?

[jaxvels]

Newbie here. Help po mga auto guru, i'm currently searching for my first car. 2nd hand lang muna since 380k lang budget. End of this year or Jan next year pa naman target date, pero im studying na my options. After reading several threads and reviews from different sites, i've shortlisted '05 model cars Honda City 1.3 i-DSI and Ford Lynx 1.3, both m/t. Ano po pros and cons of these cars? Fuel consumption, maintenance cost and syempre porma ang priorities ko. Im also considering my life style, of regular provincial trips with my wife and kid, and maybe daily trips to the office in Libis and back home to Calamba. My wife wants the City, but I love the Lynx. Kaya lang balita ko naghihilamos ng gas ang Ford.
Other options are welcome.
Help po, thanks.

You can also try looking at Honda Jazz 1.3L M/T. Styling is very good, sporty look. Fuel consumption is very good as well.

the only fords i truly like are those with a V6, V8, or Duratorq engine... all the rest look blah to me.

i would go for the city. proven, excellent badge, good resale. i'm sure you'll be thinking about upgrading within the next few years when your kids multiply .

driven properly, AUVs are also, for the most part, fuel efficient, given the size of the engines and the mass and people inside it's designed to carry. reasonably comfortable ride din naman. you may want to check out the offerings din.

between the city and lynx 1.3, go for the city. lynx 1.3 is lsi which means no power windows,airbags,foglights etc. kung all stock ito.

pero with your budget why not go for a 2.0 ford lynx rs. ok ang porma and fc is 8-9km/l or better

[SIZE=3]HONDA CITY WHY?

[/SIZE]

• [SIZE=3]Better resale[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=3]Better FC[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=3]Lower maintenance cost[/SIZE]

There`s a downside though:

• Ugly looking exterior
• Small
• Slower than the Lynx.

thanks guys.

So between the city and the lynx, its a decsion between fc and power, resale value and porma.

Any other comments and suggestions are welcome po.

Nakita ko nga lynx rs, wow sa porma. headlights pa lang ok na.
