2011 Honda City 1.3S MT - URGENT HELP

[flor05784]

[SIZE=3]Hi All Tsikoteers. I am new here. This week, I am planning to buy Honda City 1.3 S MT, habanero red.
I need your tips suggestions on below concerns:
1. My dealer is in Sta Rosa Laguna, and that I really don't know which is better whether I'll pick up the unit in Laguna or have it delivered at home. Her package is actually great, free LTO, free TPL, free rust-proof, full-tank, basic freebies, tint, hydro-paint, doorvisor, back-door sensor, car cover, etc - the above mentioned made me decide to consider this dealer.
2. How would I check if the unit I will be purchasing is the 2011 model?
3. What is the best Insurance company I should get, what is best to me is low-cost with with quality service. BPI-MS is offering me 23k with AOG coverage.
4. How fuel-efficient 2011 Honda City 1.3 S MT is?

Thanks in advance po![/SIZE]

for the same price you can buy the 2011 hyundai accent
i was in your shoes before so dont buy the city
get the hyundai accent because:

* it is a much solid car with german engineered styling, frame and pillars
and not tin can sardine frame definitely you will be much safer in the accent
* styling the accent is definitely ***ier
* if you want solid orocan sidings rubbing your arms go with the city hehe
* the accent guage is much cooler so if you want to get irritated looking at your red amber guage buy the city hehe
* accent is in automatic transmission
* it is a 2011 model as in mainit init pa hindi ilan taon na umiikot sa daan

if you want a car na hindi super garapal na tinipid and you get more value for your money get the accent!

etc etc

paki tignan nalang yun thread ng 2011 accent just arrived

pag city binili mo para ka lang nagpaloko sa isang tinipid na produkto hehe

OMG, really?

If you're really hell bent on the Honda, its not bad. A lot of people actually buy it for the brand name alone.

The Accent is worth a look and considering that I also use a 1997 model Korean van, quality isn't that far off from the 'branded' ones.

1. If you trust your dealer, it's ok to have it delivered.
2. The date of manufacture will usually be stamped on the seatbelts and on other models, somewhere in the engine compartment. Don't be surprised if the date is a month or two ago or more already. They started making the 2011 models before 2010 ended. What's more important is the car has not been used yet and has been stored properly while awaiting sale. Some kilometers on the odo is also considered normal if the vehicle was road tested during quality control. Besides, they will drive it around the plant also to the parking area and to the loading/delivery area.
3. No idea on this one.
4. No idea on this one also.

Thanks Otep for the information. Nowadays, we should be self-reliant and that don't trust anybody especially when it comes to matters where money is involved. I just wanted to be very skeptic with the purchase that I am pursuing soon.

Your comment in my #2 concern helps a lot.

God bless.

*Istan - thanks. But my plan for now is just have my first baby ever, who knows I'll have it traded-in 5 years from now?

Any comments on my 1st to 4th concerns?

+1 on Pasaway.
Although, if u want to sell the car in 3 - 5 years. more value yun City.
If u use the car 5 - 10 years, get the Accent

hello po.....

1. you can m ake a good bargain if you compare with other dealer / brand...they will give you the same (if not almost)

2.you can ask them to have a comparisson on the 2010 and 2011 model if you are not familar with the changes.

3. it depends on your dealer if they will allow you t get outside insurance other than their in-house. insurance company have "almost" the same attitude when apply for a claim. better you know your insurance agent to help you facilitate any (if there's any) claim/s.

4. dont get fooled by the 1.3 engine as fue efficient. hyundai i10, getz or kia picanto can give you fuel efficient (1.1l engine).

IMHO, it all depends on what you want for your investment. Toyota and Honda has high resale value. but if you want to consider the ride, safety, handling, etc. i will go for ford fiesta. for looks and and ride i will go for accent (PMS and parts are cheaper for hyundai).

if you are looing for afuel efficient car, get the accent crdi (only very limited, almost gone in the market), it runs 23km/L at diesel pa

the choice is yous...goodluck.
