Mas ok ang Civic, pero try mo baka kaya na 1.8S MT para may airbags. Ang sarap i-drive ng FD lalo pag long drives. Medyo mababaw lang ang clutch pero masasanay ka rin.

Ang city, ayos lang pero for the price, di na sya practical. Ang liit nyan e.

Civic is definitely better. Both in city and highway driving.

You can maybe opt for the A/T since the 1.5E City has an A/T transmission too.

FC -> City 8km/l ;; Mixed 11km/l ( Same vehicle, 1.8V Civic M/T )

The seats of the civic is quite hard. It keeps you uncomfortable at long drives, but don't worry, its tolerable... trust me.

The farthest area ive gone to was just manila-alaminos-sta. rosa-manila

Right now, clocked 25k in it no problems encountered whatsoever

The color white is great and so does the bronze. But the silver is the easiest to maintain ( tested ;) )

masyadong malaki na po kasi ang difference ng 1.8s(almost 100k).. kaya ang choices ko lang is yung 1.8v m/t.. kung aabot kami ng 900k i tink i'll go with the mitsubishi lancer ex nlng siguro.. ano po sa tingin nyo mga sir?

yung current na civic, Civic FD ang tawag dun. Make sure you get the facelifted version.

If you demand the automatic, get the City. Consider the Jazz too.

If you need the bigger car, Civic for sure.

Ok sana yung Lancer EX pero the only ones I'd consider are the GT and the GTA.

I'd take the 1.8S MT though. 908k vs 858k of the 1.8V.
60k diff for the FF:
+Foglamps
+Airbags
+16" Rims

Especially if you intend to keep the car for a long time, I think the "S" variant is a bit more worth it. Wait a few months and save up. You won't regret it.

Slightly OT: Only gripe ko sa Lancer EX GLX/S is that while it's really a head-turner, 'di bagay yung 16" Rims and the inside sucks (lalo yung wood grain) hehe. I don't mind the insides of the GT/A though.
