It's good if it's manual. Efficient, doesn't look bad at all and it's pretty spacious.

But if it's automatic, forget about it. You wouldn't want to buy the problems of others.

^ cvt yan diba?

I recommend if you buy in a Honda City in manual transmission. Honda CVTs installed in 2004-2007 Honda Jazz and Honda City are believed to be faulty and have a tendency to have a transmission failure. Transmission replacement will cost you to a whopping 300k in Honda dealerships.

The only benefit of having a CVT is the fuel effiency but when it is not properly programmed and reset,the fuel consumption will intensely decrease as if you are driving a V6 midsize car.

Why not try 03-05 Toyota Vios or 04-05 Honda Civic

Market Value for this car is priced between 370k-400k

Hi mga masters,

May nakita po akong Honda City 2008 idsi M/T 36k+++ lang po yung ODO priced at P340,000, best buy na po ba eto? Base model lang po sya pero body color na ung side mirror and ung door handle.

Ano po ba ang amoy sa LOOB ng car na na-ONDOY?

Give me checkpoints naman po para hindi maging sakit ng ulo ko yung bibilin ko. Please sirs? Thanks so much!

CVT doesn't match so well with the 1.3 i-DSI as it did with the 1.5 VTEC, feels quite underpowered in hilly terrain and highway traffic, like passing by another vehicle or entering an intersection while a quick throttle response is also safer... At least with the manual you can get a more accurate gear selection. But the i-DSI is not a bad engine at all...

Hi Bro!

ask ko lang kung nakabili ka na? any comments sa nabili mo? I was planning to buy the exactly the same car... and AT din sana ang bibilhin ko... though nakita ko ang dami nagkakaproblema sa AT ng City 07-08

Mga tsikoters may mapapayo ba kayo? nasa 400k max lang kasi ang budget ko... ok lang sakin magmanual kaso gagamitin din kasi ng mom ko..

thanks!

You won't go wrong with a Honda City iDSI M/T. 10-12km/l city driving, up to 16km/l for highway driving (still, depends on your driving). Very spacious.

So your telling me na AT city is a NO NO? either go for City Manual or buy other brand? Sobrang natatakot ako sa CVT problem eh..
May masusuggest ba kau na AT transmission na car na wala sakit sa ulo? Vios daw is very convenient at low maintenance pa?

I own a 2006 city.. wala naman ako problema pa... changed the flywheel which costs 18k sa casa... marami nga lang nagsasabi na ibenta ko na.. sabi naman ni mel casaba, alalay lang daw sa atf change yearly para sigurado...

Bro, nabili ko na ung honda city idsi. 2008 model. Okay na okay naman sya. Manual ung kinuha ko. So far pinalamataas kong nakuhang fc is 13.68kpl pnakamababa eh 10.4kpl nung mga unang linggo skn nung car kc bagong driver lng so ndi pa ko masyado nag ha high gear. Ds week mag compute ult ako fc. Balitaan kta. Bilib ako sa city. Napaka tpid. Idk about cvt. pero i recommend manual idsi. Panalo ka dto.

Problem lng dun sa nabili ko eh since base model sya. Aftermarket lng ung central lock and alarm system. Sira ata ung actuator sa driver side. Kc ndi nagla lock pero nag aalarm nmn. So sinususi ko nlng. Tpos pindot alarm. Pra pg my nagbukas kotse gang, aalarm sya. Hehehe. Paaus ko nlng ung actuator. So far, ndi p nia ko bninigo. Mag 1 month n skn ung auto. Satisfied!!!

Sa akin 2008 IDSI M/T model, masasabi ko lang matipid sa gas. ang maintenance naman, every 1 year palit ako ng 8 sparkplugs tsaka alaga ko sa change oil lang ginagawa ko. yan lang madalas na ginagawa sa kotse ko, tapos yung iba mga minor problem pa lang!
