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.

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?
