Here's a little article from a magazine i subscribe from:

it might not be comparing fiesta and city, but it will give you some idea how other people think about the car you are considering, especially sa labas ng pinas.

good luck on your purchase.

After getting this info, medyo di na ako kinakabahan sa parts ng fiesta, di naman siguro mauubusan. since marami sa UK nun, baka makabili ako ng 2nd hand parts sa ukay-ukay

Actually forget the UK, even locally the Fiesta is selling well... It was the best selling hatchback in December 2010 beating the Honda Jazz... Sa sedan of course with the taxi sold Vios and Accent di nya matatalo yun...

Also, tingin ko parang thicker yon kaha ng fiesta compared sa city, sacrifice lang siguro sa FC kasi medyo bibigat. Sabi kasi nila "built tough" daw ford.

Tapos parang di ako sang-ayon sa honda na di nila pinapayagan gawing taxi ang kotse nila. Bibili ka na nga sa kanila may condisyon pa.

sir hindi rin ako sang-ayon gawing taxi ang honda peace.... sorry TS O.T.

the tsikot fiesta guys found a way to make the tranny livelier.

hehe.

if it's the 1.3 city, no contest. fiesta.

the 1.5E though... hehe. paddle shifters!

but the fiesta sport really has a lot more standard kit to boot

Weighing exactly these two cars. H.City 1.5E and F.Fiesta 1.6 Sport.

For now, I am leaning to the City because of:
- Brand reliability over the years (not saying Ford isn't though)
- Elegance (though I also like FF's sportiness)
- No problems so far since it was released in 2008/2009 (not sure what year)
- Biiig trunk space
- Resale value (yes I would like to upgrade after 4-5 years. I am not financially capable of keeping more than 1 car)

I love the Fiesta though because:
- It looks to be more sturdier (mas matigas na body)
- I felt good driving it. Nice handling (though I haven't test driven the City yet...)
- NVH
- Sportiness

So what's keeping me from picking the Fiesta?
- Current build issues noticed by others (If I can live with it i.e. no added cost for me to fix/maintain)
- Trunk space (Do you know what's the Fiesta's exact trunk size? )

I have around 1-2 mos before I expect my company give me a go for our car assistance. I love the Fiesta so I hope those two remaining deciding factors will be out of the way... especially regarding build issues

They just had a recall recently for 1.5L City...

Wala namang build issues ang Fiesta eh... Masyado ka lang tumtingin kay vivafoxpro eh lahat binabaklas nya to modify... As for trunk space syempre mas maliit kasi hatchback eh...
