Honda City MT v Toyota Vios MT v Hyundai Accent MT TIA

[vorkalito]

Hello Masters.

I am about to purchase my subcompact and my first choice is the Honda City

I was planning to buy the MT version but it is an entry level ( hate the cluster gauge, steel rims and HU )

Is it possible to change the cluster gauge and HU ( i will just purchase mags elsewhere) at the casa so my warranty will not be void.

Also, is it better to just purchase a MT vehicle that has better stock looks/accessories ( Vios E MT / Accent MT hatch ).

TIA

Cluster gauge. I dont know if that is possible.

HU, pwede but at a cost. And note, baka di sila pumayag na 3rd party HU ang ilagay.

Since m/t gusto mo, have considered ford fiesta?

MT lang talaga ang option mo? Why not try to look for a year old unit that is a TOTL model? In the case of the City, the VX is a lot better than the E in terms of looks and features. Yun nga lang, mas mahal siya with those in consideration pero if I were you, I'd go with that one para mas sulit yung money mo.

Mas maganda interior ng VX kesa sa E MT...

Corolla Altis MT should be on your shortlist din siguro? Although hindi na siya compact, the interior is nice.

yes, but after looking at the unit, i prefer the city. also ford fiesta is already highly outdated in our country. they are still releasing 2015 models. other countries have the updated version. if ford will supply these new units i still might consider

if you don't like how the car looks, then don't buy it, sir.
otherwise, you might end up cursing yourself every night.

folks usually buy brand new cars, so's they don't have to worry about 'em for several years.

to cover the steelies, buy silver-colored plastic covers.

some years back, someone asked how much it would take, to make his low end look higher end.
it turns out, he'd be better off buying that higher end. he wouldn't have to worry about the money and the "good-ness" of the conversion.

A Hyundai Accent CRDi MT, perhaps?

The real problem with MT is nako. Traffic these days will just make you wish that you should have gotten the CVT model instead and regret getting the stick shift. Mas ramdam mo yan lalo pag nahirapan ka sa clutch dahil matigas ito when you push it all the way down, which will also stress your foot, although hindi naman ata ganyan sa City. The only advantages that I see on MT these days are that it's cheaper to acquire, cheaper to maintain and more economical. Other than that, the CVT or AT is still better especially if city driving ka lang. Siguro nga kung may VX na MT, mas okay yun kaysa Vios G na MT din.

I like driving a manual car. I'm still considering the City MT. I think the gauge depends on your preference. For me i dont like it :/

How about suzuki ciaz. Decent size. Decent looks. Within your price range

Hindi ata maganda ang mga dealer at service network ng suzuki dito eh.

No actual experience on ciaz. But as *stockengine mentioned, maintenance should be just the typical change oil, filter, consumables.

Mas worse pa sa reputation ng hyundai?
