    I suggest you buy a city with a manual tranny if you are after this particular model, a civic dimension body matic tranny also fits your budget.

    The 'matic' City/Jazz is actually equipped with a CVT (Continuous Variable Transmission). While mas matipid dapat ito compared sa traditional Automatic, masirain yung CVT ng Honda for those year models. Kaya bumalik sila to a traditional A/T for their succeeding cars.

    Thank You. Pero, kung manual na city ang bibilhin ko, mas okey na po ba?

    be aware though that CVT engines medyo magastos ang maintenance. spark plug pa lang every time you change it instead of the usual 4, 8 ang pinapalitan.

    Bro.,- I think that you are referring to Honda City/Jazz's (old) iDSI engines, which has 8 spark plugs.

    CVT is a transmission variant (A/T) for these vehicles.... Medyo problemado ang mga ito, kaya ang current models ng City/Jazz,- 5 A/T na...

    Currently looking for a secondhand car in that range. Sa Honda, 01-02 Civic LXi/VTi AT pasok dyan. 03-04 City i-DSi CVT pasok din.

    Tama si boss marion2, kung ma stretch up to 450K marami na Civic FD, kung 400K marami CRV, that is if you don't mind the gas consumption.

    May useful life ang lahat ng mga bagay, Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF), at ang sukat nito ay time (hours, days, months, or years). Kung sobrang taas ng mileage malapit na ma reach ang useful life ng ibang piyesa niyan. Mag ready ka na lang ng extra budget sa pagpapapalit ng mge bibigay na parts niya.

    Honda City are known to be very fuel efficient, hence you can be sure they are on the road most of the time. You may need extra budget to fix those wear and tear. Make sure the unit is not used by agents because different driver means different driving styles.
