    I am planning to buy a second hand car. My choices are a corolla GLi 2001 and city 2002 1.3L or 1.5L

    Medyo bago lang kase ako. This would be my first car if ever. Can anyone help me comparing these 2 cars.

    - performance
    - spare parts availability/price
    - fuel consumption
    - suspension
    - durability
    - feedbacks from owners/forums (positve and negative) e.g. madali masira aircon, madali masira suspension .. etc
    - etc

    Natry ko na din itest drive yung dalawa, mas gusto ko yung suspension at handling ng corolla so far, pero i wanted to here from someone na mas experience since hnde ako marunong msyado tumingn ng kotse.


    Thanks

    Hello! I have a corolla. Kaya lang '96 model

    PERFORMANCE - what can I say.....ang sarap ihataw kaya makipagsabayan
    SPARE PARTS AVAILABILITY - toyota yan kaya kahit saan ka tumingin available ang spare parts niyan napakamura pa.
    FC - mine's 1.3 it runs about 12-14 km/l city driving
    SUSPENSION - Naidaan ko na sa rough road sakin.......ok naman walang kalampag. Up to now.
    DURABILITY - matibay yan....kung aalagaan mo mabuti baka umabot pa yan ng 2020 :shocked2: haha.
    FEEDBACKS - malamig a/c niya. Basta't alaga...... walang problema

    ill just share some pics of my corolla

    Performance is the plus factor of the City but for fit and finish, i'd lean more on the AE111 Corolla. Reliability, both are good, it all depends on how the previous owner maintained his ride.
