Toyota Altis or Honda City

IamQueenB

I'm planning to buy a new car this month (altis or city) but I can't decide which one will I get. Plus, I'm also considering a Mistubishi sedan.

Questions:

1. Between Altis and City, which is more preferable?

(i went to both honda and toyota showrooms, di naman nagkakalayo ang price nila.)

2. Can I buy a sedan type in Mitsubishi that'll cost below 1M?

3. Which car company is the best among the rest (not including luxury car co.)?

Thanks for the help!!

1 @TS hindi naman po kapantay ng Honda City ang Toyota Altis. If you'll compare the 2 Altis lagi panalo!

2 Lancer EX 2.0 GLX MT 990,000 okay ang Lancer Ex pero yung mga 1.6 para sakin hindi okay, hindi ko gusto design and maalog hindi smooth driving.

3 Depende sa car na bibilin mo may mga + and - bawat car makers. mag test drive ka nalang ang piliin what best suit your needs and wants. kung gusto mo dependable and matibay go for a Toyota, kung gusto mo prestige "daw" Honda or Ford, gusto mo malamig ang aircon go for Nissan, kung porma naman Lancer EX. nag test drive ako ng Hyundai Elantra, ganda sya smooth driving stable sa highway

I personally prefer the Altis:
- More torque (or hatak) from the engine due to its more useable powerband (Hondas usually need high rpms to get a good kick from the engine).
- Bigger car (in terms of width and length).
- More refined suspension
- Better road noise insulation.

The City would have an advantage if you're looking for car thats easy to maneuver around due to its smaller size.

For service pricing, AFAIK Honda is more expensive although the plus side is for the City, you'll only be seeing your service center every 10,000kms while with Toyota, you still need to go in every 5,000kms.

^I agree, but he must be referring to the prices of the cars. If you will notice the prices are almost the same with each other so I think he needs opinion who among those units will be the best bang for the buck.

anong variant ng altis at city ang napupusuan mo?

Pansin ko lang, the newer Toyota cars have the instrument panel at the middle of the dashboard, and not in front of the driver. If you feel na maninibago ka or maaapektuhan yung safety ng driving mo dahil dito, or kung feeling mo na hindi ka masasanay sa layout na ito, probably avoid Toyota.

Strange on the part of your officemate since most of the time this wont be used, IMO.

May pagka-WANNABE siguro ang mga City buyers....

Altis and City are different cars, I've driven both
and my vote goes to Toyota.
Nahihinaan ako sa torque ng City.

Parang Hyundai i30 owners na feeling nila BMW 1 Series ang kotse nila.

Mahal nga lang ang Altis 1.6 V variant.

May paddle shifters din naman ang Altis pero sa 2 Liter V variant at CVT sya.

Walang WANNABE WANKY paddle shifter ang Hyundai...

1.5 E ng City and 1.6 G A/T ng Altis ang pinagpipilian ko. Open ba ang showroom ng Mitsubishi this black saturday para matingnan ko ang Lancer? Thanks!

50-50 yan kung bukas on Black Saturday and Easter sunday. You may try the one in Mall of Asia but they may not have a Lancer display (maliit lang yung showroom).

Personally, i'd still go with the Altis G (having driven both models well enough). The advantage i see from the city is really more on its compact size which will make it easier to drive in tight spots. FC will not vary much AFAIK.
