fuel consumption

Di ata kasya budget mo, IMHO.

Mga 2003 Corolla pa ang kasya. Don't know the market price for the Civic, though.

ah ganun b. for 550K meron n b?

if you're looking at the civic vti or altis j .. you "might" hit that price range .. but it's a long shot since it would still be a 1 year old car .. i'd go for the altis if you're looking for fuel efficiency ..

Go for Altis unless you want to run the risk of losing your fuel tank.

Whether it's an Altis or a Vios, Toyota sounds like the better buy.

Forgot about that. I thought they'd fixed that before the 2005 model year? Besides, it's a free repair/replacement issue, right?

i don't think applicable na yung free repair/replacement .. it was only offered for a specific period ..

pero dapat nga ayos na yan kung 2005 nabili ng 1st owner .. yung es na 2004 and below lang yung affected ..

Can't go wrong with the Corolla.

But you could go wrong with the Civic.

No brainer

power + economical = vvti

Ok, so the fuel tank issue was solved by 2005, but heck, that particular Honda still sucks.

Niky's right, you might not be able to get a 550k worth 2005 model for Altis, Civic it's a long shot din.

Between the two, get the Altis a/t it's great over-all. Civic's engine is good tho, but that's it. driven both cars.

toyotas tend to have cheaper replacement parts, so if you plan to keep it for >5 years, sa altis ako

depende na rin kung ano kursunada mo...both brands are known for build quality naman e

I'd go with the Altis since the current body will still be around for a few more years.

Unlike the ES which has already been replaced by the FD just this year.
