The Honda Lovers Thread

I went to the Toyota dealership to check the new Corolla. The front looks a improved but from the windshield back, it looked like an old 2001 Altis. The inside looked utilitarian and plain. Very dissapointing.

I've been driving a Civic the past couple of years. This after being a Corolla car owner since college. From experience I'd go with the Civic. But I just don't know how the new models perform.

i have the same issue. if the fan motor speed is between 1/3 to 3/4 of the way to max, the fan simply konks out and after a few seconds it switches back on... akala ko it's unique to my CRV 2003.

 

btw, sumabog na rin ang original compressor ko on the 26th month. aircon warranty is only 24-months. damay ang evaporator at condenser and spent P55k to replace all of it.

sa akin ganon din mga 26 months bumigay dina ang aircon. suwerte ko lang at mababa ang mileage ko pinalitan naman ng casa ng bago. bayad ko lang labor and linis. mga 3000 plus noon.

CRV the engine is very reliable but when the car gets old maybe 8 years old then many many small problems will start to appear.

I need advise from you good folks. I'm thinking of buying a new car this year and I'm choosing between the Civic and Toyota. Actually, I've always had my eye on getting a Honda Civic from way back. The only thing that's keeping me from being totally convinced in buying it is the maintenance costs. I heard that mataas daw talaga ang cost for change oil, tune up, parts etc. Which is the total opposite for the Altis as we all know that Toyota parts are readily available and affordable.

 

What I'd like to know is how much is the average cost for the common maintenance like change oil, tune up etc.

 

For the Altis' part, I like how the exterior looks like and I know it's a good car. Plus cost of maintenance is indeed very afforable compared to that of the Civic.

 

Hope you can help with my query.

here's my 2 cents on the topic....civic has a higher resale value than an altis.....never seen a honda being used as a taxi before (no offense to toyota owners)....downside lang sa honda: higher maintenance cost ( mainly due to more expensive parts)....so with that in mind...i go for the civic.

Can you give me an idea how an average tune up or change oil will be for a Civic?

The civic has a higher resale value than the corolla in the Philippine market because Pinoys put such a high premium on looks. I'm not saying that the civic sells based on its looks alone; it's probably the most technologically advanced in its class, but being head and shoulders above every other model in its category (looks-wise) is its strongest selling point. Having a better performing engine and tranny also helps. Personally I don't mind having a car model that's being used as a taxi. Being used as a taxi attests to the durability of that model. In the American market Toyotas outsell Hondas by a wide margin. Why? Because they value durability over looks. I'm not one of them, that's why I'd still choose the civic.
