nielle SG both are about the same price, but the current model of civic has been around for a number of years… dunno when the new model is coming out… prob soon right? wouldn’t the price drop significantly after that?
Bloop... SG Yup... Think about it. Civic 1.6l same performance as Altis 1.8l, but has lower road tax, etc.
nielle SG my only concern is the new model and when it'll come out... once come out, price sure drop right? anyone has any idea when new model will be out? should i wait?
Ah Wei SG Get a Civic 1.7 with full body kit, it look great......... Or if you are comparing both 1.6 model, I'll still go for the Civic. It got a smoother engine but FC should not be able to beat the Altis.
LittleTiger SG Civic 1.6 VTi performance is almost same as Altis 1.6 VVT at 81kw Civic 1.7 VTi-s is 96kw some 4(5.5hp)kw lesser than altis 1.8 VVT 100kw. Torgue wise Altis 1.8 beats Civic 1.7 by 16Nm at 171Nm to 155Nm Performance wise its roughly the same although Altis 1.8 is much more heavy than Civic 1.7 but Altis has more torgue to pull it from standstill.
Danisdead101times SG depends on which type you wanna get for yourself,civic will be more 'tiong' type...and altis will be more to those saloon car type... if i were to say,civic will be better..cuz im 'tiong' type...
STiYaKuzA SG can get the 1.6 civic then buy 1.7 engine put inside it is highly unlikely the inspection ppl will find out unless they check the engine no
toyota_lover SG think left n right also cant figure out why you mentioned civic 1.6l has the same performance as altis 1.8l we are talking abt stock car here, right?
johncooper SG my vote goes to Altis ... never underestimate a VVT-I engine ah ... u will never believe wad can a G9 1.6 manual corolla can do to a SiR .....
nielle SG just found out that the new civic will be out approx early 2006… which means if i buy now, i’ll only be able to drive it for 1 year at most before the new model comes out… sian leh…
blacktortise SG Civic 1.6 is now 73.5K(manual) & 75.5K (auto) was in your position @ beginning of 2004.Glad I chose the Civic over the Altis....
toyota_lover SG go where your heart belong... actually no one can give you an answer here coz you'll be the one driving it.
