Hi there

I'm seriously contemplating on buying an affordable car. I already paid my ITR just so I can have one in case, I'd choose to avail for an auto loan. I've selected these two cars. Which one is better?

2012 Honda City 1.3 S Manuarl OR 2012 Kia Rio Ex Manual (sedan)

Kindly post your opinions on this matter. Many thanks!

i'd go for the rio.. medyo hindi ako nagagandahan sa MMC na City. Tsaka mas matagal maluma dahil kalalabas lang :D

Had the same dilemna but ended up getting the City. If the Rio was released a year earlier bka nbago decision ko.

I'd go with the Rio. Design is real nice. Then you get a 6 speed manual too, which would mean better gas mileage, especially in highway runs. Besides, I find the City rather expensive for what you get.

I think the 6 speed will only be useful as a thrift device if you frequent highways. I go for the City, unless if 60/40 seats is a deal maker to you, then it's Rio. Was able to test drive a Rio and I'm very fond of the City, I find the City more refined even if a bit older.
