Guys and sifus,

Honda Civic FD 2.0 vs Honda Civic FD 1.8 vs Honda City i-VTEC 1.5 (new)

Considerations:
- Maintenance cost
- FC
- Durability (plan to keep up to 10 years and maybe more)

If take FD, which year should I look for? Facelift or pre-facelift? Any particular conditions that I should be on the lookout for?

Kindly advise, thanks

No, pokai

2009 Honda Civic 1.8 - if you want a new number plate with your used Civic you can always go for such options 

2011 Honda City E-spec - this is my top pick because it is the top spec Honda City pre-facelift at a reduced price as you'd only get 2010 low-spec or 2009 high-spec for this price, so quickly call before they sell it. Only issue most people have with this car is that it feels heavy (due in part to extra safety features like VSA and larger roomier interior and boot) thus it doesn't feel as nippy as a Vios (I consider lightweight stripped down milo tin) but it is better spec having paddle shifters, VSA, 5 stars NCAP, etc. So fuel consumption varies according to driving style.
