Almera might have lost by technicality of the pointing system but it wins on the things that matter the most. Driving performance and fuel efficiency. The other categories that City and Emgrand won on looks and accessories are mostly on preference. In my opinion, all in all, Almera actually won this comparo.
Gotta agree on you. There are some things that buyers might not need really like apple car play and android auto however when it comes to engine performance that's something you can't really overlooked.
all that being said, I think so too.. I have the old almera, it's really an intriguing car from an owners perspective. It's a pretty meh looking car stock, but owners seem to just fall in love with it coz I think the driving experience is something not talked about consciously. Quite lacking on acceleration, but handling is something, no issue goin up mountains and fuel efficiency is there. And when compared to the Vios, I'd prefer it to the superman and maybe a slight edge against the batman. From the details discussed here, it seems that the new Almera has the old ones feel carried over with more driving capability despite engine config and with a modernized look.
May I just add that the old almera has a mindboggling rear passenger space, I've tried pushing the front seats all the way forward, you can do a few things back there lol. Yet the new almera seems to have just comparative rear space to its current rivals when I peeked at it in the show room.
And for some car guys who has a deep knowledge about cars and engine will surely prefer a reliable and fuel efficient car with a some safety tech here and there that will get you from point a to b regardless of the type of road rather than something that will put you in a state of worry thinking if you'll be able to reach your destination.
Sorry but I disagree. You say the City and Emgrand won on looks and accessories? Maybe you are only referring to the Emgrand? Actually, the City was placed third in that category with only one point. This might be a different story if we are comparing the City RS given its sporty look and aggressive LED headlights.
On the driving performance, the almera is the most fun to drive but according to caco, the city is not far behind plus 10L more in the fuel tank which means lesser visit to the gasoline station.
If you check, Fuel efficiency is actually the same.
Honda City won the comfort category. It has the most comfortable passenger seats with better material plus the aircon vents.
Honda City also won the Boot Space Category.
Honda City has cruise control with more airbags.
On the other side, The Almera has no cruise control, lesser airbags, lesser fuel capacity, the only one with no aircon vents at the back given the hot weather here in the philippines, smallest boot space, a little rough fabric material, requires a more expensive 95octane fuel, and the most expensive of the three.
Emgrand will be hard to beat given its price. 💯 Value for Money. But reliability, durability, parts availability, after sales service, resale value are also some factors that are needed to be considered by the buyers.
I honestly think that Caco is on point with this comparo🙂👌
@@michaelvargas1351 I agree. I actually own a Honda City. That is why I mentioned resale value and reliability should also be considered by the buyers. 🙂
I just got my Geely Emgrand and it's pretty darn good for my day to day work. For me, value for money is justified with Emgrand. It's worth it!
choosing between vios xle cvt vs emgrand. please give mo some tips Sir. Thank you and God Bless.
same thoughts. up
@@jannogives1981 my guess is, if you have no plans in replacing your car after 5 years, get the Vios. Currently has more parts and more reliable.
But if you are planning to change your car every 5 years, get the emgrand. But still, the vios is the better choice as it resells at higher cost than Geely.
Geely is still a new player and especially the emgrand. So it’s hard to know what problems might come up in the future.
@@jasperpamilar2688 对于国外市场来说吉利是新选手，对于国内市场来说，吉利帝豪经历四次更新改进，上市已经有十几年时间，中国市场证明了这辆车的可靠性，当然相比之下日本车零件更充足，因为难免会出现碰撞的问题导致车辆损坏，汽车配件充足是必须的
@@jasperpamilar2688 单纯以这辆吉利帝豪的可靠性来说是不会比任何其他品牌的车差，唯一区别只是零件是否充足的问题
Almera is the best for Cebu amongst the 3, in my view at least. We have city and mountains, not much highways and no expressways as vast as Luzon and Mindanao. The 35L tank is not going to be a problem as well because with a fuel efficiency of 18 to 22km/l, you're looking at 650 to 770km per full tank. Even if we drop that to a conservative 15km/l that's still 525kms. That's about 18 to 25kms a day for a whole month. Cebu island is only 256kms north to south. Cebu City is only 15kms north to south. So yeah, our odometers are not so banged up. The Honda City comes a close second. All a matter of preference, really, and how it adapts to your location, what you use the car for (mainly) and yeah, let's add loyalty and past experience with the brand haha. Granted, I was expecting the Almera to be a tad bit cheaper but it is what it is.
Thanks for the review AutoDeal team! Really liked the way you guys review the cars and the genuine feedback given. One thing I would like to see in future reviews is maybe to add the following, maintenance cost and reliability of the model/brand or issues observed. Not needed to be scored but maybe can be added as an FYI.
Thank you for putting so much effort in all of your videos to give us reliable and informative reviews.
I just got my CITY RS 2022. Only quite disappointed with the instrument cluster that looks like as basic and downgraded; the suede and cloth materials combination with leather; the fixed rear headrest and lastly the reverse camera that looks cheap.
But still I would pick my City RS over the two competitors.
All the while, I was just looking for aircon vents & charging points for the 2nd row as my considerations for getting a sedan (or for any vehicle for that matter). Seems like I can't have it all. Tnx Caco & to the AutoDeal Team. You guys always get it "slayed". 👋👋👋
definitely agree, regardless of the winner, people will be able to get the pros and cons of each unit per category. I really enjoy these COMPAROS. Looking forward to seeing more.
I got my Honda City and No regret, Sobrang Sulit especially for City Driving Thanks God for granted our Dream Car🙏
using my Nissan Almera for 9 months now. if you're on the lookout for a subcompact sedan, highly recommend this one. it's a fun car to drive, very peppy even with the smaller engine thanks to that turbo. especially fun driving on expressways. fuel economy has been around 9-12 km/l in the city on speeds ranging between an average of 25-50kph. On mixed to highway driving, i usually get 18-23 km/l. CVT is also great, 95% of the time there is no delay. Only very seldom when the car seems to not move as soon as you depress the accelerator. PMS cost is also quite cheap.
PS. If you're around Laguna/Quezon, avoid Nissan Lipa dealership as they have poor customer service and it took 6 months before I got my freebies and 8 months before I got my LTO license plate.
this test is the best. with actual mountain drive that we can hear the engine thank you so much
I think it would be great if you could add the spare parts availability to future vids. Great review as always!
Still went for the Nissan Almera VE 😁
i'd still go for fuel economy and driving power. and that's the Nissan Almera for me.
@AJ RV 14km/L
I'd go for the City simply because of reliability. Geely's are very attractive on their features and price points but reliability and longevity questions still remain unanswered. Not to mention the parts availability. Only time can tell. As for the Almera, it is not really a bad choice but as a Navara owner, Nissan probably has the WORST service, plus Nissan parts are overpriced as well as their PMS.
I own a Navara and A Honda BR-V and I would say that in terms of parts and services, they are pretty much the same. I wonder why you seem to have a bad experience with Nissan's service(?). I would agree that Honda's service is better but I would argue that Nissan's is not that bad in comparison. In terms of PMS, it usually depends on which dealership you go to and you can always revise the PMS quotation based on what you think is essential and necessary. I expected more from Geely, probably because of the hype and sales of the Coolray and that they are competing with more established, (relatively) more reliable brands. I think that they could have equipped the Emgrand with a more powerful engine to make a dent in this segment. I considered buying the Honda City at one point, but then decided to purchase the BR-V instead -- based on this review and given the 3 choices, I would buy the Almera. Honestly though, if I am going to buy another car, I would keep my Navara, sell my BR-V and buy me a Geely Coolray.😉
Navara owner here but i felt sorry for what you’re experiencing. Actually di ko inexpect that casa pms cost was really cheap compared to my friend’s hilux. Also my dealer is not that a problematic just like yours. Yung aircon knobs was replaced thru warranty din 2weeks lang yung waiting time than the promised 2months, yun nga lang the casa is 2hrs away from ours.
I own a navara and i wont agree. Actually nissans service from where im from is really good. They are on time and on point. I guess it depends on the management theyre under.
navara & hilux owner here, in terms of pms, i'll say nissan is way cheaper than toyota, anyway, planning to buy honda city, i hope i'll get a nice service from honda :)
The engine has been proven and tested on the Emgrand, the engine is a Mitsubishi Orion engine, Geely opted for that engine over the turbo charged option.
I hope you make videos that simulate car breakdowns. The cost of the repair, the availability of support, time the issue gets resolved, time the parts arrive etc.
I very much agree. What amazed me is that, when and how you get your witt and passion bank in this video. 🤔
Very nice review. I'm having nassan Almera turbo but it's slightly different. I have sport mode. From your review I will go for Nissan, bcos its fuel efficient, reliable, and more stable to drive. In addition spare part and maintenance more cheap with Almera. The geely is more fancy and with a lot of features which are not the most important to a driver.
The Vios CVT, for comparison, has a manual mode, and it helped me on several occasions to tackle long distance uphills and twisties bet Lemery in Batangas and Tagaytay City.
I would go for Almera. Engine performance and fuel economy are my top considerations in buying a new mid size sedan. This car will be my perfect companion for my daily commute.
This are sub compact sedan not a mid size sedan, fyi.
you also have to consider that its a turbo engine. so reliability will be an issue for the long run
@@HansLotap not really. If it's a chinese/korean vehicle, then yes, having a turbo is scary. Japanese brands, in general, knows how to make a turbo engine reliable. As long as you keep it stock.
You might also want to re-consider as the Almera requires 95 Octane Rating fuel compared to Honda City na 91 Octane lang (Not sure with the Geely ones)
@@anferneerapio3978 95 octane fuel isn't that much pricier vs 91 though. It's always just 1 peso pricier in my area. Although, yea I can see the 1 peso difference piling up long term. Switching to premium unleaded to my Almera doesn't really impact my savings at all. I can see it being a concern though for people who drive longer distances and more frequently.
great comparo, thank you so much!
Caco please dont forget to review their sound systems, i wanna hear your feedback on them
One thing I really hate are underpowered vehicles. Which is why I'm not really attracted to the MPVs we have now like the xpander, rush, avanza, ertiga, etc2x. If you're new to driving, you won't realize it yet but having the right amount of power in your vehicle is also a safety feature that'll really save you from accidents.
Couldn't agree more.
I remember buying an xpander last year. Boy that was a huge mistake. It’s severely underpowered! Immediately sold it and got myself a pickup truck.
Care to elaborate how did engine power become a safety feature? For the benefit of New drivers?
@@lucaslearning8362 elaborate? For real? 😆😂🤣
Wow. Common sense isn't really that common now. 🤣
@@knav5216 , yeah please. Indulge us. Let's hear it, paano naging safety feature yung power specifications ng oto, Mr./Ms. Car Guru?
I agree with this review, because I own an emgrand, It is true that the geely emgrand needs more power on the engine.
The engine of emgrand will live more than the turbocharged engines, one thing for sure.
for city driving lang naman ang emgrand
Ok naman sya sa power kung gusto mo lang maka punta sa point A to point B, naturally aspirated engine ang emgrand expected na yung low power/torq nya,
@@alvinjohn6682 true but gas consumption will also be a factor.
Pero overall Emgrand padin that's why I chose it :D and true city driving lang naman ako palagi kaya emgrand talga hahah
Now I want an Almera as my 2nd car
Go for it 💯
Emgrand really is the best especially for city driving. But City too is a very great car. We know Honda’s reliability and engine innovation. Maybe next time, you can use binaural mics to test the audio system and maybe rank it? Great review, Sir Caco.
As always great review!

I'm from Baguio traveling a lot to the south low lands and back. I often use also the 1.3 Vios XLE (eco-off), thus, anything with a higher torque and HP is very nice. Personally, safety is a priority rather than other snazzy features. Second would be resale value (it's still an financial investment), then after sales service/reliability. IMHO, I'd still give my 2nd place to the Honda, Toyota being first. Great video, love your content!
Nissan almera for me should be on top..
"Face-to-face" comparos just hit different 👌👌
Am okay with the result;) I would suggest including Warranty as a consideration.
I enjoy the reviews, good work:)
Fuel+drive sounds like a win. hopefully Almera adds more safety and toys tho
First to watch.. thank you for the review..
Honda city and Almera are great cars. Emgrand is just all-looks, performance is very much inferior against the other two.
Nothing but correct!
And it will not last more than 10 years for sure
I'm a new driver and we just acquired our Emgrand Comfort a few months ago as of this writing. I did notice the points that you mentioned during your Hill Challenge when I drove our car around our area with slight inclines and curved roads, and it does feel underpowered, but the comfort inside the car is the selling point for me. Loved the control of the car and how big the space inside is.
This is it. Most awaited.
Looks- Geely Emgrand
Comfort/technology- Honda City
Performance/efficiency- Nissan Almera
This is what i’ve been waiting for💜💜
Now i have an idea which one to pick. Thanks autodeal!
Very good comparo. For me, it’s safety and fuel consumption that is the top thinhs to consider.
Are you guys recording at a lower fps? Ghosting is noticeable. Anyway, amazing review/comparo
Geely Emgrand will be launched in Malaysia as Proton S50 at the end of this year. It comes with a higher ADAS system than the Geely Coolray SE Sport sold in the Philippines at a price range starting from RM65k (Peso776,305.00) to RM80k (Peso955,452.00) for the highest specification. It also comes with a powerful 150PS engine with 225NM Torque and a 7 Speed Wet Clutch DCT transmission that is more powerful than the Geely Emgrand sold in the Philippines.
Is this the champion edition? czcams.com/video/_RrpJ4-MPdA/video.html
The Almera actually does have a Sport mode though. It's located on the shift stick. Haven't really used it that much though as the normal mode is plenty enough even for more spirited driving.
The fact that it gives you all the "toys" you want in a vehicle does not mean you got "all that you need and will always be necessary". Being the most affordable in terms of price point, I mean it will lack something else, Yes? But where? Hmmm...
Still, exceptional review Caco! 🙌
Honda City is overall winner for me. Tried and tested engine that equates to performance and durability. After all cars are meant to be driven always, therefore we need a reliable partner on the road. Not to mention few good dealerships for after sales service, good numbers of available fast moving parts and much more. But thanks to Geely Emgrand, I believe few years from now most Japanese and Korean automakers will catch up with the features that Chinese automakers are offering with the price range. Nissan Almera is what I call the most improved sedan in its segment.
Thank you very much for the review! The Emgrand is excellent! feels like Luxury Sedan.. Planning to purchase one in the next three months! excited to try Chinese Brand Car! ;-)
i'm all about driving performance and fuel efficiency, all other things are just nice to haves. so for me personally, the almera is the winner.
Fell in love with the emgrand at first glance. 😍
Very nice comparison. I’ve been thinking of getting the Honda City for a long time and now I am more convinced.
I hope the tests you do here become the norm for future comparos. Is it asking too much if you do something like the moose test as well on the comparos? I'd certainly be interested to see it.
Filipino Consumers always like their three Rs:
Reliability (Brand and Car)
Relatively Modern (In and out)
Reasonable Price
You forgot something, Rfuel Economy hahah
@@babyrage1763 nailed it 😂
The almera is Fun to drive, outstanding fuel efficiency, comfort, and the style and looks that won't age much even after 10 years. Not a lot of drivers are uber tech savy so some entertainment factors doesn't affect much but they put their tech more on what's going to help the driver more like 360° camera. I saw one in the road can't help but to smile and feel jealous about the owners ride.
agreed. when i was out looking for a sedan, my consideration was which car i wanted to drive when i see it on the road lol. 3 points to Almera, 2 points to City haha! Upon test driving, the Almera was also more fun to drive. I do feel even the driving feel is grossly down to preference.
Almera is fuel efficient and Has some Good torque but I won't recommend almera cvt i prefer at or Mt.
Almera has worst cvt
Please include in the COMPARO the ff: availability of parts, reliability and if possible estimate of longevity. Keep it up!
agree with this. still honda for me.
Hello Sir Caco, loves the comparo! but it would be nice if could include korean or European in the comparo would be nice. But overall great job.
If I'm not mistaken, currently in Malaysia, the City of the similar price comes with paddle shifter. Almera here do not have Android Auto on all variant only Apple Carplay, while the cheapest, around 972700 peso, dont have the touch screen/Apple Carplay.
I would go for Emgrand if the spare parts issue is not so bad. Love it's design in & out, and the price is sure one thing to consider.
Great comparo... But for that price range,I'll get a coolray comfort instead😅
Yea I think comparing top of the line for each car would be more appropriate and just deduct points for the expensive one because you just did it on this video. I do think comparing geely’s top line with honda and nissan’s mid variant would be unfair. Nevertheless good comparison though! 👏👏👏
Lol... Sir Caco, you're really entertaining. Keep these reviews coming. ❤️
I go with almera when it comes to ac , comfort and fuel efficient. Na drive qna ang Almera from Davao to Manila, sobrang tipid sa gas . Even trip sa Baguio, I don’t have any issues kinaya yun mga uphills na tatlong beses inakyat na tuloy tuloy partida puno ang car ejeje…😅 nasa pag aalaga at driving skills yan, choose the car you feel suits your needs. ❤drive safé!
mas malaki sana ang lamang ng Emgrand kung nai consider sana ang 60/40 folding rear seats para makapagkarga ng longer item sa category ng cargo space ✌️
May 60/40 folding pass through seats po yung Emgrand
@@alexzaselina3973 opo boss, kaso di nai consider sa points sa Cargo Space segment kahit may 60/40 folding rear seats 😅
Great comparo. Only the best from caco and autodeal. You really deliver on your promise to give us only great content
Ill pick almera for this esp in terms of driving perf and fuel eff. Good comparison tho! All time fave, autodeal!!
Great categories for evaluation. It's sad, though, that Vios is not part of this comparo.
Almera wins for me. Plus, it looks the best. Definitely a head turner.
love watching your comparo. a suggestion though, the things i find good in a car might not be the ones that my mom likes (yes, she uses my car). so what if you do a comparo with the perspective of a male driver and a female driver, or a young driver and an old driver. just a thought.
As a Honda City 2021 owner, I will choose still the Honda City. I already test drive the Almera and Emgrand. Yes, Emgrand have very nice interior and Almera has turbo, but the Honda City is more satisfying between these 3 cars. Fuel efficiency, the power you need is there and the it can provide you speed when you need it. Also the looks, it’s a really a head turner.
AND IT'S HONDA! cheers
It's Almera for me for fuel efficiency and ease of driving. Never mind the amenities and looks. I can live without those.
Not to mention the ac it's top of top of the class!!! 😂
Unang kita ko palang sa Almera nainlove na kaagad Ako.
I'll go for fuel economy and power. and 360° camera is actually cool and very useful. Almera for me
Parking street and building comparison ease of use, would be of great assistance to most potential buyers.
Been driving the Almera Turbo VLT specs for a year now, and it has been promising since day 1. Tried many (City, Vios, etc) before purchasing, but this Almera Turbo just gives me the best driving feeling and experience especially if you're more handling-oriented.
One thing I must point out regarding the highest spec of the Almera Turbo, is that the disadvantages mentioned in this vid regarding the airbags, cruising control, and aesthetic are thoroughly nullified.
And he didn't mention about AEB and FCM in Almera. Safety is the most important other than duel consumption, and driving experience.
i remember the first time i drove an Automatic and it was the newly launched 2022 Nissan Almera VL. Manual user ako, so nung dinadrive ko siya nanibago ako sa auto start/stop ng engine kapag nasa traffic, i even found it annoying at some point. pero now, narealize ko na ang laking tulong pala nun.
The Coolray's 1.5L sport mode is a beast for hill climbs that is why I chose it over the Honda City. Also Coolray's can be played with its manual mode.
They completely ignored that the Almera is the only one in the segment that has some ADAS like AEB and FCM. They always fail to mention the safety features.
But 2 airbags only
They also ignored that it comes with a crappy jatco CVT
@@GreatGrandmasterWang hmm, Xtronic CVT napo ang New Almera Turbo hindi na po Jatco.😅
@@Adrian-rt8se that's still under Jatco dude. Nissan owns Jatco
Lamang lang sa tech & features ang Emgrand pero kung sa performance panalo ang Almera & City . Iba padin quality ng japanese cars, walang tatalo.
Almera for me. It may not provide me the added features of Emgrand, its the engine I consider carries the points for me. I had the Almera on the sides to choose among its same category autos, but your experience of its engine made me think otherwise. After sales parts of Nissan/Honda have been in the market since. My two cents, Mr. Caco Tirona👍
i liked the style of how you compared the three cars pinag-isipan talaga except that nosebleed ako sayo kako hehehe....nice job!...i really liked the emgrand.
I like the looks of the almera and the engine. For me its #1
Next Comparo suggestion is between the Honda Civic, Mazda 3 & Toyota Corolla Altis
Caco do a quarter mile drag race qand long drive economy challenge.. make sure you bring jinno with you...vgood comparo review!!
I'll choose Almera, those feats that is less from it compared on two r not so big deal, but torque and cold aircon is all that matter for me especially when i travelling to somewhere north that more on twisties and uphills
Though I have a soft spot for Honda City's hatchback, it's got to be the Emgrand, hands down if it's between these 3.
From what I know there's a sport mode in Nissan Almera, it's located below the gear lever if I'm not mistaken.
Please do a comparo between Subaru XV GT, Geely Coolray Sport Limited, and The new Chevrolet Trailblazer Premier. Love all ur videos more power
Thank you for this review... I am torn between City and Emgrand actually. But that hill drive test, safety, and the fuel consumption comparison, those are the most important factors for me. I experienced driving the old Almera in Baguio and in some point it lacks the power to move uphill. And that scared me since I have my family with me.
I think I'll go for the most balanced of these three... It's the City for me. :)
new almera has 154 nm torque. the best in its class :) honda city 0nly has 145 nm at full throttle
@@Nino-bu9mj yes, it's all new. Engine wise, I agree it is good. But it is not the only thing that I consider when buying a car. If the Almera Turbo is not that overpriced compared to these two, I might go for it. And it is true, the PMS of Nissan is more expensive compared to others.
UPDATE: I got my new City a month ago. Will do some vlogs as well about it.
Totally worth it by the way. 👌👌👌
@@TVSeth mas mahal c honda pms kesa kay nissan check mo ngayon para maiba na yung decision mo. Pero since nakuha mo na goodluck sa PMS tatagain ka talaga ni honda.
@@strongherd We have both Honda and Nissan kaya ko alam. Afterall it's my personal opinion and my money, so siguro wala ka ng pakialam doon.
result is acceptable. It depends now if what they actually want among those 3 coz each units has their own edge.
For me this comparison is fair enough
I own a city rs. I'd say i've made a good choice. Tho, at times transmission on my unit is jerky when decelerating.
thank you autodeal!
I will always go for engine performance, I can live without the safety features like reverse camera/ 360 camera and parking sensors even a good infotainment system! As long as it has a Bluetooth I'm good to go!! Nothing beats the enjoyment you have if u knew that your engine is capable and can match it to the things that you want to do with it! 😄
Then you may want to check the EL variant of the Almera :)
Nice review buddy (from Malaysia), Emgrand is about to enter to Malaysian market....
Seen also Geely Laos.... we had the first taste here in Philippines.... hope you enjoyed it as we wonderfully exuberant love this as 1st car. nothing disapoint till now. btw March 30 our release.
@@ricg2005 I intend to purchase it .....
You missed to try the manual mode of Emgrand for hitting uphills 😅, just thinking of how the response would be be and how fun like driving a stick shift hehe
I'll go for the Emgrand if there's a MT but definitely would go for the City MT or AT...
@@mooncarvlog manual vairant coming in may 25
@@regiepedere753 no no I meant honda city s mt
@@regiepedere753 there will be a Manual version of Emgrand soon
The Almera base variant (EL) is MT only. Fun thought: their MT has 5% higher torque output (160 Nm) than their CVT (152 Nm) at 2400 rpm and increases from 160 to 170 Nm at around 4000 rpm.
Fun thought #2: It's around 200k cheaper than the mid-spec variant (VE), at 728k casa price.
Fun thought #3: the highest variant (VL N-Sport) only comes with a CVT.
Fun thought #4: Nissan Philippines has tested the Almera MT to be more fuel-efficient than the CVT.

The Emgrand definitely looks the best. These "sharp" and "futuristic" designs do get old real quick. Why? Because everyone's doing it. So I'd go for the classier look that will stand the test of time.
Tech is probably neck and neck. Android Auto and Carplay are good but the need to "plug" them most of the time is an inconvenience (unless the car has "wireless" Auto and Carplay). Mirroring, same. Plug your phone. Plain bluetooth is a lot more convenient especially when just playing your tunes.
Interior? Neck and neck. They all look great. Space is also close but I'm not digging that high center tunnel of the Almera. Points go to the two. But again, if you need tons of space, get an MPV. A sedan, even a hatchback, just won't give you that.
The drive? That is where Almera I think takes the cake.
Objectively, I think this Comparo is spot on. The Emgrand wins by a thin margin. That being said, the buyer will always have the final say.
Great comparo, Autodeal!
I wonder if we could special-request an Almera with the Navara's Stealth Pearl Gray, that's a wicked hue.
You can never go wrong with the city but there’s one thing I don’t like about it, the radiator and condenser fan can break faster than other brands sabi nga ng iba “sakit na ng honda yan”. That's the only issue I had with mine before I sold my city, though it can be fixed by cleaning the carbon brush or just buying a fan motor(aftermarket). I love our Honda City and I still miss it everyday.
True
Just goes to show toyota is still the king of reliabilty i still drive my toyota vios 2014 manual never had any problems with it tamang change oil lang and maintenance i love it its our family car pero binigay na sakin ni papa kasi meron na syang new montero which means sakin na ung vios and i will forever keep it its my first ever car and ill never sell it has a special place in my heart
Almera wins on performance and fuel consumptions. Reliability is decent too. Kinda makes it the winner out of these 3, ironic.
also for me!
Search if you're talking about reliability, search first for nissan JATCO CVT.
Almera for the win, Driving that turbo is alot of fun for the driver for a car this size
was a bit skeptical about Almera but after this review, I appreciate it more. Service and reliability still goes to Honda, and probably NIssan. :)
I might be biased pero nissan's reliability is on top. We have 2 nissan cars. Almera 2014 and Livina 2011. We've been using Nissan Livina since 2011 and until now nakakaakyat pa rin ng baguio (though may issue na lately paakyat ng baguio). Yung engine niya malakas pa rin. Sa almera medyo hirap and alalay ka paakyat ng baguio pero safe na safe pa rin nakakaakyat. Iyak lang tayo sa maintenance and price ng parts ☹️
Proud owner of Honda City, walang pagsisisi even after more than one year.
Maganda ba yung tunog nya pag nag accelerate?
And mabilis kahit stock?
@@drusillo8608 Both yes sa tanong mo
I still go for the city we have to admit in some years it is the highest resale value compare to those two cars. I really like the almera but with that turbo it is another expense to be prepared if broken down/maintenance. Looking for a safe city car i still go for the honda with the RS variant.
Wow! Great Comparo video. I was rooting for the City. But Geely has a case to win. Nissan might also win if the turbo is given more points now that the gas costs like gold
