Need Help for Buying a 2nd hand compact Sedan worth 450k Max

Alin p ms mgnda piliin s 2010 civic fd manual or automatic?

with today's traffic situation, AT is more attractive to use.
but there is a saying, "if new, buy AT; if used, buy MT". so many things can go wrong, if one buys a used AT that was not particularly cared for by the previous owner.

Whatever works for you. If getting a used FD automatic, make sure the tranny is in good condition.

If getting an MT, opt for the 2.0L model as it is a rare one. I think only around 200 or so Civic FD 2.0L MT were sold in the country. These were released back in 2006-2008. The MT option for the 2.0L model is not available anymore starting 2009.

^Honestly for city driving, I'd have to go for the automatic. Modern Honda automatics are very good. They also hold up well with extra power if you opt to modify the
car

+1 on this. The newer Honda automatics are much better than those used in the turn of the century models (Civic EK/ES and Accord 6th gen).

If gas expense is not much of a concern, a used 8th gen Accord 2.4L is a good option for a budget of 450k. It is spacious and comfortable, quick and fast, and handles very well for its size (drives much better than a City, Jazz, or Civic).

^Agree. But the 8th gen Accord is very big... Bigger than even the current gen. Just a shade below 5 meters if I'm not mistaken. If I we're to drive a car of that size, I'd rather go for something with 3 rows and higher ground clearance.

Thanks for the inputs mga sir. Now my choices are narrowed down to either City 1.5E or a Civic that will fit my budget. =)

Question is what year model will I avoid, is there any? thanks.

Yep, the 8th gen Accord is the biggest across all generations. A PPV or MPV or CUV might be more practical but it will never drive as good or as comfortable or as quick as an Accord.

The previous generation City/Jazz (2009-2013) shares the same engine as the new one (2014-current) but uses the older 5-speed AT. It is fuel efficient but a bore to drive. A Civic FD (2009-2011) of the same age is a better option overall.

I suggest you get the 2010 up model 1.8s civic, automatic for convenience. Face-lifted, new rims, the octagon taillights haaay love those octagon taillights.
