(11th Gen) Honda Civic

[Egan101]

It's like comparing an expensive sony smartphone to a feature-packed china brand smartphone with a cheaper price hehe.

No point comparing electronics stuff as most are made in China now. IPhones, TVs, laptops, and gadgets are all manufactured in China. People care more about the brand and care less where it’s made.

The first-world countries are to blame for China’s success in manufacturing. They made China richer than it could imagine. Years back, almost every big company put their manufacturing plants in China. Of course, China will learn the technology and market them as their own. Now, China companies are buying big foreign companies.

It could have been the Philippines instead of China. However, our dear elected officials are more concerned in pushing their personal agenda than the country. Talk about loyalty. Bahala kayo dyan basta ako magkapera.

Ito yata ang reason why Chinese cars have a max of 1.5L engines.

For PH -> all about the taxes

Pero I read an article earlier (sorry can't find the link) na in China, manufacturers also would get a tax incentive if their car has a 1.5L engine and below. Kaya a lot of their cars are 1.5L tapos either turbo or mild-hybrid to support na lang.

Based on my experience with these Chinese crossovers, they are built well and workmanship is better for a Japanese brand of the same price range.

no complains about Chinese cars. my personal concern is local support.

I've mentioned a million times na for now, the only Chinese car brand I can personally buy is Maxus because its under the AC Industrials.

Kahit anong sabihin ng iba na Chinese yung Territory and (local) VW cars. maayos pa din local backing nya.

Territory will be supported by Ford Philippines and (based on experience) I have no complains with previous experiences owning Hondas and Isuzus

If a sedan costs 1.1M and the Geely Okavango is 1.2M, ano ang pipiliin ng buyer?

IMO, depends on the buyer.

My family as a sample.
I will choose the Sedan, my wife and daughter will choose the Crossover/SUV

if isang isa lang... we will choose the sedan

hmmm, are we getting an all-Turbo line-up for the local Civic? or will Honda PH use Toyota PH's tried and tested formula in using the previous gen's engine line-up?

If Honda keeps the R18, it’ll be their longest running engine spanning at least 15 years and 4 generations of Civic.

Funny though, it was a damn good engine in 2006, but today in 2021 it still is a better engine than what Toyota and Mazda are offering in their compact sedans.

If Vietnam decides to drop the non-Turbo Civic, then there's a high chance the next Civic (locally) will have an all-turbo line-up.

Yep, grabe ang mararating ng bansa natin if we were on their shoes instead but to a lesser extent if size is considered. And regarding domestic politicians, well. Ika-nga, pinoy nagpapahirap sa kapwa pinoy.

here's the thing with us Pinoys...

we prefer imported stuff.

dati, pumunta ako sa car show in Thailand and Malaysia, laki ng banner ng cars nila, either made in Thailand or Malaysia

sa atin, ilang beses natin nakita yung Innova and Vios na naka-display na may malaking banner na made in the Philippines?

wow... the local distributor de-tuned the engine to meet the COE category.

I guess bahala na local Civic owners to cross the boarder to re-tune the engine
