Honda City Vs Toyota 121

fairly · April 21, 2011

Appreciate anyone's advise on this.

I have seen a Honda City 2003 late registered (imported brand new and one owner) and also a Corolla 121. Many advised not to go for a Honda City as the second hand market is very dull and I will be stuck with the car and also that the parts are really expensive and suggested to go for a 121 instead.

Anyone's opinion is greatly appreciated.

Honda city is not a bad one.But if you consider the resale value, spare parts,comfort and the more space in the cabin.better leg room. and front view..I would say you should go for 121. :rolleyes:

121'a are rock solid cars,, mechanically.

The city is not sharing the same level of build as a civic and is known to give trouble after a 4-5 years. (for old models)

Good choice mate!

I have a couple of questions, Are all Honda City's assembled in India?

I've also heard that some 121's with leather seats etc. are imported from Singapore, are they also assembled in sing? :unsure:

Thanks mate. Finally ended up with a unregistered Axio X. Managed to get at a bargain price even after the duty hike. I am happy with it. However still struggling to get into terms with the audio/video screen as the instructions are in Japanese....

I have seen that some of the ppl saying that they r not considering the resale value since they are looking to use for a long period. Bt my recommendation to consider it very hardly. Then u wont never worry abt that. For a simple example i had two friends one who has purchased Nissan caravan at 7 lakhs and other frnd purchased Mazda VAN 5 lakhs. Person who has caravan can sale his vehicle now at least 24 lakhs. Other can sale it 9-10 i guess.so see the difference.

WOW some logic you got there.

Resale value doesn't effect a vehicle of the same make and model any differently.

For an instance a two people who buy an allion for the same price will probably sell the car for an equal amount, however if one buys a Hyundai or any other unpopular brand for the same price as an allion he will have to sell for a lower price.

So are you saying that if the market value of vehicle is 24 lakhs someone who doesn't consider resale value will sell his vehicle for 7 lakhs ? Not considering resale value is one thing but being stupid and being good at is a totally different thing
