 Honda Civic
While the Honda Civic may have seen a redesign in 2012, the new model fell short of meeting the expectations of discerning small-car shoppers. That’s because while the market moved toward more refinement, sophistication, and features, the Civic kept it basic—perhaps too basic. With that in mind, Honda's 2013 Civic has seen yet another redesign, this time with a more sophisticated look, better technology, better materials, more features, and more refinement.
Although the 2013 Civic is really just a mid-cycle refresh, it’s one of the most substantial we've seen, and it arguably completely changes the look and feel of the vehicle. From the outside, the Accord-influenced exterior does indeed cast the Civic in a new light from the outside. With a front-end look that clearly follows the Accord’s face, as well as a new ‘open-mouth’ lower bumper, horizontal chrome accent, and black honeycomb mesh grille—as well as integrated fog lamps for the upper trims and new clear-lens cornering lamps (plus a chrome finishing bar in back and new Accord-like rear bumper design), the Civic looks more sophisticated from the outside. Inside, Honda hasn't completely redesigned the funky contours of the instrument panel, but it’s redone pretty much all of the materials and surfaces, subbing in requisite soft-touch dash materials.

 Toyota Vios
If you’re looking for a car to buy and your budget is quite limited, you might want to check out the new Toyota Vios 2013. The new Vios will be officially launched in the Philippines in July but you’ll be able to see the actual stuff in June in Toyota dealerships nationwide. We all know that the Toyota Vios is a budget car, at least compared to the compact sedans like the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic. The Vios is about the same price as the other sub-compact sedan from Honda, the City.
The new Toyota Vios 2013 is 4,410mm long, 1,700mm wide and 1,475mm tall and has a wheelbase of 2,550mm. If it appears longer and taller than the previous model, it’s because it is. The width and wheelbase of the previous Vios is however retained. Apart from the change in styling, however, the Vios is mainly the same since it still features a 1.5-liter 1NZ-FE DOHC 16-valve VVT-i gasoline engine with an choice of either a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic transmission. There will be size variants of the Philippine version of the new Vios.
