buying a brand new toyota corolla XL

[ssaloon]

and kung mag 17s/18s ka, hirap ka dahil pawis steering ang XL4. at least lalaki biceps mo :D

the best upgrade without sacrificing comfort would be 16s. but personally, i'd keep it on 15s.

Vios ka na lang na 1.3. Bakit daw ba ayaw nila? Naliliitan ba sila? E kung para sa 'yo naman di naman sa kanila (hehehe). Ikaw lang naman ang sasakay at di ka naman magkakarga ng kung anu-ano...

Vios 1.3E is a good buy IMO. Or if you are budget concious, why not try the Vios 1.3J?

according to toyota commonwealth's pricelist halos pareho price ng corolla XL and yung vios 1.3J. imo best buy na yung vios 1.3J great looks + fuel efficient.

Be careful about that pricelist at Toyota Commonwealth's site.It has a virus payload - Redlof.

audiblemcs.com:the question is, mapapapogi ba sya to the point that getting the XL over an altis would be worth it? kasi lahat ng points ni badkuk are the very exact same reasons why they prefer the XL.

damn. now i feel *really* old B).

oo nga maganda yung vios.. taxi yung xl e.. ternohan mo p ng stock na rims ayos! hehe pero kung mapaganda mo mas ok.. may nakita ako xl,pinalitan nya yung bumper nd front humaba ganda nmn,..,

or get a second hand Toyota Echo HB, kung ayaw ng parents mo ng Vios.
or a city circa 1999-2001 matic.

Here are the main points on why you should get a Vios over an XL:

- Power Steering (like what ssaloon said, lalaki muscles mo pag XL la kasi power steering, and you'll appreciate this when parking in tight places and during emergency situations).
- EFI engine (more fuel savings)

These two factors alone should convince your parents in getting a Vios. Kahit yung J variant oks na.

And regarding sa accessories, you don't need a lot of them, a simple wheel upgrade would be enough for the Vios, and if you want to spend more upgrade your sound system but thats another story.

Yeah thats right, whats the big deal with cars.

[TaNgENgot]

tama sir I LuV...simple na lang gawin mo ..tires and sounds na lang up grade mo muna...panalo na iyan ..remember.." simple is beautiful"

Seriously, encourage and convince your folks to get the base Vios 1.3 over the Corolla XL:
- The Vios has the same size as the Corolla but more interior space
- The Vios looks better even if you dont dress it up.
- The Vios has a 1.3L engine, same displacement as the Corolla but with EFI (and its a much newer design... the Corolla engine has been around since the mid 1980's)
- We used to have a 1.3L Corolla LE (1999 model AE111) and it's fuel consumption wasnt really that outstanding IMO... not much different from our 1600 car in the day to day grind. The taxis get good consumption with it only if they make "sakal" the fuel system... not good on the performance and even safety side (mabibitin ka sa arangkada).
- The Corolla 1.3L engine is prone to detonation or "tope".

thanks to everybody who replied and gave feedback. sorry i been away for a while school took up a lot of my time.

well, everybody who suggested to get the Vios over the XL, its too late. my dad went on ahead and bought the car. they got my approval anyway. the XL doesnt look bad at all, imho. and we didnt get the white one, thank God

anyway, i gave it a test drive around the village today. its ok. its exactly like my old car (95 lancer EL) except its new therefore it drives better. less kinks. its not as bad. and its power steering, contrary to what most people said. sayang nga lang hindi na lalaki biceps ko hahaha.

but yeah...we're goin to drive it around the village for a while to break it in, then take it out like after 3 weeks (wala pa kasing registration saka plate number).

anyway, thank you to everybody who came in here and gave suggestions! sorry parang nasayang din yung mga sinulat nyo...im happy with the car tho and can't wait to play around with it!
