    Hello po mga Sir/Maam

    Hingi lang po ako ng suggestions and opinions mula sa inyo. Supposedly dapat bibili na kami ng Vios na 1.3E A/T tomorrow, but unfortunately wala daw available units sa dealer na malapit sa amin (Pampanga). Sabi ng SA sa amin dito sa pampanga, wala daw units na available and hindi sila makapag commit kung kailan may dadating na bago stocks, sa cabanatuan naman, we were told na na hindi sila pwede magbenta sa mga taga pampanga due to territorial reasons. Ayaw din naman kasi namin bumili sa mga dealer na masyado na malayo. Medyo nakakadisappoint kasi sobra excited ka bumili at may pambili ka na tapos wala ka naman mabilhan na malapit.

    As of now ang malapit na car dealers sa amin is Ford,Mitsubishi,Toyota,Honda, Hyundai and Mazda. Suggest naman po kayo ng pwede ipampalit sa Vios 1.3E M/T in terms of pagiging matipid and reliable car, and no offense po sa mga Accent people, hindi po siya kasama sa mga ideal car namin dahil sa mga nababasa namin na engine issue niya, nagtest drive na rin ang dad ko last week and bigla ba naman siya itirik nung car after kumalog ng konti yung engine, but personally cute ang accent

    Hope you can share some thoughts naman po. Thank you in advance

    anong territorial pinagsasabi nila? kalokohan pwede ka bumili kahit saan lupalop sa Pilipinas.

    Honda city? ewan ko kung matipid pero yan ang parang counterpart ng Vios sa Honda.

    Matipid naman po. I'm getting an average of 15.2km/liter on my 2009 Honda City 1.3S A/T. Medyo pricey lang yung unit pero ang tipid po nya sa gas. If you're in Honda Pampanga, look for Ruth Lanuza. Siya yung SA na nag assist sa akin. Mabait and maayos kausap.

    TS Apple, taga pampanga din ako and yan din ang sinabi sa aking nga mga SA from Toyota Pampanga, ang meron lang daw sila eh yung display units. Sobra inis nga ako nun kasi matapos ko ipaasikaso yung financing application ko bigla ba naman sabihin sa akin na walang definite day sila maibibigay kung kelan magkakaroon ng unit, pero nung una kaming mag usap nung SA ang sabi daw eh readily available ang unit. So as of now try ko maghanap sa ibang dealer like Mandaluyong muna, pero as per car model, baka gusto mo rin po icheck yung honda city 1.3S AT or Mazda 2. Hope this helps

    Beyond budget na po kung Honda City na 1.3S A/T, maximum lang po namin is 750k including yung pang insurance at lto registration... But thanks po ng marami sa suggestion.

    Hindi po ba parang niloko na kayo nung SA niyo since pinaprocess na muna kayo tapos bigla sasabihin na wala available unit, kahit sino naman po siguro talagang maiinis sa mga ganyang SA. Thank you po sa suggestion.

    Parang hindi nga po alam nung nakausap ko yung pinagsasabi niya, ilang beses ko na sinabi na wala available units sa Pampanga dealer, pilit pa rin niya ako nirerefer sa Toyota Pampanga. So kinausap nalang namin yung manager ata yun, tapos ang sabi naman niya sa brother ko may territorial reason kaya hindi sila pwede magbenta sa mga taga pampanga.

    as far as you concern about the reliability and fuel efficiency, check this out, I hoping that it can help you decide other than your first choice (VIOS) although kasama din ang vios dito

    http://www.topgear.com.ph/features/f...he-philippines

    may be you can pick Ford Focus 2.0 TDCi MT consuming only a single liter of diesel on an 18 -20 km run, another good choice is the hyundai accent CRDI, ok rin ang efficiency since it is also powered by a crdi diesel engine, matulin pa ^_^, Honda City and the Honda Jazz are the fuel economizer cars in the line up of honda. siguro mga 13-18km ata per liter sabi ng classmate ko.

    Ano kaya yang kalokohan about territory? ayaw yata nila magkapera eh? Hindi ko type ang Vios E. Sobrang dami na sa daan at panay taxi pa. Too bad you had a bad experience with the Accent, it is actually a very good car. Very worth the money IMHO. Second hand po OK sa inyo? There would be a lot more options for you in the 2nd hand market.

    Just an update po, me and my brother went to Honda and check on the City 1.3S, interior is good pero medyo hindi talaga appealing sa amin yung exterior niya but it is a very good car all in all. Did check on the new Fiesta as well and personally I like it pero ayaw ni kuya,finally we went to mazda for the mazda 2 sedan pero parang naliliitan kami sa kanya. We went back to Toyota and was able to talk with a different SA, and this time, we were told na there is a possibility for us to acquire a black 1.3e matic vios, so agad na kaming nag pareserve.There is already an available red and thermalyte units na kakadeliver lang but we still opted to wait for a week or two for the black color. I guess vios talaga ang car na para sa amin, I'm not saying na inferior yung ibang brand pero mas at ease kami sa pagpili ng vios. Thank you po sa lahat ng nagbigay ng feedbacks. God bless.

    You made the right choice. Sakto lang sa budget nyo and Vios is fuel efficient car.

    Congrats on your new ride.

    We also have the Vios of my in-laws serviced there in Toyota SFO (even if i insist na hindi na kailangan and pwede na rin sa Motech since wala na sa warranty yung car). Better to schedule ahead always as it gets packed; being the only Toyota dealer in the Pampanga area.
