Yaris 1.5 M/T or Vios 1.3 M/T?

[jennivivs]

Hi,
I hope you guys could help me decide between Yaris 1.5 M/T and Vios 1.3 M/T.
I have read forums about the Vios 1.3 M/T and considering all your ideas, it's a pretty good car but I have not read anything about Yaris 1.5 M/T. I like the looks of the Yaris, fits for a lady, but I'm not sure if it's reliable as the Vios.
I would greatly appreciate feedback from you guys.
Thank you very much.

Same engine series and transmission. Same reliability.

The Yaris is a nicer car.

Its basically the same car with a different shell. The Vios is sold in the US as the Yaris sedan. There are some Vios 1.5G taxis as well, so reliability can definitely be guaranteed. Take note though, that the Yaris is one cramped car.

The Vios and Yaris both have small-ish back seats compared to the Jazz/Fit and Accent... but at least you can recline the Yaris rear seats.

...also take note that the 2012 Yaris has been released already. Not sure though when it will reach our shores...

How would you compare a car with 1.5 engine vs one with 1.3 engine? I go for Yaris!

hello ms jennivivs, may i know which car you've ended up buying if you already bought one?

I'm a new driver, just learned to drive weeks ago and I'm about to buy my 1st car. And as expected i know nothing about cars! This thread is really helpful as i'm also considering the same options since i have a friend who works for them. I want unbiased opinion though. My main consideration is fuel efficiency coz if it's not that different i'd go for the yaris.

thanks!
