07 Fortuner vs 2013 vios

Get an Avanza if you cannot afford a bnew Innova.

Kung diesel at 08 <-- facelifted Fort sana. Fort ako all the way. Vios na lang as per the TS choices.

Kung baha lang ang problema, get a secondhand Adventure or Crosswind. Either of which has less stuff that can be damaged in a flood. Replacement ECUs for flooded Fortuners are expensive.

Of course, a Fortuner IS a better anti-flood vehicle than a Vios, but discretion is the better part of valor. I learned my lesson the hard way a looooooong time ago (way back in 2001), and despite our house going four feet underwater three times in the past few years, I have not lost another car to a flood. (Except the pick-up, but I let that get flooded because it was carbureted and had no interior, anyway... just hosed it out and no problem...)

I will surely go for a FORT...yung looks ng vios madaling ma laos unlike Fort.. and yung pang ilalin ng fort mas tatagal compare to vios. so kahit mas matanda na yung fort compare sa brand new vios mo for 5passenger mas tatagal pa din fort

Get the fort! Mas mahal maintenance ng vios. Disposable kasi ang suspension.

Parang sobrang gamit naman po ng fort. 70k? then after a year or so, lalabas na yung mga sira niyan so you have to prepare for maintenance. Also, 2.7 VVt-i pa siya, medyo malakas sa gas. But the good thing is, since you're 5, comfortable kayo since SUV siya, also it has more cargo space. On the other hand, the brand new vios, parang hindi rin naman po sa inyo fit yung vios dahil madami kayo. Baka ilang years pa lang, bumigay na siya. Why don't you consider innova/adventure?? Mas okay sila since hindi naman nagkakalayo ang price nila.

Fort 2.7VVTi halos regular pms lang yan at matibay ang pang ilalim ang likod nyan solid axle rear wheel drive hindi kagaya ng CUV, CRV, Xtrail, Santafe etc (kaya nga medyo matagtag yan), yung harap independent suspension pero dahil sa 4x2 lang sya wala sya velocity joints at dahil SUV sya heavy duty suspension nya so kung sa city mo lang ginagamit parang yung sakin halos maintenance free pang ilalim.

Konsumo naman halos parehas lang ng Revo na gas at CRV 2nd gen baka mas matipid pa kasi sakin mas matipid kesa dating Xtrail ko. Matibay pati gas engine ng toyota master nila yan.

thanks sa lahat ng mga inputs and opinions mga sir!laking tulong for me.nacheck ko na records ng fort sa casa and true since day 1 casa maintained na.so mejo kampante na din ako. regarding sa parts and maintenance, paghahandaan ko na lan yun bulk expense pag palit ng belt/waterpump/etc pag abot ng 90k kms so may time to save up.

we decided fort over vios due to its size since we are family of 5. plus since its well taken care of, it and we pray give us a good 2 years of no worries. thanks again for all the inputs. next step for me is to look for shops which can have it serviced(change oil etc) and where to have the aircon cleaned(since tanggal dashboard yun)..

Congrats on your new ride!

kaedadan lang yan ng sasakyan ko at wala pa naman problem yung akin, maintained naman kasi. Powertorq motorworks at Congressional is a trusted shop when it comes to car maintenance services.
