Yes meron ng Fiesta dito sa Pilipinas... And I will own both the Fiesta (eto sa Oct. 16 ko pa makukuha pero na test drive ko na) and Yaris (2 years na sya sakin) and I can tell you the Fiesta is so way more fun to drive. Mas madami ding features than the Yaris. The Yaris is cheaper though... But the Fiesta has more value even though its more expensive dahil sa engine and transmission pa lang lamang na lamang na sa Yaris.

Sedan or hatch? Its your choice, its a matter of taste. In general I prefer hatch cause they look more cool than sedans...

My vote is for the Toyota Yaris.

Ford Fiesta ...

My vote is for the Toyota Yaris.

Why would you pick a Yaris over a Fiesta?? I am curious. Having driven both and soon to own both the Fiesta is the unanimous winner. The Yaris has several advantages over a Fiesta namely a taller headroom in the 2nd row and a slightly roomier legroom in the 2nd row but that's really about it... And of course the price, but then you're getting a lesser car...

Yaris FC on my experience is a very good 13km/L... No idea on the Fiesta pero sa US EPA estimated mas mataas ang highway ng Fiesta sa Yaris pero city mileage pareho lang... Must be the 1.6L engine and the 6 speed DCT that helped its highway mileage...

What Fiesta has the Yaris does not. A LOT!

First of all the Fiesta is way more fun to drive. More composed, more sharp, much less fake. The EPS of the Yaris feels so dull and fake. Atsaka mas matagtag ang yaris kaysa Fiesta. EVen with the Fiesta's sport tuned suspenion mas smooth parin sya...

Second, goodies like bluetooth and voice command. USB is standard. Yaris is AUX only. Trip computers, fuel computers are all standard in the Fiesta. And that very cool multi-info display in the center. Tells you a lot of info and warnings...

Third and the most important of all is the Powertrain itself. You get a 1.6L engine with 120HP and 151NM of torque pair that with a 6 speed dual clutch tranny that drives like an automatic but ang swabe sobra ng shifting walang shift shock and as one of the test drivers at the Fiesta thread noted you would;t even realized it shifted unless you look at the tachometer. The Yaris has the 1.5L 1NZ-FE. 107HP and 142Nm of torque and madted with a typical 5 speed manual or an old school 4 speed automatic. But to be fair to the Yaris, I still feel it has the better low end torque. The Fiesta likes to rev or so it felt when I test driven it. Maybe the particular unit was always revved and the ECU has adjusted to that style...

Fourth, the Fiesta just looks better. Euro hot hatch talaga!

The red Vios 1.3E AT sounds like a perfect choice for this.

Helios Yellow na Jazz FTW!
Big interior for the missus' shopping bags, more than enough room for the stroller if may babies na, and even for the mountain bike!
