2013 Vios 1.5G MT or Current Altis 1.6G MT

[Daison77]

My cousin is asking me if which of the two ang mas better choice than the other. With discounts, the altis 1.6G M/T ay same price lang if not a bit lower that the new vios 1.5e M/T. I too am planning to get a 1.3 vios mt sa dec. Napaisip tuloy ako sa sinabi nya. Kaya lang namin naisip altis is bec of the discounts ngayon for the current gen.

Im not really sure kung mas durable and altis over the vios given na well maintained naman over the years, or mas prestige lang ang dating kpag altis ka ... i dunno cuz i have'nt owned one yet nor driven any if the two cars. Syempre isip nya is fuel efficiencg 50% hwy and 50% city driving sya, durability in the long run, and syempre resale value in the future. MT talaga gusto namin parehas na variant. Opinions sir will be very much appriciated.

If I have to buy now... I would choose the VIOS.

I would go with the Altis.

The only edge that the Vios has over the Altis is that it's newer. But that's just me. The current Altis just moves like a much bigger car. Which is a plus factor for me, yet is very efficient in its ways.

But I suggest you test drive and feel what you want better.

it depends on you.

would you prefer a smaller but newer car with better fuel efficiency or
a tested bigger and more powerful car, but older.

personally, i would prefer the latter....

I was in this situation back in 2007; the new Vios was just intro'd while they we're winding down the production of the 9.5 generation Altis. I could get either a 1.6L Altis J at a good discount or a 1.3E/1.5G new Vios. I decided on the Altis due to it's being a bigger car overall and you'd still see better interior material quality over the Vios when you take it apart.

RIght now, unless you really value fuel efficiency, i'd most likely still get the current gen 10.5 Altis (1.6L, bigger space, better comfort and a 6-speed m/t). The 1.6E gets around 9-10km/L in the city with my daily use. Mix city-highway is around 11++ while majority highway gets me 14+.

Appriciate the input guys. Havent driven any of them yet except for company car 1.3 vios j manual na 2005 nabili 2nd hand. But nakasakay nako on the altis. Parang mas malaki altis sa tingin ko interior wise... and mas sturdy and durable ang altis "opinion ko lang po", no ill intentions or discrimination to vios owners, on the other hand naka pasok nako sa new vios showroom nga lang and it really looks good specially the black interior, test drive nalang kulang. Para saakin 60% vios ang mas pabor ako sa ngayon, but napapaisip lang ako dito sa altis baka mas sulit ako in the long run tipong 5 -10yrs bago ibenta hehehehe.

+1 on the Altis

[brainmafia_310]

in case i have the money and have the luxary to foot for the gas bill, i would go for the altis.

i am happy with my vios by the way.

[jeffvasquez28]

+1 on altis

[_Qwerty_]

laki difference nang 2nd row nang altis vs vios..

[renzo_d10]

Even though I own the previous gen Vios, I would still pick the Altis. It's a whole lot different than the Vios. Just the comfort and space, makes your money's worth already.

I've gotta admit. The Vios, especially the back row, is far from being comfortable.

[Tunaflakes]

+1 on the Altis as well.

[crave]

I'll get the Altis in a heartbeat over the 3rd gen Vios.

[Walter]

Altis. Bigger, better.

I'm in the same situation right now. Bigay sakin sa altis trd 50k discount so bale 864k nalang. Pero the new altis is coming this december.

Oo nga sir eh. Kung papasok man ang new altis this yr or 2014 sigurado wala naman ganito kalaking discounts like sa current gen altis. And hindi pa tayo sure kung may increase si.a sa price due to changes or improvement ng new vehicle... hmmmm.. may isang 2 mos pa naman ako para mag decide.

Nakaka tempt lang kasi yung dating gusto ko na nde ko kaya nuon, ngayon striking distance na. Pero may all new vios din na dumating ngayon na nakaka temp din kasi modelong modelo pa ... kumbaga sa ano eh... batang bata ang vios ngayon at sariwa pa hehehehehehehe

Altis for me. Kung may FMC nga na altis this year, laki ng possibility na it would come with a price increase, tapos wala pang malaking discounts. May spy shots na ba ang bagong altis?

This is the 1.6 m/t version (G variant in TRD trim)? The rims are nice too.

The Altis is wider too.

[Mikemike07]

Altis if he needs the space. Vios if he doesnt. Tsaka masmataas resale value ng vios. Well subcompacts generally have better resale than compacts talaga.

[uwak18]

1.6 G a/t trim. So dagdag 10k lang trd na . Plus the additional 50k discount.
