VIOS 1.5 S A/T - Php805,000.00
VIOS 1.5 S M/T - Php770,000.00

City 1.5 E AT - PHP 806,000.00 ( I think this price does not reflect the Php 10,000 or so price increase)

Wow their price is close!

The Vios S has a nicer mag wheels and some other addt'l to the body like the duck spoiler. If its Vios, I'd get the 1.5G instead of S. I don't need the magwheels and besides those low profile tires are not suitable to rutted and potholled roads.

Personally, I haven't driven the 1.5E City but I'm a bit apprehensive of the i-VTEC engine or any vtec derived engine. I'm not a big fan of redlining engines and for VTEC, power only comes at near red line rpm. Just imagine what kind of fuel consumption rate you will if you have to redline it just to squeeze power out of it. A handful of reviews (abroad and local) complains of this lack of grunt esp. when overtaking.

Overall its still Vios 1.5 for me and you can still get Php 30,000 on the G. I dont think they discount the S. Btw, Honda does not discount in fact they just increased prices by Php 10,000.00
