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.

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.

Not bad. The 17" TRD rim + Bridgestone tyres are worth well more than that.

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?

Side skirt i think. Mags lang talaga yung nagpapa-sulit.

Kung ganoon, tama ka mags palang sulit na. May diff kaya sa comfort, tagtag o sa overall ride and fuell efficiency pag TRD mags na ?yung spare tire kaya nito trd nadin ? Sensya na sa madaming tanong mga sirs. Sobrang curious ko ngayon sa altis at nakaka tempt lang hehehe. 60% - 70% highway drive ako via slex kaya most of the time highway dadaanan ko, Sporatge AT ko kasi ave 9 kl/ltr highway na... tancha ko sa 1.6at ng altis maka 11- 12 kl/l ako nyan more or less. Hmmmmm....

I'm running 215/50R17 tyres with my 2012 Altis (on 36psi at that) and comfort is okay. You'll get around 11-12km/L on the highway with yours; city driving maybe 8-9km/l. With my m/t, im averaging 9.5-10.5 km/L in the city, 11-12km/L mix, and 14km/L highway.

If you ask me, I'd get the Altis, simply said its ....... MORE CAR FOR THE MONEY!

To hell with all that "brand-new-look" talk ........

Eventually, maluluma din naman yung car so always buy one that gives you more in the long run.
