    The accent CRDi looks cool, the Rio hatch looks cool as well. the new vios looks cool as well.. But easy maintenance would still be toyota's edge. So I'd say I'd go with the vios. But if you want to be cool and at the same time save fuel expenses take the CRDi.

    I'd go for the Vios especially the 1.5 variant. Fuel efficiency plus power, easy to maintain and you won't have a hard time looking for parts (and the parts doesn't cost as much as the other brand mentioned). also take into consideration the resale value of toyota compared to the other brands mentioned (in case you want to sell it in the future and get a newer model, mas madali ibenta). Not to mention the reliability of toyota and it has been tested for many years already in our country's road and weather conditions. But then again that's just my opinion

    Accent if CRDi then Vios.

    i have a vios 2nd gen and it is awesome, i also like the accent based on the way it looks and feedback. ingat lang sa gas na accent at rio malakas ata sila sa fuel at 1.4l

    Do you know how to change a flat tyre? Joke lang ..

    Get the Vios, its your first car diba? For reliabilty and ease of maintenace, a Toyota wins.

    If you're going to use the car as a daily driven city car and maintain the car outside the case then get the vios. The parts availability for the Vios just makes it a lot easier to maintain outside the casa not to mention cheaper. On another note, I think the new Vios still has the old engine. Make sure to stick with the PMS since the old engine used could produce sludge if not maintained properly. But if you're going to use the car for the occasional out of town trips, or planning on modifying the car for more power, and having the car maintained with the casa then get the accent crdi. A turbo charged engine mated to a 6 speed transmission for 800k~ should not be ignored and be bought by any "real" man - IMMEDIATELY . Just make sure you negotiate with the S.A. that the PMS be mileage based and not time based (3-month PMS schedule of Hyundai sucks).
