Toyota Vios 1.3 J vs Vios 1.3 E

[malcoxx]

Hi Everybody,

I would like your opinion if the spec difference between the two is worth the 81,000 variance.
Based on what I know the big difference are:
(correct me if I am wrong)
Alloy wheels
ABS
TVSS alarm

But the salesmen are promoting the E variant more by giving these away with an all in package.
Meaning you end up paying for the Chattel, LTO and insurance which is about 60k give or take.

Thanks everybody!

The 2011 J variant has all the bells and whistles of the E. the only things AFAIK that the E has that the J doesn't are, mags alloy wheels, Keyless Entry and alarm and some chrome. im not sure about the ABS though.

[malcoxx]

Thanks for the quick reply. ABS according to the website of Toyota wala, so is it worth it without yun? Alloys naman aftermarket ones are between 25-30k na maganda.

a number of people will say the ABS is worth every penny.
as for the rest, you can have the casa retrofit the keyless and alarm, and get the mags elsewhere. you'll save at least 45K..

The ABS is a great thing to have kasi. You never know when you might need it. If you have the money naman, then I'd suggest you get the 1.3E, and then badger them for best deal possible. But at 695k for just the 1.3E M/T, I find it a bit high... Yung Accent 1.4A/T is a much better car, matic na and has a longer warranty pa pero mas mura parin dun.

I picked J over E. Put your savings by adding body kits, 17s mags, chrome door knobs. I'm sure it wil look better over E with more or less the same price.

body kits and chrome door knobs wont save you.. get the one with ABS.. vios have poor braking stability and has tendency for the rear wheels to lock and make the car spin... i drove all vios gen and they are all the same...poor braking

Yun 1.3 J Base. Yun J na all power meron.

You can live without having ABS, of course. My 2 cars don't have them. You just need to make sure that your brakes are checked thoroughly. Brake pads are changed often etc. etc. to have optimum braking performance.

Personally, I would pick the 1.3J over the 1.3E for the reasons stated by GTi.

Sub-700k for a mid-variant vehicle isn't simply worth it.

The 1.3J as itself, is already practical. Especially if you just need a car to bring you from point a to point b without stalling in the trip's duration.

ABS significantly reduces the chances putting your seatbelt and airbag into it's intended use; its well worth the additional price out.

we're going for the 1.3 E before christmas...konti lng naman difference eh, considering that we will be given discounts on E, and none on J.

Thanks! I'm getting a 1.3E M/T this Saturday. Aabot yata ng 50k discount. Freebies: Insurance, LTO, Chattel, Tint, Rustproofing, Seat Cover, Side Visor, 20 L Gas, then may ticket pa daw na bubunutin for additional discount from 5k to 20k. P 13,606 monthly for 5 years. Hope this is a good deal.

Would this be the same look of the 2012 Vios?

Vios J or E? Kahit alin sa dalawa. For me, Vios J. Value for money. Outstanding fuel consumption. Lots of spare parts.

You can buy the J variant, go to Banawe to accessorize, and still would be cheaper than the price of the E variant.

You can still drive safely naman even without ABS. Basta maintenance of the braking system is the key.

Always remember that driving safely is the most important safety factor of all. No amount of safety devices would protect you if you're a reckless, undisciplined driver.

Watch out for that "free" tint, it's cheap. Mine peeled off in 3 months (driver's side).

I beg to differ on this boss. Ask an experienced driver and they will always harp at the importance of ABS. Just because you're not driving fast or recklessly, it doesn't mean you won't need it. Even in traffic at 20 to 40kph, all it takes is a wet road, some gravel or oil and a idiot to cut the car in front of you to force a panic stop in the line, and your brakes will lock. The additional money out for ABS is money well spent and better than spending for all the accessories and abubots in Banawe with the money saved.
