[buknoy2002]

more of bahay office bahay (with my wife_) vehicle pag weekdays. pag weekends pang pasyal with my 2 kids 10 & 7.

do you think underpowerd ang avanza J?

Avanza J. It's much more versatile, and the Vios is just too damn small. I mean, hindi na ako kasya sa likod ng Vios (sayad ulo sa kisame). I'm not even that tall (5'10") to be considered "big".

The Avanza J is probably slightly underpowered, but not too much that it won't get you up hills fully loaded (besides, that's unsafe and unroadworthy).

thnx for the reply

just noticed something...

both are 1.3 vvti... but the engine models are different the avanza has a kksomething engine code...

[uwak18]

I'll get the Avanza J. Konti lang idadagdag mas malaki pa. And if house-work-house lang and pasyal lang sa mall over the weekends. Ok na Avanza.

[badkuk]

hmmm..i find it hard to argue against the flexibility the avanza offers...

[space invader]

halos pareho lang itong dalwa..

Vios J and Avanza J:
parehas na bare models
parehas na 1.3 engine,
parehas na manual transmission
parehas din ng passenger capacity (5 people)
*sa avanza pwede ka pa magpalagay ng ng third row seat para maging 7 ang passengers mo.

Sa price lang nagkatalo,
Price:
Avanza J: 582,000.00
Vios J: 553,000

I recommend that you go for the Avanza. You can carry a lot more things in there compared to the Vios, which is relatively smaller...

They're different engines indeed. The main difference lies in layout. The Vios has its engine mounted transversely (cross-wise), while the Avanza's engine sits in longnitudally (lengthwise).

The Avanza and the Vios are hardly the same vehicle. Of all the things you listed, you forgot the most important part: space. The space the Avanza has to offer is a) more and b) is a lot more useful. This alone makes the extra P30k worth it.

Other than that, the Avanza is rear-wheel-drive, the Vios is front-wheel drive, which has handling, fuel economy and maintenance implications.

However, the Avanza is taller, so it's not exactly the most car-like car to drive.

Then there's the looks. The Vios is very cute, especially in that orange color, while I find the Avanza's rear end to be very... I dunno.

Given the choice though, I'll take the Avanza anyday. In the blue color please.

Go for the avanza, the space would be useful during weekend "gimmicks"!

[buknoy2002]

actually vios j talaga plano ko na bilhin...

but when i saw the avanza j and conti lang difference, medyo nag isip ako. ang worry ko lang talaga e baka under powered yung avanza j. kasi 1.3 engine, tapos around 100kg heavier(sa gross weight) yng avanza vs. the vios.

do you think under powered sya pag 7 passengers ?

kaya pa rin kya nito umakyat ng baguio?

[louie0625]

kaya yan paps, bago naman yung auto eh..kung yun ngang mga kia pride eh, nakaka-akyat ng baguio eh, yan pa kayang avanza..

[niky]

As usual... depende nalang kung anong kailangan mo.

The Avanza 1.3J is more useful, pero medyo pangit yung interior niya compared to the Vios. The Vios has better handling, roadholding and active safety (active meaning accident avoidance). Plus, I still like the Vios's styling better. I do like the exterior of the Avanza, but the carved in fender flaring is a turn-off. It's an attempt to give the slab-sided Avanza more shape, but it ends up looking weird (although it's even weirder and more obviously desperate on the Hiace).

But the Avanza holds much more... heck, most other subcompacts are already bigger than the Vios anyway... even the Koreans. And it's still much cuter than other AUVs... plus it's unibody (!) which means it's not too heavy and should have reasonably good chassis stiffness and crash dynamics.

Pwede ba pang bangbus ang avanza?

[wulf]

guys, what if it's the avanza vs the 1.3 honda city? a friend of mine wants to buy the city to upgrade his old honda civic and because he just had his first baby. i told him to consider the avanza instead although medyo honda fan siya

(my apologies to the threadstarter, don't mean to hijack this thread )

[IMm29]

yep, it would really depend on what you prioritize. if it's space, then you should get the AUV/MPV-ish Avanza. if you value a more car-like experience and could sacrifice space, take the Vios.

[niky]

RE: City: great space for a little car, definitely more useful than the Vios, and the trunk is huge.

There have been reported trim problems (most notably the dash) and rattles may come out after a while, but these are minor. Mechanically, so far, the car is sound.

Again, like the Vios, it feels more special and solid inside than the Avanza, but, ultimately, has less space. It will be cheap to run (10,000 km service interval instead of 5,000 kms) and it gets terrific fuel economy, especially compared to the Avanza.

The Avanza is still bigger, though.

Pwede ba pang bangbus ang avanza?

bangbus.,.,.medyo masikit to for that purpose,,hehe

go for avanza its more better in terms of space and ground clearance(considering the weather),, am consideringdin to get avanza bec of these reasons,

[mazdamazda]

If you ask me, I'd pick the Vios over the Avanza anytime.

The Vios will outclass (acceleration, handling, ride quality, fuel consumption, etc.) the Avanza on all aspects save for ground clearance, seating capacity & cargo rom. It is your call though which you would prioritize.

Though for my money I'd rather spend it on a Kia Rio.

depende po tlaga sa pag gagamitan. kung d naman po kailangan ung 3rd row seat ng avanza then vios nalang po

[tonarel]

Pwede ba pang bangbus ang avanza?
