avanza vs vios

[Syuryuken]

Oo nga ayaw mo ng Hyundai? Getz or Matrix with CRDI engine.

Good luck, bro. Kung 5-seater din lang ang bagsak mo, ayaw mo ba ng Hyundai?

Thanks. Toyota na ko. Ganda ng mga promo. Free 1yr comprehensive insurance, pwede trade in ng cefiro ko, may 20k pang trade in certificate pa on top of trade in value, easy financing terms up to 72 months. Hard to resist. If cash purchase may additional discounts pa yata.

Also, ayaw wife ko ng Getz. Eh siya gagamit nito so mahirap na kung di siya happy with the car. Lastly, I think Vios resale value will be better than gas na getz.

That much is likely to be true. Good luck, post pics.

payo lang if it's for the wife, dont get a "hot" car lalo na yun ginagawa pang-taxi. think of her security too. kung para sayo ok lang.

Went to world of toyota today with wife and kids. Unanimous decision Avanza. Vios was a tight fit and my wife and I and even the kids really prefered the Avanza. So we put a reservation on it. Still don't know how much but according to the sales rep should be within 10% of the vios. Hopefully will get it by Nov.

Told my wife that she will be using a taxi.

Good choice. So what if it's gonna be used for taxi, only an issue for insecure people...

was able to take a glance sa avanza kanina dyan sa reclamation. (bigla may nag-text kaya di ako nagtagal).

impressive exterior, pero interior dont like talaga. mukang okey iporma eto ah maganda tindig. yun na nga lang kung gagawin talaga pang-taxi, mahirap din kasi aagawin talaga yan.

I agree with Psylocke's comment! I wonder why people make a big issue out of it na e.g. di ok ang Vios cuz ginagawang taxi.

Cuz kung ganun tayo magisip, I guess di ok Camry cuz taxi yun sa Taiwan (police car na ren), or E-class at Volvo V70 cuz taxi naman sya sa Germany, or Sonata cuz taxi sya sa Korea.

Besides, kung nanakawin auto mo, mangyayari at mangyayari yun.

The Avanza feels like an Mitsu Adventure, very cramped inside! It feels like Vios that has been extended upwards. Its ground clearance is not noticeably higher (an impt criteria when considering the serious floods we have), especially when compared to the Innova.

I do wish they put that nicer four spoke steering wheel on the Innova J.

I just noticed it now, no head unit even on the top of the line 1.5 series automatic tranny version. Maybe Toyota's still deciding what kind of HU to put in there.

Im also a vios owner I dont mind it being a Taxi, regarding naman na paboritong e carnap well cguro mas may dahilan ang mga expensive cars owners na matakot ma carnap o carjacking..

I guess it really depends on where you live and how careful you are (no super-late trips... no driving to out-of-the-way ATMs or on remote overpasses/underpasses)... I still don't know anyone who's been carnapped.

RE: Taxi issue. Probably a non-issue. It's actually easier to sell a car that can be converted into a taxi (puwede na ba ulit magka-bagong line sa secondhand?)... but I don't see the taxi issue affecting Corolla or Vios resale values.

We really dont mind the taxi issue. My view is if it can survive the rigors of taxi use then it must be strong and reliable. Taxi are used 24 hours a day and rack up more kms in a year than our cars do in its lifetime. Plus if it will become a popular taxi unit then it will have lots of parts outside the stealership.

As for theft, she does not do super-late trips... no driving to out-of-the-way ATMs or on remote overpasses/underpasses. She also has a driver and I will install an alarm with starter kill. There is also comprehensive insurance. If it will be stolen then the bank will still be paid.

It is smaller and lower compared to an innova. But I did not want to risk getting a D4D. We did not want to get a gas innova bec of the high fuel prices.

We just have to decide on which version to get. 1.3 MT, 1.5MT or 1.5 AT. Cant decide cause we dont know how much it is. I want the 1.3 for fuel efficency since it will be a city car. She wants the 1.5AT so she can also drive if needed. What do you think is the better choice?

Japanese premium cars nakawin talaga. But so are more common mom and pop vehicles (due to easy disposal). Mga Europeans lang halos ang hindi masyadong ninanakaw.

toyota avanza is nice, sana magkaroon ng diesel variant... kahit 1.5L crdi turbo engine naka-kabit like the ones used by hyundai matrix and accent...
