Guys, inquire lang which car you think is best? It's going to be used primarily for city driving.
Variants:
Fiesta: 1.4 Hatch (Kung may manual sana na "sports" yun na sana kaso wala.)
Vios 1.5G M/T (Proven to be reliable and the roomiest of the bunch. Only thing i don't like is there's too many of them on the road already)
Jazz 1.3 M/T (Medyo mataas price niya compared sa Fiesta pero is it worth it?)
Reason for choosing M/T. Fuel Consumption and maintenance. Gagamitin din ng youngest brother ko and mag aaral pa lang siya mag drive this sem break.
Criteria:
Good F/C
Aircon! Malamig na malamig dapat! eto pinaka importante para sakin. Medyo na disappoint ako sa fiesta nung tinesting ko yung aircon kasi parang ang hina o ako lang yun?
Mantenance (Which one is cheaper to maintain?)
Reliability
Ride comfort
Power (Ok, not much to expect here but it's nice to know which of the three can give you the thrill we sometimes look for.)
If you can post advantages/disadvantages of the three, it will be most appreciated.
Currently scheduled to test drive the Fiesta. Vios and Jazz na testing ko na thanks to friends.
I agree with tidus.. Malamig ang aircon ng fiesta.. Mayroon Jazz ka diba.... I learned from a friend, na hindi maganda ang upuan ng jazz... sakit agad ang katawan mo after a long drive...
Pero one thing I don't like with the Fiesta... Hindi ganoon kaluwag ang 2nd row.. Feeling ko mas maluwag pa ang Getz..
Vios is what I'll recommend for you, since your younger brother would also be using it to practice driving it's the best choice, "A1 Driving" uses the Vios for their student drivers....
Maintenance is the cheapest of the bunch, just use Toyota Regular Motor Oil at 5,000 KM intervals and you'll save lots of money.
Reliabilty: "400,000 miles or 640,000 kilometers" and still going strong; Die-hard drivers: 200,000 miles and up - Toyota Yaris: 400,000 miles (5) - CNNMoney.com
Aircon: Cold enough but just below the 2011 Corolla Altis which is by far the coldest Aircon I've had ever experienced....
Ride comfort: Ok, just don't put big mags and low profile tires on it.....
Power: Vios has the advantage here bigger displacement, and even better with the Manual Transmission
Vios spells PRACTICALLY. Value for money. Cheaper maintenance also. The hordes of units out there in the streets supports more 3rd party sellers of car parts and consumables.
If you do not want to go pedestrian, then be sure you have the moolah to back it up.
