    I'll go with the Toyota Vios just because it looks better than the City.

    The City & Vios doesn't have a significant advantage or disadvantage over each other... it all boils down to its looks really.

    The Aveo Sedan is also kinda decent... though its only advantage is having airbags & ABS.

    honda city - spaceous daw sabi ng tropa ko pero para kasi di proportion design gusto ko pa ung city type Z

    toyota vios - kakaiba din yung out side nya although maganda interior,, di bagay yung taillamps sa head lamp di proportion design much better pa ung naunang design ng vios malakas appeal

    Chev Aveo - parang revise optra looks appealing good interior sporty

    I would suggest the Vios also, pero for me, you can also consider the Avanza.

    sa FC, lamang ng konti ang Vios sa Avanza
    ride: lamang ang Vios kaysa sa Avanza
    flexibility (people/cargo) lamang ang Avanza
    clearance/ride height: lamang ang Avanza
    looks: Subjective, pero sa new Vios ako.
    maintenance: basically the same
    blings, upgrades, accessories: lamang ang avanza :D

    i'll go for the new Vios. ganda ng looks nya parang baby camry. at the same time, spaceous narin interior nya.

    i don't like yung ride ng city. medyo matagtag for me using yung stock tires and rims nya. for me, mas matagtag pa sya sa ride ng altis namin na naka 17" rim.

    Don't know the interior features pero mas gusto ko yung exterior style ng lumang Vios as mentioned. I just didn't liked the new Vios' rear....

    wow! salamat po sa pag-reply ninyong lahat.

    regarding dun sa kotse eh hindi po pang-family yung car. ako lang po ang gagamit pangpasok sa school. kaya po importante yung fuel efficiency at maintenance. hindi ko pa po nakikita yung honda city 08. baka po merong may alam ng link diyan.

    salamat

    I'd go for the Vios. Di ko talaga ma-take porma ng City, ang pangit-pangit talaga, ewan ko ba kung saan planeta nang-galing yang City. Yung Aveo naman di pa subok and being a Chevy, siguradong olats yan pagdating sa resale value compared sa Toyota and Honda

    Sabi nga nila.... Honda City? Either you love this car or you hate it!.....

    That is why we chose the Jazz over the City over a couple of years ago....

    I'll get the 2008 Vios 1.3 E in beige! Its quite new, unlike the City which will be phased out in a year or so. Maintenance and parts wise, toyota might have the edge. Fuel consumption wise, both are neck to neck. The City has a more spacious and cavernous trunk, though.

    hello! I don't know if i did the right thing.. i'm supposed to be making a new thread and i hope i am..

    I just want to ask honest opinions/reviews about the 5 cars i've mentioned. I am thinking about buying a new car ( my first car). And being on a tight budget, and this being my first car, the price should range from 400-600k.

    My first choice is Pica because its cute but i taught it's a bit overpriced with P500k. Plus it looks a little so small for 4 people in case friends would ride along and looks lighter (haha,, i meant it can easily be sideswept.. )

    2nd is getz but for me it looks more like it's suited for a man. and found it also as a bit overpriced for its size at 490k and looks as light as the PICA. City costs around 565K and Rio about a little over 600K? so for that price difference, i am having 2nd toughts. whether to go for the budget cars (400-500k) or go for the normal-sized cars..please help me decide.. it will still boil down to your reviews and my online research and whether or not i am right or wrong..

    Please post by ranking them in terms of:

    1. Reliability/durability
    2. price
    3. maintenance (cost, etc.)
    4. fuel efficiency (very impt)
    5. space
    6. re-sale value
    7. safety

    thank you soo much!

Which is better?
