    magkaiba rear suspension ng vios at corolla. Fully independent mcpherson ang corolla vs the solid axle beam of the vios. Plus the heavier weight of the corolla gives it a more plush ride compared to the lighter vios.

    but space wise ,engine power, economy, vios still comes ahead.

Ang talagang issue lang malakas na sa gas so nobody wants to use it na.

    Then around 2008 I also posted in Sulit our old office service, a 95 bigbody XE, I posted it late at night and didn't put my cellphone number, office number lang nilagay ko, know full well na talagang laspag na yun I put a price of 125k, at that time mga 150-180k pa ang takbuhan ng similar model. Yun nga lang yung amin kelangan na ipaoverhaul, repaint, underchassis repair at interior reupholstery (in short full restoration ang kelangan), I had something on that morning so I came in late sa office, pagpasok nagkagulo yung mga tao sa office, mali ko kasi I failed to inform them about it. Before lunch time may dumating na buyer and offered 75k for it, eh sa loob ko naman lung ako yon, di ko bibilhin yon sa ganung halaga, so nagcounter offer na lang ako ng 80k and before lunch time, the buyer drove it off.
    problema bah talaga sa mga 2e carburetor na lalakas talaga ang gas consumption ?? wala bang remedy ?? mine kasi, office at bahay lang ang takbo at medyo malapit lng bahay namin at office .. ang isang full tank ko na P1,800 ay hanggang 2 weeks lang .. yung vios ng kasamahan ko, same route lng dahil malapit lang din bahay nila sa office namin, every 2 weeks cya nag papa gas ng P900 .. inshort, yung P1,800 ko na 2 weeks lang, 1month na sa kanya ...

    kung halos pareho lang consumption ng 2e atsaka 4afe gli, might as well change to gli nalang ako .. same fuel consumption kasi fuel injected against carburetor .. but comes with the additional power of 1.6 engine ...

    tama ba ??

    Yup. Actually mas matipid pa nga ang gli kasi efi na given na parehong well maintained ang 2e and 4afe. Power to weight ratio.

    Old corollas are durable. And people are starting to realize from others that those low-downs offered by car dealers are only making lives miserable, maganda nga car mo tapos Hindi ka naman makalabas sa laki ng premium


    One reason why I kept a 99 model myself. Kung minsan masarap din old durable cars to traverse the metro. Di ka takot magasgasan, o ma-Carnap. And the maintenance is so cheap, tipong 2k per year sa PMS

    I always see it more as an advantage than a disadvantage driving your old but brand new bought car. Protects you from inflation

    Plus if ever you see those long lines sa morning news shows sa MRT and LRT, talagang ma-papaholld-on ka sa old car mo. Btw, old cars like these when restored cost about a brand new car's insurance
