Help! 2013 Toyota Vios vs 2013 Ford Fiesta vs 2013 Toyota Avanza

[eros]

Hi guys! I'll be getting my first car this month courtesy of my Dad I'm a 4th year college student and I want a car that is Fuel efficient and yeah just like everyone, I'm aesthetics conscious. My Dad gave me three options, 2013 Ford Fiesta Hatchback, 2013 Toyota Vios and 2013 Toyota Avanza. (All 1.5 AT) 'cause that's all we can afford

Here's the catch,

Our parking space in our house is very steep. We had a 1.5 AT Honda City before and every time we drive in and out the parking space the bottom part of the front bumper stratches to the floor. "Sumasabit" in tagalog. Then we traded it to a Ford Everest which is much taller. Then no problems at all.

Dad told me that I have the final decision.
I really really want a sedan, wanted the New Vios coz all the new things into it, the new fiesta hatchback is also an eye catcher but the size is holding me back from getting it. The avanza is spacious and but I think its too big for me for its a family car.

My heart is torn between Vios and Fiesta, But dad keeps on insisting that I should get the Avanza 'cause we'll have no parking problem at our house.



what should I get?

kung ok lang sayo magasgas yung bottom part ng sasakyan mo, go for the Vios. Pwede nyo rin naman pasementohan yung incline ng papasok ng garahe nyo. Pero kung ayaw nyo, ok lang din avanza. Kung makakahintay ka pa ng konte, you could go for the Ford Ecosport which will be roughly around the TOTL Vios and Fiesta price. Ang alam ko lalabas yun this year. Kung ngayon na talaga kelangan, pwede rin naman yung Kia Soul ;)

Super Stiff nya talaga, that's the major concern but I want a sedan
Sana maantay ko pa yung Ecosport
Check ko yung Kia Soul

It won't hurt to test drive New Fiesta and Vios since those are the safer vehicles.
The Fiesta and Vios are more refined compared to the Avanza which is really more of a low-cost utility vehicle, I was surprised at how thin the doors were when I checked out the Avanza at a mall display.
If you want a simple car for going from point A to B, go for a New Vios.
If you want a safe fun to dive, good handling car, you can't go wrong with the New Fiesta (hatch and sedan have the same price).

We had the same problem before, but with a little DIY (some water, sand, and cement), we were able to fix the portion of our driveway and got that extra 1/2 inch of clearance we needed for the car not to scrape its front bumper.

The EcoSport would be a good option if you can wait for it, the current Kia Soul will soon be replaced since a 2nd gen Soul was already unveiled in other markets.

Fiesta


Vios


Avanza


The new EcoSport and 2nd gen Kia Soul

*The 2nd gen Soul might look like a facelift at first glance, but it's actually an all-new model based on the new Rio/Accent platform.

Mukhang ang pinaka desisyon mo na lang talaga ay kung ok lang may kayas, or basag, yung bumper mo. If you can tolerate driving a car with that defect then you can go for the low profile vehicles.

Kung gusto mo talaga ng low car ser paayos mo na lang parking nyo, hindi naman ganun kamahal yun.
Anyway, Vios ang kukunin ko jan vs Fiesta.
Pero kung icconsider ko ang baha, Avanza na lang kahit papano makakadaan sa leg-to-knee-deep flood, pag low car kasi usually gutter deep lang.

Yun nga rin po sir kinokonsider ng dad ko eh kasi kapag baha kaya mas gusto nya Avanza

If you will be alone most of the time, mag sedan ka na. Avanza for me is for those with kids na.. hehe.

[vinj]

Hmmm... slightly used pick-up? Jimny?

Can't anything be done about your parking/driveway anymore? Mukhang Vios or Fiesta nga talaga ang match sa needs mo if it were not for the sayad problems. Try measuring the front overhangs of the cars you're looking at to see what has a shorter front bumper so the propensity for "sayad" is less.

Been asking for some driving/parking tips baka po kasi madaan sa tamang diskarte sa pagpapark

If you are aesthetic conscious, then avanza would be definitely out of the picture. So you're left with the two.

If you will be using it most of the time without any passenger, I think you should consider suzuki jimny, it's within the price range of your choices. It would answer your parking and baha problem. Otherwise if you really are keen on having a sedan, no choice but to do some work on your driveway.

And yes try checking the soul.

Finally made my decision, Thank you for all your inputs!

Rio na lang daw... lol

[dennis.manapat]

Nahuli na ako sa pag share ng comments ko...hehe...I was just going to say...test drive the fiesta, then the vios, yung avanza kahit hindi na. hahaha. kung malapit lang kasi yung ford branch sa house nyo sir, pwede mo dalhin sa house nyo and i-try i-park kung sasayad. (kasama pa rin syempre yung sales person).
Pero pang binata na college student...i'd say go for the fiesta. panalo sa lahat sa pogi points.

Goodluck and best wishes po sir...we'll be waiting for the pictures.

Thank you Sir! Will be getting the car tomorrow! So surprise kung ano napili ko , hahah I'll posting pics as soon as possible

[Rockyds]

Kung anu man napili mo at sumasayad pa din ang front bumper, either fix your garage or pakabit ka ng rhino/rubber lip. Worth 2k I think.

Eto Jimny, snorkel lang mods.

Manual syempre.

Looks like a mini pajero we had long long time ago

[eros]

Ayaw mo ba ng Pick- up? Ranger perhaps? :naughty2:
Lalaking- lalaki ang dating!!!

Okay, ito na lang ang say ko among your choices:
Fiesta - pinaka- maporma! Bagay na bagay sa binatang college boy. Fun- fun- fun!!!
Vios - hmmmnnnn... sabihin na lang nating bagay sa mga young executives (in the very near future :thumbup: )
Avanza - mpv for the youngs. Do anything, go anywhere... space for "nakikisakay / pasaway na barkadas".
and all these what I call "teenage burloloys".... le mobile garvage dumpe! Hmpttt, they enjoy it anyway :headache:

Mapapa- ayos naman 'yang garahe niyo, not a big deal. Minor modifications lang I hope.
Maganda naman mga choices mo... very wise. I always say "feel the car before buying".
Parang babae rin 'yan... merong namumukod- tangi. . GL.

Hahah finally made a decision today. Our application is now on process. I'm gonna update you guys soon!
