Honda City 1.5 cvt vs Toyota Vios 1.3/1.5 matic

[jut703]

Since the 30k difference between the Vios and City matters to you, then just get the Vios. I came from driving much more powerful cars, but hindi naman ako nabibitin sa Vios 1.3E for normal driving.

And since we're working on a budget here, have you considered the Mirage GLS hatch? It's a smaller car than the Vios, but has more features, is more fuel efficient, and most importantly, is 90k cheaper.

Hopefully they did repair the cvt but will you take the chance as a guinea pig?

I almost got a 3.5 vcm equipped accord. consumption was the key and performance/power/torque when needed was what i wanted till i searched for vcm problems.

excessive oil consumption, premature damage to engine supports (very pricey around 800-1000 dollars for each) spark plug fouling, excessive wear on piston rings. etc etc.

So from an 03 camry to another camry ang bagsak ko. Sayang features ng 3.5 accord. Unfortunately, what honda did was just extend the warranty period in other countries. Here I have no idea.

Honda settles class-action lawsuit over oil-burning V6s

sana dito din gawin yang 8 year unlimited warranty. Up to now the only thing they did to improve the engine is make it from 3-6 cylinders (3when on limp mode) to 3-4-6 ng 2010 iirc. But the problems that arose in the suit includes the 2012 and 13.

Tsk tsk.

Well your choice bro kung gusto mo magpakapraning. Basta the fact is that the new Earth Dreams CVT is completely different from the old City's CVT. It's been over 10 years since that CVT was first launched y'know.

And this is why I'd recommend the City E for the fuel-conscious car buyer who doesn't mind skipping on a few features but having a good engine and lots of space.

Yes, the City is more fuel efficient than the Vios/Yaris. Where a Yaris 1.3E AT would only do 8 km/L, a City 1.5 CVT could probably do 9-10 km/L.

But the Yaris E is cheaper than the base City E by 45k, so it'll take about 4-5 years of fuel savings before you even recoup the SRP difference of the City vs Yaris.

^^ yes. I think E and G models have touchscreen HU's

[vhanz82]

thank you sa reply sir

Not on the G and E models displayed in Toyota Makati sir, at least not when I visited late last year. Yung wigo G yata yung merong touchscreen HU if I recall correctly.

IMO the HU and speakers for that matter should not sway you into getting one car over the other, at least for this segment. If entertainment is one of your priorities, a better option would be aftermarket upgrades whichever car you get.

I was in the same dillemma before, but due to budget considerations ended up getting a Vios. Both cars are good choices, you couldn't go wrong with either.

That could be MY2014 Vios. Yung mga display nila sa mall may touchscreen HU's na. AFAIK, it is the only upgrade of the MY 2015.


BTT: I'm leaning towards the Vios because it is cheaper. I also the steering wheel audio controls. Di ko lang sure kung meron yung City E nun

[cast_no_shadow]

Musta TS what did you end up buying?

[rscamarino7]

Good day mga sir, Just came across sa thread na ito, i am also planning to buy my first car, choices are same as the subject above. but leaning ako sa toyota 1.3 (price/budget issues din) comparing po ang maintenance expenses between toyota and honda, sin-o po ba mas tipid? Newbie rin po ako sa cars. Salamat po sa mga mag reply.

[misspossible]

Hmm. Also trying to decide between a Toyota Vios 1.3E AT, a Honda City 1.5 VX CVT and a Honda Mobilio.

Suggestions and/or recommendations, anyone?

Labo ata sir, malayo na ata presyo nung 1.3E Vios sa 1.5 VX City, so sa budget magkakatalo. But if kailangan mo yung added seats, Mobilio ka talaga.

Between yaris and city sir i'd go with the vios or yaris 1.5 a/t fc is almost the same depende na lang sa driving style yan. Some people have a heavy foot kasi. Also yun condition nang engine is also a big factor sa tipid.

But if kung kasama yun nissan sylphy. I'd definitely buy the 1.6 cvt sylphy around 870k.Same bracket in price sa 1.5 na vios/yaris at hondas jazz/city but bigger overall. Value for money and the a/c is really ice cold specially this summer time when we need it the most.

^Though you could ask the casa to bypass the handbrake safety feature though magsign ka ng waiver.

If you just need basic transport to and from the office, the Vios J is much cheaper than the City E.

No need to spend on the City E, the Vios (even the J) already has all the basic creature comforts you need, as well as lots of space for 5.

How about fuel consumption sir? not much diff? 70% of the way to ofc, is highway naman. we are also considering the parts for repair and maintenance in the long run. overall you think toyota is better?

[Jeboy25]

Personal opinion ko lang po, I would go for Vios 1.5, lower displacement doesn't always mean more fuel efficient lalo na po sa case mo na 70% highway. Advantage lang yung maliit displacement kung babad sa traffic. I have Hyundai Getz 1.1 dati nakaka 7 km/L lang ako mixed city/highway hehe. Sa mataas na displacement di mo kailangan i-floor yung gas para umarangkada agad i.e. konting apak lang sibat agad :D usually mas torquey yung higher displacement. As per FC ng Vios I think efficient dahil favorite nilang gawing taxi e :D

[Jeboy25]

^and by the way mas mura parts and PMS ng Vios, and tried and tested na reliable

Pwede po bang makisakay sa thread? Ako rin ngayon pinagiisipan ko kung 2015 honda amaze 1.3 or toyota vios 1.3e.. Any suggestions po mga sir.. Thanks in advance.. Naguguluhan na po kasi ako.. Kasi dati kasama sa choices namin yung honda city 1.5e cvt kaya lang ang ilalabas na daw kasi nila eh yung 2016 model so mataas na yung dp and monthly kaya hindi na namin sya na consider..

The Vios will be a better choice over the Amaze, in my opinion. If you want the City, go for it. Wala naman planned changes sa current chassis ng City so the 2016 model will be the same build as the 2014-15 models (except siguro mga extra burloloy to market it as a newer model). Baka ginu-goodtime ka lang nung ahente so go check another dealer.

If you're really looking at the Amaze, you may just want to consider the Mirage G4 as another option.
