    Please quantify... is this because Honda won't let people use their cars as taxis that you say this? Because Toyota won't let you use th 08 Vios or Corolla as taxis, either... and I've seen more old Corollas (including Altises, mind you) in need of shock replacement than Hondas. I'm not saying that Toyota durability is a myth, but I laugh whenever anyone says that Toyota suspensions are better than the rest. In my experience, Toyota shocks wear out, just like everyone else's.

    The Avanza, yes, you can use it as a taxi, but the suspension feels like it'd come apart over a good sized pothole... ...peace lang, Avanza boys... ...just kidding.

I used to be a Honda loyalist, but after the SIR I think the Civic just got uglier when the VTEC 3 came along with its weird looking butt and now we have THE UGLIEST of all CIVICs, the FD series. Not to mention the ugliest car on the road today is none other than the 2003-present Honda City.
    For the old Corolla 4AFE, this much is still true. You can buy parts for old Corollas anywhere.

    But the new ZZ engines in the current Altis and Vios? Ha. Good luck. For many parts, you still have to go to the specialists in Banawe or the casa like us poor, deluded, non-Toyota owners ( ). It's not as easy as with the old cars, where you could get parts from your neighborhood sari-sari store. My cousin has had to send out for parts for his Altis at times... it's not as easy as it used to be, guys.
