Please help me decide which is the best car to buy considering my needs.
I have previously decided on getting a 1.3 G A/T and took my Mommy to the showroom. However, she the saw cute little Avanza which is within the same price range as the Vios. She likes that it can sit more people and carry more stuff. Personally, I do not like the Avanza as I find it too small to function as a 6 seater vehicle. But I have a friend that's convincing me that the Avanza is sturdier and more practical than the Vios. Also, since I already have a compact, I should not get another sedan anymore. Since my Mommy prefers for me to get a vehicle that's multipurpose, I considered the Innova 2.0 J Gas M/T as well. The downside is that it's the lowest variant and extremely bare. It's the most expensie too. It's only the size that will be a plus point and nothing else.
I was considering using the Vios as my daily driver to save on gas. I'd like to know if the Avanza or Innova could give me good fuel economy as well.
My main consideration is practicality. Secondary is ease of maintenance. On the surface the Vios seems to be the best choice since it's the cheapest with the most features. BUT I am also considering practicality in terms of flexibility and variety of use. Which vehicle will give me the most out of my money? I plan to keep this vehicle for a minimum of 10 years.
