[Pogisofi]

Please Help which is more practical and fuel efficient among the two and most probably cheaper to maintain? Thanks

Matrix...

it is very spacious compared to the Vios. with a crdi engine, it should be more frugal.

interior material and build quality is almost at par with each other. exterior aesthetics is a matter of preference... the vios looks like a traditional sedan while the matrix is more function oriented.

The Vios should be cheaper to maintain in the long run. Turbo + high pressure injectors on the Matrix will require more meticulous maintenance than the gas engine of the Vios.

But the Matrix is much bigger inside, costs less to fuel up, and is more flexible. Both the Matrix and Vios have so-so interiors (crappy, actually, depending on what you're used to), but the Matrix feels more open because of its size and the panoramic view from inside.

IMHO, the Matrix is better value for money if we're talking 1.5 vs. 1.5.

Hope you got already, but for me its safety that matters most, i'll get Vios.
also try to get the comparison of vios and matrix at www.motioncars.com.

matrix.

with power only a hair less than the Vios while using diesel fuel, it should be fast and economical too. bigger and more substantial in looks and in paper.

di sila comparable...iba ang use ng bawat isa..but i'll go matrix din kung gusto mo bang for buck...

ang advantage lang ng 1.5g vios is its a toyota, it has digital guages, it has complete safety and an a/t..manual lang ang matrix crdi.
