    Wala pong problema ung makina ng accent. Yung quality ng gas natin dito sa pinas ang problema.

    I'll go for Kia Rio Hatch.

    Thanks!
    kakabago lang ata ng vios db? may nakikita ako sa mga newspaper na "all-new" e. kahit parang walang nagbago. hahaha. but the thing is, sila mismo nagsabi "all-new" hindi naman siguro agad agad for a model change

    no contest the rio wins in terms of amenities. it has all and beyond possible toys in its class. start stop engine, cruise control, audio controls in steering wheel, projector headlights and fogs, and if im not mistaken retractable side mirrors ( i could be wrong bout this one)

    however, what the rio stands out with, the vios makes up for its engine, power and reliability.

    based on your moms needs, you look like you need a solid workhorse.
    tested and proven na and vios. pang-harabas talaga. fuel efficiency is SUPERB. low end torque is also a mouthful.
    maintenance is also very cheap. parts availability is plentiful.

    I vote for the vios on this one. it may not be as pogi as the rio, but it makes up for its performance, reliability, fuel efficiency and easy maintenance.

    Same thing. In the Philippine context, the Accent/Rio are risky propositions because the end user might suffer from knocking issues and low acceleration.

    Magiimport ka ba ng gas na high quality?

    Why not the Fiesta Sport, Accent 1.6, Mazda 2 1.5R or Suzuki Swift? All pretty cars. No engine issues associated with these models.

    agree. fuel here in the phil is dirty. thats a already a given. higher octane gas naman well... for everyday driving, mahal than ordinary gas, beats the purpose why you'd be driving an econo box. so, its easier to actually just get a car that wont have problems with our dirty fuel or lower octane gas. just my two cents.

    Malakas ang low-RPM torque ng 1NZ-FE bro

    Yung Jazz, as usual Honda yan. High revving

    Kung engine lang, bilib ako sa Vios/Yaris. Pero yung tranny yung patalo eh, mas maganda talaga 5AT ng Jazz sa 4AT ng Toyota. Not because it has more gears, but because it responds better and feels like it saps less power
