Here are some more practical and objective benefits of getting a new model:
1. A new car with a new engine delivers better fuel economy and efficiency with cleaner emissions.


Totally agree.



2. A new car (in this case the smaller Toyota Vios) is lighter. Aside from improving fuel efficiency, its weight also reduces wear on consumable parts like brakes, tires, suspension parts, etc.


Agree.


3. The Toyota Vios is easier to park and maneuver in traffic precisely because it is smaller.


Agree, but its engine bay sucks compared to the Lancer dahil "masikip".



4. Don't you ever wonder why the Toyota Vios is a favorite of taxis, service fleets and medical representatives all over the country? It is tough as nails, built like a tank and will withstand a nuclear meltdown (okay, maybe not).


Almost all cars are built tough except siguro sa mga China cars hehe. Kahit mag heads on sa pagiging Taxi ang Lancer, Vios, Sentra, City, Alto (walang mailagay sa Suzuki kasi hehe), Mazda3, they can withstand extreme driving conditions hehe. Alto nga may taxi fleet eh Lancer pa.
