zechs: Sorry OT question, Does the city have a full spare tire or a donut, sa Vios namin donut lang

**zechs** · August 14th, 2005 11:52 PM

full spare pare. :D

do you have a hard time shifting sa first gear and sa reverse? yun daw isa sa mga sakit ng vios eh...one of the points that we liked the city even more. sarap ng shifting ng city eh..lalo na yung manual. short shifting kasi eh.

well, if you are after of the performance, vios. Space? City.

A/T yung samin pre, di ko pa nga na test drive hehehe. It has a fully digital instrument panel on the dashboard, gets a little getting used to, I can still smell the rustproofing from the inside. Rear legroom is not for persons above (5'8"), rear compartment quite spacious, sound system is adequate at best.

i'm not so great with cars. i just... drive them.

(hehe)

yay! thanks very much.

I'm assuming you're a girl... So, the form and image factor may have a lot for value for you. In terms of form, the Vios definitely beats the odd-looking City. However, in terms of image, the City beats the Vios, since the latter is also used as a taxi.

In terms of functionality, the City is the winner, hands down... Those ULT seats offer flexibility in cargo handling and storage. And, if you get an A/T, that 7 Speed CVT is a definite plus!

same observation by vicoyski. go for the high end city. kung pwede sabihin mo sa parents mo jazz na lang.

I think mas bagay ang Vios sa mga girls... Kaso masmaganda features ng City and masmahal siya sa Vios.. ^_^

IMHO Toyota pa rin. Vios looks like a real car for me. Style is lasting. Pero at the end of the day, go where your heart is. Search inside and feel the force. You can't go wrong either one of them.

Bias na rin ako dahil City owner na...pero believe me, I did my homework before buying either of the 2 (as Zechs said, search mo vios or city at magsasawa ka sa kakabasa). Kung gusto mo pa ng "tale of the tape" comparison, pros and cons, etc., I also made that

muntik masira ulo namin hehehe

At least sa 1.3 variant (di ko na bother iba), di na sila nagkakalayo sa presyo (with Toyota raising their prices...at pag sinabayan uli ng promo ng Honda yan, Vios will lose its only competitive advantage, that is, the price). But then again if budget is not a factor...the city is a better car in quality and functionality. Then again, dahil parents mo financier, baka sila may last say...at kung Toyota guys sila...ala kang magagawa (and vice versa kung die hard Honda sila

As for me, neutral and objective ako till we made the decision.

Hi Nikka,
welcome to tsikot.

if you can spare some time, drop by the dealerships and request for a test of both cars. Brand new naman yung kukunin mo and I guess for city driving ang gamit mo sa kanila, right? So pasok na agad sila sa requirement. The best way parin is to get behind the wheel of both and see if you feel comfortable driving them.

keep us posted sa decision mo. good luck!
