Toyota Vios 1.3J vs. Nissan Sentra 1.3GX vs. Hyundai Accent 1.5GL

[migs0624]

Between the 3 what would you choose and why?

It's for my mom, ako raw pumili for her. her budget is not more than 700k.
daily use nya. yung matipid, mataas resale value, mura maintenance, and comfy yung ride. nevermind about the looks daw. basta di two tone yung kulay.

Being a lady, mas ok ang Hyundai Accent.

Safe - carjackers won't even think of jacking a Hyundai :bwahaha:
Economical - since she's a lady, she'd get terrific fuel mileage on this thing.
Small - very easy to park. Decent interior.
Backed up by a 5-yr warranty.

kung 700k pwede ba dyan ung vios 1.3E.. Pwede din lancer GLS na CVT. Ok yan sa Mom mo

[tidus1203]

The Sentra is probably the best value, pero kung ako Accent ako...

[LeOxe]

if your mom is safety conscious, go with the lancer glx/gls & the vios 1.3e since it already has airbag/s. i don't know if the 1.3 sentra has airbags.

if fuel consumption is the main concern, go with the accent. it has great crdi technology.

Actually, matipid din naman ang Vios 1.3e it's just that since it's a japanese car, it puts her at great risk being an old woman. Primary target pa naman ng jackers ang Toyota.

[renzo_d10]

Sir migs, ayaw mo pahiram montero mo?

Kidding aside........

Sentra GX 1.3 w/ power features....

For me, id go for the sentra because it has power features....

But if you wont pick the sentra w/ power features, get the Accent since it's a diesel.....

Though the accents is kinda pricey for the base model....

:nono: nako ha......

Kung ako papipiliin, I'd go for the Sentra GX A/T (all power), I find the Vios too small and the fact that your mom's gonna use it, why not go for A/T?

[valskie01]

i'll pick accent 1.5 anytime.

already driven the 2006 sentra gx manual for 2 years(owned one sold already). the suspension is good very comfortable specially pag long driving provincial trip. i also like its interior. my only gripe is bad fuel economy and underpowered engine due to big and heavy body.

i think the accent has a better suspension component though medyo mas soft ride parin ang sentra. it is equip with superb and fuel efficient engine(my kia rio w/ 1.4L engine already has decent fuel economy compare to sentra gx) how much more the accent. downside is bland interior. by the way the kia rio and hyundai accent shares the same platform/chassis/body thus IMO for subcompact car accent has the best value for money.

no comment for vios have not driven one.

Accent if your mom can handle the stickshift as it only comes in MT here in the Philippines.

But reading your criteria, I think a 1.3 City can best serve the purpose.

[carlo_41786]

Dun sa mga choices na binigay mo.

Hyundai Accent din ako.

[migs0624]

HP, tidus1203, leOxe, valskie01,
thanks man, i think the hyundai is really good.
read the TG's review about it, it registered:

20 km/l best
8 km/l worst
(exact figures i can't remember na)

then it's a diesel, so i think it's the best fuel efficient car of the three. though I'd like to suggest her the new focus TDCI with dual clutch haha!! it's just too expensive daw.

renzo,
hahaha!! she doesn't like it, mahirap daw i-park at mainit daw sa mata
yup, the sentra goes for like 585k and the accent yata is 680k, but since the latter is diesel, tama lang pricing siguro.. hehe

[badbadtz.carlo]

if it's for your mom, preferably A/T sana para madali for her to move around, even in our highly congested, traffic-laden Manila streets. kaso sa budget, Sentra A/T lang pasok sa budget. Nissan also has 5yr warranty now so good buy ren cia with all the power features and nice/soft ride.

I've driven an Accent na ren kaso not really happy with its interiors. Also, sabi nila mahal daw magmaintain ng CRDI engines.. not sure about this kasi never personally owned one. pero given that it's a diesel, Fuel Economy is higher among the choices. kaso, M/T nga lang ren.

if resale value is a concern and reliability ang pinag-uusapan, Vios 1.3 E M/T is the way to go. Toyota has been a very reliable brand throughout the years and parts availability, be it stock/OEM or aftermarket, marami. new ren model ng Vios kaya nde malalaos agad.

if i were you, Sentra A/t choice ko. if oks lang sa mom mo M/T, then Vios next. then Last Accent.

[rhuwrx]

I'd pick the Sentra a/t, it's rides comfortably, legendary calsonic aircon, parts are plenty since it's already been out for a while now, and looks unassuming (hindi takaw attention).

[renzo_d10]

ah hehehe.....

Yup, although the accent is pricey.....as long as it's fuel efficient....then go! :rofl:

5yrs na pala warranty ng nissan ngayon? applicable to all models? wow! ganda! hehe

how much did you get yours?
1.3GX ba sayo? with discounts etc.

[number001]

VIOS 1.3 E M/T - Php659,000.00
City 1.3 A MT - PHP 676,000.00
Accent 1.5 GL - Php 700,000.00

The listed Vios and City variant both have ABS. Vios has driver's airbag.

The Accent, I think, doesn't come with neither airbags or ABS. It does have power windows and steering, etc.

You couldn't go wrong with any of the three choices. The diesel Accent might cost more in terms of PMS and CRDi's injector are expensive to repair.
