    normally, i would go for the vios. but since your choice is a Vios 1.3J, i find that too bare, so my choice would be the mirage.
    however, if you can extend your budget to a Vios 1.3E, i would recommend that you go for the Vios.

    But I told her if someone asks your again... Use "safety features" as a reason.



    Same here... Although I must admit, my first 2 cars in college were non-Toyota's because of the taxi issue.

    Thanks sir

    The Mirage G4 is a lot more fuel efficient than the Vios.

    Test drive both vehicles and see whats the best for you.

    Things you may want to consider...

    There's a 2017 Mirage (Hatchback) - no idea if how this will affect the G4 (Attrage) but maybe a facelift is coming... Specs also mentioned that the 2017 Mirage has more HP...

    I personally hate driving a car with less than 1.6L engine... But (my sister has a Vios and my friend has a G4) I find the new Vios' body too heavy for the 1.3 engine... G4 feels ok, but the body feels too light... Everytime I knock on it there's this strange feel that the sheets used are thinner than usual...

    engine wise and performance wise, no difference. only difference are cosmetics.

    J has steel rims, E has allow wheels (mags)
    J has no door trims, E has one.
    J has no power windows, power locks and power windows, E have them.
    J, i think has no keyless entry system, E has them.

    I think even the steering wheel, may steering wheel remote na ata ang E. Newer Vios na E have flat screen HUs.
    imho, worth the difference in price (i think its around 50k difference).

    Price difference of Vios E to J is around 110K.

    Hands down Vios J for me, the bells and whistles of the mirage GLS can never compensate for the 4 cylinder engine of the Vios
