    Looks. Comfort. Speed and everything else but features & cheaper maintenance, Altis.

    But the price don't differ that much since isang segment lang naman ang difference nila. And the engine is not that complicated & techy as compared to lets say ... an LC200. So do still expect cheap maintenance.

    Personally, I'd pick the Altis. Bigger. Much more comfortable & mas may " dating " cause the only difference from the 1.6G variant on the exterior is foglamps & that can be easily added.

    Tapos, AFAIK wala lang keyless entry yan. But then again, mura lang naman yon.

    Ty sir for the feedback, parang ang diff lang sir sa price is 50k after all the discounts. Un lang sa G na vios kse Free na ung chattel,insurance and Lto kya sadsad ung DP. while sa altis e, though to pay lahat nagawan paraan friend ko na ilibre ung chattel. pero ung monthly nya 400php lang diff hehe..

    But, overall altis talaga.. naho-hold back lang ako sa interior nung vios na g.. pro medyo maliit nga specially the trunk.

    Thanks sir, and keep it coming guys.. sa tuesday na kse ilalabas. need to decide na.

    Comparing it to the Altis, the Vios is really small. Actually, the Accent's interior space is even better and bigger.

    Yung trunk ng Altis, it's BIG. Then malalim pa. Unlike the FD, isang diretso. Walang pailalim sa trunk.

    If you really need SPACE, then try looking at the Focus sedans, eto sobrang laki ng trunk at sobrang ganda ng features. Not sure though about its maintenance if it's that cheap.

    Pero kung Altis vs. Vios ? Go for the Altis na, just buy a pair of foglights + keyless entry then you're good to go. Di ka magsisisi diyan. And yes, the new vios looks gay. Tail lights, grille uhg ...

    This is a no-brainer for me. I'd choose the Altis. It's bigger and looks better.

    Altis vs. Vios? I'll go with the Altis. Even though it's an entry level model, you'll get more room, more power (6mt baby!), and a little less features than the Vios G. But there's the aftermarket route, you can get what accessories you want there. Maintenance, di magkakalayo yun. Pero it boils down with your needs eh. Parang ganito, I'll rather get a big one than a small one na hindi ako magiging masaya. Money well spent, right?

    Happy Shopping and Good Luck!

    Altis no doubt. Took apart a Vios before and it was all cheap plastics.

    yeah its because of production issues from Japan... a lady Tsikoteer's been waiting for her unit also, a 1.6V...

    Wow baka next month pa? kakasimula palang natin sa May...

    I think the E variant is easier to find compared to the other variants. Hanap ka from different dealers...

    I had to agree with you in this, kahit masakit sa kalooban ko. The Altis is really BETTER than the Focus in a lot of ways. Maintenance & Fuel efficiency is an example, & this you cannot compromise OVER features & space. However, if the TS is really after for the features then you cannot get much at the Altis E, thus, might want to look at other options which is of the same size & price.

    If you meant something other than what I'm thinking of with your post, then wala akong pake sayo. :moon: :bwahaha:

    Pag TDCi na Focus bro ibang usapan na yun

    Anyway, aside from foglamps na lamang ng vios to altis, disc brake na rin ang vios both front and rear while the G variant of Altis is still drum brake right?

    Yep. Vios G = Discs everything ; Altis E & G has discs only at the front and drums at the rear. BUT that really doesn't matter, as long as you regularly check your pads up front it will already give sufficient stopping power. So it's not THAT important as compared to space, comfort & looks.

    if you can afford the altis... get the altis.

    no contest na yan. a vios is still a vios kahit 1.5g.

Toyota Altis E m/t or Toyota Vios G m/t
