i prefer the Vios. though im impressed by the interior of the Optra. also, it has this aplomb over bumps that is better than the Vios. Overall, the Optra isnt that very bad car. It's actually decent with just not-so-decent fuel consumption. But features and appointments are A-1. i just like the Vios better cos i like fuel efficient, agile, light on its feet type of cars. Plus, the Toyota badge, parts and resale are a good consolation.
