2011 Honda City 1.3 S A/T vs. 2011 Toyota Vios 1.3 E A/T

[afb_ramos93]

Hello everyone. Pls help me choose between these two brands considering all factors such as fuel consumption, maintenance/parts, looks, endurance, power and overall bang for the buck. I'm 25 years old, single, the car will be used mainly for city driving. I'd be shouldering the expenses for the car (my first btw) which is a sizeable investment tapos i'm also a first time buyer so would really appreciate your inputs.

Vios - P720,000
City - P771,000

Thanks sirs/maams.

[k o k o y]

both are good cars.

i'd go for the city, since its fresh while the vios is 5 years in the market already. unless you're willing to wait for the new one to be launched.

Kung OK lang sayo ang 771k na price ng City... Eh di yun nalang. You get more power and better looks as well as more space. I'm not fond of the Vios. Napakasikip and the 1.3E lacks power. Ano yung budget ceiling mo? You may want to consider the Accent 1.4GL A/T at 688k and 1.6GLS blue at 808k which is a bargain when compared to the City's price and that's just the SRP may discount pa sigurado yan, as compared to the Honda na walang kadiscount-discount.

Sir GTi paanong lacks of power? I drive the E variant (manual nga lang hehe), mabilis sa recta, arangkada ok. Ang sakit nga lang sa matarik, mabagal.

Kung space sir afb go for the city. Kung sa budget at cheap maintenancde cost Vios. Both cars okay naman ang resale value.

Nadrive ko narin ang 1.3E, sari sariling perception of mabagal siguro yun. Pero halata ko may daya yung Vios eh. Yung throttle niya electronic, kaya kunting apak lang ang taas na kaagad ng nirerev kaya nung una hindi ako nasanayan, at lagi umaabot ng 4000-5000rpm kapag nagta-take off. :rofl: Yun nga lang after that, nahalata ko it doesn't have much more to give, and there isn't much torque either which is a given being a 1.3

Talaga? Based sa mga kaibigan at mga relative ko naka Vios yun din ang na experience nila even yun '05 Vios ng sister ko. Nung na drive ko sa expreesway, di ko malayan 120km/h na pala tinakbo ko. Still I understand your experience sa Vios kanya-kanya ang perception sa pag drive ng isang kotse. The verdict tipid sa gas.

Sir GTi, thanks for the input. I think i'm learning more on the City nga. How about in terms of fuel efficiency? Alin ho masmatipid? Interresting suggestion sir with the Accent 1.4GL A/T, will definitely look into it. Overall sir, how do you think would it compare to the City?

AFAIK mas mura maintenance ng Accent. Fuel efficiency naman, depende narin sa tao at traffic conditions yun eh. But the Accent has more power and torque which should make it more relaxed, saving more fuel. Di mo ba i-coconsider ang GLS blue Accent? Heard na napakabilis nun, matipid pa sa gas dahil sa Blue technology niya at kaunti nalang agwat niya sa City 1.3S, siguro may discount pa.

Maganda nga sir ung GLS blue accent..loaded ng features. Interesting to note yung Blue Technology nya. I wonder how a 1.6 accent engine AT with blue technology compare to a 1.4 accent AT or a 1.3 City AT in terms of fuel efficiency? hindi nman ho kc ako masyadong particular sa speed.. for me fuel efficiency and maintenance cost are the main factors to consider.

Anyway, overall mukhang magiging mahirap pagpili ko nito sir.. My main concern with Hyundai really is that it's hyundai? Some of my friends tell me that Honda is still the better brand, tried and tested and hence the safer choice? tingin mo sir?

Better suspension ang city and walang taxi kapag honda city kaya may prestige pero mas mahal maintenance

[gelahascue]

Dilemma din namin ngayon yan. Magkano ba ang accent blue ngayon? Ganda ng exterior at interior eh! Haha. As for the city na first choice namin, quality car no doubt pero arangkada narin ang hyundai pagdating sa technology eh. Engine start/stop for the accent blue? That is something to consider! Hahaha )

Honda 1.5 ivtec vs Verna(accent 1.6)
Gues who won sa drag race. Honda City.

Yung comment sa verna/accent malambot nga daw ang rear suspension.

When it comes to performance, Honda's VTEC is king, and its suspensions have always been another of its fortes. But IMHO, its simply too expensive for what you get. The Accent trumps it in the features department and undercuts it in price.

*TS: BTW, are you OK with manuals? You may want to consider the Elantra 1.6DCVVT 6 speed manual at 798k (A/T at 868k). There is a Hyundai agent here in Tsikot, si bro ejs12129 (tama ba ang username? hehe~ ) and I'm sure he will be able to give you a good deal.
