New yaris 1.3 E vs new city 1.5 cvt

**Drefaith** · March 28th, 2015 08:21 AM

Mga tsikoteers, hingi lang ng advice on what would be the better car to buy with the given priorities. Choices are 1.3e a/t yaris and the city 1.5 cvt:

1. Fuel economy for city driving and occasional out of town trips. ( 50% of the time 2 lang sakay, 30 % ako lang sakay and 20% mga 4-5 pax ) ( manila traffic )

2. Maintenace cost

Yan lang dalawa criteria ko kasi hindi naman ako naglalagay ng valuables sa loob ng sasakyan at iiwan ko sya dun habang nakapark so a hatch is ok. Design, ok sila pareho. Features, importane lang sa akin may aux-in ang head unit.lols., airbags, aircon. Im pretty sure pareho naman braking capabilities ng dalawa. Hindi rin ako mahataw magdrive kaya ok lang kung 1.3 or 1.5 engine. Besides, makakahataw ka lang sa manila pag may laban si pacquiao or alas tres na ng madaling araw . Thanks in advance sa inputs mga sirs!

I vote for the Yaris. Mas maporma sya for me, and not that common around Metro Manila. Plus, same parts as the Vios so no problem if you need repairs in the future. Bonus na lang na mas mura pa

actually maganda talaga yung yaris. maganda rin yung city pero masyadong executive looking na sya. sat on both earlier sa dealers, space inside is almost the same. mas may feeling of luxury lang yung city.

Nacompare mo ba sir dashboard/instrument panel nila? dito ako nag decide na kunin si yaris dahil plain simple lang yung kay city cvt unlike ung cvt ng jazz maganda kahit cvt model lang kung mag city ka vx na kunin mo or jazz cvt nalang.

Yaris for me... Honda casa are strict with their pms. They would force you to have it on the indicated km or every 6months. Each maitenance would cost around min of 4k max of 15k.

For toyota, you could have it on km basis without voiding the warranty...

I'll take the yaris on this comparison. Coz I really like how it looks. Regarding PMS cost, I still find Toyota more expensive. For comparison my CRV which is a 2.0 liter, only cost me 4.9k for the first 6-month PMS, while my Altis which was a 1.6 Liter cost me 6.5k for the first 5000kms. Both fully synthetic oil ginamit. Yung every 5,000KMS na yun only will take you 4 to 5 months if you use your car daily. So in effect napapagastos pa ako sa Toyota ng sobra sobra.

Regarding the pms on your altis sir, 6.5k for the fully synthetic oil only? Alam ko free ang labor naman for 1k pms and 5k pms labor right? Ano pa po yung ginawa sa altis nyo nun? Regarding sa use, pwedeng everyday use pero malapit lang panghatid lang sa anak ko mga 20km a day lang balikan.

1k lang sir yung free ang labor. 5k may bayad na. Yung pinalitan aside from the fully synthetic oil is the oil filter, yun lang po ata.

I'll take the Honda 1.5 CVT on this one.

1.3 + ancient AT = sluggish drive & HIGH fuel expenses. I don't know why Toyota isn't implementing CVT yet on their econo cars.

1.5 + CVT = better fuel economy and overall driving performance.

Driving CVT takes some getting used to. I drive a 1.8 CVT (3rd Generation). I can do 23+ kms/L Hwy at 100kmh (1500rpm) / 80kmh (1250rpm). Nissan Sylphy which is a compact class car. 12-14kms/L in city is unheard of for such a size of car and engine but with CVT, it can. On bad traffic, it does 7.5-8km/L which is still not bad. You sit in a spacious quiet cabin, gentle suspension (not like the jarring rock-hard suspension of subcompacts). I think with Bridgestone Ecopia like on the 1.6CVT variant, it will be more frugal (I'm currently on stock Continental contipremiums).

The bad deal here is the yaris because for the price, you only get a 1.3 engine and dinosaur of a transmission. For a little bit more, you get 1.5 + CVT with Honda. To sweeten the deal, negotiate for a rear camera. It's really useful. Having driver aids doesn't make you less of a man (or a driver), you're just smart in using available technology.

TIP: Don't get too attached to your agent, they're just that, agents. They are not your friends. They are after you to sell. So maximize that, make them fight with other agents for your money. THe best agent with the most freebies win.

Btw, is it going to be every 5km? Or you can opt for a fully synthetic and go back after 10km?
