It's a matter of space, utility and ground clearance or a city commuter.

Avanza:
- People hauler
- Higher ground clearance
- Bigger interior space
- Lakas sa gas
- Mahina hatak vs. Vios.

Vios:
- Ok AT performance
- Good FC
- Madali i-park, isingit
- Limited interior space/trunk

You're comparing a car and a small AUV? Question is how will you use it? Business? Basic transport? Family car?

Rob a bank? (joking) ..

Sat in the second row of a gen 1 Avanza taxi going northbound on EDSA. Almost hit my head on the roof when it ran over the "bumps" after the Ayala tunnel at 70kph.

All boils down to what you will need a vehicle for

And I read sa mga threads, the 1.3 of the Vios is different from the 1.3 of the Avanza. So they don't necessarily produce the same power.

85hp 2NZ-FE ang engine ng Vios, and 90hp K3-VE ang engine ng Avanza-which, as far as I know, is a Daihatsu engine fitted with Toyota's VVTi. I'd suggest you stay away from the Avanza 1.3, lalo na't A/T. Siguradong malakas sa gas iyan, lalo na kung mabigat lagi ang idadala mo. And since 1.3A/T yan, hihina din ang hatak. Kung Avanza, at least yung 1.5 ang kunin mo.

Practicality, i choose avanza. Hindi mo alam kailan mo kailangan ng space. Pero kung secondary car lang to at may bigger car ka, pwede na rin vios

I believe in the opposite of this - you shouldn't be buying a car to fit your once-in-a-blue-moon needs. Sure, there might be a time that you'd have to bring 7 people on a trip. But unless this happens quite frequently, it's not worth the tradeoff of less comfort, weaker performance and dismal fuel economy - all of which you'd have to live with every day.
