Time to replace... 1.5G Vios or 1.6L Optra?

[federal]

Guys

Got an old 1.6L '99 GLI Corolla I want to trade-in... but don't know to which car


a) 1.5G Vios A/T
-top of the line
-710,000
-looks cool with digital stuff
-small though and I feel kinda awkward with small cars. Nasanay me sa Accord.
-tipid sa gas so it's a plus.

b) 1.6L Optra A/T
-680,000
-secondliner model (LS came out with 6cd changer and Airbags)
-First time to own a Chevy so not sure about the re-sale value. Am suffering this dilemna with my Ford Escape.
-Not a compact car so ok naman dba...

you might want to take a look at the optra wagon too. looks good for me

we have a 2004 vios A/T. what i can say is, mabaho aircon. sa overtake, kailangan talaga floor the gas tapos may mga shift shock pag lipat ng gear. lalo na pag overtake.... sabi nila typical daw yung sa matic na hindi cvt. look for vios club website para alam mo mga hinaing ng mga may vios. btw, ang matic na vios when n drive, 2, or L and ur on a slope, umaatras. normal lang daw yun sabi ng toyota. btw, ours gets about 17 km/l

dont know about optra pero may mga nagsasabi its a lemon car and sucks sa fuel economy.

try honda for a change....1.5L jazz maybe.

lakas nga sa gaso ang optra. average ata nya is around 6 k/l city, 8-9k/l h-way.
ayaw mo lynx? o altis? o civic?

optra wagon looks nice.

am open to vios or city and jazz. optra came to my mind kasi it's mura and ka-price ng vios/city/jazz tapos sedan class pa.

dba mahal vios at 710k compared to 680k optra? jazz is 685 1.3CVT... mas mulawag ba ang jazz compared to city and vios? scary naman yung reviews ng vios parang sirain... umaatras meaning hina talaga?

Now that jazz and city are included prospects... am more confused. will test drive 1.6L optra this week and vios 1.5G too... OK ba 1.3L CVT ng honda City and JAZZ in gas consumption?

Although I noticed in the polls that Vios outranked City...

I prefer Toyota over Chevy. So, Vios na.

ganda CVT ng city tsaka ng jazz. ganda ba fuel efficiency and consumption nya.

Suggestion ko wait until next week muna before buying. March 3 ang official debut ng all-new Civic. Mukhang pasok naman yung budget mo sa entry level trim.

[Psylocke]

Get a Corolla Altis

[wilcats]

u'll love the jazz vtec ;)

[Bry]

The Altis is also a good alternative. The downside is malapit na yata ang all-new model. I think late this year na.

[stormrider]

Optra or Vios?
Vios. Its just as big as your old Corolla.

[mcbry]

how about the new honda city 1.5 vtec? ganda na ng bagong itsura nya. parang maliit na civic pero malakas ang engine pero matipid sa fuel consumption. pwede pa ma fold yung rear seat nya .

[stormrider]

mcbry's right. Kung Vios lang, why not consider the City or the Jazz. Mas sulit for the money.

[gearspeed]

Vios ka na lang but if you still want an Optra then join the Chevy club philippines.

[SupreMacy]

makaibang market kasi ang vios at optra.
magdecide ka na lang muna kung ano talaga ang gusto mo.
it depends on what are you really looking for.... space, power, fuel economy, budget.

wala kasing sasakyan na papasok lahat ang preferences ng buyer.

[ale828]

not worth it yung Optra. Resale value is bad, plus gas consumption is equal to an SUV. I get around 7km/L in my Optra LS A/T but that with economical city driving.
get the Vios, mas tipid sa gas, space is tight but i don't think you need to much space since you said you already have an Escape.
Look at the jazz too or wait for the new civic pero am not sure if it will fit your budget.

I got my Altis J for P714,500 including 1 yr insurance (free) and LTO registration na. It has driver's side SRS airbag, in-dash CD player, and drives like a charm, tipid din naman sa gas. My gf's altis is 4 years old na pero still drives and rides good. Check with your toyota dealer kung tapos na ung promo ng free insurance. Otherwise, it's the best bang for your buck.
