Vios, since toyota is notorious for giving big discounts on sales and after-sales parts & service.

[LeOxe]

Overall, i would say Toyota Vios.

-- PMS: City (since only every 10k kms)
-- Parts, Labor, Serviceability: Vios
-- Annual Insurance Fees: Depends on the amount insured
-- Fuel Economy: Vios (especially the 1.3 Variant)

vios vios vios .

alin kaya ang mas mura imaintain, in terms of

-- regular pms -[size=2]intervals ? This goes to the city. But pms cost ? I`d go for the vios. Mahal imaintain ang honda. [/size]
-- parts, labor, serviceability -[size=2] [/size][size=1][size=2]vios.[/size] [/size]
-- annual insurance fees - [size=2]it depends. But most likely, it will still go to the vios.[/size]
-- fuel economy - [size=2]vios. Any variant.[/size]

vios, madami taxi, madaming parts...bago pa..normal FC either in 1.3 or 1.5 choices..

sentra, madami parts, pero dated na ung design ng local sentra natin..FC ng 1.3L ay worst than either the 1.6L at 1.8L

city..honda, medyo may kamahalan ang maintenance, mas madaming bagong knicknacs.. as for FC, pinaka matipid to wheater in 1.3L or 1.5L

[badkuk]

the vios would've been my guess too, pero di kaya mas mahirap/mabusisi ayusin ung engine niya? can your neighborhood talyer be able to handle it, or talagang casa ang bagsak mo?

while the sentra's engine is older, baka naman it's a lot easier to diagnose/fix since simpler siya compared to VVTi's/VTEC's

[alwayz_yummy]

ng vios 1nz medyo mabusisi nga than the 2E's of the previous lovelife corollas...pero taxi operatiors opt for these baka medyo madaling busisiin...

vtc ang sentra 1.6 and 1.8s.. ung 1.3 almost basic car, efi lang..

city may DBW, and madami pang ibang sensors, controllers, lalo na sa AT, medyo masakit pag nasira.

sa dami ng taxi at police car na vios, siguro yung mga mekaniko ay nagiging familiar na din sa engine nito

Kung mga mechanical parts lang ang involved sa repair eh kaya yan ng mahuhusay na neighborhood shop, pero kung ang problema ay related sa onboard electronics eh syempre shop na may qualified equipments for that particular repair. Lahat ng new cars ay parehas lang ang situation IMHO, casa pa rin ang bagsak kung di kaya sa labas.

Yup, we have a Sentra GX 1.3 and it's quite thirstier in gas compared to the two others. Probably because of the big built, but it seats more comforably.

city..honda, medyo may kamahalan ang maintenance, mas madaming bagong knicknacs..

Plus if you have the 1.3 i-DSI engine, you replace twice the number of spark plugs. It has 8, I think .. but the new one with i-VTEC 1.3 could easily be a favorite..

(ung FC ba u mean it Fuel Consumption?)

>>mas matakaw ba ang 1.3 carb type than 1.6 EFI?

May car is Nissan Sentra FE 99 model. For a long time im riding toyota big body from diff year models and engines. I found out mahina mga shocks at mga pang ilalim ng toyota and the cooling system is not that good..

>>can you pls give me some facts about nissan sentra FE (whether its a positive or negative points) ?

thank you very much and i hope that may quiries would merit your attention... god speed!

FC=fuel consumption

The 1.3 in the Sentra we're talking about here is EFI.

It's such an odd case in the Sentra we are talking about here, which is the GX. Its 1.3 EFI engine consumes more fuel than it's counterpart 1.6 and 1.8 engines which both have VTC (Valve Timing Control), simply because the big car feels so underpowered with such small engine. You can do well fuel economy in city traffic but once you go cruising on highways with passengers and the AC on, you will feel the heaviness of the car (as if it struggles to accelerate) so it drinks more gasoline.

That's one reason why I don't frequently drive my bro's Sentra GX.

Guys. Alternative.

GO for Hyundai ACCENT

Cheap siya i maintain kahit diesel. Ang tipid pa. Mas matipid pa sa tatlong yan. Pinaka mabilis pa.Mas mabilis pa siya sa Bagong Altis na 1.6 ang engine.

1.3 na vios,sentra,city

versus

1.5 na Hyundai Accent

Ang Engine nito german engineered kia ndi ka mpapahiya.

ALtis 1.6 engine 109ps lang
Accent 1.5 Engine 110ps n sia.

Go for test drive for u to believe
