    BTW, its funny but people who advocate japanese cars end up modifying their Japanese rides to look like a EUROPEAN car.

    looked at and compared the vios, city, optra also but found out that for the same price of the vios 1.5 - i can get a lancer glx with 1.6 engine, airbag, disc brakes, bigger interior space so i got that instead great value for only 650k+

    With the cars you've mentioned, Vios would be the better choice.

    But with your budget, Hyundai Matrix (space, power and fuel consumption).

    Have you decided? If not I would like to add some comments. Both car look good, but if you plan to use it for 5 years...class and safety is an impt factor then go for the optra. Optra is a compact car, real competitors are the Altis, Civic, Lancer, sentra, lynx while Vios is a sub-compact car. Optra is a gas drinker it average only 6 to 8 km/liter, you really can't blame it, it weights 300 kg more than a Vios and 100 kg more than a Altis or Civic. The car got very thick fender for safety. Then again, Toyota is a more reliable brand, its vehicle are always tougher and Vios is toyota. If resale is a big factor go for Vios.
