Toyota Vios 2011 1.3E A/T or Honda City 2011 1.3S M/T - Please help me choose

*TS: since hard earned money mo yan. Mas maganda siguro icheck mo with the dealers lahat ng choices mo. Try to compute with Sales Advisor of each brand yung operation and maintenance cost. Yung looks, very subjective yan. pwedeng gandang ganda ka sa style ngayon pero after 2-3 years, magsasawa ka na. Also, tignan mo din kung anong dealer ang available sa area mo. Mahirap din yung mgtr-travel ka pa ng malayo para lang ipa-pms mo. With your budget, take time in checking all possible choices. Masarap sa pakiramdam yung feeling na after all your effort, you've got what you need and want at the same time.


With your two choices: Vios ako pero E m/t. Yung price difference nung A/T at M/T, ipangpapalit ko ng 17" mags (Ala S Variant). :D

IMO kung hindi naman white kukunin mo na vios at hindi yung base model, hindi naman yan lalaitin na taxi.

Tsaka 'wag ka maniniwala sa sabi-sabi. Baka inggit lang yun at may kotse ka at sila wala.

Tama! Ang masasabi ko lang sa tao na nagsasabi mukhang taxi yung ibang model ng kotse, "Di ba kayo marunong magbasa? Mukha bang may nakasulat na word na TAXI sa ceiling ng kotse? O may nakasulat ba sa gilid ng kotse para maging taxi? Sa ibang bansa nga taxi ang benz, bmw, honda accord, toyota crown at toyota camry eh."

IMO, what's important is hindi mukhang jeepney o mukhang kalesa yung car okay na rin yun. Don't judge a person by his/her car we really don't know who owns the car.

maintenance cost mas lamang vios??!! e doble nga pms cost sa vios, dahil every 5k km. Mas matipid pati sa gas city, bigat ng katawan ng vios.

among the 2 choices, Toyota Vios 1.3E A/T nalang. why?

1. take this more as a compliment rather than an insult, but the Vios is the best starter car out there for first time owners who wants to own a brand new car (maintenance, parts). obviously napakaraming Vios owners, yes marami rin ang City owners pero mas marami lang talaga ang Vios.

2. it is A/T, more on city driving ka, and I don't know your driving skills pero at least matagal ka nang nagmamaneho or hindi, this the better one.

3. ang con lang ng Vios para sa akin ay, napakarami na nito sa kalsada at dahil doon, nakakasawa na (para sa akin lang naman). isa pa, kapag Vios hindi naman taxi ang concern ko, ang concern ko parang service car lang ng company eh sorry, samantalang hard earned cash mo naman ang ipangbabayad. but it's all in the mind lang, hindi naman ito mahalaga, ang mahalaga may sasakyan.

so go for Vios nalang kid.

Actually ngayon ko lang nalaman na bago na pala design nung Hyundai Accent kaya hnd ko siya sinama kasi ayoko tlga nung dating design.

Well medyo napaisip nga ako dito ang pogi nga rin , pero by the looks of the interior nya medyo nasasablayan ako - looks cheap (like vios) - based sa mga actual photos, but I will check it out personally this weekend.

yes sir, why don't you check it for yourself, test drive one now.

but it's all in the mind lang, hindi naman ito mahalaga, ang mahalaga may sasakyan.

Parang yung current civic. Pag labas, ang ganda.

Ngayon nakakasawa na, minsan sa parking booth, tatlo o apat dire diretso nakapila haha.

My only real beef with the Vios is that it's almost due for replacement.

Fuel consumption, maintenance, parts, looks, power, accessories

Fuel Consumption

- I haven't heard of the City's consumption yet but I have known other Vios owners who claimed to have +/- 20km/l in their highway driving. Probably around 80-90kph in the long stretch of SCTEX ? So yup, the vios might be the winner here though the City may catch up since the Vios is A/T while the City is in M/T.

Maintenance & Parts

- With no doubts, I`d go with the Vios. Cheap. Easy-to-find parts. Toyota e`. I have a Honda Civic FD and its maintenance is quite higher than what it should be ( comparing it with the PMS cost of its counterparts )

Looks

- City. No doubts. From the solid feeling of the interior to its looks from the outside.

Accessories

- Uhm. OEM accessories ? Well. The Vios doesn't come with foglights, same goes with the City. And the 1.3E Vios doesn't come with power side mirrors too which the City 1.3S has, i think.

My vote ? City 1.3S.
