Toyota's 08 Vios 1.3E M/T or Yaris M/T

**go555** · November 15th, 2007 09:04 PM

Hi guys!

Feedback naman from owners of subject cars in terms of fuel consumption and why did you consider getting it rather than another car.

Vios 1.3E M/T = P650k
Yaris 1.5 M/T = P713k less P50k = P663k

TIA

I own both Yaris M/T and the '08 Vios but it's a 1.5 variant. I'll reccomend the Vios 1.3 for fuel efficiency, space and comfort. The Yaris has also great space but with the 1.5 engine it consumes more fuel. The Yaris is also fun to drive compared Vios.

yaris is shorter and lighter than the vios so the fuel consumption maybe comparable...with the current promo of the yaris i go for the yaris

Thanks guys! I can't wait to get our white Yaris M/T. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I see it as a "baby Fortuner". Just thinking aloud.

Yaris hatch does look good. Very euro looking, well it was designed in France.

Does anybody know if the RS style bumper is available here?

PS: I wonder when the facelifted model will get to the RP/Thailand.
Below is the facelifted JDM Vitz.

I still find the Yaris expensive for it's size. Although it definitely looks more chic than the '08 Vios, the Vios will be more practical for me. Space wise.

I can't wait to see my white Yaris 1.5 M/T. I'm getting it tomorrow afternoon. The following comparison made me choose Yaris over Vios.

Yaris 1.5 M/T (P663k) Vios 1.3 E M/T(P649k)
mags 15" 14"
engine 1.5 1.3
gross wt 1470 1485
LxWxH 3750 x 1695 x 1520 4300 x 1700 x 1460
min. ground clearance 140 150
max output 107HP/6000rpm 85HP/6000rpm
max torque 142Nm/4000rpm 122Nm/4000rpm

I've read from one thread that Vios 1.3 gen2 is 100kg heavier than Vios 1.3 gen1, thus, Vios 1.3 gen2 may be underpowered for its body.

I find this discussion somewhat funny.

Because what you call the "Vios" is actually the Yaris sedan.

They're the same car. Except the Yaris hatch is only sold in "G" variant (2 airbags, ABS) compared to the Yaris sedan.
