March 7th, 2009 08:50 AM #12If your are an audiophile do not choose Vios. Medyo mahirap humanap ng HU na sakto or even close sa measurements ng default HU nila.
We have the 2nd gen vios and I do share the same feeling of getting bothered by the centered meters. However, SANAYAN lang pala... It has an advantage of course that's why nilagay yan ng Toyota diyan. They won't put it there for no reason (since they spend much on their r&d). Let's put it this way... If all cars used to have centered meters and one car manufacturer decided to be different by placing theirs on either the left (for lhd) or right (rhd), this would be the same reaction (of the majority?)towards the new design. Am I right?
That stigma that you mentioned is VERY true among us Filipinos. Pag nakita mong ipinanTAXI ung model ng isang auto, tingin ng karamihan, cheap na! I find it very immature to think that way. Try to go to other countries like Singapore and Germany, makikita mo ung ibang taxi nila Mercedes Benz (mahal nga lang ung flag down compared to other taxi models - I spent 40SGD parang glorietta to trinoma lang ung binyahe ko).
IMHO, mas makikita ang performance and reliability ng isang sasakyan kapag merong model na pwedeng ipangTAXI. Since most of the taxis in the metro are not undergoing periodic maintenance pero tumatagal pa rin (di ba amazing! hehehe!). Another advantage of which is the availability of spare parts. Branding/strategy lang ng Honda ung "the Prestigious" kaya hindi nila ipantataxi ung mga sasakyan nila. But mas prestigious ba ang Honda na BAWAL ipantaxi compared to BMW or MB? I have no intention to offend anyone. Just my two cents! Peace!

Mas OK yang Altis. The newer Vios has that dumb gauges and meters placed at the center of the dashboard. Perhaps the dumbest thing to do since standard na sa cars na sa harap ng steering wheel dapat ang mga gauges. Even BMWs and Mercedes do this in front of the steering wheel and it has nothing to do with prestige. Nilalagay ata sa gitna yan para pwede LHD or RHD. Para madali sa Toyota. And no offense but some people call this innovation? quality? OMG!
Plus indi ka paparahin ng tao (taxi....taxi po....). Again this also has nothing to do with quality. This has all to do with Vios being cheap and parts easy to come by.
Sa porma pwede makipag mano-y-mano Altis to a Honda.
Be careful with channels like "China Observer" on YouTube. There is a clear bias in their posts and...
