VIOS or SENTRA or CITY or JAZZ

[niky]

It should be okay.

It's often faster to make a claim if it's in-house, but at that price... what the heck... it's more expensive than what we paid for the XUVi (and that's a 1m car!)

As for me, ill go for either Jazz or Sentra

Jazz looks cute and economical.

Sentra for ride and safety.

Just to let you know, Toyota, Honda and Nissan are safe bet.

vios is the best choice for me!

hei guys, thanks sa lahat ng replies.
i chose the honda city 1.5 M/T, medyo nagover sa budget, but im cool with in

McLeor - try to huggle with your SA re the insurance. from my recent experience, the first quote was very high. after ilan tawaran, i get a considerable discount sa insurance.

Also, check mo din options mo sa ibang dealers. When i was checking on Toyota Vios, i went to two dealers and compared their quotes. Try mo sa Toyota Pasong Tamo, i can give you the name of the SA who assisted me there. Maayos kausap at maasikaso. Kaya medyo nahiya ko nun sabihin ko, i opted for a honda instead.

And yes, un rate nun in-house financing mataas, pero after ilan tawaran, bumaba din naman un rate. Mas mababa nga pala ang rate ng mga banko.

Basta un lesson learned ko when shopping for a car, check all your options at wag mahiya tumawad at humingi ng freebies at wag magmadali.

How much is the average yearly maintenance cost ng Honda at Toyota for say the first 5 years? I'm really eyeing Honda dahil maganda talaga ang quality, parang mas solid yung body. Kaya lang ang concern ko kasi is the ABS and SRS which isn't available dun sa 1.3 na model. Plus mahal daw yung maintenance cost.. Totoo ba na aabot ng 7k yung checkup and other prev. maintenance work?

For the vios naman meron ABS and SRS (driver's side nga lang) and cheaper i-maintain. Pero my past car kasi was a 96 corolla and well, sakit niya talaga yung kalampag.

So well, I'm comparing the cost of maintaining the car and the overall quality. Hope you can give your input. Thanks in advance!

Oh and btw, it's the same dilemma for me. City ba o Vios...?

Hi jing! What dealer did you get you're honda city 1.5 M/T? May nakuha kang discount or freebies? (That model is in our list of choices for early next year's purchase, crossing fingers). Thanks much!

Hi Guys! Why is it seem that in the Philippines, no one's posting the fuel consumption of the new Vios (and yes, i have looked around )? And the only review I've read is of Top Gear's article. Mahirap na ba makakuha nito for review at least the mainstream motoring media?

For the vios naman meron ABS and SRS (driver's side nga lang) and cheaper i-maintain.

The Vios 1.3 E M/T (* PHP 649,000) comes with driver's side airbag and abs.

If its me, I'd get the new Vios. The 1.3E is good deal esp. with the ABS and airbag (even its just the driver's side only) .

The new Vios still uses the same 1.5li (1NZ-FE) and 1.3li (2NZ-FE) engines from the previous gen Vios. Fuel consumption should be more or less similar.

Toyota Vios (1st gen)// 1.3 li VVT-i (2NZ-FE) //m/t // 16.8km/li
Toyota Vios (1st gen)// 1.5 li VVT-i (1NZ-FE)// a/t // 15.34km/li

I'm guessing those results are from mixed highway and city driving, with more mileage covered in the highway.

Yep, I think I'll be getting the Vios 1.3 E. Shucks, sana it pushes through. Dapat talaga nga matic kunin ko dahil sa sobrang sama ng traffic dito sa manila pero ang mahal ng matic ng vios (since walang AT na 1.3 makina). So anyway... since manual and pawis-steering naman gamit ko before, ok lang rin. And i just hate it when people see a girl driving and assume na matic lang ang kaya niyang imaneho. Harhar :P Salamat sa input

Gen 2 Vios is 100kg heavier than gen 1 Vios, thus fuel consumption may vary. I hope gen 2 Vios users will post their FCs and also Yaris users. I'm contemplating on Vios E or Yaris MT as P13K lang yun difference sa price.

jing, thanks sa advise, pero naka decide na ako for toyota alabang, though wala pa yung car, kase ka a approve pa lang ng loan ko kanina nag text na bank eh :-)

Instead of going in-house financing (8.5% 12 months), I went straight sa bank, (5.+% 12-months)....

for insurance, sabi nung bank manager, pwede din daw di in-house, so from 45K (in-house price) eh nakakuha ako ng less 30K sa PGA, with package pa na "worry free driving" , may towing service etc...laki difference, pambayad sa chattel.

swerte nga yung SA sa Toyota, kase di na kami lumipat sa ibang dealer, eh mali mali pa compute sa quote nya, tapos walang sales talk...basta pinipilit lang kami na mag bigay ng P5K for reservation, e di naman kami nag mamadali

Jing, baligtad tayo, sa Honda naman ako nahiya, kase ang bait nung SA sa Honda, as in maasikaso pa, kaso , nag decide na ako sa VIOS. Laki kase difference ng itsura kesa dun sa 1st gen. City kase eh looks exactly like the 1st gen, medyo nagsawa lang siguro ako sa itsura kase 2 of my neighbors naka City (this is my first choice too kase ganda daw performance)

Wala na man talagang choice ano? Yung City at Vios talaga ang pinakamura na sasakyan ngayon. Di kanaman talo kasi pag mas marami sa daan, yung parts ay sigurado ring di mahalin. Eh tanong ko lang bakit naging baliktad ang mundo? Ang Hyundai Accent na ngayon an pinaka mahal sa class niya! At saka sa halos lahat ng linya, mas mahal na ngayon ang Hyundai...

[_Qwerty_]

nakuha mo na vios mo?? 30K for the insurance is still too much I think.. dapat dyan nasa 18T to 20T lang..

Herbie - sa Honda Cars Marikina ko kumuha. Yes, may mga unlisted freebies ko nakuha. Siguro nakulitan sa kin un SA kaya binigyan ako ng maraming freebies...hehehhe!
McLeor - congrats sa new car mo. happy and safe driving.
