07 Vios 1.3 J vs Current City 1.3

[edzzz]

Guys help naman. Company is provided. Company will shoulder maintenance and gas consumption. Both are manual tranny. Lady will drive. Will own after 5 years of service.

Comparisons:
Vios - manual windows, no mags, hub cap lang ata ang provided. Mica red
City - all powered. HU is iPod aux ready. Bluish Silver

help naman for inputs especially those who have one and re-sale value.

Thanks

clear choice is the city... why? all powered na, naka mags pa. HU is IPOD ready pa. i am assuming that the vios is the j variant, so talagang bare yan.

after 5 years, imho, it will have a very slight edge in resale value.

Go for the City esp. since the company will be the one shouldering the maintenance costs anyway. Plus, there are more convenience features which the driver will appreciate.

The newer Vios should have the edge in resale... and it's got a slightly roomier cabin, but I think that after five years, the lady in question will be thoroughly sick of the manual windows... :lol:

I'd go for the City, myself... all-power, much, much bigger trunk space. Perfect as a starter family car or as a practical commuter.

But you should test-drive both cars... the Vios has a somewhat softer suspension that might appeal to the girl, also.

i stand corrected from my previous post. yes, the vios should have a slight edge in resale because its a 2007 model.

if niky said that after 5 years, the female driver will be tired of the manual windows, i personally think it would be below a year before she feels that she's tired of rolling up her windows... and besides, hindi papantay ang braso nya... magiging mas malaki ang kaliwang braso nya.

mags nung city eh yung wlang spoke. yung plato lang.

Nahihirapan na nga sya sa pagdecide. Is the power window really an edge?

I heard Honda power windows are PITA and laging nasisira?

Go for the Vios. Vios E if you some extra cash. The City's body is not very stable when you go to rough roads.

I beg to differ.

In back-to-back testing, the current Yaris/Vios and Jazz/City react in much the same way to bad potholes in provincial driving... the only difference is that the Jazz has less ground clearance than the Toyotas (not sure about the City). The Toyotas have softer springs, but they still have limited suspension travel, so they'll still thump over bad potholes.

Any difference in ride comfort or off-roadability is too slight to be noticeable. And we drove over 150 kms during that test.
