Why Not Vios and Why Not the City; the disadvantage

**1D4LV** · August 26th, 2008 08:20 PM

why not the Vios? its too small. and i don't like the front part.
why not the City? its because the rear part looks like a cockroach, and the new city will be coming out soon.

I get it, sort of. I guess it's not peculiar to Pinoys then. We have them here too. The only difference is they set the bar a bit higher. For these snooty types, their image car is something in the same mold as Maseratis or something.

That said, pound for pound, those two cars seem like a dead heat to me. I myself would have a hard time deciding which one among the two I'd pick.

Heh. Just go with the flow. Honda!

In hindsight, I'd pick whoever can give me a better deal.

Why not Vios 1.3E - kase manual pa to hehe... although nka power windows na tsaka alloy rims na yta. Unlike yung City 1.3S CVT na sha... all powered na rin tsaka alloy rims. Sarap i-drive ng CVT...pwede ka mag drive kahit isang kamay lang..tapos yung isa kamay naka-hawak sa chin... nagpapa cute hehehe :D

Why not City 1.3S - a new City will be coming out soon. Mahal daw maintenance. Pag antukin ka sa byahe wag ito kunin mo...delicado...super smooth sha i-drive (CVT kse) bka makatulog ka. Pati steering wheel...walang ka-effort effort :D

I've never ridden a chery qq, i guess QQs are more "exclusive" than a vios then...

the hondas not being used as taxis is simply a matter of policy. a policy shaped by the very mentality of the people it's meant to enslave.

hondas aren't any more/less "exclusive" than toyotas. period. anyone disagreeing is honda's bitch hehehhehe

i agree to you sir.
vios 1.3M/T: interior not good compared sa City.
City 1.3M/T: back/rear not appealing.

i took 2008vios 1.3E kasi naka-airbag sa driver side saka naka-abs. i don't know kung yung City 1.3M/T have the same. saka i love toyota. . . no restrictions on how i will use it kasi binayaran ko naman. . . it always feels good to be free.

salamat po.

why not vios: center gauge cluster
why not city: a little more and you'll get the civic

Vios=kinda cramped
top end model near the altis price already (then go for the altis, it has better chasis)
FC is just a bit better than the altis in city driving

City=CVT durability issues
top end model near the civic price already (then go for the civic, it has better chasis)
FC is just a bit better than the civic in city driving
