    is this a good buy? this seems to be within our price range and i've read a few good comments on fuel efficiency, spacious trunk space. im wondering though if the size is suitable for tall people? my brother is around 6feet tall and a bit on the heavy side. or should we go for the altis instead?

    btw i meant the driver's seat, not the trunk space lol

    Best thing to do is, get your brother to seat on the two cars ( altis and vios ) then let him decide on which car he likes the most or feels comfortable with.

    In my opinion ... your brother would be better-off in an Altis. The Vios has "narrow seats" (no pun intended there) ... They seem to fit women more than men ....

    I drove my wife's 2010 1.3 AT to Baguio and back ... however and whichever I adjust the driver seat it still gave me a backache ...

    I've sat on an Altis and all I can say is of course maluwang siya compared to our Vios. I think the Altis' seats provide more support for tall people (back and leg support). Sa Vios kasi namin sakto lang katawan ko dun sa bandang gitna ng sandalan ng seat, sakto support sa likod ko (I'm 5'7" only medium build).

    Plus the Altis offers more comfy ride and more space.

    Agree here... Tight ang driver/passenger space sa Vios, especially to tall people. Altis should provide larger space and sitting area, so there goes.....

should we buy the vios 1.5G?
