March 27th, 2017 04:07 PM #704hi, new forum member here but i've been reading the forums since last year
and been learning a lot. thanks, guys
i'd rather create a new post specifically for this but i am not allowed yet
so apologies if this isn't a yaris-centered post
my family decided on buying a new car this coming may
since we were getting really stressed out by the daily commute
there's only going to be 2 adults and a 3 year old child as daily passengers
the daily trip will mostly involve twice going through
1. quirino highway
2. mindanao avenue
3. visayas avenue
4. central avenue
with some side streets in between
we'd like the trips to be comfortable even during the summer
we also plan on going on some out-of-town trips. ie subic zoo, tagaytay, etc
first-time buyers here. so far, we're torn between the latest models of these three:
Current SRP Latest Models(?)
1. Wigo 1.0 G A/T PHP563k 2016
2. Yaris 1.3 E A/T PHP795k 2017
3. Vios 1.3 E A/T PHP812k 2017
at first, we were really set with the Wigo. it fits the budget really well.
we've ridden on one before and liked the experience.
plus, we figured that it would have an easier time on the side streets we have to go through every day.
however, my parents, dissuaded us from the Wigo, saying the engine is a daihatsu and not a 'proper' car.
they also said that hatchbacks, in general, are not good for the highways since a co-worker of them
felt his being carried away by the wind due to the speed of the other vehicles on the highway
and immediately sold his hatchback and bought a sedan
i've tried searching for negative reviews on the daihatsu engine used but can't find any
moreover, my parents can't quantify what exactly it is that's wrong with the daihatsu engine or what a 'proper' car is
i've read up on some shared experiences on the net with long-distance driving and baguio trips via the wigo,
and the reviews range from fine to excellent considering the specs
then, my parents offered to pay for the difference between the Wigo and Vios so we can get a 'proper' car
and the confusion mounted.
we feel that the Wigo is roomier and taller than the Vios,
and we like that the back seat can be folded up for big items we need to transport
the Vios has CVT and Dual VVTI on its side, but my husband said that 4speed in Wigo is reliable enough
and we figured with our lighter car, fuel consumption should not be that high
etc etc
then we found out about the Yaris which from what we've read seems to be a Vios hatchback
we like the 40-60 foldable rear seat. our child can sit on the non-folded one in a child seat
the height is same with Vios, though, so the Wigo still seems taller.
there is also no front fog lamps which is necessary for any trip to tagaytay/baguio/etc
we tried finding online customer reviews of Yaris, though, but can't find any
i've been scanning the roads and mall exhibits ever since january and i still have not seen any
we have no one to ask about its performance and i'm loathe to rely on just paid reviews or sales agents
we haven't test driven any of these yet but we're planning to
just, right now, we want the doubts i mentioned above answered
so what do you guys think about these 3 cars?
if you were in our circumstance, which would you pick?
what can you share that can help clarify the doubts/questions we have in mind?
thanks in advance and sorry for the long post

May 22nd, 2017 10:52 PM #710Kamusta naman po ang owner experience ninyo sa yaris? Ok po ba? Kamusta po ang engine vibration sa 1.3 model?
Agree that this needs to be peer reviewed. Sounds too good to be true.
