    I am planning to purchase VIOS J
    any idea how much it would cost to have these install?
    front fog lamps
    Touch Screen 7" display
    TVSS
    Wireless Doorlocl
    Muffler Cutter
    Side Visor

    mga around 20k lang kaya ito?


    why not E?
    kasi mas mura monthly ng J
    dont really care about ABS and Mags
    difference is 110k+

    you pay good money for it, and and then pray that you never have to need it.
    just like insurance.

    I'd also pay extra for the E instead of paying extra for add-ons (which can still be done later on). ABS is worth it's weight in gold.

    Same here.
    I have been saved at least 2 times already by ABS of my 10-month old car.
    Vehicles with no tail/brake light and road constructions with no clear visible signs at night are the situations where I was able to make use of ABS.
    After the close call, you'll just say thank you that your car has it.

    the reason I choose J is less electronic compare to E like sirkosero said although I prefer to have all power windows which wala sa mirage glx kaya i opt for vios
    regarding sa ABS naman I am not entirely convince about it
    I don't drive at night or very rarely I would do this (only in emergencies or paginabot) so I would rather have extra light(fog lamps) than abs for visibility

    may speed limit sa area din namin na 40kph pag nabunggo ka pa ewan ko n lang(may mga pasaway)
    sa open hway naman 70-80kph lang takbo ko kasi takot ako mabunggo at pag gabi 40-60kph lang di bale na lang turtle basta safe driver

    price difference is 110k+ i think

    Got a 1.3J as well. Didnt go for E kasi im a believer of more more electronics, more possible problems.

    I canvassed before when i was itching to get some "upgrades". Didnt proceed though.

    Fog lamp cheapest is 2.9k

    Touch screen cheapest is 7500 onwards

    TVSS you cannot get this even if you beg toyota. Aftermarket alarm pwede.

    Aftermarket alarm prices range from 1.3k for a taiwan unit to around 12k. Remote for keyless entry included

    Muffler cutter 800

    Side visor 1k

    Fog lamps doesn't add much luminance naman. Ginagamit ko lang fog lamps sa unfamiliar roads tulong sa paghahanap ng pot holes.

    Abs naman useful pag madalas ka sa provincial road. Dahil madaming bumubulaga kahit 60kph lang takbo mo magkaka gulatan parin yan. Aside from abs, ayun lang naman ang nadagdag na electronics sa E vs J.

    Bakit may binebenta pa na brand new na without abs kung hindi conforme sa standard safety feature. Dapat with abs na lahat para wala ng pagpipilian. Imho lng naman. My ride is vios j 2013. Nasa driver na yan kung talagang tanga.

    abs is expensive. they are still sported by some economy models.
    non-abs vehicles have not been labeled as illegal.
    abs is not yet a standard safety requirement... neither are safety airbags.. neither are tubeless tires.. neither are alcohol sensors on the steering wheel..
    ah well...

    Our laws don't require ABS, so manufacturers will not add the feature on low-end cars in order to save on costs.

    I agree with you, a car with the best safety features but in the hands of an incompetent driver isn't much good. However, wouldn't an adroit driver be even better off with a car that comes with complete safety features?

    I've had many instances where ABS has been very useful. One of the first things you'll learn when racing on track is how to maximize the brakes without engaging ABS. However, it's very tedious to learn threshold braking and execute it consistently. It's certainly not something you can expect that everyone can do.

    ABS helps you maximize your braking power even if you just mash the brake pedal (which is what most people do during panic situations). Cars without ABS will lock up when the brakes are floored and consequently will have greater braking distance.

    If you don't think that ABS helps, there are lots of videos on YouTube showing real-life comparisons of the braking distance of a car with ABS vs that of one without it. Most people don't notice that they've actually triggered ABS many times in their driving life, and likewise, many people driving cars without ABS have locked their brakes without them noticing (not all instances of locked brakes have noisy tire squeals, such as braking in the wet).

    While our local laws don't require ABS and airbags as standard (other countries do), multinational companies actually have strict laws on this when their employees avail of car plans.

    The usual requirement for multinationals is ABS, EBD, 2 airbags, and ELR seatbelts. They would allow you to get a Wigo G but not a Ranger XL.

    Safety above anything else, walang pinipiling lugar, oras or driver ang disgrasya. Ika nga nila better safe than sorry. Pero your money, your rules. Hehe.

    Ingat na lang sa pagmamaneho

    I always believe, ABS or any cars built with hi tech safety features wont save you if its really your time

    I definitely agree that the driver is still a car's best safety feature. I understand that what you're saying is that if it's your time, no matter how many safety precautions you take, you're dead.

    But following that logic and applying its converse, if it's not yet your time, then no matter how reckless you are, you'll be fine. So perhaps seatbelts, airbags, and ABS are unnecessary? What's the delineation between safety and recklessness if all is up to fate?

    Yes, rather have it and not need it than need it when you don't have it.
