brand new vios or 2nd hand altis???

[vsb]

i need your opinion. my budget is up to 550k only (car plan) latest model is 2002. i'm choosing between a brand new vios 1.3 m/t or a second hand altis 2002 model. what should i go for?

the upsides of a brand new vios are:

-new so less head ache
-warranty of 3yrs or 100k
-better fuel consumption

upsides of altis are:
-more powerful engine
-more leg room (noticable ba vs vios?)

if you were in my place, what would you choose?

Look for Altis 1.6G....... all disc brakes/ABs/EBD/Sideskirt/15"tires..... Ok na yung 2001-2003 model!

i will still go for the altis. since car plan yan, mas mataas ang resale value nyan. (tingin ko, mas mabagal din ang depreciation ng altis..) . imho.

[mazdamazda]

i'd go with the altis.... am never really fond of subcompact cars...

plus, there was a vios review posted here... wherein the interior of the vios us just too cramped and that the space between the driver and front passenger is almost nonexistent.

2nd hand altis. madami ka pa mabibili na fresh pa.

A year ago we were able to buy a 2001 1.6E for P585K. Super fresh pa.

altis din ako...parang masikip nga ang loob nang vios....

[luckytruck]

Altis all the way, basta low mileage

anything less than 15,000 kms is practically brand new na rin.

[ssaloon]

go for the altis!

altis ako just don't ask carlo lam naman natin na vios lover yun eh.

[boyscout]

ako cguro vios ako. kasi brand new less hassle at siguradong walang problema. ( at sarap ng amoy ng new car smell ).
saka mukhang tuloy tuloy na pagtaas ng presyo ng gasolina kaya makakatipid ka pa.

[wickedjayjay]

altis... if your looking for pogi points
but if ur opting for something more economical and cramped up car vios... tipid sa gas nd masikip... if your a tall person i think altis cause u'll have a hard time squeezing your legs in pag may pasahero ka...

[Marantz]

I'd go for the brand new unit, kaya lang if you want pogi points, second hand altis is the way to go!

Chris is this your thread?

[bardigones]

vios for me.

Vince,

The vios is actually maporma also...and economical. Dude, i suggest mag vios kanalang, got to be practical with the cost of gas right? I'm sure Sarj will like it hehe.

Its a vvt-i engine so it has a powerful engine. Will cost more kasi bnew but your confidence level is higher. Warranty pa.

Family car ba? The honda jazz and city are also up your alley dude.

Daming pera ha...nabenta na ba CB-1 mo?

[muffer]

bro, altis na, di ka nakakaawa tignan sa kalye, why? eh eveyone knows ng mura lng ang vios. sino mag aakala na 2nd hand mo nabili yan altis, at least benta mo man agad di pa rin ganong kababa, ang konsumo mo sa gas depende lang naman sa driving manners/habit mo kung reckless ka sympre, takaw, todo apak, laklak ka gas, cool ka lang sa kalye pogi ka pa sa tsikot mo. pag binusinahan ka lalo mong bagalan... and anytime you need power, available agad, di ka bibitinin especially sa overtaking at akyatan kahit loaded ka pa

[pajerokid]

Altis for me siguro. Just get a fresh unit na wlang bangga.

[pepengtom]

altis, britney fans ang buyer ng vios e...

[mbt]

Altis. simply put, it's engineered to a higher plane of existence.

plus, it's tough to warm to the vios' center-mounted instrument cluster, and good luck with the shoehorn when you've got friends who will be tagging along hehe

[predo]

yup..you'd be better with Altis..power, interior space, pogi points, and re-sale value..vios kasi may nagsusulputan na ng mga taxi..

[yebo]

altis. mas maganda spelling kesa vios e.

more leg room, bigger boot space, etc.
