January 17th, 2011 01:58 PM #1Hi mga sir, we'r planning to buy this month our 1st car. Unang option pa din sana ang vios na 1.3J pero how bout other alternatives like ford fiesta, lancer glx, mazda2 or even 2nd hand na civic? What are the pros and cons again sa Vios? We have a ready budget and we just can't decide kung san kami makakasulit sa hard-earned na pera namin. Tulong naman dyan. Thanks!

just a short specs of the vios:
pros: fuel efficient engine, power windows and locks, good resale value, reliable, costs 599K plus discounts
cons: common already, steel rims with cap.

Forget the 2nd hand civic, not worth the hassle.
IMO, the 1.3J is just enough to get you from point a to point b. Actually, the power windows is already a good plus. And looks arent that bad either, except obviously the black trims on the doors, the lacking chrome bits and the alloy rims. But that isn't hard to replace, thing is ... if you want to save money the 1.3J is just alright.
I don't know what your working budget is since it's like you're considering the fiesta which is on the sub-800k grounds already compared to the 1.3J which is just 595k if im not mistaken.
Forget the Lancer GLX. Plastics aren't that solid, looks are old, FC is quite bad.
Depends really on your preferences.

No offense but the Vios J does look better than the taxi model of the Avanza.
And, if the TS wont haul that much ... I guess his original choice would already suffice.
But then again, it's his call.

January 17th, 2011 08:30 PM #10Sir, the TS is asking for suggestions to get the best bang for his hard earned bucks.
I just suggested to consider the avanza as per experience of others, the 1.3J delivers (mine is 1.5G auto).
The TS isn't asking for looks or "porma". He is asking for utility at an affordable price. Now isa na dito is the avanza.It is a very versatile utility vehicle.
What I do not understand is the attitude na pag gina-gawang taxi, thumbs down na agad. It is to the advantage of the owner pag ginagawang taxi ang modelo ng sasakyan niya for the reason that dadami ang spare parts.
So, roll eyes din kaya pag nakita na MB 500 SE ginagawang taxi o kaya yung BMW or the Corolla Crown/Camry? Just a thought
I don't know why people continue to try and take Kennon Road from Rosario. Its perpetually being...
