Corolla vs. Vios

[lawrence0721]

Why would someone choose a 1.3 corolla xl over a 1.3 vios? I am just puzzled to see car buyers wasting their money on a 1.3 corolla xl.

imho the corolla xl is very low tech compared to the vios...which is both its worst and best point. low tech means that its relatively easier to service, source parts, etc...meaning low maintenance. Ung vios kc is already EFI, and while it is more hi tech and potentially more fuel efficient, maintenance might be a more expensive. Thats why ung mga bagong taxis ngayon panay corolla xl. They're not particularly impressive rides, pero they're toyotas, and they're cheap to maintain


space, i think, is another consideration: ako mismo di ko rin masagot kung which of the two has bigger interior space, pero parang (and i emphasize the word parang) mas maliit ung interior ng vios kesa corolla xl


...still, nothing beats the big body AE101 B).

just my two cents

I agree with badkuk.

Alam ko mas malaki ang interior ng corolla compared sa vios. Madali din i maintain ang corolla dahil mejo matagal na sya sa market, marami ng available na 2nd hand parts, and kahit saang talyer mo dalhin, alam nila kalikutin ang makina ng corolla. IMO, may napatunayan na ding reliability ang corolla (bukod sa pagiging toyota nya) whereas the vios eh ngayon pa lang ite test ang reliability sa pinas.

and for around 550K, its a good buy.

Kung ako din ang bibili, I'll go with the 1.3 Corollo over the Vios. Maliit ang interior ng Vios....common complaint ng VIOS owners.

yeap i'd go with corolla, gaya nga ng sabi masmadadala mo kahit saang shop hehe

plus hindi siya mini compact... tama ba yung term?

[pepengtom]

carburetor (correct me if im wrong) yata gamit ng corolla xl pan-taxi edition e... pero still, matipid pa din un

[gearspeed]

Maganda sana vios like the features interior and exterior..Masikip lang.Kaya mas gusto pa nila yun Corolla na XL o kaya yung LE...

the corolla 1.3 xl has puny pulling power though! :P (although have never driven a vios..) and the mirrors are a joke! they are not powered, and they don't have the little lever to adjust them from inside.. so you have to roll down the window (which is not powered..) to adjust them! and, the brake and clutch pedals are too close for comfort.. (or maybe it's just me..) twisted my leg on that..

pissword:plus hindi siya mini compact... tama ba yung term?

subcompact ata ang tawag


yep, ung (lack of) pulling power din ung complaint ko sa ride ko...2E lang kasi, not to mention more than a decade old na...tsaka medyo kinakabahan ako pag puno kami sa kotse't paakyat kami ng rampa B).

u can install all the mods u want, but i don't think i'll ever see a 1.3L beating a stock 1.6L in a drag B).

imho cars like the 'rolla xl aren't really meant to be pang porma...ung pagkatipid kasi ung laban nya .

badkuk, AE92 ba yan or AE101? isa lang sagot diyan: 4AGE Hi-Horse!
