what grade? 1.3L or the 1.5? E or G? ok naman ang vios as a daily driver. matipid and reliable. tingnan mo mileage. pa check mo sa mechanic na rin lahat.

Just check that everything is okay, bring a mechanic along. The mechanical package of the Vios is reliable naman, just make sure that there are no unforseen defects.

But I think that you can actually get a higher model for not much more than the 1.3 if you want all the extras.

be sure to ask about the fuses and headlights.

i've heard that Vioses suffer from easily blown fuses in their lamps.

I assume non warranty na yan since 3 years na... so better check if there are problems.... blown fuses, moist headlights, kabig problem (common if it still have the stock nct5 tires)... Check also PMS if it has... ok na 1.3 perokung 1.5 mas ok! maliit lang ata ang difference sa price for second hand vioses.... gudlak in ur new ride!

Yup. Check out the forums on that board. There are quite a lot of topics on Pros and Cons, and as mentioned by gonzo, a lot of topics on modding your ride

As long as the previous owner maintained it properly and it wasnt involved in any majore accident and there shouldnt be too much problems IMO.
