Toyota Vios Or Hyundai Matrix
-
Argh!! Can't decide on which car to get! I'll just be using it as a means of transport; going to and back from school and supper late at night.
I like the Matrix because has a big interior and lots of compartments. The front seats can also be folded down so it's kinda like a bed...especially useful at fable, fort canning...
It's also quite unique for a youngster to drive such car ( I'm 18 ). It also has foldable tables at the back...like on a plane... This car really treats passenger good. On the con side, it's max power n torque is weaker than Vios' 1.5 VVTi engine...even though it's a 1.6l engine. That's probably the only thing I like about Vios...and it can do 1-100 in less than 10s. And also toyota has better reputation...
Which car will you guys get? Or any comments of these cars? -
Vios Definitly..
Matrix is a very old model already.. selling around 63 k now..
Vios... 63 k also..
I will say.. Matrix is a car.. something like a mini- MPV... but its Hyundai... its engine is not tt reputable... and consider this... Matrix... if u next time want to sell.... no one will buy... even thou got buyers... u will get a very big loss.
Vios on the other hand... is a new model.... looks quite sporty.. thou the interior is a bit crampy... but its definitly a car of some style.. performace wise is definitly better than matrix...
With 63 k... i rather get the Vios... Matrix is outdating soon.
or y not u consider the Corolla Altis.... around 73 k... price is gd for a car with spacious interiour... style.. and so on...
My altis is coming in march.. me young driver too ! lol... -

since its a new car u dun hafta worry abt break down and stuff but if its a 5yrs old car and above i'll go for toyota.
with the matrix u dun compromise on space and comfort but on vios u hafta do that. fuel comsumpution would be slightly better on the vios as its a 1.5vvti compared to hyundai 1.6NA engine.
another consideration is u might wanna check out hyundai matrix revo 1.8 auto. its exactly the same as the matrix 1.6GLS but much more powerfull. actually matrix with sports kit (window visor, side skirting,fog lamps, rear tinted glass,sun visor, rear spoiler) will make it look like a SUV leh... very nice
btw u damn lucky arh... pass only get to buy new car. your parents paying for it or wat? -
good. saves money.Originally posted by wuming78:except u can forget abt drinking. -

i'd rather dun drink n drive than drink n dun drive. -
Toyota, A fren of mine had a new hyundai (ascent I believe) which started to break down on him after 3 years, and he was a careful driver so I would really put a question mark on their engines.
-
Thanks guys, for your many cents worth!
I've decided...getting Vios...all the amenities I like are for passengers anyway...screw them!
However, I dislike BM's SE!! They're so proud... Anywhere else to get VIOS??? -
Agree..My Hyundai accent 1.5M has been giving me problems too. I broke down at CTE and the clutch pedal and oil box spoiled. I couldn't change and engage gears. I scrapped the car and bought toyota altis. Now driving the altis happily...Originally posted by tripp_4:Toyota, A fren of mine had a new hyundai (ascent I believe) which started to break down on him after 3 years, and he was a careful driver so I would really put a question mark on their engines. -
