Hi all sifoos

My family is buying another car soon, we alrdy have other saloons at home so this one will mostly be driven by my youngest bro who has jz start working.

I heard the current Vios and Forte will be out of stock soon so we plan to book the car by nxt wk. or else we will wait for the new vios.

My question is which one should we buy? the Vios G limited or Forte 1.6? I have brochures for both cars and it seems the Forte has more things and a bigger cc engine.

My bro's gf say Vios is better as it looks nicer but I disagree, but my uncle who use to drive a Spectra says dont buy korea car or becoz alot of problems. My dad also prefer the Toyota because we have an altis at home, but he also agree that forte looks good, the dashboard also looks high quality than vios.

need advice ASAP as my bro has started working since last month and needs a new car urgently. My friend pointed me to this forum to get suggestion so I hope you can help me.

"My bro's gf say Vios is better as it looks nicer "

--------

vios - chick magnet?

anything but vios..seriously

never thought of the prblm of resell value.....forte has low resell value?

I like forte has bigger engine.

haha maybe. gals seems to like the vios

why? what is wrong with vios?

Some girls just don't have good taste. Or maybe she loves fish, has an aquarium.

just stsrt work sudah mao new high face value car?
buy saga or viva for him enuf, later ask him upgrade use his own money

if the car is only to fetch u from A to B, get vios, it has good fc as well, already proven since 1st gen vios, they use the same engine and gearbox in the new vios, that's all about vios; if u want more spacious, sometime going out with family or friends with 4-5 ppl in the car, more gadget like gps, reverse camera, auto dim rear mirror, c-segment, ESP, low interest rate promo (as low as 1.68% P.A) then get forte

Inspira

Edit : Oops.. sorry... need to advice you... other then being a great car for its price.. it has zero "face/ego" value... so if you want face or want to have chick, dont buy it

it's a lancer wor!?

Forte if you care about his life (better yet Fiesta, Rio, 208), Vios if you care about his money.

can money buy life?

Is my dads choice, he will pay downpayment. My bro want a CRZ but my dad said no becos the car is shared with the family.

thanks this is useful info

I like Inspira, but my family dun like Proton

Buy Inspira, ask the salesman for 2 free Mitsu logo, and replace the proton logo.

Instant face value!

I dun understand. what you mean by vios if I care abt his money?

no hatchbacks, as it will be shared with family, my dad wants a saloon.

Sure. Vios convenient and cheap to own (they say), the other cars expensive (are they?). But safer. If there is anything it will protect better. Or even avoid accidents.

i think he's talking about vios has better resale value

+1

CRZ... that's an awesome proper SPORTS car!

Super performance.... chick magnet! Very well worth it.

I'm not talkign form spec sheet only ok! I actually test drove it with my wife... and she instantly say, how come no power wan? how come corner dont feel planted, how come so crampy, how come etc etc

you test drive the car with your wife and the salesman stay behind ah?
did you whack corner and fly him fly behind?
btw on top of the rear seat is the rear windscreen right? sure kena sun

I take the sweeping corner near K3's house... the salesman say "Er er slow abit... here last week got MYVI turn turtle wor"

I almost wanted to ask him "CRZ same class as MYVI ah?!"

dhey of coz not the same class with MYVI
MYVI is a mini Altis ok???

Yes, resale value, everywhere got spare parts, every mechanic knows how to fix such an outdated car.

Fiesta LX sedan. Good price, best safety equipment and a body that is proven to be very strong and safe.

Where are the experts on these cars

viosTRD Jayraptor

if Family is involved most probably it is Vios.

family car?

if u really meant a decent family car then forte.
if worry for family comment and resale value, !@#$%^& this and that go for vios.

haha, gd idea. mayb i will do that when i buy one for myself

i see. what abt the part where he say if care for his life buy forte? mean forte is safer?

my dad is buying for our family, but mostly use by younger bro. i think forte is better for the same price lor, my dad stil 50-50.

vios trd looks very sexy, i like but dunno if my dad wanna pay extra for it.

thank u all for voting. seems forte and new vios is very close.

does anyone know when the new vios is coming?

Yes. Should be a bit at least. But the Fiesta LX Sedan would be much safer than that. Around 80k...

(Can't recommend Rio and 208 since those are hatchbacks only).

Another alternative could be the Polo sedan... not as safe as the Fiesta, but perhaps somewhere between Vios and Fiesta. Got good discounts probably...

vios TRD is the last thing i will buy from toyota.

want vios get the lowest spec or the most E spec.no point get high spec.

Polo sedan........

Makes me chuckle everytime I see one on the road...

Why? Amongst the B segment sedans I think it is the best looking one... only the City comes close. Vios looks... not nice, Almera too. Fiesta sedan is just wrong. But the Polo looks quite grown up, proportions are relatively good (in the flesh at least), ...

wah you are summoning the professional

Bro... ViosTRD is C-Segment... weren't you following?

That's like calling a CRZ a hyper car. Like a Zonda or LaFerrari.

Bro... u missed my review on my test drive of the CRZ? Its a PURE BRED SPORTS CAR yo!

2nd hand car for 5 years, farm NCD till 55% then you buy watever u want. Just start working mau pandu vios forte, apa la
life is not easy man, 1k monthly commitment is not something a fresh grad should do. Better keep more cash flow for something else.

Read my siggy

I wonder where is the 2 expert /

TS,

hope my experience will help u...
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=60740374

Cannot Be !!
Now who is saying the truth ?
you or viosTRD ?

He says vios feels like C-segment ..
No need fix anything ...

Are you working for korean as salesman ?

my business mainly deal with japanese related companies...

btw, u can try to buy a vios and see lo...

i still believe with viosTRD..a true worshiper of vios. hidup vios!

tok kok pandai. worship car pandai.

When asked to give genuine advise, bayang pun tak nampak.

As expected la

i vote for New Vios!!! coz i dun think u able to get Forte now...my SA finding the stock like a week ady...still cannot confirm with me got car or not...=="... i paid dp and signed loan agreement ady...>.<"

Mind guide a bit how did you get to quote me without reply any comment? Need to learn more about this forum functions.

Back to topic. If only comparing these 3 choices.

If TS wanted B-segment, interior space could be compromised, point A to B, best RV and FC main priority where not a fuel drop less, go for Vios. Could still get you 12km/L in real city jam driving condition. Acceleration 0-100km/h in 11.8s. RV king and Toyota has best reliability, can't deny that. Ofcourse, the new Vios 2013 is better. I would forgo the Vios dugong and wait if I wanted Vios.

If TS concern is more towards family oriented, wanted something more than basic, can go for Forte. 0-100km/h in 11.6s, FC city traffic could get you 9.2-10km/L if stuck in jam all the time. RV is healthy & reliability/durability high. Maintenance is low and cheaper spare parts. Go for Forte if TS wanted space, build quality, handling, gadgets.

Conclusion : TS should bring few adults with him to try out everything. Most important, never trust the feel but instead take reading, measure and calculate the results for more precise accuracy.

Example, cars that has very sensitive plate on the accelerator would give the feel of powerful. The trick behind this, pressing the 1/4 of the pedal in car A could equivalent to 1/3 in other cars. Look at the meter RPM vs speed instead when pressing the pedal 1/4, 1/2, 1, etc. Handling test, if possible, get to somewhere secluded without endangering others to try hard cornering and simulated defensive driving evading object in zig zag.

use the following tag. replace your username with the forumer name you wanna tag.

Thanks. I'll try in future if possible.

Now picking fight over Vios. Promoting your Inspira here Mr Sellman? Where is content of your car talk? Aren't you suppose to introduce Inspira and include your pros over the others under similar budget?

ask you come out you dun dare... talk KOK u pandai

Of coz la, he memang is ma.

He can tell what car by smelling only, can you??

Fiesta sedan is too ugly lor, my colleague drive one, everytime see I also dunno why anyone wanna buy that car.

Hi Jayraptor, thank u for your explaination. is it correct that forte is faster than vios? my uncle who own a spectra say korean car very unrelable becoz he spend a lot of $$ to fix it every yr.

i dun want my family to blame me if i suggest forte but it rosak later.

Cause it's great value for money. The Vios is ugly too. Or the Almera. Still people buy...

Older korean car really got prob, but since forte was out. Not much ppl complaint bout this car.

according to Jayraptor, you need to smell, but i wonder why he has not mentioning it since got bashed

You are questioning his special talent

nono, TS, remember to smell, its important

Spectra when intodruced that time is a low tech substandard alternative and not even on par with Japanese made. Alpha & Beta engines are either old 90's tech MMC engines or modified from 90's tech MMC old engine. It's just 1 car that made to run and sell cheap.

Korean made reliability/durability only proven with Theta engines in Sonata NF blue taxi in here and Singapore. That was when MMC & Chrysler started building engines for Hyundai-Kia as the Koreans out of no where became rich enough to pay. NASA SC is only average, if you wanted to go for Kia, make sure you pick the right SC like Selayang to prevent trouble and long waiting time.

If you want Korean made with better after sales, go for Elantra 1.6. FC beats Forte 1.6 by 1km/L due to dual VVT & lighter chassis.

Different car has different smell. You can do your homework to find out. Smell can be defined by your nose, sometimes can't describe in words. Can you define how curry chicken smell like? Or A/X perfume compared to Chanel?

Eeeeeeyewwwwwww

Stinks...

You and your buddies are spamming all over replying unrelated comments. Where is the car talks? If you are P1 sellman, what are your points of buying Inspira compared to Vios and Forte?

If not sellman, why have these complete list below your every comment signature?

BODOH PUNYA KIA SALESMAN, put the car in the signature means salesman, then so many salesman here lo

It clearly shows that you are advertising what you are selling over Low Yat forum. Still want to clarify further? You want to do sales on LYF, better behave and adhere to rules. It mentioned clearly on Low Yat forum policy, no sales allowed whether directly & indirectly.

You came here and fight or challenge forumners because you felt the comments could affect your sales, that is clear violation and disrespectful to others especially flooding threads indiscriminately. Remember sales rules, consumer has rights to ask, doubt, question and talk.
