Pokie Neutral Newbie February 16, 2004 Share February 16, 2004 Will go for vios too Although there's a big difference on price, the performance, handling and FC of the vios is much better (no offence to Accent owners) So if u can come up with that extra bit of cash...I'm sure the vios will not let you down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accenture Neutral Newbie February 16, 2004 Share February 16, 2004 I used to drive an accent and my advice is go for the Vios. My brand new accent then creaked everwhere to the point I just gave up telling the service people. This shows the build quality is not really there. For a "little" more money, the Vios gives us the ABS, EBD, Air Bag, Disc Brakes all round and a better engine. More worth it lah... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need your opinion on the following: Price, Performance, Handling, FC and anything else i have missed out. Please give valuable feedback. Thanks. Fyi, i've gone for a test drive for both cars. My advise to you is Vios b'cos I'm driving an Accent 1999 model so I can give my past experience of it. The very 1st thing I want to commend is the brakes, not very effective and always have to drive at least a 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morris Neutral Newbie February 17, 2004 Author Share February 17, 2004 Thanks guys. Heard that the price of the vios has gone up by $500 due to the demand. Think i will wait till the price of the next bid. Think that the price of COE will drop even more. May book the car around April/May. Another of my friend suggested August. He said that the prices of cars are the lowest then. Any comments? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
