Vios vs Colt Vs Liana

[Jeddie]

Hi

 

Been cracking my head. Vios vs Colt?

 

Like Colt for the design and high seating. Vios for value-for-$$? Liana for safety (heavy)?

 

Colt (elegance) - $62500 (after 3k rebate)

Vios - $61338 (will be able to get it at about $61k)

Liana - $64900

 

Already went to test drive all already...don't feel much of a diff. Since I've not been driving ever since I got my license 5 yrs back!

 

I like liana and colt for the HB and high seating. Keep hearing vios value-for-$$...hmm..and of course, subject to budget of

[Seansene]

Do you need a boot? The Colt looks more flexible, seating-wise. What are your other priorities?

[Jeddie]

Well, what do pple usually put in the boot? I do not need a boot now...but dunno next time need a boot to put baby seat or not. Planning for a baby 1 or 2 yrs down the road.

 

The car is for me only on the weekdays. Weekends, then family (but no old folks). Have 2 dogs to ferry sometimes.

 

Priorities - besides budget, reliability, safety & FC okie . Though i know this combination is not really possible.

family how big? vios is onli comfortable for 4.. or 2 rather.. the leg rooms are rather small.. but if u want power/looks/fc/value.. get the vios.. a stock vios(m) can hit sub-10 for 0~100 runs

 

 

as for wad to put in the boot.. hmm.. tool kit? cash washing accessories.. subwoofer

When I got home last night, I went to sit for the VERY FIRST TIME in the back seat of my Vios and found that it had enough space for me to actually stretch out forward with my long legs.

 

In front, I drive with my left knee cap resting against the console just to the right of the aircon temperature control. As for the passenger side, which is kept around one notch behind the driver seat's position, it's still very roomy.

 

For me, my boot has a Bazooka basstube permanently in there and my rollerblades. The rest of the space is meant for my work equipment that I need to lug around at times

Here's a view of my Vios for your consideration

best of all world --> matrix.

 

higher than colt.

 

boot space plenty.

 

cheaper than the above.

 

top seller.

that one is italian designer's work lah, i think feller is rather famed for a nos of notable sports cars.

 

tough to say abt designs. cos matrix still claim high sales and tat alone can attest to it's strenght.

Hmn... Wat breed of dogs?

 

I ever load a adult German Shephard(ard 38 Kg) behide my Ignis with 1 seat folded(The floor is level when the seat is folded). And once 2 Chi-wa-wa (Spelling!!!)

[Jeddie]

Small breed - Miniature Schnauzers. (2 dogs = 15kg oni)

 

Maybe need to test drive again the vios and the colt. The first time I tried vios was like its too responsive...I can't seem to control it. Colt was all rite, liana best..most probably coz its heavy..so response is slower for pple like me.

[Titanium]

Maybe u can try Ignis?

[Koren]

cant control? can lar.. haha..

[Kelpie]

There is no safety features in Matrix if I'm correct.

got lah... at least got airbag for driver side.

 

anyhow, if u read those accident test they do, these test r done at quite normal speed.

 

so, dun expect ur 180kmhr foray into orchard gudang to b protected by the airbags.
