Car Profiles - Toyota Vios

TOYOTA VIOS

Shedding its taxicab image, this Vios is still the one you know since yesterday. One major highlight is the migration of gauges to the driver side, where it should be. While faux stitches are a classy touch, hard plastics are still present, but who cares? Now with an upgraded engine and an optional CVT.

The Good: Cheap to buy and own

The Bad: Cheap feeling interior plastics

Price Range: P599,000-P976,000
