    Can't go wrong with a Toyota.

    I am kinda in the same boat.... choosing between the S-presso AGS and Wigo G CVT for my son. Can't make a decision because my son is on team S-presso (unique styling) and I'm on team Wigo (practicality).

    ang problema sa g4 is, i think, it is on its last legs. in several markets i've read na mitsu has already discontinued this particular model. so who knows, til when they'll be around. baka maging problema ang spare parts situation in the future.

    having said that, my brother recently left their manual tranny g4 w/ me when they went to phuket several weeks ago. i enjoyed driving it around so much so that i'm thinking on taking on a stick shift equipped project car to scoot around the city or maybe even beyond the metro.

    What will be the specific use case? How many people will be riding in it consistently? Is it solely for city-driving? What is the typical road condition on its route?

    Just a few of the questions that can help you narrow down which car would be best-fit for you.

    daily city driving, with weekly slex to sta rosa.
    dalawa lang kami. "empty nest syndrome."
    i'd rather not get a big car anymore, because of the narrow barangay streets in our neighborhood,
    hence my three choices.

    i have a 2014 wigo, which i intend to replace with something from the above. i read the new wigo is more spacious?

    for some reason, i feel cramped, inside the vios.

    The latest Wigo is bigger than the previous gen. The design language is also a lot better now.. more sporty- and aggressive-looking. More lines and less curves. I like it more than the Brio, FWIW.

    You might want to visit the showrooms and see the cars in your shortlist in the flesh. You could at least try sitting in them but it's best if you can schedule a test drive.

    I'd probably put the AGS/IMT cars at the bottom of the list until you can test drive one and determine that you are comfortable with their shifting behavior. They'd be more serviceable than a CVT in theory provided that available scanners can reconfigure the transmission computer comes clutch replacement as it is a regular MT transmission with robots attached to it but you have a clutch that you have no control over to burn through versus a torque converter on most CVTs (atleast on the G4/Wigo) in stop&go traffic.

    I would go with the Wigo. You already have experience with it, more or less alam mo na mga issues at sumpong. I never liked the G4 and Dzire, proportions seem off.

    I agree. The designs of the G4 and Dzire (is it desire, d' sire, Desiree or Deziré) seem abrupt to me.

    doc, we're Toyota loyalists, aren't we?

    Wigo por supuesto
