Hi. I recently got my learners and I am planning to buy my second car and in need of advice. I am interested with either toyota passo or Bb. But with budget...i think i might go with passo. With passo..i know there is 1.3 cc and 1.00 cc to choose from. Which do you think is better? Why? Also is it true that passo comes with vvti engine? as the dealer described the engine as vvti though i know most engine with vvti engine has engraved on it. And can you tell me the reliability of passo? Is it low to maintain and cheap to run as i am a uni student and am on tight budget. Many thanks

Both vehicles are similar if I looked at the year 2008 for example....
The Toyota BB was the only vehicle that listed having a 1.3 vvti engine, It also had a 1.5 liter engine option.
Where the Passo only listed a 1 and 1.3 variant none vvti you would have to look carefully at the engine code to ensure it has vvti, information about imported models can be
in-accurate online.

Thanks for getting back. Im actually looking for a car in year between 2000-2005. May i know your views on nissan march and mazda demio? Im deciding on these 3 vehicles. Im just not quite sure which of these three (passo, march or demio) would be the most reliable and cheapest to maintain. Thanks
