has any1 driven a honda City? Hows the engine compared to vios?

err... their engine is more responsive from wat i feel... but again test drive to get ur preference no use to ask here and there... both are good cars... Vios = Comfort... City = Sportiness...i can say mostof the Honda's car handling will beat Toyota's, coz the are in the different setup, Honda go for handling so their suspension is a lil hard but Toyota is at the comfort side more towards daily driving... ur choice... TEST Drive la... no use to ask... can u ask ppl eh... this girl/boy good ar??? u r his/her x mah, i thought of getting him/her to be my gf/bf u test urself only can comment...

Yeah, u have to test drive the cars yourself... Both are good cars...

G spec for Vios = S spec for City
TRD spec for Vios = E spec for City

Also, if u ask in Vios thread, of course they will tell u Vios better..

U asked in City thread also, of course fanboys will tell u City better..

Which honda city u mean? The previous one or the new one?

Well i prefer the older city with cvt gearbox as the power delivery is consistent n smooth. While the new one looks better and handles well, the poor low torque really bugs it down. I have even more fun revving and driving the new vios than the new city.

Agreed with travis....if u looking for a fun car to drive in city..the new Vios definitely is one of them.

It's kind of difficult to entirely explain the whole feeling....u just need to drive it around for a while and u will know the meaning of "comfort driving".

Chippy acceleration, can do tight corners easily, good height sitting view, easy maintenance and great fuel comsuption.

Go to honda showroom for a test drive, asking opinion here and there is really not point as every individual preference is different. repeat the say test on vios. As easy as 1 2 3 right? 1 go showroom, 2 test drive,3 sum up the performance and car feel when driving it. Final buy or not to buy

Guys, last nite while driving home, I can hear krak krak sound from the engine bay after gear is engage or after i release the clutch, any idea? The car is less than 1 mth old omg

the only bad comment i heard for honda city is the FC....

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1311249

anyone?

wht is FC?

and engine lacks oomph

fc = fuel consumption

so do u mean vios more oomph? haha..i heard lots of them saying city no ooohm also..

Best to test drive both these cars at their showroom.

+1

my vios now is having a very poor fc..with rm70 fuel can go like 350 km only or even less

Your legs must be heavy, try to be gentle with the paddle. Mine G spec using for 2 years now getting 15.5- 16.5 cts per km also consider quiet heavy moreover its quiet jam in the morning, can get 11cts/km if on highway, pg to kl subang.

hi guys, i'm going to SC for my 10k service soon and i think it's cheaper to do my tires alignment, balancing and rotation outside of the SC? the SC charges RM60.50, do u all think it's reasonable or i better go outside to do it? it won't void my warranthy right?

thanks!

yes you can do out side this part will not void your warranty, outside shop have more experience doing alignment ... all the machine is about the same but that also depend on how often they calibrate they machine for accuracy.

Traveling distance plays a factor here. If daily travel is less than 20km though n flow everyday n alot of short trips were made, ur FC wont be good compared to highway driving. Traffic conditions do contribute to fuel economy as well, if u stuck with traffic jams alot, u wont get good FC as well.

that all depend on how you drive, i try on only highway about RM60 of petrol max i able to get is 301km.
If you drive in the correct way how the VVTI works it will save fuel but if u drive like sprint racer it will consume more fuel.

here are a article of how our VVTI engine works and save petrol
