Bro 190 in vios is achievable lahhhh. I driving nhc, but i drove my frens dugong vios and it whn i was driving it, it felt tht i reached 190 quicker compared to my nhc. And yes, it feels very stable. Even my nhc not so stable at 190.
Forte vs vios? Nah i will still stick to the japs even though i am paying more. But at least we know its worth it. I knock the fortez door, the sound is the same as i knock a milo can. No kidding, at least japs are still more solid even though a lot of ppl might not see it.
You know y? Cuz they judge hw good a car is by its looks, and its specs. But they never take into account driving experience.
So to mk a car good, give it a good design and load it up with unnessary features like push start, dual aircon. Then it will definately sell... Lol
Stop saying the forte is a good car juz bcuz it looks good, and just bcuz it has all those xtras. My goodness, nowadays msians, nice design = good car. =.="
Bro tin milo?? Forte is a multiple award winning C-Segment Car that scored 5 Star on NCAP test, wins numerous safety awards. Dugong and City didnt. Very SMART la u.
It has Stability Control, TCS, ESC with ABS with ABD and BA. Which Sub 100k car comes with those.
Dugong and city has traction control?? LOL.. see the engine compartment of honda city already can see tin milo body surrounding the engine
City and Vios is a B-Segment TOY CAR. Nothing compared to a fully Spec, Full safety, Multi award winning C-Segment
lol city fanboy.. this Kevin23 is a really really dumb guy.. sure Honda City club very embarass to have members like u who knows crap about cars. No wonder u only work in sales for a medical company even with your biotech degree.
if its not a good car how can it won so many awards?

who the hell told u maintenence and parts for kia is high.. compared to honda is wayyyyyy cheaper..
I pity HONDA owners, coz service put Fully Synth Also must come back service every 5k..
Failure to do that can result in warranty void.. ouchh..talk about EXPENSIVE maintenence..
I know coz i own the the accord also.
Ppl complaints about the Honda 5k Maintenence policy :

1. So it it clearly printed on the manual that the car is required to send back for service EVERY 5K km! failing to comply to this requirement will at the mercy of HM to extend the warranty to YOU. For Dealer wise, they are middle man. It is also at their mercy if they do not hold on to their words to you.
2. For oil spec, there should printed "those arrow graph" referring to Operating Temperature Terrains. Look carefully on it.
3. Normally there are 3 type oil available at the SC. One must pay attention if the rating is API SL or API SM. API SM is of higher grade then API SL hence the API SL is cheaper ! For Example, Mineral or Semi, 10W/40. There can be API SL OR API SM !!!
a. Mineral : 15W/40
b. Semi : 10W/40
c. Full Sync : 5W/40
As the manual printed you need to service/change the oil EVERY 5K. Mineral will do under normal driving conditions. BUT you will "feel" less smoothy as compared to Semi or Fully Sync oil.
So Mineral/SEMI/Fully for every 5K is depends what's your budget !!!
cheers

i'm driving Civic 8th gen. Since a year ago the Peringgit sc (in KL) that I normally went had restricted the 10k service with full syn oil.
However the Johore sc allowed this until 2 weeks ago which I was informed that Honda had officially prohibited the sc from doing the 10k service with full syn oil. So the service advisor said its better to use back the 'new' semi syn oil since we had to service every 5k now.
On the other hand, toyota officially informed all owners to service only every 10k, despite their engine oil is semi syn one. From this perspective, it really seems that honda owners are paying double the service cost than toyotas'
So Honda owners kaw kaw kene Ripped off by Honda Malaysia. Congratz to you Kevin23

. I also tried to climb on top of the roof. I'm only around 48-50kg and I put 1 leg and half my body on it, I can already feel the roof like going to break. (Note that my other leg is still stepping the door, I put down the power window already). 
.....and FYI, I rather ride bicycle than buy a fugly car (example: dugong)
