yup, vios still 3 years warranty.. but city maintenance fees a bit higher compare vios, n their CVT gbx u need to really take a good care of it, use better oil from normal (if honda offer for it) cant use 3rd party gbx oil, could void warranty..

but maybe u can add at ur own (eg X-1R auto gbx oil, but that not for CVT, just example only)
auto gbx oil easy to add by ur self compare manual..

thanks for ur suggestion..i personally a salesman which will travel 2000km per month..is that H.City FC not as good as vios?

dude, NHC not using CVT GB ler.. so the earlier story u told us is true or not? ur fren 2011 city that having GB problem? im driving a 2010 city and 90% of time am using paddle shift.. i do follow city forum/thread and none i found having problem with the GB..

if most of time u'll be driving in town, vios is good for u; fc and suspension is good for town driving.. if interstate/long distance drive then city for u..

Yeah, I think they use back conventional gearbox since the CVT got many problem in Malaysia.. maybe the weather is hotter here or something.. haha. And seems like a lot of people still prefer the regular gearbox and not those CVT scooter thing. 

Paddle shift for syok2 only, but if use to up-shift early can save a bit more fuel I suppose. 

Your friend year 2011 City sure got warranty right? Rarely a gearbox will fail that soon.

VIOS coz:
1. Vios is cheaper
2. All Toyota has better resale value
3. Toyota spare-parts cheaper whereas for Honda, even if one part rosak, you'd need to change the whole thing so it will costs more (from what I heard la)

BUT of coz the City looks much nicer la, and heard that City's engine not as noisy as the Vios's

SO it really depends on the buyer's preference! 

Sorry TS borrow your thread for some input.

I was helping my brother look for car (Sedan) and would appreciate anyone here can give some comments.

Price range about the same 86k and in this category there are not many choices
(not say not many but so call well known and reliable i would say only few) i.e. Toyota, Honda.
I want to know which will you guys consider...

1. Vios J
2. Mazda 2
3. Feista
4. City S Spec (slightly over budge)

TQ.

I booked my Forte already. The sales can give 2-3k discount. I think this is worth to get. I cannot get the same spec from Vios and City.

City price increased from 86k to 90k. Not worth. Vios price very competitive. But you will know the car is totally empty feature compare with Forte.

I agreed Forte has less resale value and maybe spare part more expensive. The car just 2 yrs ++ in Malaysia. No one send for major spare part replacement. Not fair to say the spare part is expensive. Resale value is not high doesnt mean low quality. It could be demand low. We have to give time to Korean's Car. The reason City/Vios resale value high doesnt mean has good quality than Kia or Hyundai. Just the matter of time.

I trust Korean brand. You can see how sucessful they do well in Samsung LCD / LED TV.

In US and europe, you can find many Elantra and Forte. But you will not find City or Vios over there. This is good enough to judge which car you should buy.

If you just want to buy car for resale particularly in Malaysia only, then you should get Vios and City. But I would say this is follow trend only. Doesnt mean getting good, worth car if you think on resale value always. Anytime Korean Car can overtake Japanese car like Samsung beat Panasonic or Sony.

vios has the best FC, go for vios for peace of mind. Afterall, the engine has been used and tested for many years coming from the previous generation vios. Wont go wrong with such stable engine, all vios old or new gen uses the same engine.

choose a car that doesn't change its make up while having the same inner stuff if u get what i mean -.-" and stay away from hybrid cars if u're in msia..u'll regret -.-" not all will regret though it depends on ur usage, hybrid usually can be used as a 3rd car..

agree
Toyota = resale value top
vios = spare parts easy to find and easy maintain plus cheap price with quality
Toyota = SC very good and Customer First
vios = engine noise actually is not loud as city. you park both car and turn off/on air con to compare. vios win.
vios = FC very good, city = FC super duper high..

If you buy the vios, you are a f***in idiot.

That car has been face lifted umpteen times.

Toyota is just milking the car for all it is worth.

The technology is borderline ancient.

The design is dated.

The suspension is shit.

The engine is even more shit.

GO ahead, buy the vios =.=

where on god's green earth do you get your bloody facts from.

You just comment for the sake of commenting ?

You are comparing a dated Toyota 10 yr old engine versus a relatively new 3 to 4 yr old engine from Honda.

And the best you can do is engine noise ?

Vios FC GOOD ? really ? City SUPER DUPER HIGH ? Really ?

I am lazy to even bother googling for the spec sheet. Go do it yourself.

Argh. Retard.

really?i thought since city has 5 gears so it should be better or at least on par with vios FC o.o
but even then,the difference in highway drive and city drive also small right?

personally,even i'd opt for a fiesta but i love the manual override and fiesta doesnt have it 
sitting inside the vios and city makes me feel a bit classy,even im thinking of either of these two...but not vios J though,kinda got tired of driving an actual manual tranny already
