Honda SA told me they give 5 years because they have confidence in their car.

Toyota SA told me they give 3 years because they have even more confidence in their car.

You be the judge.

Hahahaha... nice

It is true Toyota SA say they give 3 Years cause they even more confidence in their car so YOU CAN PAY MORE!!! or can go uncle machenic workshop under the tree after 3 years... hahaha after 3 years UMWT dont care about your car...

Oh do bear in mind the Facelift Honda City has improve the FC and has a Eco guide to it...

the fuel savings from Honda City and Vios can be debatable... I have driven a City before (not animore now) and I can get around 600++KM on a full tank...

I believe it is your foot... since Honda City engine is more rev happy and engaging people think to drive more aggressive without knowing it. while in another hand vios engine is more smooth (it is tune that way) and you may drive in a more relax manner... hence contribut to fuel savings... next time drive a city but keep your eve on your foot preasure you see wonders...

Oh another hand L15a i-vtec engine in the Honda City engine come with Power VTEC implementation which mean if you drive aggresive the VTEC power came will open (also known as Wild Cam profile) which produce AWESOME power and of course fuel also laaa... but if you drive gentle the eco light will lit up (in green) and VTEC cam profile will go into lean burn and maximize fuel and comfort

old version no eco light so driver dont know...

on vios pulak the Old engine is a VVTi (Variable Valve Timing ONLY) with Computer controlled (hence the i)
it has no Cam profile (hence no so called WILD cam) which mean the engine will only have 1 cam profile throughout the range... low tech stuff

lets compare the term

i-VTEC i =(Intelligent) V=(Variable Valve Timing) T=(Lift) E=(Electronic) C=(Control)
Hence it is called Intelligent Variable Valve Timing with Lift Electronic Control

While Toyota called VVTi stands for V= (Variable) V=(Valve) T=(Timing) i=(intelligent)

you want i-VTEC in toyota go look for VVTi-L found in Lexus!!!

all rite since you want to compare lets compare

Pulled from their respective website

Honda City (Facelift)
Engine Type 4 Cylinder 16 Valve SOHC i-VTEC
Fuel Supply System PGM-FI (Programmed Fuel Injection)
Bore & Stroke (mm) 73.0 x 89.4
Displacement (cc) 1,497
Compression Ratio 10.4
Maximum Power [PS(kW)/rpm] 120PS (88)@6,600
Maximum Torque [Nm(kg-m)/rpm] 145 (14.8)@4,800
Drive-by-Wire (DBW) YES

Toyota VIOS
Engine Model 1NZ-FE
Engine Type Type4-Cylinder In-line, 16-Valve, DOHC with VVT-i
Displacement (cc)1,497
Max. Output (SAE-NET)80kW (109PS) / 6,000 rpm
Max. Torque (SAE NET)141Nm (14.4kg-m) / 4,200 rpm

so the answer Acceleration from 0-100 need good torque

Vios has 141NM at 4200 rpm while City has 145NM at 4,800 (City has higher rev for the engine to climb)

Top speed

Vios has 109PS while City has 120PS WOW

Also look at gearbox

Type4-Speed Automatic with Super ECT on VIOS
5-Speed Automatic with Shift Hold Control on CITY also come with paddle shift biggrin.gif!!!

the think is who the hell want to drive a so called DOHC engine that produce 109ps... compare to a better SOHC engine that produce 120ps...

SOHC engine is lighter... and Euro 4 compliant hahaha Looser...

Toyota fanboy will always be fanboys... they will take a Shit and say it is a Good shit!!!

reality SHIT is always a SHIT!!! face it!!!

Toyota is always the Leader in automotive cause they have commercial vehicle while Honda only have passenger vehicle... do you know how many 4x4 / Hi Ace Van / LORRY / Forklift they sold!!!

Honda only have passenger car segment...

Even Nissan which have Commercial and Passenger vehicle lost the sale to Honda

read your article

Toyota took in the first quarter with sales of 2.49 million cars and trucks worldwide

Vios fuel tank is about 45L, so in theory 1 bar = 5.6L?

So from Shah Alam to T'ganu uses up about 28L of fuel. The distance is about 455KM, so the FC is about 6.1L/100KM or 16KM/L

Correct?

All fuel tank is not square it is not accurate


Added on August 2, 2012, 5:06 pmSee this

Honda Accord vs. Honda Fit (Jazz)

This is one of the three crash testscompatibility that the IIHS has recently performed in America. Here is the article related to all tests, including our evaluations. Assuming that the Fit in the test against the fixed barrier was excellent, the incident against the Accord makes a pretty bad shape. analyze the results of crash tests at 64 km / h . The head goes to hit the steering wheel and the passenger compartment intrusion abbstanza are extended. The brake pedal is part of 21 cm and the dashboard up to 16 cm. The steering wheel remains in the normal range, comes back and gets up to 9cm of 8. The legs get the pressure high enough because of the intrusion, suffering damage severe enough. The Accord on the contrary is deformed very little inside. Some small risk to his head just touching the steering wheel. In conclusion, the Accord is quiet out on their own feet, then the judgment is GOOD. In the Fit is still alive but out of injuries to the legs are heavy, POOR judgment.

Toyota Camry vs. Toyota Yaris Sedan

This is one of the three crash testscompatibility that the IIHS has recently performed in America. Here is the article related to all tests, including our evaluations. The Yaris had impressed in testing at 64kmh on the wall. Before seeing the 2-car tests to do a premise . The doors are very important, even in frontal crashes . They provide the energy absorption by downloading the forces on the side, if they remain closed. After this introduction, we analyze the result of the Yaris after the test at 64 km / h . In both cars, his head striking the steering wheel, the stress in the Camry is not of concern, the Yaris it suffices for the final result. The movement back 10 cm and 15 cm at the top of the steering wheel through the airbag and the impact on the crown create a cranial trauma lethal to the pilot of the small. The shell collapses, the main cause is the tearing of the door that no longer supporting the side is going to hell, the whole structure of the car. The deformation of the door opening is less than 23 cm. 20 cm of retraction to the brake pedal, 36cm for the area of the pedal and 16cm for the dashboard create serious injury for legs and feet. The final report cards say ACCEPTABLE for the Camry, for the head on the steering wheel. POOR for the Yaris, for the pilot is nothing more to do.

The Result

JAZZ : The brake pedal is part of 21 cm and the dashboard up to 16 cm. The steering wheel remains in the normal range, comes back and gets up to 9cm of 8

Vios: 36cm for the area of the pedal and 16cm for the dashboard. The movement back 10 cm and 15 cm at the top of the steering wheel

10-15cm movement of stearing wheel your head is doom...

here is the pic

hint again see the knee (leg area) / A-pillar and stearing column movement


Added on August 2, 2012, 5:12 pmConclusion for Yaris Sedan (Aka Vios) (Since Yaris hatch share same chasis with vios)

POOR for the Yaris, for the pilot is nothing more to do. (meaning the PILOT aka. crash test dummies are DEAD!!!)

Conclusion for FIT aka Jazz since share the same chasis with City assume the same

In the Fit is still alive but out of injuries to the legs are heavy. Basically You will lose your LEG or heavy Damage to LEG but you will not see GOD yet... not yet... unless ambulance is late...

your choice DIE or Heavy Damage... I think most people will choose DIE.. hence vios can sell better...

@bluehaven

hybrid cars are not meant for our malaysia weather condition..
come on, replacing the battery is roughly RM10k+....don't believe other numbers.... if this number u don't want to believe then i can do nothing about it =)
yes it saves fuel and whatnot because u'll b using the motor and battery the most, that is why, it saves fuel..if change the mode to using fuel, u cannot go far as the tank is not so big to accommodate long distance..
i have nothing against hybrid at other countries..it is going well but still the normal combustion cars are doing even better as well as improving itself thanks to RnD people...
i've seen many hybrid drivers on the right lane especially on the uphill part sleep.gif but going at snail speed which disturbs the traffic...please maintain on the left where u should be because u wanna save fuel..so stay at that lane..thanks~~

regarding the "new" vios which to me is not new....just a car applying new makeup... anyway from beginning, i don't like the middle stye combination meter...i hate it..cars with that, i hate it -.-" how to drive and see the meter/temp/petrol properly...either eye pain or neck pain or whatsoever....come on... got some like it, got some don't like it..i've even saw some put dunno what stuff to block the whole meter assuming it is a place to story stuff there zzz...even my friends, then i advice them but well..up to them =.="" other than this, normal driving, nothing special, value for money? well maybe, resale value high? not really also, depends on how well the car is being taken care of and so on..

the usual what year manufacturing and so on still goes on in trade-ins and condition of the car...colour, body n paint condition, engine, trans, whatsoever...number plate also recently...sweat... every car is now roughly the same...

let's say toyota, honda, mazda, peugeot, ford, nissan, mitsubishi..

cars at that price so n so, after a year, depreciate about 10-15k... roughly, some lower... but it then comes down to car condition and so on... don always think about the brand.. take a look at ur own car condition and see if let's say, u r the buyer...are u going to buy a crappy interior but superb exterior car? badges aren't that important now...

well, my humble opinion
i like honda cars, mazda cars, mitsubishi cars
the rest, i just like a certain model from each badge...
better choose what car u like the most..not what other people like =)

Dude do you know battery technology in the 1st place, second thing hybrid is not slow this is proven fact you see ct200h easily a 0-100km/h in 7sec. Also a crz is a 8sec car btw i have tested honda insight can anytime outrun any 1.5-1.6l car...

Battery in most hybrid is proven technology... they use nimh which is quite heat resistant. And they employed smart sensor and circuits to look after the battery. But as said this car is not the future... the future is full electric or hydrogen both uses battery... as well... a toyota prius hybrid battery already proven to run 10yrs and still running strong... check the facts right...

Honda ima battery is standard D cell battery which can be replace cheaply but then if you get back honda original stuff you have to pay premium laa... same thing maa a car after warranty normally service outside why? Cheaper maa same thing with hybrids as well

Hehehe some people butthurt seeing other people drive hybrid... hahaha

The fact is hybrid engine may be small but the output they produce is high... a puny little 1.3l insight/jazz ima hybrid can go 200++km/h a prius can basically compete with a bmw320i... we drive slow does not mean the car is slow... we drive slow cause this is the eco way to drive.. only road user like you drive hard and brake hard hahaha and think damn godlike... this is what we called stupid driver..haha

Something we need to check with Toyota why they only give 3 yrs warranty to their hybrid car in Malaysia but 5-8 yrs given to other countries. I believe Toyota has some concern about their battery lifetime in Malaysia.

Other country a toyota vios only cost rm30k and here it cost 86k why??? You know the answer...

Like I said, you don't know anything about the batteries.

http://www.hybridcars.com/gallery/22070/photo?page=3

The battery in some of the hybrids are the same ones that I put into my flash light. D Cell battery. Why they put small batteries in series? That is the only way to pump the voltage up high enough to drive the motor (if you can still remember your high school battery physics class).

Battery technology is the same, whether it is used in the cell phone or in a car. Again, you know nothing about batteries if you think that our mobile phone battery dies in 2 years because of charging all day. It is the limited charge discharge cycle that kills the battery as we use it every day and recharge it every night. Each 100% charge is a full cycle and each battery has about 500-1000 charge cycles, depending on the quality. I have a few mobile phones that is hardly used and the batteries that are still holding charge after 3-4 years because I have no used up the charging cycles. Batteries have shelf life of about 5-10 years provided that it is stored properly.

Comments from hybrid forum are still the same. THey own hybrid cars but know nothing about their cars. Just like this forum. Everybody here owns a car but that does not mean everybody knows everything about cars. At least they have not proven so.
*
Lets clarify some batteries technologies here...

Li-ion / li-po (lithium Polimer) batteries charastic is different from NIMH... where NIMH is more heat resistant and durable it is also limited by the weight and charging and discharging capability (Slow to charge and discharge) Li-ion in this case has a much higher rate of charge and discharge... (if you play high performance RC-remot control) you know.. I have a Savage Flux HP mosnter truck that can go 120kph I know battery technology...

The downside li-ion is very sensitive to heat... if the heat above 50*c the battery will go into a state where it discharge itself and shorten the lifespan... li-ion has also a weirc charasteristic where discharge a li-ion below 20% will damage the battery (This is where people damage their notebook and cell-phone battery) do not discharge below 20%..!!! and if you discharge a li-ion below 5% your battery is DEAD!!! (most modern cell employ a circuit board to prevent this)

For NIMH battery it is more resistant to heat which a tipical NIMH battery can run up to 80*c before damage will come... this is reason why hybrid in Malaysia uses NIMH (Except Civic hybrid 2012)

In a Hybrid car.. the car do not charge and discharge from battery directly, there is capacitor involve where the car will charge up to a capacitor to run... and the NIMH battery in Hybrid is for storing remaining juice in the capacitor... the advantage of capacitor is the discharge and recharge rate is super fast... this is the reason when you hit on regenerative brake the voltage go into charging capacitor then the capacitor slowly charge the nimh battery pack...

also when your car is super hot say it hit 80*c on a desert heat... no worries the hybrid will not engage the batteries... what the car do is to use your aircond air to cool down the batteries before uses it... pretty smart... it also have a CPU to manage charge and discharge rate where it keep the batteries between 20%-90% so it is not overly diacharge and over charge hence keeping the battery in good health...

now who dont understand batteries??

Bro the thing is the heat does not effect the batteries as when the aircond is power on it is keep below 25*c as the fan draw the air from cabin (Unless you set your aircond temp to 30*c which is.... you get the answer)

if your argument about the air being drawn from outside then yes your argument is valid as we cannot control mother nature... but the air to cool the batteries is from the cabin... my case 24*c... and if you wanted to argue that the batteries discharge faster than 24*c then it does not make sense...

colder country people turn up heater which still maintain between 23*c and 25*c which again the air is drawn from the cabin...
