for me korean car company has done a lot better compare p1 n p2.. their design n tech can be par as other big car company now.. while T & H brand just depend on their history which is their main point they have proven (good quality car n good after sales service)..
as for prius c interior quality maybe lower compare to forte, so plasticity.. forte much better for interior n exterior, only bcoz prius c is toyota so it can sell better.. IMO la..

most people oredy know, vios is the best FC for its class.. but somehow on chart it didnt show up, not sure why..
if u travel long distance honda city then, if short distance vios of course..

Prius C sell better is because of it Hybrid Technology & Tax Exempted. If no Tax Exempted, who else will buy if it cost RM170k-190k. Of cause Toyota brand name also help.

hermm.. so the paddle shift still there but only 5 speed auto?
if that the case maybe CVT problem no more.. last time my friend's city year 2011 almost gone rm15k (not sure, forget the amount oredy) just to replace the gbx..

vios til now 4 speed auto, same with camry 2.0.. most trustful gbx haha.. when they gonna use CVT like prius not sure..

No way Vios & Camry will use same CVT as Prius & Prius C, cause Prius e-CVT electric motor build in to it. Unless is Hybrid Vios & Hybrid Camry.

Camry 2.5V is using 6 speed AT gearbox, not sure it will use in other model.

Another similar Vios crash test at 64km/h, yes just 64km/h

A note for Vios driver, never speeding, else you might lose you leg or arm in the crash.

Of coz is fun to play with it, but you also paying a premium for it.

Come on Hybrid car is totally a different category of car compare to Vios & City. BTW if Vios & City without Tax may only cost RM40-50k, but Prius C, Jazz Hybrid & Insight w/out tax already cost about RM100k.

We buy Hybrid not only because it superb in FC, but also the Hybrid Tech, safety & Go Green and of coz the Tax Exempted.

nobody is saying bad about hybrid~
our malaysia weather is not suitable for it, that's all..
as long as u're happy with ur car and that nothing bad happens then it's all good~
there's nothing wrong with the technology anyway..perhaps just need more consideration on other places
there is always room for improvement..
oh my..

regarding TS, where r u lol....have u made ur decision?

Come on, weather also can be blame or not suitable, you must be kidding.

If we live near sea area, does that mean we should not buy car or bike which make of iron? Cause it very easy to get rusted. Maybe buy plastic or carbon fiber car?

If we live in winter country which the temperature lower then 0 degree. Car will very hard to start & your handbrake & other part will easily get jam & stuck by ice. Probably we should consider snow dog sled?

In Malaysia Hot weather, black colour car should be banned, as it absorb heat & cause more energy to cool down the cabin, some more it look invisible in night.
Our car paint & interior plastic also very fast to wear off & look old under the hot sun, you have any good suggestion?
