How expensive is the city service cost vs vios?

Vios service every 10k. I think most honda cars every 5K...but still, if I would choose the both..i take CT. bored with Vios oledi

If I'm not mistaken, the toyota semi synt last 10k km...but after 7k km rough oledi

So ridiculous. My Renault diesel was every 20 or 25k. The Touareg V10 diesel first service after 30 to 50k (got sensors to tell you when to go). And here even 10k is not enough? Although apparently even in Europe the Japs tend to have the shortest service intervals. Not hard to be reliable when the car is checked so often, no?

Btw., Toyota GT86 every 15k km, Subaru BRZ every 30k. lol?

http://www.autozeitung.de/rat-tat/service-...gliste?page=0,3 For a look at how it is overseas... most cars every 30k km... including the Honda Jazz.

i am vios s user here, seriously u said that vios interior worse then saga flx ?
dont think so, saga flx interior can say same level as viva, myvi and at most fiesta.. vios j maybe coz its lack too much finishing when compare to vios s/trd version..

wht i can say for vios
- good FC (full tank ron95 rm80, shah alam - kuala terengganu still have left 3 bars out of 8 bars)
- average maintenance
- good city car

for honda city
- highway driving better compare vios
- a bit high maintenance
- 16' tyre kinda expensive nowadays compare 15' using by vios trd

dont forget their trd suspension is lower compare even with vios s, not sure how lower but maybe around 40mm=4cm, n its stiffer too..
my friend honda city's gbx (2011 model) after 3 months got problem oredy.. after he fight with honda SC for a few months then finally he get new gbx.. gbx problem is not small tiny problem bro.. those shiftronic (whteve it is called) is not durable enough.. compare vios manual no problem until now, i never heard one too..

ur sis didn't use that shift-tronic frequently.. if its owner alwz use, that shift-tronic will have problem later.. so need to use better gbx oil to prevent gbx defect..

adjustable rm12k hks for city or vios bro?
use TT adjustable hi/lo n soft/hard is good enough for rm2.3k new set, 2 years warranty with 3 times free setting.. summore its local company that know our road condition..

lol... let me guess. SC people said "baru punya gearbox tak akan ada problem punya"...

have Turbo doesn't mean it goes like rocket. The Preve turbo is soft turbo and coupled with the CVT, when full throttle, the engine will be running at constant 5,750rpm. At that rpm, the turbo is only spinning, but it isn't boosting.

A soft turbo application is used mainly to improve low to mid torque in order to aid better city driving. High performance turbo are usually larger and only kicks in at high rpm.

maintain rev at 2,000-4,000rpm and you can harness all the full power of it.

response?

On thing is, the Preve is a huge chunk of metal to be moved compared to the persona and CVT isn't that well associated with performance either.

Of course weather is different, and it also depends on how much each service costs. But still, why do some cars require so frequent service while others don't? Honda every 5k, VW every 15k. In Malaysia. Where the Hondas have rather outdated gearboxes and engines, and VW uses highly turbocharged engines and DSG gearboxes? How can that be?

Think the V10 TDI was a 4.2... not sure though. In any case service costs should be the smallest concern if you drive such a car.

You want to buy a new car and immediately change the suspension? Why not buy a car with the right suspension in the first place?

The Preve turbo is meant to give low end torque. Feel like diesel Also it is meant to lower fuel consumption (at high RPM however the engine will get hot, which requires the car to use petrol to cool down parts of the engine --> very high fuel consumption). Drive it properly and it will be fun to drive and give good FC.

Well, the Fiesta interior isn't pretty. It looks like a Sony boombox from the 90s. Think the materials weren't so great either. But the rest of the car is nice and modern, so I am willing to overlook that.

This is a nice interior:


New Yaris (one day new Vios...?) also not too bad:

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

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.

Hi Keanutan, you just bring up all the bad points from one side only. I am not going to argue with you and criticise how bad the vios and city. Indeed, Toyota and Honda are top car manufacturer in the world.

My points in previous post is to explain how Korean do well in their product and gain the customers sales. Not trying to bias. I just share my thoughts.

when a company earns a lot of money. It is not related to the cheapest price they can offer. But the quality of the production and whether worth to buy or not.

If you think cheap price can work, Malaysia's PENSONIC becomes world number 1. As well as Proton.

urs is hybrid car?

O.o i seee...but i thought new city gear boxx change already?

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.

@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 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 =)

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.

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

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

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.
