Why limit yourself to this 2 choices? Why not Preve,Fiesta,Forte?

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! 

Still got so many sei chun high in this world.
No wonder our money always kena songlap.
Malaysia boleh!

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

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.

my sis didnt used but her husband used ler.. the suspension part is why pay extra for the trd while u can get better  set at outside?

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.

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..

ai yo yo not understand you lar .. first complain about our local car maker service too short every 5k or 10k then compare with a v10 4.2cc vehicle say this car only need service 20-25k .. ai ya VW 15k service can use normal oil ?i'm very sure have to use fully syhnthethic lar ... honda service 10k also can use fully synthethic lar.. SC will explain to u .. u know how much liter of engine needed for a V10 ?? every service cost 1500 at least lar.. engine oil only is 1k already want to compare to 1.5 or 2.5 cc car how to compare ???

why u compare japanese car with conti car?? totally difference lar..

2000km permonths buy hybrid better save at least 60% mean travel 2000km pay 1400km the rest 600km is free lar..

mine 1 full tank rm60 get 600-650km (100% city  drive) highway can get at least 700-800km .

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..

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..

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.

BTW why no go for Mazda? ---- just out of my curiosity...

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?

Good choice! Did you pick the S or the E spec?

Yea I know.. that's too bad. But enjoy your new ride though.

Did you go test drive the car before? Which SA did you go to?

I booked mine almost 2 weeks ago and the car still not ready.. really no stock. Huhu..
