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

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.

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  cry.gif
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  whistling.gif

Due to the gearbox ratio for City's gearbox, city driving at most would be only on par or worse than vios FC. If its on Highway driving then City shines at this part even overshot vios FC with a long league. So it is actually up to your own preference, since most people use it for City driving hence you can always hear ppl mentioning vios FC is better which is true in City driving.

If youre fancy some downshifting and upshifting with paddle shifting (higher spec) with normal D mode and sporty S mode, you can consider City since that's the fun factor there. Vios would go for conventional gated shift override but lacks the diff mode. So if you preference is locked to vios and ciy, then go test drive it and see which you prefer most. thumbup.gif

actually i have tried out the reactions of many typical Vios owners, i told them that the engine is using the same 2003 vios engine and everyone of them are not aware of it. They just felt surprised after i told them the truth, so you know how UMW get away from using the same engine for so many years with their gimmicks.

i am vios s user here, 2008 model.. just wanna share, i drove from shah alam to kuala terengganu from full bar when arrived left 3 bars more from 8 bars, using ron95.. so u do the math.. normall driving style..

what 8 bar 3 bar 5 bar ? use FC calculation, how many km you get for a litre of fuel ? then if i got a 80L tank, i drive from KL to Ipoh and still left half tank tat means my FC is super duper good ? Put some figures if you want ppl to do the math for you ... doh.gif
