Aiyooo.. Honda city spec is out.. Need to test drive first n decide.. If anything goes wrong, i immedieately book vios G..

After saw the spec list u posted.. Actually,before this i heard many features that equipped with the new city.. Im kinda nervous to find it out.. I know different spec got different feature.. As what u pay,what u got.. BUT, im reli feel nothing surprise with the both lowest specs city if comparing with latest vios both lowest specs.. Maybe budget being cutdown to match the current vios.. Simple feature trunk release function or side mirror fold also dont have..

I dunno y my knocking sound suddenly gone.

After service, had a ride with the SA to rectify it. But cant hear anything...

Plus, mine already change to 17' rim... They still entertain me with the knocking sound.
(They can just give excuse by saying i already chance my rim, so got sound is normal)

I think they will do their best to help.

No harm trying with them. At least better the Cheras Service Center

Moreover, is less crowded there/ less car
*
Yup bro.. Me same case with u.. Already on 17" but the SA still entertained me aswell.. SC kepong branch.. But tat day im kinda rush,so already arrange for tis coming 5k service to check out for that knocking sound

Oh. Thanks.
Btw, how many KM/L you guys can go?

I'm doing roughly around 13.5+- KM/L on average city and highway drive.

Not really stepping on the pedal that much because haven't reach 1k service yet but usually drive around 100-120 on highways.

Last full tank of RM70 can reach around 500 KM.

then tried RM50. Reach around 200+ KM then lights blinking d.

Felt like the fuel consumption is pretty high mang.
Bro,how come 70 = 500km
But 50 = 200+ (assume 300km u got there)
Different by rm20 ,can last another 200km.. Conclusion,rm10 = 100km u got..
Serious can make it ?!
For mine auto tranny, rm70 last for rm350 for average driving behaviour(till light blinking)

Yes and this is all depend u driving attitude and type of engine oil vicosity using. U will have more mileage with 10 30w engine oil compared to 10 40w or 5 40w. Previous gen can reach 500km mileage easily with 10 30w. Then will get 460km with x 40w engine oil. This new vios is really slightly lower mileage compared to previous gen although spec or blogger comment more fuel saving but in actual alot user cant seem to get better than previous gen.
*
Yes agreed with that.. Since tis latest vios is using mineral type 10w-30 engine oil for 1k and 5k(10k service interval onwards only using 10w-30 semi synthetic.. So performance is not tat smooth while fuel consumption is higher..

And fyi guys, we cant depend on read or heard from the blogger comments to make the conclusion.. We as the owner of the car need to be experince and feel how the result is.. Yes all is by ourself smile.gif

Btw bro. 10 30w is usually mineral oil wont be having 10 30 semi syn in toyota service center. Semi syn is 10 40 and fully syn is 5 40. Is owner want tolook for more fuel saving or more mileage, just keep maintain using mineral oil 10 30 and punctual service interval every 5k yet driving not exceeding 3k rpm all the time. Best driving in not more than 90kmh.
*
Yes u're rite.. I maintain 80-100 for average driving.. Yup,i think after a year.. I will do service outside.. Last time i did the same while im still driving myvi.. Now no choice as current vios having few minor problems.. Jz wait for toyota to recall

so... I've did some other test with the vios. Everything original. The handling of the car was somehow disappointing. felt like the car will lose control when slipping through traffic with the speed of around 100-120kmh. (yes I admit I'm an ******* for driving this fast on heavy traffic)

Anyway, any solution to increase the car's handling?
Roll bar, strut bar or something else?

Kindly advise.

Im agree with u bro.. Btw,u cant aspect more as it's just an oem setting car.. What u paid what u got.. My J-spec currently on 17" lenso wrapped with 205/45/17 achilles atr sport.. Some of u maybe will ask/say ;

1) this tyre made from where? I never hear before.
2) this tyre is cheap, it can give u a good handling/grip?
3) u can afford 17", y dont u get a little bit better tyre like those branded tyre falken/yokohama/bridgestone??
4) adjustable or bars will give u a bumpy ride.. Uncomfortable ride..

I honestly reply u all here,my car handling improved after i got bigger shoes.. But still it dissappointed me.. If comparing to My previous myvi manual which on hilo-softhard adjustable, full Ultra Racing bars.. 17" low profile tyres.. I can tell u, my current vios handling jz like shittt!!!
Harden suspension setup n chasis tuning.. Sure will sacrifice ur comfort level.. U cant own comfort n performance both at once..

My myvi can easily whacked corner from 110-120kmh.. If u dare to go,u can even press harder.. But vios OMG,will it skip of out my lane?!(everytime i drove fast or whacking corner)

Tyre question: i used various type of branded tyre on my previous myvi like;
yokohama r1,s drive
Falken 522,912
Bridgestone my-02
Nexen 8000
Achilles atr sport

I can tell u,dont think tat only those exp branded tyre can give u better grip/performance/handling/long lasting..

Y im using achilles tat only rm200/piece now in my new vios? It's really a damn dirt cheap tyre, but it give me better result comparing to those tyres brand i mention above.. Falken912 rm300-330/piece, i dont think this tyre can beat achilles.. Falken exp,more noisy,side wall soft n etc.. Yokohama r1 famous tat gt better grip in wet condition road,i feel my achilles more better than it.. S-drive? Nexen 800? I wana ask u,how much u pay for 1pc of both tat brand? Achilles wont dissappoint u much if compare with it.. My-02/522,give me a crap.. Both f***ing tyre will kill u in rainy day if u speed up.. And i will continue using achilles as it's reasonable/cheap price tyre but the result wont let u down smile.gif
Dont misunderstand, dont drive like a michael schumacher,typical racer or drifter.. If u aren't those proffessional driver tat got proffessional skill,what kind of tyre also will kill u.. Dont ask me,if they drive they wont get kill?! Think it urself smile.gif

Im not here to promote anything, not to defend anything, not to condemn anything..
Im jz want to shared my little experienced here.. Hope can help u guys out..
FYI,cheap brand doesnt mean rubbish.. Exp brand,can u ans me tat it's sure a good investment?..
Drive safe drive smart smile.gif

Happy Motoring everyone.....

Yea I thought about it too but I'm afraid that the extra weight of the rims will affect a lot of my overall top speed.

Will it?
What about michellin ps3? my friend who drives a Myvi turbo said that it's a good set of tyres but it's quite costly as about 300++ per piece if I'm not mistaken. But still i don't dare to put on 17" as I'm afraid that it will affect the speed of the 1.5 vios.

My old wira is wearing a 15" bridgestone (forget what model since the car is still in the workshop due to a massive accident) that cost around 200-300 per piece and the foreman told me that it's a good quality tyre for cornering. But still, it failed me and caused me to slip off the road and hit a divider.  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

Oh yea. May I ask is it true that by installing strut bars or anti roll bars will affect the overall comfort of the car? I've did some research on the internet myself but some said that it will while others said that it doesn't make much difference comfort wise but it will definitely increase the handling of the ride.
*
Michelin ps3 tak boleh la.. My 1st wira turbo on michelin.. Wipe off on dry road but luckily only damaged lower arm.. Only attacked corner like normally.. Tat corner i everyday passed by also.. Maybe tyre percentage left 60-70% already consume botak soon??? Ur fren myvi turbo using michelin on highway or attack corner? For those exp turbo car like rx8/skyline/lancer evo i dont kno la.. For modded turbo car liked myvi/vios/city when u wana IN corner sure will lose to our NA car.. Normally turbo car will slow down when IN corner but full throttle after the corner.. Mine is normal myvi1.3 manual spec.. But im enjoyed every corner i went thru smile.gif my fren myvi turbo & celica turbo slow down quite a lot when go thru the corner .. For me,jz a slightly soft brake pedal press will do..

Bars will make ur ride harden.. Especially chasis.. For me,i can feel the different .. Maybe u can say a little bit.. Before i install any bars.. Im already a adjustable absorber user with 8k front 5k rear.. Harden enough rite? But i can noticeable the comfort after installed bars.. Yes i can tell u it's a bumpy and harden ride!! But when come to corner,it will be another story.. Adding bars will make ur car become heavier aswell..

Previous ride,full bars + fully adjustable absorber + full disc brake system + wrapped with 17".. Kinda heavy for a kitty ride myvi1.3.. Sure performance will slightly dropped.. So i modded the full exhaust system.. Changed to vios1.5 ecu.. High cam.. It reli a gd setting for a NA user xD

But now im getting old bro,already got a new born baby.. Stopped mod and need a bigger car.... So,sold my myvi.. Kinda sad and reli miss it so much..
My myvi topspeed can reached 200kmh.. While my car chasis was strong enough.. 180kmj my car still quite stable smile.gif im not a big liar and i reli mean it.. Forget to tell u,my adjustable absorber is customade.. I had went thru a lot of setting only can get a balance of performance+comfort..
Conclusion,many things we need to be experience by our own.. Different ppl got different needed..
