Have u tried test drive cerato? Really feels that draggy?

For me at least 2 liter unless force induction

2.0L vehicle will still get the subsidised fuel, only 2.0L above meaning your vehicle capacity is over 2000c.c., normally 2.0L vehicle is actually 1997c.c only. So considered within 2000c.c category.

usually 2.0 car is below 2000cc one . 

Look at these reviewers trying to be the local version of Mr Nasty (TopGear's you know who)
See if you can view to the end of the video clip. Winner is Cerato, beating the Civic (which is a class higher than City)
Cerato is compared against the Honda Civic, not City. Which is more accurate, at least.

of course it is not. These cars used for comparisons comes in 2.0L versions.
but the furnishing inside are similar to the 1.6L variants. and they probably drives the same.
Look at how poorly the Civic 2.0 fared, now lets make a new forum thread in LYN asking Civic VS City...

hahaha exactly, right???

There are so many Honda fans in this forum, hence the high vote i guess. Sit in both of the car, and you would realize the Cerato is so much more upmarket than the City, it's unbelievable they are priced so near each other. (City high spec)

Both aren't gonna score high in driving dynamics anyway, nor the performance department. Hence why one would ever get the City instead of the Cerato is always gonna intrigue me.

about the power of 1.6 cerato, it takes 11.6 sec fom 0-100, where by vios need around 12 sec, old city around 11.8sec and inspira 1.8 took 11.4sec. mind u that cerato is on 17" rim, others are on smaller wheel.
fc wise, my 1st tank on cerato give me 510KM, engine still tight and not run in yet, will better once after 1st service.
i glad that i go for cerato instead of city. lol.
btw, those mentioned about quality, honda is not like toyota, so dun put high hope on honda about quality, depend on your luck...
