70% of tis thread already skewed to wrong direction

but the 30% of the correct reply on this thread really good

from these 30% reply i can say it's save to get a vios.

i know there will be a totally new replacement for vios tis year or next year but i can't wait for that long to get a car as i dont have car right now. and i will not want to be guinea pig for the new vios.

one things for sure
vios reliable, hassle free
but bit more expensive

city superb, power(vtec) cheap, state of the art feature
but i've seen alot of thread about tis topic that says city has many problem
although ppl says new city cvt dont have problem but there is report saying it still does.

i've driven one city vtec b4 to genting and back hometown for quite a nubmer of time and i will say city vtec is powerful and nice in handling.

But that city has had few problem i notice.

The inner door has few point that are rusted (very small 1x1mm insize. The wiper at when u turn on 1st speed mode it got stuck half way. door rubber fell off (not completely, easyly fix by sliding the in by hand)

finally i think the greatest factor for me to decise to get a vios is, i got a great deal on vios and i can't reveal how much deal that i get

laiseng,

as i said, proton, bmw, toyota, honda, all cars will surely have some lemon units (problematic, major or minor) among them.

each cars has their pro and cons and also their problems.

if u like the vios, go ahead with it, ask the vios owner here how much will it cost to maintain it, their experience with it and such. i am sure they will help you.

and if u think u get a great deal on vios, go ahead with it. after all at the end of the day, you are buying with your own money and you think you get what its worth for your money.

Thread Starter, if you are really comfortable with ur allocated budget to get a new vios, go for it!!!

Long Live VIOS!!!

& long live all those "soft toys"!!!

sound sacarstic? hehe...

Sometimes buying a car also need luck. If your luck is good then your car not much problem, if bad luck, even BMW has it's bad day too.

Actually, the frontal part of the City is very soft, softer even than Kancil's. If you push hard with your hand, you can see the hood dimple under. The Honda SA also advised buyers not to close the hood by pressing on it with your palms, becos it will 'kemek' fast this way.

But it's still a 4-star car and have better cabin integrity than our local cars.

TS, no reason for you not to buy the Vios G if you have the budget and need the car now. Otherwise wait for new models

[OT]dude i like your [OT] [/OT] tag [/OT]

laiseng, just buy vios G, u wont go wrong with it. just follow your heart, if u are happy with vios then get vios. its a Realiable car, good FC, power also not bad & its a toyota.

This thread sure cause lots of "fire" due to lots of immature replies. Sure people mostly compare vios to city. though i am die hard honda fan, i still vote for vios. city's design bit off for my taste. City's vtec wont really out run vios, anyway both car is mean for family sedan not racing. If those think city's vtec is god like, then try honda's older engine, B16A, B16B or B18C then u will understand city vtec is nothing compare to those real racing engine.

just my 2 cent

Wow missed afew hours and now TS had made up his mind already!

Thanx for all the replies

i've made the order for Vios G spec already

Congrats!
Maybe when your car arrives you can let us know how you 'actually' feel on it despite the many disputes around.

my bro own a myvi. ish ish ..budak ni..for ur info..my moto kriss can win a myvi in 400m drag lah.
if u know/able/smart/ enuf to spend some time to read the spec sheet of both city/vios..vios hp output is 109hp means waja 1.6 only 110hp...do u get booo.????
the curb weight of the vios is 980kg means same as myvi..
if u know the term of "power-to-weight" ratio is. then TaTa to ur beloved myvi lo. tat "stupid" cars city/vios being smoked by ur Kcar doesnt mean is laoya..

city ler is vtec engine once attivate. rpm jus like turbo-fly to redline. no need 5k or not 5k to spend on.

ehh..bro ah ko ko chai..my sis kelisa is better in performance la if compare wif myvi.
again power to weight ratio is playing around..sigh..

get a sintific kira-kira machine n tekan-tekan/ raba-raba n see..convert kw to hp ...wat u got in ur k3-ve...n compare.

eh ok la..peace. this is facts. nth u can argue.
car is not good at all if too hard in every corner. die faster ..do u know tat.??
ragid / tough / stable chassis will gain better result. find n understand these terms then u will know.."OOOOOOO" like this hioo..

so what diskaun u get? RM5k?

he did mention his myvi was converted to k3-vet...
tht's why he thinks he can win...
already mod...

ya i got 5k++ discount for vios 2006, but at 2.8% interest

so i end up ordering the 2007 Vios G

if i vios 2007 at 1.88% interest i only pay extra 1k++ compares to having 5k++ discount (after 7 years of installment)

if i get 2006 car the car already depreciated 10% now so not worth it

ok my bad. din notice the" T" ..
so great huh..

err..7 years? not long mer? how much u goin to pay instalment if make it 5 years?
mind to tell how much u pay for downpayment?

borrowed 70k
at 7yr about 940/month

if 5yr, 1276/month installment

Wow 7 years also need RM940 a month...
Did you get any discount from them, depending whether you choose the old stock 06' model or you choose the new one 07' batch

if can ..push more dpayment. 900/ mth..seems little too much lo..make it 10k or 15k better.
err..goin to buy it in hurry?? if not try save somemore $$$ for dpayment lo
