Test drive both. Compare the features. If you are looking for fun driving, go for city. If you are looking for reliable engine, go for vios.

Hahaha, join the club. Join the frustrated 2018 vios owner club.

It's precisely the lack of safety features that made it easier for me to choose City V spec, which happens to be my first Honda.

I have owned a few Toyota car/Mpv before, and have good experience so far, except the lack of advanced safety features. I always think a Toyota is more hardy and cheaper to maintain.

True.. my first car is also honda city v spec.. hahaha..
But now with all the passive & active safety feature.. I believe this vios might sale well in 2019, provided h.city is almost due for update.

Just now browse through Honda web page.
Seems like Honda City V comes with rear drum brake only, not disc brake.
True? or just web page typo mistake?
Also no front sensor and 360 panoramic view, I think.
If true, then Vios is better in these aspect.
How about tint? No mentioned in the web page though.

Rm20 - weekdays
Rm25- weekend

yes city only with front disc brake , rear is drum
city no 360
city no tinted
city tinted



------------------------------------------------------
what new vios G have and city V dont have :


front DVR
6.8inch touch screen dvd player with usb mirroring
security tinted
blind sport monitor
7 air bag
360 pvm view monitor
rear disc brake
rear DVR ( add on Rm350)

Test drive both. About reliability. Vios also has a CVT engine which is not same with previous "reliable" Toyota engine. I wouldn't say it is more reliable than city. Just test drive both

Below are the specs lack on vios

8 speakers
Auto cruise
Led headlights/rear lights
Emergency stop signal
Multi angle reverse camera
Touch panel a/c
Changing color meter cluster
Rear a/c with usb port
6 times free labour service

Lastest info for toyota vios 2019
price from Rm77200 onward
all specs comes with 7 airbag

Disk or drum makes no different this type of car segmen. 360 camera nothing to be proud off. Often got problem. Fix one, other will cause problem. Have to keep visiting sc

For you info, cvt is not part of engine. So it is wrong to say cvt engine. Cvt is transmission similar as auto/manual/dual clutch.

It's true. But what vios has did not justify what city has compared to vios. And those what vios has is better off with aftermarket.

And what city has can't simply get with aftermarket.

Feature wise, the new vios is definately a step forward as compare to our version. Just that the front design is a bit ... Maybe a black paint can cover the weird looking front.

Some feature like rear disc brake, blind spot monitor, etc although not a necessity in this segment, is a nice to have also ma

Those who are toyota's diehard fans will surely like the new vios. Those who bought vios in 2018, will surely feel heartache. Those who are openly do comparison between vios and city, will surely take city. Even city is due for model upgrade, the current one still surpass the new vios.

dear all,

i am trying to "revive" my old NCP42 vios.
it get a new paintjob and other minor upgrades.
of the upgrades im thinking is the key.
i am still using the stock Cobra alarm and wondering if i can transfer the board/chip into the new key as below.

any alternative recommendation is much appreciated.

I'm glad my city 2014 with rear drum brake . cheaper . rear disk brake cost my about Rm150 for better brake pad. drum brake ? nah .u don't need to change for at least 5yrs ...

I change my front brake pad every 1.5-2yrs ....

dunno if this is right to ask question here :

im owner of vios 2011 ncp93

recently i feel my ride very stiff, i plan to change 4 pcs (rear and front absorber) and 2 pcs of stabilizer link
my question is : do u i need to change the Absorber mounting, bearing or bush ?


Vios 2011 NCP93

mileage : 220k,

previous replacement was 2015, about 130k mileage (replaced 4 pcs of absorber only)
