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.

Most fuel gauges are not linear. From max to 1/2 tank is usually not half of max to low-fuel warning. It drops much faster from 1/2 to liw fuel warning compared to from max to 1/2.

Too late for me. I bought my first ever Honda (city) because the safety features and equipment for ncp93 are so pathetic. I was pretty happy with my ncp42 (vios first gen).

My guess is you are not used to CVT.

Guys, can someone help with an issue?
NCP150 E spec 2013 model - doesn't have beeping sound when lock/unlocking with remote. Can the beeping be toggled on or off, and how to do it?
The owner doesn't have user's manual.
Thank you in advance. Much appreciated.

For owners, it is indeed a shard drop in RV. However, when you factor in the second hand dealer's profit margin (there is high risk the car will be stuck with them for long time), it makes sense.
Picture yourself looking for 2nd hand Vios. How much are you willing to pay for a one-year-old Vios, old model some more, when you have to pay higher interest rate and not knowing how the previous owner treated the car?

Do you need to do this for every fill up? As long as you know how much fuel it can pump in at certain fuel level, you will know the mileage for one tank.
Example: let's say u always fill in about 35L at the mark after E, and u have travelled 700km (FC 20km/L).
Now you fill in at half tank and calculate your FC. If it returns 20km/L, everything is normal and you will still get 700km range at the mark below E, without having to really go down to that low, right?

I believe the fuel pump is centrifugal pump. The no.1 enemy of centrifugal pumps is cavitation caused by insufficient suction head. The lower the level, the lower the suction head. And do take note that in a moving car, the fuel sloshes around and this affects the suction head too.
Imagine the water tank outside our house, try having a low water level and imagine you shake it like how you drive your car.

+1. I think you feel more responsive due to better handling and improved steering feedback.
Its wet handling will blow your mind. A lady driver who knows nothing about cars told me she now drives in the rain confidently after changing to PS3.

When both rear wheels are stuck in the sand or snow, they will slip easily when you step on the accelerator. With VSC on, the wheels won't be allowed to keep rotating as slippages will be detected all the time. This means you will not be able to drive out of the area.

With VSC off, the wheels can keep spinning until they get a grip and slowly move the stuck car. If course, if you keep flooring the accelerator, the wheels will spin very fast and end up digging a hole, until the car rests on the body.

IMO, it's always better to go for bigger memory card to reduce the re-write rate in order to prolong the lifespan of the card (no scientific data to back up, just personal opinion). Some dashcams have "accident mode" triggered by G-sensor and the video clips will be protected from over writing. Over time, you will have less space for normal clips and the re-write rate increases. You can mitigate by frequently re-formatting the card but this is a chore you will forget to do.

In all my new cars, they gave 2 sets. Never heard of only one set provided.

You can only switch on the pole/parking/small lights, or switch on headlights manually or leave it on auto.
I'm sure your user's manual will tell you that. I don't own the Vios, just based on your photo.

Wasn't this recall activated a few years back? My Vios was involved and I had my passenger airbag inflator at SC. I checked at Toyota Malaysia website and there is nothing mentioned about this latest recall.

NCP42 and NCP93 owners, please check your car for any recall.
Below is mine. I changed the passenger airbag inflator during last recall, now looks like got another recall to either replace the same inflator, or the driver's airbag side.

He had better be prepared to have warranty claims rejected.

Smaller ROM will mean more write cycles, which should shorten its life
In any case, it's always good to have a spare card as you'll never know when it goes kaput.
