Get a slightly used Honda PCX if you asked me because the resale value is real bad one, and the next owner gains a lot. More comfortable ride, more storage space, same engine as vario.

Whats the diff between the pcx and vario?

Edit : but the pcx is kinda huge for me.

For me, the difference is huge. The PCX is a Honda iconic scooter sold in almost in every known market. You can find it in Japan, Saudi Arabia, England, Italy, etc. It's a scooter for the world market... meaning we're getting a more quality product.

I'm using it in town and some grab/foodpanda riders are also using them.

So far all the used i saw is bout 4-6 years. The chasis quite big for a small guy like me.

but for 60km a day you will probably be better served by PCX. the underseat storage is double that of vario and depending on the year, you get bigger fuel tank

Thanks for suggestion but my area doesnt sell pcx anymore, hence paid deposits for vario. Will give a short review when I get my hands on. Was told vario price gonna increase next year is it true?

Luckily tested on the leg room before commit. Legroom just nice as im a short person

Just a short review for my Vario Red black.Do note that my comparison is with semi manual motor (Ex5) because thats the only motor I ride for long time. Single rider btw. Overall im happy with the purchase and recalled the fun riding a scooter.

1. Leg room just nice for the leg. Hope it can be bigger like old days Suzuki scooters with ample of leg room to put some groceries lol.
2. Since is 150cc, acceleration/takeover is easy.
3. Mostly riding at constant speed (without much vrooming), the riding experience is kinda pleasent for me.
4. As I mentioned before bout the chassis, the size is just nice for me compared to NHX (cos Im short). Almost forgot I can get on my scooter from FRONT legroom compared to lift my leg across the motor seat.
5. This motor is more technological advance than my car with the keyless ignition.
6. Totally forgot scooter can put a helmet underneath the seat.
7. Imho the retail scooter is good enough except wanted to change the rear mirror to the shorter one. Or maybe additional storage box at the back.
8. FC cant comment atm.

Vario owner, is it normal to have those like mice squeaky sound when you go over humps or some uneven road?
