Having own 2010 City, 2018 Civic FC, 2022 City Hatchback and also a 2023 VIOS G, here are my feedback:

The price tag of 90k after 5k discount for G spec makes it a complete car to drive on the day you collect it from the dealer. It comes with decent 17" with conti premium C tyres which are better than the Toyo on the City. Windows are tinted, though not the best, still useable. Interior lightings are all in white LED instead of yellow bulbs found in the city. Plus you get a full digital meter cluster, 360 camera, and more importantly, a sharper, larger touch screen display with clearer reverse camera too. The city has a very terrible lane watch and reverse camera!

The boxy shape can be subjective but it kind of grew on me over time. Wind noise is noisy compared to the 2 citys I have in the family. Suspension feels softer on the Vios but the seats feels less supportive compared to the Hondas. Rear legroom is where the CITY excels as it has even longer legroom compared to the Civic FC!

Latest VIOS improves on the driving experience when compared to last gen VIOS and the Yaris. Steering feels sportier and you get more road feedback to the steering. However, both the engine and DCVT delivers power in a choppy manner; While the CITY provides a much linear and better acceleration.

In the end, it all boils down to what you prefer. Test drive both cars and see which feels better in your hand

The 2008 city comes in GY eagle NCT which is very noisy!

All B segment lacks noise insulation, even C seg has very minimal noise insulation now days.

Quick solution would be to change to comfort tyre such as Primacy or UC7, the more exp solution is to do the noise insulation outside...
