whats wrong with SOHC engine? what honda wants to show is that they can built high output engine eventhough they use SOHC engine. 1.5 SOHC, 120PS AND 174NM.anyway, can vios produce  HIGH output if its engine SOHC? toyota relied on older technology because the company wants to cut cost. if you see high quality toyota models like LEXUS, the cars have a lot of new technology but the price is exorbitant. thus, LEXUS lose to other "orang putih" cars like merc and bmw. besides, toyota always design its car with old design with big, big square-shaped headlamps and the car does look sleek. etc. camry and altis. the grille always too big like old merc 70's. at the end of the day, people get tired and prefer more aerodynamic cars like honda and mazda. even merc has change its style. old merc looks like a box, but the new merc(etc. cls350) is sleeker and has modern design with its stylish headlamps. anyway, every people has their own taste. one can buy toyota and one can buy other type of japanese-made cars. whistling.gif however, nowadays, all new civic can be seen easily on the road compare to all new altis. thumbup.gif
*
well said rclxms.gif perhaps he has forgot that City is meant for town driving which focuses on good FC and that is why they choose SOHC, yet it can also produces such power. that, i'd say its a very impressive achievement. i think honda deserve praise than blind bashing on this one. or maybe the new exterior looks of the new city gave him the wrong impression that its a sport car? besides, the previous city does not has any sportiness element in it imo.

Conclusion:
Honda main target is to constantly improving their product to satisfy their customer and environment. Not like Toyota, they still use the old technology engine so that they can cut cost and offer cheap cosmetic items to their customer just to attract old minded and old tech customer  rclxub.gif as long as they can sell their product. (eg: Avanza and Inova still use cheap non-independant rear suspension (axle type same as lorry and old van), Camry still use cheap macpherson type front suspension, WISH still use rear non-independant beam suspension same as old Iswara. Vios, Altis, Avanza, Inova, Wish and Camry still use 4 speed auto transmission, all Hondas are already use 5 speed.  All this Toyota tricks are not well known to their old minded and old tech customer  rclxub.gif  in malaysia.

Think again.....  doh.gif

1. K&N Air Filter - Performance air filter; promotes better air flow (i.e. more efficient and effective than nomal paper filters. Hence resulting in more oxygen entering the engine so that fuel burns more efficiently. Also last longer, no need to change so often. Looks cool in the engine bay too. Conclusion: Increase horsepower and better fuel economy

2. Cold Air Intake (CAI) - Basically a device to bring in lower temp. air into the car's engine (basically funneling cold air to the air filter). Works the same as for #1, to increase horsepower through better efficiency. Theory is cooler air has higher density (greater mass per unit volume), more oxygen.. better combustion.

3. Heatshield - To attach to the air filter to keep out hot temperature around the engine bay area. Basically keeping the air as cool around the air filter area.

4. Iridium spark plugs - Last longer (no need to change so often). Improved ignition or combustion as the Iridium tip diameter is smaller than that of a standard plug hence reducing the likelihood of 'spark jump'. Hence supporse to increase power. IMHO, very marginal as new engines nowadays are very efficient. Want to buy 'cos it can last for 2 yrs without changing. The ones I'm using in my car 3 yrs already and still running well

5. Strut bar and lower arm bar - Better stability when cornering, in theory. For me, cool effect. When ppl open my engine bay. got that piece of metal from Ultra Racing..haha!

I'm a minimalist in terms to exterior mods.. prefer to keep it in the engine bay.

hehe this is what i call performance in discreet. thumbs up! thumbup.gif unlike those beng beng exaggerate exterior mods kononnya no powah, the exhaust macam chocking to death...

the new city air intake system has 2 parts, one is the rubber hose for air intake attached underneath the hood, and the other one is located behind the ECU. so if install 3rd party like K&N, hav to remove the rubber hose and mod the one behind ECU?

if u say like that, city i-vtec also not a new tech for it because civic and accord already got this i-vtec long time. it just a big engine transfer into small one.

for the gear box, 5 vs 4 AT, 4AT use in malaysia city road is enough except u are always stay on the highway.
*
apparently the ivtec in the city is a new engine different from the ivtec found in accord and civic, similar concept and i believe it is not just something recycled from accord/civic engine which is not the way honda does things. see the engine structure and layout also can tell the diff. thus the first 1.5cc to produced highest horsepower of 120ps, even beats the 1.6 VVTI of 117ps (china vios). besides, 5 gears can have better fuel efficiency, like that also got ppl complain? i dont know about u, but i prefer to buy a car that can perform good in both city and highway driving. 88k price tag is not good enough if its just for city driving

China Vios

why would you wan to limit yourself to 4AT and to 'city road'? maybe u got 2nd car specifically meant for highway? sry it is not good enough for me if buy a car only for city driving.
