Have anyone try to get the RPM reading compare among the car in same class? does the 5AT trans give lower RPM @ high speed?

I have read all the post; it seems like there are so many pro n cons; if can next time put all the car on track and test drive it

T - DOHC
H - SOHC

for me i think honda tech have done some pretty good job on enhancing the car performance by maintaining with the SOHC tech.

One thing i notice is that the engine is not as bulky as other Honda car. so there is plenty space for you to mod.

Sure there will be ppl start of thinkin on how to mod the car. (change air cleaner, change exhaust system,change ECU...etc)

im planning to get this car with in 2 years time."save more so pay less on loan" kekeke. who knows till then got some better car on the road. technology keep on improving. maybe till then they will be a lot changes.
(i'm so amaze with the accord 3.5v6 tech, superb)

like toyota did, the have done some adjustment of the ECU to make the car Air-Fuel mixture better, gear shift smoother.

hope will get the rpm reading soon

120hp is just the engine it self; the paper does not lie. but in real world; we need to test xxx BHP

just my own opinion.

why after test drive; ppl say city is less pick up than vios
1. weight of the car
2. rim size
3. this is a new engine, new gear box so need time for tuning. not like vios using the same engine the same gear box over all the version of vios.
4. bore & stroke size is diff
5. torque & HP for both car is diff. from the spec stated on the paper; if travel @ a certain speed; i think city will be more advantage.
6. gear ratio will also be diff. to make city perform better maybe there's a better gear ratio which someday the engineer will find out

com'on la.. one is sohc; one is dohc how to compare? one thing i admire is that honda always bring the technology to the top. if u put a sohc version on vios engine; will it able to produce 120hp/145nm??

honda always proven in technology; while toyota is improving in minor mistake to make things more perfect. as u can see that the 1st version vios compare with the dugong version; the gear shift is much smoother.
so goes for avanza.

fingers have long n short; nothing is 100% perfect

one of the show car @ miri here been sell of to some one ady.. the low spec one. now the car is on the road liao.

at miri here got both spec. high spec for test drive. wish i got that money to buy
