Reasons Not to buy Honda City.

[AutoBlackie]

I've a fren always praise his City. What does Vios have to say bout this? Vios is so straight, no CVT EPS and nice stuff to attract and no "fun" factor. However, Honda from feedback, not so durable. Man I'm torn between these arguaments.
Wat IS THIS after 2 YEAR on the ROAD still no clear winner???? :lol:

i think VIOS is better in terms of outlook as CITY is weird......cheers

 

[banzai]

Wow.. this is very subjective matter I would say, that's why until today there is no clear winner.

I agree on the outlook part, Vios does look more handsome. But one thing I don't like is, it has a very small cabin. The passenger legroom really need more space.
Honda some how is more generous in term of legroom and cabin design.

 

[AutoBlackie]

Toyota really long lasting la. CVT already got some what, start clutch problems. Aiya if no such thing I can see it as a clear winner le ......
Ah but then, Honda City = Fun.....really confused. Can't they make nice looking, durable and fun car meh!!!

 

[DJmobile]

from my opinion, vios is a winner compared to city..
B)

 

[Jasper]

from a person that drive a honda i still think VIOS looks nice with TRD bodykit and all .. for City nehhh honda designer nowdays well what i can say getting worst :(

engine wise .. hehhehe dunno

 

[guest18]

will they bring in vios turbo

Vios doesnt have the stupid CVT transmission City uses.

 

[quottro]

and well...that practically reduces the power lost at the transmission for the vios..hence, a more responsive ride with better handlin'....yet the only drawback would be the shorter legroom compared to the city....width is about the same...

however, not forgettin' the city VTEC is about 60 to 80 kg heavier than the vios...

CIty <--- what we called " kereta terbalik...the back can be front n the front can be the back...look wierd maaaa..."

Viios <--- nice to see, nice too hold, once make ur heart broken, considered sold...heeeee

LOOKS = Vios
HANDLING = Vios
SOUND INSULATION = Vios
ENGINE MUSCLE = Vios
RELIABLE = Vios ( as compared to some CITY's probs with CVT start clutch)
WIFE approval Factor = VIOS

CABIN SPACE = CITY
FUEL CONSUMPTION = CITY
POWER AT WHEELS = CITY ( thanks to CVT) but about the same as Vios
PRICE = CITY (for 2 ABS, EBD)
FUN = CITY (7-speed squential gear changes..nice)

Have a freind with Civic 1.7. Can't chase CITY iDSI when going up hill (Gentings), thanks to CVT effectively keeping the car in good powerband all the time. No lag like conventional auto when gear shifts cause CVT don't shift.
But then what good if it is not durable? :huh:

 

[quottro]

u sure the city's fuel consumption is better than the vios?..hehe

 

[koolspyda]

i know of people who buy cars because of the marque's reputation. Some on friends recommendations. Some like to be one of the "jones's".

Dman, many guys like City cause "honda". and pick up wise, it pretty good. (sat in friend's city)

Well, you know Toyota very conservative in specs and they prefer "longer lasting impression" in overall ownership.

at least it not a Plotong

 

[AutoBlackie]

at least it not a Plotong

:lol:

I think that the dampering on the City is slightly better than that of the Vios....

But one thing I cant stand is the City's friggin UGLY butt.....no offence to all you Honda blokes but the designer really went out of his way to screw the outlook of the car man! :lol: :o :P
