Baby Vios.

Quite overprice for a small car... should compete with Honda Jazz VTEC or Suzuki Swift.

My take? Honda Jazz VTEC. Why? The 7-speed CVT is worth it! Toyota still uses outdated torque converter auto.

yalor! Agreed with what u said. For RM100k i rather add in another rm50k for a Honda Crv or a Toyota Wish:regular_smile:

this is not buying road side chicken rice or economic mix rice you know.

honestly i really wish this chicken rice price happen to proton car, maybe buy one free one basically they are just ain't worth the price we all pay for.:regular_smile:

last time there's an article in china press mentioning about toyota going to launch vitz in 1.0cc,1.3cc and 1.5cc with the price 30k,50k and 70k...hmm..but it came out with toyota yaris 1.5 with the price that we almost can buy a new perdana 2.0v6..overpriced~

vitz 1kr-fe engine can't be 30k lar.. at least 35k.. if 30k then its even cheaper than hin japan XD

yes,of coz honda jazz!more member of jazz mah!if it drop down around rm70k..i might get it.

or maybe just get a VR4 like aaron's.... they should lower down thier price... talk about competing with jazz and suzuki swift... i would choose a jazz or swift anytime over a yaris... dunno why.... the price just doesnt seem to justify what they are offering.... almost 100k.... can get lots of good, spacious and powerful cars

VR4 is not for everyone... difficult to maintain, expensive parts, high FC, fight for rare parts, old car and tons of noise around.

Compared to SOHC VTEC on Jazz, Yaris is quite underpowered...

Why?

Jazz have the advantages:

1. No torque converter - save 20-30hp, maybe lose 15hp via CVT
2. No hydraulic power steering, Jazz uses EPS (electric motor) - save 5hp

Yaris has all the crap:

1. Torque converter - outdated auto box, lose 25hp
2. Hydraulic power steering - lose 5hp

The both have the following in common:

1. Alternator
2. A/C

 

[rollakid]

wooo.. can that eps be modified and bolt on all kinds of cars?

i don't think CVT is so good lah .... remember the old subaru n nissan with CVT 9 speed .... and how many car still using TQ compare CVT .....

 

[ronaldlaw]

Actually personaly i quite like this car...new model(in Malaysia)..new look compare with JAZZ(base in malaysia also)..but price wise..i could rather take Civic 1.8,City 1.5vtec,Vios 1.5G or even buy 2 Myvi...hehe

 

[HidSeller]

yah i will go for two MyVi too ....
hehehhehe

Someone did modified the EPS to fit on an older Honda Accord. Lots of work but it really works.

can it be modified to fit ae86 steering rack? sorry n00b question cuz i never really know how EPS look like or how they really work or how is their construction.

i'm now running with power steering rack but no powersteering. PS-pump's belt on my table now, didn't use it, since the seal inside the rack leak, so there's no preasure at all, feel like normal steering.

ps# sorry i hijacked ur thread.. sorry everyone

hahahaha.. leng lui hijack thread nvm one hahahahaha *cabut*
