[Merged] Honda CITY vs Toyota VIOS

[alex manalo]

i'd go for the vios also

[prinsipe]

vios ako.

[sHoCkAbSoRbEr]

i'm after the power... so i'd go for vios...

[ssaloon]

mk::: ayaw nyo ng black?

[pajerokid]

Exaclty as i thought..... although talagang high tech gadgetry yung 7 speed selectable tranny, nakakasawa rin siguro after a while. But of course, i like the CVT tranny.... im just talking about it being selectable. Nut it sure wont hurt having it.

Parang invecs II.

[kimpOy]

weird looking ang city, pero sikat ang honda sa weird looking first then it grows unto you, naks

tignan mo yung ES nung unang dating man ang pangit sa paningin ko, mas ok pa ang EK pero ngayon gandang ganda na ako.
baligtad naman sa toyota, dati ang ganda ng Altis pero ngayon , parang inverted bathtub, no offense mga chongs imho lang naman saka wala akong credibility pag dating sa cars he...he

I sometimes drive my mom's new City and got tired to trying to get the 7 speed manually selectable A/T to work the way I like it. In the end, I just placed it on D.

It's a gadget not worth getting if you have the option of not getting it.

ayaw nd dad ko sa black....ndi daw makita kapag gabi.....altough maganda sya...

[ghosthunter]

too bad... because I have a black car and when before it was bought, my parents also strongly advised me against the color black. I still went thru with the black color and was very happy with it until today.

Hi!


i read a comment sa inquirer a while back that i think is the best description for the City..."anime" -- think DragonBall Z B).

If i had the means, i'd had to pass on both Vios and City...ang liit eh! If not for my doubts about maintenance costs, i'd go for the Lynx B). The Sentra's nice, pero...parang di sporty ang dating ng 2003 model...still like the 1997-2000 model(series 3 ba un?).

Re the color black...pag nyt driving, most probably naka on naman ung lights eh...

Cguro na lang kung naka parking ka sa madilim na lugar...then ur keyless entry kit would come mighty handy ;).

sabi ng friend ko, mukang sinelas yung CITY, yung isa naman, mukang sapatos. lito na ako, kala ko pangkayod ng yelo.

Kung ako, pipiliin ko pa den city, kasi type ko CVT, yung 1.3, yung gear selector sa manibela, i could just imagine kapag stuck ako sa manila traffic.. ang sarap.

As for the VIOS, sa tingen ko ALTIS na lang ako... muka nga shang baby altis IMHO.

the gear selector in the City's steering wheel is a gimmick which you will get tired of in about 15 minutes. You don't select a gear, you suggest a gear to the car and thinks it over.

To know what I am talking about, try borrowing a Honda City of a while and get the feel of the steering wheel shifter.

In either car, if you choose the A/T version, you'll probably end up with the shifter in "D" most of the time.

gahnoon!!!

Sheesh! What a stupid concept! :D Parang may board meeting ka with your Electronically controlled tranny!

Invecs III pa rin! (Well im assuming it doesnt function in the above manner)

yup... gahnoon! Also the City might be quick accelerating in speeds below 60kph but reality & physics catches up very quickly as you accelerate to 90kph and use a calendar to measure your acceleration beyond 100kph. 83HP from the 1.3liter engine can only go so fast.

The best A/T with manual selector I have tried was the one found in the 2001 BMW 318. Feels almost like a manual. Smooth shifts (although not fast enough if you are in a drag race).

[ozcity]

and also the 530i ....very smooth ang shifting...
