Toyota ECHO with 1.5 supercharger and full TOM's body kit and wheels... You'll end up with an anime looking car that has real-world supercar performance.
Toyota Vios 1.5 G A/T:
107 HP (at the crank) - 30% power loss(power lost due to conventional torque-converter equipped slush disc + battery alternator + A/C compressor + power-steering hydraulic pump) == 75 HP (at the wheels)
Honda City-S 1.5 CVT:
88 HP (at the crank) - 16% power loss(alternator + A/C compressor + low power-loss CVT + no power-loss electric servo power-steering) == 74 HP (at the wheels)
I don't think that this is true. There are many clutches in the CVT of the City if not not mistaken it has 4. The first two clutches connects the engine and the transmission (double clutch). Then it goes to the belt drive (two sprockets). From there it goes to another clutch system before it reaches the differential. All this for 16% power loss!!!! The belt as they claim is made of steel is still prone to slipping and wear and tear. No sir I don't think that this is true.
I have driven both the City 1.3 CVT & the VIOS 1.5 A/T. Both cars behaved like a 1.3 & 1.5 engined cars, accelerating at the rate dictated by their respective engine sizes.
I guess the (mis)information came from the Honda sales people trying to get more customers by hook or crook.

Wow! Honda City 1.5 doing only 88HP... hehehe should be 1.3 lang.

hindi ko alam kung bakit ka nagtataka kapatid. Usually ang mga HP is measured at the flywheel (no alternator, A/C etc.) by the manufacturers. Kahit ang Mustang GT has a 16% drivetrain powerloss. Kahit na ang WRX ko na 227HP daw, eh 168.4 lang talaga ang flywheel HP using the "AWD Dyno Dynamics" in Australia (around 25% drivetrain powerloss due ot AWD capability). Then, using the AWD Dynojet (www.dynojet.com) in USA, it has a 16% drivetrain loss, WHP is now 190hp instead of 227. Buti nga 16% lang ang loss ng City considering na CVT pa sya. Ang palagay ko walang significant effect ang CVT kung tutuusin, dahil most cars has a 16% drivetrain loss anyway.
Ang advertised HP ng mga manufacturer is the Crank and not the Wheel HP.

i saw it on a malaysian or thailand automotive magazine.. yung comparo nila is the 1.5L vios vs teh 1.3L City... guess what their 0-60 times where?... .01 seconds lang ang diff nila.
