Do you think with the new city with a 17inch rims would look alot better? I cant really imagine one but isnt the city a bit longer in length than the vios? If yes, then what color would you suggest with a 17 inch rims silver color?

and yes you are right, the paddles are fun to have. But which is more FUEL efficient than the two? Thanks.

I think it will depend on personal preference if how the 2 cars affected you when you saw them. for me sa city if may budget then vios if mas nagtitipid. But i heard mas malakas sa gas ang city compared sa Vios.

Isn't it the 17's are too harsh already -, well atleast, for subcompacts.

The GT/A 's ride is quite harsh already with 18's, considering that it's a compact sedan already.

The Altis' fuel consumption is around 10km/l city driver an albeit higher for the highway driving.

The 1.8 Altis will be pretty much near to the Civic's. 8-9km/l city. 11km/l mixed. :D

The regular Vios doesn't ride too badly on 17" rims, and acceleration for the MT is still decent with the big wheels. (slower, but still faster than the AT version with the 15's).

I don't know about the TRD package, because it includes a revised suspension. I don't know if this suspension will be more "matagtag" than the stock suspension with big wheels... however, it may go some way to curing the poor rear axle control the standard Vios has.

yung bago na white or yung dark gray. check mo na lang sa FC consumption database ng honda thread para makapag deside ka na actually para sakin regardless naman ng make and model, difference ng 2 or 3km/L sa FC for 5 to 10 years na paggamit mo ng auto is hindi naman ganun ka laki in terms of money spent on gas. basta gusto mo yung design and nag-enenjoy ka i-drive, yun na yun.

Mataas din pala ang reservation fee for the S at 50k.

Mind you they are selling like hotcakes

Indeed they are selling like hotcakes in cebu right now. And yes, the 50k is a bit high for a reservation.

I have finally decided to get the VIOS S version. But i am currently having doubts again as i saw the news last night about the RECALL thing. Is the new vios model affected by this? As i dont want to push through with the reservation if it is as i will be driving alot with my fiancee and child. Please enlighten me. Thanks.

^ In short. No, they're not affected. :D
