Some people very like Honda cause of its design-sporty look.
Some people believe in Toyota cause of its quality-long life.
But people wanna sell Honda after 5-10 years,cause of radiator problem.
But the buyer always look Toyota not a sporty design compare to Honda.

pls tell me.....do you agree with me people?

hi adynax,
i agree with u that i like honda of its futuristic looks and design but
when it comes to quality, i vote for toyota and having 1 in my garage, no
regrets. never own a honda before due to its well-known suspension sounds
after some time. not sure whether this problem will persist. as a buyer,
i would rather go for quality if im not always changing my car so that it
could last long with low maintenance and not just good looks alone for a
short period of time.

Both car parked in front of my house.

If both manufacturer can merge up and become ToyoDa instead of Toyota and
Honda, maybe we will have a perfect cheap car.

Build Quality - I hate to say this, seem like this time, City wins over
Vios. Even the door closing sound also more solid.

Comfort - Mix bag. As a driver, I have no complaints but my passenger seem
less than happy when there were 4 of them in the rear seat. City fares a
lot better but the harder suspension seem to break my back along with the
stone like seat.

Performance - I feel like Vios is a bit more powerful but some people
suggest VTEC is better. For me, I prefer a high revving engine thus I like
Vios and the gear ratio is somewhat similar to a manual. When I drive City,
with the CVT, got mixed feeling. You dont feel the kick of high rpm but
sometimes it does surprised when the speedometer tells you its already
100KMH although it doesnt feel like it.

CVT GB is like that ma, no feel and very smooth right? i have been a
passenger once in a city, dont like the feel at all but that was i.DSi
la..

felt vios is better as a passenger car but with less space only. city's
suspension a lot harder right? i remembered the last time i sat in it
made me pening-pening haha..

how come u have both the cars in ur house? usually people will only
choose either one. sorry ha, being busy body for a while hehe..

Simon,

Honda is damn blardy stupid for retaining the so called racing spec spring.
Its damn hard. Anyway, my mom VTEC used to be a 2007 spec VTEC before it
was stolen and we bought another 2008 spec VTEC. I can say at least the
2008 spec has softer seat which somewhat compensate a little bit for the
comfort.
