How to compare? Totally different characteristics.

But bear in mind, both also got gearbox issue.

PV6 if fitted with ATF cooler then its good & safe to have it, coz its comfortable & safe, very much in control, but sacrifice a bit on the FC. But Mitsu 6A12 2.0L V6 engine has good moddabilities potential.

City IDSI CVT gearbox prone to fail after certain mileage, but its 1.5L engine is very good on FC and adequate power to drive around town with acceptable comfortness. But dun expect performance. If you're constantly on highway, better get the Vtec, coz IDSI not meant for long distance highway cruising.


Ram me if you can!

Been driving my Perdana V6 since 2004. Yes, it still look cun cun!

Look for 2005 and above Perdana V6 (already fitted with external cooler for autobox's oil). Greater chance of survival.

The ride is better (more comfort) than new Honda Civic. Pls don't shoot me!

I heard maintenance cost for Perdana V6 is pretty high, please tell me if any of you bought a 2nd hand Perdana V6, 2005 onwards or 2004 onwards, whichever come first.
