Suggest you get the City instead. It's better value for money.
The Vios is just too conservative and common. The interior plastic
looks and feel cheap and the centre console is just so odd...it
looks like a scale down model of the Altis..
If you are going down to Kah Motors, look for Alice Goh or Jean. I
was served by Alice and lots of freebies thrown in (after some
sweet talking lah...haha). But importantly, City is really a better
car. There are quite a few car review on it in the local magazines
and it is sad that the real potential of the City is not fully
realised by the reviewer. Common complaints are it is sluggish in
the 'D' auto mode and so foth. But really the iDSI is optimised for
fuel efficiency and sufficient power for city driving.
If you want power, just switch to 'S' mode, activate the steermatic
for manual override and you will have hell of a drive! Just keep to
the speed limit though because at this stage, the City picks up
speed very very fast...maybe the reviewer should ask Honda JP for
advise on how to maximise usage of the CVT and steermatic and not
pen their review according to their normal driving
techniques.
Go for the highest spec iDSI CVT 1.5L with dual airbags, ABS. The
price has drop to $66,000 (I bought mine at $69,500 in Feb 2004),
so its even more value for money. Go for the black colour...its
looks cool!!!
