Altis and Civic maybe a few hundreds dollars different, but price wise they are pretty close to each other.Originally posted by flyhigh!:Hi ppl, need kind advice from you.

Points I noted on these 2 cars are, Toyota has a good name when come to petrol consumption, I don't know about Honda. Maybe you want to ask the sales-persons how much km/L
I tested drive both Honda and Toyota, I find Honda steering is slimmer then toyota; I felt I have better control with a thicker steering wheel.
If you prefer power (e.g. over-taking other cars), Honda has a good name for it's engine power over Toyota. I think Toyota is a family car whereas Honda is a more sporty one.
If you are particular about where it is made from, Toyota is from thai, Honda.... should be Japs (not sure though).
Nissan Latio 1.5L launching tomorrow - I like its super quiet engine, I enjoyed the music on the radio when I tested drive. Seats are very executive (high-class...if you know what I mean?). Other features I like include keyless ignition, 14km/L petrol consumption, adjustable back-seats to 45 degree (sport version only) for passengers and forward-backward for more cargo space (sport version only), ionised air-con etc. -
honda civic vti provides very smooth driving,i really like the feel when i drive it.and its kits can make it look quite sporty too.altis is about more on the matured side,don't really know about the ride but toyota cars shd not be too bad,but one thing to note is the civic drinks petrol

Latio's FC is 14km/L??
Wow, first time Nissan has become the class leader in fuel consumption.. -
Actually, most if not all figures quote by distributors are usually achieve under circumstances that u and i wont get..Originally posted by cornyfish2000:Latio's FC is 14km/L??
Wow, first time Nissan has become the class leader in fuel consumption..
hahaha... i wouldnt believe the 14km/l.
Anyway, petrol is juz a small cost in owning a car. Dun read too much into it.
If so concern about fuel, might as well go buy FIT or KELISA...suppose to have fuel consumption close to 20km/l, i think.
hahah.... Then again, i should warn that whoever buys a new car now should be ready not to flip papers in the next 5 years to look at car adverts and also be prepared to pay $2 per litre if OPEC cuts production.
GOod luck to those vested in cars.... -
Thanks for the advice from u all. after my own evaluation, i would prefer a civic. Before that, is there any bad points about this car not in term of speed or performance, but in term of long lasting (repairing cost after 3 yrs).
this is due to i would like to drive a car as long as possible at least for abt 6 yrs.
Anyway, i did hear some of the nissan cars consume petrol like drinking water

they are only saying that the nissan sunny's cvt engine is a drinker ... i never heard pple saying about other nissan models ... not yet anywayzOriginally posted by flyhigh!:Thanks for the advice from u all. after my own evaluation, i would prefer a civic.

Ever hit 700km in one full tank? -
Altis is a good car. Powerful, spacious and quiet engine. FC is about 13km/litre.
It's more for a family car. It should be a correct choice buying Altis -

I owned both honda and toyota before. Honda, the engine is much more responsive than toyota, especially those with Vtec engine. The vtec is activated by fuel pressure. When your's RPM climb high enough, the vtec valve will open, then the engine gain extra torque, so car accelerate better.
Toyota's vvti engine is not the same, it's valve speed constantly changes to achieve better combustion effiency. So the vvti will save you more fuel.
For Latio's petrol consumption of 14 km/Litre, I think what written on the technical specification is not always true. Your driving habit matter the most, in regard to the petrol comsumption. To know Latio's petrol consumption good or bad, better get plenty of feedback from people who owned it. So that generally, you would know whether the petrol comsumption good or bad. Please note: For the case of Nissan's sunny, the petrol consumption written on the technical specification is not really accurate. So much complaint from people due it's high petrol consumption for years oready!Some friends even told me, it can only do a 9 km/litre.Altis and Civic maybe a few hundreds dollars different, but price wise they are pretty close to each other.

Originally posted by mach10:Yio, Brother. Fully agreed. My record for altis is 702 km per full tank. For reaching the record, I almost cant make it to the nearest petrol station to re-fuel. Because, the tank almost empty liao!Hahaha.
Satisfacted with toyota.
But VVTI can't win Honda's I-DSL. I-DSL is doing average 16 km/litre!so amazing!!!
Toyota best.

Right choice!!! Civic for sure better than Altis.
I am driving a Civic VTIS, superior & responsive engine & simply dress a bit with accessories, it will turn into a very sporty car. Unlike other car, no matter how you dress up, it is still like Uncle car...... -
Yes, I guess of the 3 options, Civic would be the best choice. Too bad Honda went limp-wristed with the Civics since they discontinued the SiR.Originally posted by TwinTurbo_Supra:i wud definitely take a civic lor.
New batch of Vti and Vti-S just can not make it!!! KM should have brought in the DOHC 1.8 Vti-S, instead of the lame SOHC 1.7 version. -
my friend's Honda about 1 year old, he drive from singapore to Ipoh during CNY, halfway, aircon coil burn!
he said he will never by Honda again! -
Your friend so unlucky, mine already drove for 2 and a half years, so far so good! Once 's Honda, Always Honda! Cheers!!!
Sorry for that, whole family owned Honda's car! This is the 3rd Civic I owned, from EK4, EG6 then ES8. Right now, waiting for the new Civic 2006, seem like the outlook have totally changed of image. As for the specifications, it is a 2.0 I-Vtec DOHC engine, price for the car must be expensive too. Got to save up $500 every month then should be able to upgrade by then. Anyone interested, have a look on the website on the Chicago Auto Show 2005. -
y cant dey put i-Vtec into civics?
-
If talking about Sir then surely good.... but its of different class that is sports sedan.
For vtis.... its FC loses to corolla. Powerwise.... loses to older corolla.... not sure about altis cos altis is a very heavy sedan.
2 and half year dont not mean good in term of Jap brand.
If you are talking about proton then its consider okie......
Jap cars will have no problem for 5 yrs.... and even above.
u cans see in spore and m'sia where there are lots of corolla and old type nissan using over 10 yrs some even 20 yrs. yeah there are also many accord used over 10 yrs in spore.
