I was also considering among these 3 cars. Sunny is a family car, economical, and with space. Vios is also cheap but smaller, better FC. City is more expensive, also SOHC. both Vios and Sunny are DOHC.

Go for the Sunny. Japanese-built, cheap and comfortable. My perception is that it belongs to a higher class too, together with the corolla altis. Whereas the City and Vios are actually scaled-down/budget versions of the Civic and the Corolla.Originally posted by powerpcsg:I was also considering among these 3 cars.

Economical? FC is highest among the 3... i tink.Originally posted by powerpcsg:I was also considering among these 3 cars. Sunny is a family car, economical, and with space. Vios is also cheap but smaller, better FC. City is more expensive, also SOHC. both Vios and Sunny are DOHC. -
Sunny manual FC is not so bad lahOriginally posted by mach10:Economical? FC is highest among the 3... i tink. -
vios has the lowest weight at 940kg

The difference in fuel consumption isn't that great and the difference in the purchase price between a Honda City and a Nissan Sunny far exceeds any fuel savings.Originally posted by mach10:Economical? FC is highest among the 3... i tink. -
Now i am deciding between Vios auto and Sunny manual, a very tough choice.
-
lowest weight in another word is easiest to slip out on bent wayOriginally posted by KLZW:vios has the lowest weight at 940kg -
why do you skip lancer auto? almost same price and FC as vios auto but 1.6L pure Jan productOriginally posted by powerpcsg:Now i am deciding between Vios auto and Sunny manual, a very tough choice. -
SOHC VTEC is inferior than DOHC?
-
being DOHC doesn't necessary make the engine superior to SOHC.Originally posted by Bad_1986:SOHC VTEC is inferior than DOHC? -
then what is the difference btw the both of them? why sohc is not as good as dohc?

A sunny with basic exhaust mods can clock close to 200km/h.Originally posted by PLC guy:Good question

FC very much depends on your right foot and the route taken (expressway/city driving).
It's not very fair to compare FC between sunny (1.6L), vios (1.5L) and city (1.5L). Definitely 1.5L cars offer better FC than a 1.6L car. But then, space, comfort and price of the 1.5L car may have to be compromised.
You can't travel fast in S'pore even on an expressway. So why bother about which car can travel faster?
If you're referring to "taking off", then may be there's still something to debate about.
I was very concerned about FC initially but then after weighing the pros and cons, I ended up buying a not so FC friendly car but it's spacious, comfortable, within my budget and meet my needs.
If you travel alot a day, then you should seriously consider a car that can offer you better FC. Else, why pay upfront more car loan with bank interest on the car that supposed to give you good FC as these cars don't come cheap?
Anyway, though petrol price is hefty nowadays but then you don't have to pay any bank interest for it as it's not part of the car loan and end of the day, it's you that control the usage of your car. -
DonÂ’t underestimate the long term cost of FC differences.
Consider FC of Car A is 10km/L and Car B is 12km/L. Looks an innocent difference of only 2km/L, but letÂ’s do a calculation:
For similar mileage e.g. 12km, Car A will use 1.2L while Car B will use 1L of petrol, i.e. Car A needs 20% more petrol, meaning Car A will pay 20% more in petrol than Car B.
If $50 per week is spent on petrol for Car B, that means Car A will spend $50 x 1.2 = $60
In 1 week, Car A will spend $10 more
In 1 year, Car A will spend $10 x 52wks = $520 more
In 10 years, Car A will spend $520 x 10yrs = $5200 more
Hence, fuel efficiency can easily make a difference of more than 10% of a carÂ’s price depending on usage. With petrol prices moving upwards in the long term, decide for yourself how important FC will be vs other attributes in the car you want.

Quoting from someone's reply in one of the car forums: Do not consider buying a car if you really worry about the FC of a car or overly concern on the escalating petrol price. Taking public transport or riding a bicycle may be a better commuting option for you.Originally posted by kmkm:DonÂ’t underestimate the long term cost of FC differences.

There will always be those who can afford a car but at the same time want to understand how FC can impact on their choice. Obviously nobody is stupid enough to consider FC ONLY when buying a big ticket item like a car, but FC is definitely something of a high priority for many people, especially if it can affect the long term cost of car ownership. My analysis is meant to help this group of car buyers, and not meant to spark any ridicule.
