  this is how you ask:
  
  Simple
  
  "Can you give me freebies?"
  
  Assume close
  
  "What freebies do I get?"
  
  Affiliates
  
  "That time my friend book got free fog lamp, 15" sports rim, a 40" plasma TV and one year supply of Wall's ice cream. I only need fog lamp and sports rim.. ok?"

  I also very interested in Vios...
  Do you all have leather seats ? Read from toyota website it is not a standard...
  but i saw a Vio, and it looks really good inside with dark leather seats... really tempted...
  
  But the interior is not very spacious....but i think if the costs are low and the design is not bad, its worth a try rite?
  
  So how much did you pay for the Vios ?? New car?
  From website its abt 64K... can get it lower from elsewhere?

  im stil split betw the vios and city (idsi). both ard the same price, ard the same performance; vios has less space but looks better.
  anything to swing my decision? omv? fuel efficiency?

  Have you test drive both cars to compare?
  
  City is superior to VIOS in the following:
  - much more boot space
  - better acceleration from rest
  - better fuel economy
  - foldable rear seats
  - cvt transmission with manual overrride
  - higher OMV
  
  Actually considered Vios because of sporty looks, but that's about all.
  - Central dash board looks good but not practical and ergonomic.
  - small shoulder and head room for rear passenger
  
  Of course, herd instinct usually rules in the end. This is the typical Singaporean mindset that made Toyota no. 1 here.
  
  Trust me, City is the better choice.

  Only difference is VTEC will have higher power and fuel consumption. Everything else is identical.
  
  BTW, don't be overly concerned concerned by OMV comparison. After 10 years, you'll get back only 55% of OMV, which means that for every $1,000 of OMV, LTA will return $550. Unless the OMV is very much higher, there is negligible difference.

  I agree. Bring along two friends to sit at the rear seat of both City and Vios to compare. This will clear your doubts once and for all.
