toyota vios and suzuki ignis sports ....
-
Hi ,
I am thinking of getting a car , made my choice between a toyota vios and suzuki ignis sports , i am looking for a car with great exterior and interior look . I would prefer a car with great accelaration , my budget is ard 70k , so any one can give mi some suggestion or idea ??? Tks !!1 -
Vios would be more geared towards comfort and less towards performance. Maybe the alternative u can look at is the YRV turbo.
-
yeah i heard of the yrv too , but dun really like its outlook , personally prefer sis , heard from one of u guys that sis is coming out in 4 dr version , how true is it ??? Btw i heard from my friend that vios accelaration is pretty impressive ???

er.... no. not at all. its almost 1 second slower to 100 than the SIS or YRV, for the manual.the autos are almost 3 seconds slower. -
ermmm.... ok thanks for ur reply , is the sis 4 dr version coming ?? hw true is it ??? For performance , yrv turbo and sis , which stands out ????
-
well honestly, i haven't heard of the rumors of the 4 door SIS. so i can tell u how true that is. As for YRV and SIS, well the YRV is slower by 0.1 seconds which means theres not much to choose from really. The only real difference is that YRV is TC and SIS is NA. each have their own advantages n disadvantages.Originally posted by DennisTan:ermmm.... ok thanks for ur reply , is the sis 4 dr version coming ?? hw true is it ???

The Suzuki Ignis Sport will not be coming out in four-door guise, as it is a homologation special and is based on the design of the Juniour WRC Rally Car, which is a two door (and vice-versa). The widened wheelarches and fenders would mean that a four door version would really compromise on the form of the car, and would result in very wide rear doors, little space, a lot more weight as well as very compromised structural ridigity.
The YRV Turbo Daihatsu, however, does come in four door, but it has a narrower front and rear track and width than the Ignis Sport. Between this and the Ignis Sport, I would soley recommend the latter - the YRV T weighs a hefty, almost unbeleivable for its size 1420 kg due to its low-cost body materials (tensile steel), heavy moon/ sunroof mechanism, weighty four speed sequential automatic transmition as well as the weight penalties being a five door hatchback as mentioned above. From what I have read, its handling is also compromised by its overly-stiff suspension which, combined with the lack of a LSD, results in prolonged wheelspin, and ever-present pitch and roll, despite the stiff springs and dampers, due to the sheer heft of the car and very slow shifting, basic transmission. Basically it is a flawed chasis combined with a relatively capable engine.
The VIOs is a different machine compared to these two warm hatches. It is more focused on cruising and comfort-orientated ( shown by its higher ride height and very low spring rate) and is more roomy and practical than both vehicles mentioned above. It is also more conservative (read, IMHO, boring), slower and less capable in performance than the Ignis S and YRV T.
Personally I would take the Sukuzi Ignis sport for a spin, and decide if its the car for you then

I remember this Toyota Hatch which was Turbocharged, saw it in a local mag but argh! i cannot remember name!
-
YESSSS! I REMEMBER THE NAME!!! THE YARIS TURBO!!! sub 1 ton curbweight, 150bhp, available thru PI only.
-
Heng, Was it a Toyota Starlet Glanza V? That is a 1.3 litre compact turbo
-
ermm ... dats allright may88 is just trying to help and most likely she type too fast , it happens to all of us yeah .... i think the toyota hatch heng is talking abt is toyota vitz ???? heard its damme ex for a hatch back
-
Yaris! the damn Yaris turbo! Thats one pretty awesome car.Originally posted by Ali_Khl:Heng, Was it a Toyota Starlet Glanza V? That is a 1.3 litre compact turbo -
No no its not the Vitz. sorry. its the Yaris Turbo!
-
Yep I can imagine it is! I have seen a Yaris T-Sport back in Swedon once, but not seen any here. The VW Lupo GTi is also one hell of a performer - 150HP compact 1.5, 0-100 km/h in 8.2 and very capable handling.
-
ohh its yaris u guys r talking abt , heard of it before in a car mag , but since its from toyota and its turbo sure cost a bomb ..... in singapore frankly speaking its really not much of a use driving turbo charge car ard , its dangerous with all those tp waiting for victim huh ...
-
yeah. theres one or 2 in sg i think. Torque or Motoring did a handling shootout with 5 cars: City, Vios, 206GTi, SIS and Yaris T. oh Lupo GTi is also one sweet hatch. wonder why we dun see any in sg.Originally posted by Ali_Khl:Yep I can imagine it is!

its, if i never remember wrongly, just under 100k.Originally posted by DennisTan:ohh its yaris u guys r talking abt , heard of it before in a car mag , but since its from toyota and its turbo sure cost a bomb ..... in singapore frankly speaking its really not much of a use driving turbo charge car ard , its dangerous with all those tp waiting for victim huh ... -
Yeah it is quite a shame, but i think its the fact that continental performance cars cost quite a bit here - the Lupo GTi would most probably sell for more than 120'000$ if on sale here, considering the price of its older brother the Golf GTI when sold here. Thats WRX and Integra Type-R money right there
