Nissan Sunny vs Toyota Vios
-
Hi,
Intend to get either a NS or TV manual gear. Which do you think is better?? The TV is abt $1k more than NS. -
No comparison, Vios is a lower class with Thai-built quality (noisier cabin too), go for the Sunny, made in Japan and better built quality (better comfort cabin)Originally posted by Extremme:Hi,

vios not thai-made, it's thai-assembled. anyway many branded goods nowadays got the 'made in china" label, who cares? some ppl just can't have proper mindset...

yes there are..Originally posted by starrystars:Is there a manual Vios version in SG? -
NS sux...no power one....very draggy....
-
actually I am not very concern abt its power. I just need a normal family car which is economical.
Comparing the 2, NS seems to look more solid. -
Thai-made, Thai-assembled, what's the difference? The problem lies with the lower than standards built quality, heavy use of localised materials, not as stringent quality control, as those which are made in Japan, undeniable about that.Originally posted by AnthonyT:vios not thai-made, it's thai-assembled. anyway many branded goods nowadays got the 'made in china" label, who cares? some ppl just can't have proper mindset...
It may seems cheap getting these cost down models, but still at the end of the day, you still get what you paid for. There are massive savings for Toyota (the forthcoming Indonesian-made Innova is even more cheaply made), but the savings to customers are minimal.
If Vios is so good, why its not on sale in Japan? Even the Altis isn't. In Japan, only the face-lifted Corolla is on sale there. Japanese are very particular about quality, especially to their JDM models. -
The Sunny is more solid alright, it have European Safety Standards Chassis. (Vios have none, not even Japan Safety Standards) To realised the real power of the Sunny, one must rev above 4000 rpms.Originally posted by Extremme:actually I am not very concern abt its power.

If you are looking at only economical terms, Vios and Altis have them, cos VVTi engines are very efficient But you have to sacrifice the rest, like Ride Comfort (important on our lousy tarmac roads), Car Insulation, Interior space, Driving Feel, Built Quality, etc. -
Hrm...seems like NS is my choice then. Thks.

Please DO NOT get the Sunny. It is cheap yes, but only on the upfront. You are forgetting things like FC. The FC of the NS is really really bad compared to the other cars, and when you are comparing it with a Toyota, known for fuel saving, the choice is clear cut. Dun get fooled into buying a Sunny just because the retail price is cheap, there are other factors involved. No offence to Sunny owners, because I myself drive one, so I know.

Like I have mentioned, real powers kicks in only after 4000rpms. To ensure good fuel efficiency, one got to shift up at 2000 rpms, and light on the throttle of course.Originally posted by Subbx:Please DO NOT get the Sunny. It is cheap yes, but only on the upfront.

get the NS but the manual ones .. you will feel the differene ... the auto trans have not much power unless you want to do SOMETHING to it lor ... but my vote goes to the NS for a family man ... it fits nicely

The best is to get a car that fit your budget, fuel saving, having sufficient technical support that is needed when it is being send
for serving and repairs.
Make in thailand do not neccessary means low quality dudes...
Afterall, it is direct technological transfer from japan... meaning tat watever machines that the japanese have is also available in thailand, for the manufacturing plants . I dun think toyota will wan to put it's own name at stake rite? The only thing that differs will be human factor. Japanese are well known for being those who likes their own products, with the label made in jpn. therefore it is very obvious why make in thailand cars are not marketed there .....
Nissan well well, they did not promote that they are fuel saving technology to consumers in the first pl. Nissan from my knowledge is more expertise in production of performance cars like skylines, silvia and so on and so for... Nissan sounds so distant from being a choice of the younger generation esp after the recall incident tat happen a yr ago... But generally it is a very reliable family car as stated by johncooper.... -
Go do a simple close door test on both cars, listen to the closing sound, that will basically tells you the difference in Built Quality.Originally posted by Extremme:Hrm...seems like NS is my choice then. Thks. -
Do a proper testdrives of both cars, below is the guide:Originally posted by Extremme:Hrm...seems like NS is my choice then. Thks.

i think vios will be much more better,cuz the NS fuel consumption will be much more higher than the vios...and if you want to get a car which can last longer,i think toyota is the best,although vios is thailand made...but do you think that it will make much diff? in my point of view is that all have to depends on how you take care of the car and not by judging it came from where...Originally posted by Extremme:Hi,

I buy the point that if Vios and Altis is so good, it will offered in Japan as JDM.
Go for the NS. Better design cabin, better built quality although FC is an issue but chose the manual for better FC. The new CVTC is still jerky and the e-throttle makes no difference. My friend just bought one auto NS Ex model. FC is slightly better than last model face lift. Auto box is jerky. Very unlike CVTC technology. NS should have better resale value. -
I will be getting the manual 1.5 NS. Both has its pros and cons. "Yi Fen Qian, Yi Fen Hou" i guess. Thank you all for your feedback.
-
Why don't you check whether your friend is driving Nissan and ask them for opinion. Or you can comb the car park and check with Nissan owners. Their opinion is much sincere. That is what I have done when I zoom in on a model.
-
Generally speaking, I am rather concern abt FC but seems like NS looks more spacious compared to vios and that is why I chose NS. I will seek further inputs from NS friends.

The Sunny FC is at best 9 km per litre. Only those who are selling the Sunny sales rep will disagree with this figure.Originally posted by pixy:Like I have mentioned, real powers kicks in only after 4000rpms. To ensure good fuel efficiency, one got to shift up at 2000 rpms, and light on the throttle of course.
But not to worry, there are other ways to improve FC:
1. Always drive down hill, with the engine switched off if possible
2. Switch off the engine while waiting at traffic junction
3. Reduce weight by replacing all the car seats with plastic stools
