Joy Ride & Test Drive… @ 17/5/2009

Test drove both Honda City and Toyota Vios with Nixon today after being tempted by my ex-colleague Ever & her hubby Edwin about the power of Honda City though I’m slightly bias towards Toyota Vios. The new Honda City is indeed more “leng chai” than the previous design as well as Toyota Vios which really makes me falls for it and decided to give it a try. However, I was kind of disappointed after I sat onto the E-Spec Honda City and test drove the car. Despite than the not-so-comfortable jerk / momentum feeling whenever I pump in more petrol to speed up, the engine sound gave me the most unexpected outcome where both Nixon and I felt it was rather annoying. I understand that Honda try to put in the F1 kind of driving experience but the engine sound is real loud even though I drove on a busy road.

We then went to the nearby Toyota showroom and test drove the G-Spec Toyota Vios on the same route. It was a different driving experience compared to what I had with Honda City and… Wow~ it does earned compliments from both of us, although we still hear the engine sound when I speed but it is relatively less noisy than Honda City. Having known that S-Spec has stopped production and facing out, I decided to lock-in my booking the same day. Hope I can still manage to get my chosen spec and desired color by then. As for now, I gotto start to work harder and earn more $$$$ lur~ No more spending, no more shopping, no more holidays, no more free weekends... =.=”
