I am seriously considering trading in my 11-year old CAMRY 2.2 for a smaller car with lower fuel consumption, a shame really as the car is in excelent condition and clocked only 103,000km. My choice was between the CITY VTEC and VIOS 1.5G. Now that I have read your articles highlighting excellent comparisons between the two cars, it has to be VIOS! However, I would appreciate having further fuel consumption figures for town driving between the CITY and VIOS. I assume the test figure of 18.07km/l published in Part II of your article covers predominantly highway (I am not familiar with the stretch of road mentioned in your review). Many thanks.

For noise test - is the distance between the engine to the sensor is the same for vios and city ? Performance comparison - data only apply to New Vios vs City Vtec..but no information on Nissan Latio. So how to say that Latio performance is uncomparable. New Vios - Power 109ps/6000rpm Torque 141Nm / 4200rpm Latio - Power 109ps/6000rpm Torque 153 / 4400rpm The major thing is , the weight. Latio kerb weight is heavier than Vios. But which model of Latio is select to compare with New Vios ? All latio have different kerb weight with respect to model. In order to make people to accept this comparison , those test should be done by third party. Just my personal opinion. i personally think that this New Vios comparison is not really acceptable.
