Ever tried to test your car's peformance with Toyota Vios

[GSR06]

Guys and Gals,
Haven't heard anyone comparing the performance of your car versus the Toyota Vios. Heard that the engine is powerful???

 

[SkYwAlKeR]

1.5 dvvt... not bad lah for a car that weight less than 1 tonne....

 

[turbolover]

well i would say its quite a powerful engine but still lost out to a putra auto(standard).tested.

 

[SkYwAlKeR]

putra 1.8L
vios 1.5L

no replacement for displacement (for NA engine)

 

[BLaCkHoWLiNG]

[theorekz]

ts, y dont u try comparing the civic (k20z2) with the vios 1.5? haha....

 

[rollakid]

true. 1.5E 960kg 1.5G 980kg. kerb weight. But in the end its all up to the driver's weight lol.. if you fat then no power also... the lighter the car, the more impact the driver/passenger's weight do to the car.

Why would we use a toyota vios as benchmark? is it the top of its class?

 

[rollakid]

more suitable for a base reference i would say...

 

[GSR06]

Thanks for sharing...

Anyway, why we choose Vios as a benchmark? Actually, I usually observed that based on the power to weigt ratio, Vios is not too bad and we had an experienced once on the highway where we tried to chase a Vios. We (4 persons) were driving at 190km/h (max) using Nissan Sentra 1.8L but can't seem to overtake Vios and the driver was still in front of us ... that is why I asked anyone tested with Vios before :)

The Vios's engine is using ALU block so its main advantage is light weight. Another thing that add that great punch to its power is the VVT-i.

But would be the result if a Vios against a Suzuki Cappucino 660T. :shocked: or a Daihatsu YRV 1.3T

Joe,
Do you know the top speed for Vios? I have no idea though... never heard of people going for top speed.

 

[Dino@Casper]

the vios also has a rather lower gear ratios compare to other car in its range i think.. correct me if i'm wrong.. my friend manage 190kmh on his vios.. but not adviceable..

 

[rollakid]

talk top speed again ar.. zzz.. no room for me.. i dunno anything about top speed, here no place to drive that fast. 150km/h is scary enough

i drive a vios myself.. all i can say this car is powerful in its class (1500cc). Of course u cannot expect a
I've got 2 vios in my house and one has some minor modding which is mine (eg. Pivot VS-E, HKS drop-in filter, 16" Sports Rim, front + rear strut bar) and it performs better than the stock one in terms of pick-up. Meanwhile, the stock one doesn't perform too bad either, i've managed to clock 180kmh on the highway but it was too wobbling due to the stock tires and without those strut bar, while i tested on mine and can reach 195kmh and it can still goes but my balls aint made in USA.

Another thing is the Over-Drive, find out that vios 3rd gear is very powerful (and like other forumer mention, is its gear ratio cause the 3rd gear can reach 180kmh and without red-lining yet to my suprise)

Once i manage to outrun a L200 on traffic light and a waja 1.6 (auto, if manual will definitely lose out on start).

Conclusion, this car is good for town driving and to those who occasinally love rembat rembat around town but if u going to compare this car with K20A or 4G9x or K3VET i guess the answer is shown before the comparison.
