Currently at Subang SC for my 1st service. I will provide feedback once my service is done. Hopefully not a long service.

eh ur name is not in the list... haha... mine to tell us???
C drive comfort... if you wan to have better performance then try Hankook V12... comfort but performance... but the noise is a bit higher coz it is directional thread...

17" will not scrap ur fenders if you buy the proper offset rims... and also if your suspension is too soft then try to put performance spring and absorber it will do the trick...

is ok... but when??? lets make a date??? er... 31s Oct??? time???

reporting in
own a vios e spec
year 2005

before the facelift

all sifu i have an question...how come my vios sound very loud when rev it and i can hear the noise from outside.. damm annoying eh... i saw 1 lyn talking about the autofoam.. actually what is it? and how much does it cost?

1stly Welcome here and the engine sounds is like that...
autofoam for bonnet cover and side fenders is around RM500++ if not mistaken...
not sure as i did not intend to foam my car...

The C Drive quite for me, the noise level of 55 & 50 seems negligible.

oh, mine 05 E spec.
Still stock except for rims & head unit.
mileage 63k
Full city drive consistently 450km/tank. dunno why so little compare to others

Oh ya, i got screwed by Toyota SC regarding brakes. So now i'm so pissed that i won't go any Toyota SC regarding anything at all.
BTW their a/c service is crap, u can get same service for half the price from a/c specialist. They also call up outsiders to service your a/c so it doesn't make any difference. I know cos I follow their service manual till 40k even though warranty is 30k or 3 yrs. So the advice is get your ride service done outside after the warranty period, no point paying more for something that can be done for much less.

warranty is 100k or 3 yrs la...
A/C service did not give it to them at all... but y u screw them on the brakes? what have they done?
i found out 1 thing when my fren enlighten me... check ur tires b4 and after... all the stones stuck in between the thread had been removed... wow... i checked and yes my Vios tires are pretty clean of stones... but make sure make a complaint on SC when they are not doing a good job la...

My mistake , its 100k or 3 yrs
I meant to say i serviced there at 40k when its over 3 yrs which means no more warranty.
The a/c i just followed the manual to serviced it last time, now no more, all service outside. I've been to 2 SC ie Segambut (notorious for its incompetence) & Kepong (considered new since its less than 3 yrs i think), both also manned by idiots. They don't even know their products well & wanna bluff customers Complaint till Toyota Japan also no use, cos SC is under UMW. I've read in TVCM forum that most complaint directly to SC manager or UMW/Toyota, most of the complaints went straight to dustbin. (That's few years ago since i've never logged since)
Anyway, my story is too long, its regarding skimming of brakes, suffice to say that they screwed up the works & want me to re-pay & re-skimmed. I was like WTF.

Completed my service by 11.30 at UMWT Subang. Overall my experience is positive. The staff i met were competent and friendly. He is also able to answer my questions on the warranty which i will share it out on the q&a section.

Btw welcome vreis & squarefight! Added u inside the owners list already.

thanks ya bro hahaha is my pleasure to join vios club.. no doubt vios is a nice car lol..
for those old owner do you all still send your beloved vios back to service center even the car already 3 years??
now i still in the dillema situation by should i send my vios back to service center or just send it to outside bengkel?? suggestion pls all vios owner.

I'll see how coz after warranty mine is 80k so go back... till now net yet reach 90k... but i have to change the engine oil also coz year end 6 months already... seldom go outstation already cos no more budget...
so by end of the end i'll see how... might go back or might not...

air-cond is service outside... ur complaint is useless, unless the branch that u are going is own by UWM Toyota not franchise... that is wat my father fren told us (x-toyota duno wat wat manager in base in Shah Alam HQ)... retired last year... b4 that he make sure we get our car as promised 2 months waiting period... then any service problem we sound our voice to him... so not much problem when he gave them a ring... haha... sorry to hear that but make sure u take back to UWM Toyota SC... they are much more efficient...
for franchise they will only talk to them and warned them... but UWM Toyota staff they have KPI so in order to get better appraisal they have to work hard... my V Belt sound solved by S.Jaya SC... the belt worn off for small clicking sound when i accelerate slowly... but no sound is visible during hard acceleration...

that is one of the best i can say... not much problem as i been told by my x-customer and frens also... that is owned by UWM Toyota...

I'm now under consideration buy a vios G-spec...
It is 06/07 car... It millage is around 30K...
Cos his daughter was went to Australia study...
So now he want to sell to me is 67K...
But after discuss wit him... he said 64K is the less...
Izit worth to buy it?? Hope all sifu giv me some opinion...

fren 06/07 totally different price coz different yr already... 30k milage is ok for since it is about 3~4 yrs old... i think it is reasonable 64k... but try to lower it down to 60k lo...

It is 06 manufacture car and register 07...
I oso hope it can sell 60K but I think it is hard to get it...
Cos he wan 70K when I asking the price...

Then sifu means 64K worth to buy lo...
thx for your reply...michael9413!!

70k is abit too much. But try to nego to 60-62k will do nice. Anyhow 64k is still acceptable.

i believe most owner here didnt mod much onto thieir ride since VIOS is not a sport car
i lagi not dare to join for gathering coz my car got alot of scratch going for a paint work later (when i got budget )

if still under better send to service center, after warranty still can send to service center just for peace of mind since they more trustable. if u know the bengkel owner very well then u can send to them too. but if got any serious problem better send it back to toyota service center

64k is quite a great deal

yeah... 64k better grab it... others wont wait!!.. u can get full loan for that

my friend get his vios G spec year 03 for 52k
mileage around 78k

Haha just back from whacking the highway. Seeing i just completed the 1st service, drove to NKVE after work to see what is the top speed i can get. Just a slight pedal and i myself didnt realise i hitting 120kmh

Overall the best top speed i can obtained is 180kmh on straight, although the car was quite nervous, perhaps some thicker anti roll bars and front strut bars may be needed in future.

Ended up my car fuel gauge blinks by 500km and filled her up. Clocked 13.8km/l for this tank, using Caltex ron95 which is not bad. Now trying petronas ron95 which i not putting much expectations.

Let my car go bankai once a while before petrol prices rises up!

tat is normal for new car...
i myself also touch the pedal lightly and it hit up 120kmh and plan to go further...
mine can only get around 400++km once the last bar blink...
i can only get this around 70% highway...
plan to ask toyota to do something wit it...
my car have been running ron97 shell but once introduce the new 95, then i keep using 95...
wat u guys get for town driving mileage?
