Thanks for ur replies.

So vios2002, u okay with the ride comfort? i expecting to be stiffer than usual right?

Well should have come to that previous gathering too bad with my work. Anyhow to the next TT ya

yes can say comfort range is just abit stiff like 30% increase... but if u try to compress the shock .. the stiff level is about 100% stiffer some gal dint complain much of the stiff ride.

if you compare to other brand u will feel bounce abit this is due to the shock is using twin tube and only able to respond the big big things bit those small small things dont have much respond to the shock...

next TT, dont know yet... if u wan choose some road that can simulate our day to day use ... to feel the comfort level and the handling respond... or u wand we can have a road trip ... example subang to cheras on highway and then some town road ... if u wan some hard corner attack ... got place but do you dare to ride?

Road trip with our vios! How's that

Maybe we can start with a trip to starbucks genting

Just change my battery for 2 days, was very scare the very first place becos change from outside not from toyota sc, worry becos it might not start or timing run out. In fact it can start but the timing was out for a short distance n back to normal after few kilometer drive, timing out becos cant go high rev n very low rev ( 450+ rpm ) when the car is station n the whole sterling is shacking but luckily the timing was back to normal. My battery is 26 months old, worry it might con out anytime so change it toghther with new sets of PS3 195/55/15 tyres. Question is , can anyone related their incident about their car battery change.

i think forte a lot better...

In what sense? If u have nothing good to post, seriously get lost.

firstil..vios trd 90+..it almost same with 2.0 forte..yes 2.0 not 1.5..

What are u trying to proof here, cant u read simple english this is about vios thread

If u comparing pricing, i have to admit the naza forte 2.0 brings the best value compared the vios TRD. For additional 1-2k can get u a 2.0 C segment car with a world class engine while the vios is a tried n tested old 1.5cc engine.

Yet again, that on paper. Check around the naza forte thread here n u can see ppl crying in agony waiting for the 2.0cc due to low supply. I can see the majority now is 1.6cc which still IMHO a better value than buying the vios/city.

Naza's reputation in aftermarket sales remains a question due to lots of ppl having a bad experience when sending their cars to naza for servicing. I do heard UMWT servicing is bad but from my experience with my vios, i have good experience with my aftermarket by UMWT. Maybe there a few forte owners are lucky their car is in good shape n well serviced by Naza.

Yet again, i still prefer the vios over the forte as i actually prefer the vios more. The vios edge the forte over reliablity, fuel economy and acceleration but will loses out in handling but that can be fixed with after market suspensions. The vios resale value is undeniablity good but the forte is questionable.

Also, that just me, i like the white vios with bodykit more than a car which named "Killed in Accident". Well, that just me.

So this thread serves for vios owners to discuss issues on their cars, and if u want to point out other cars are better, this is not the correct place to be.

+1 if you have nothing to say please get off... thanks... here is for Vios discussion...

we agree tat Forte is cheap and looks good but the reliability is still a big question mark of course the others point that bro Travis said also... if u can survey properly a Vios only cost you about RM70k (After convert from Aus Dollar) including their tax and stuff but ours is RM90k with 30k tax how about others RM60k for cars??? there is another RM20k for UMW or their ppl pocket $$$, FYI some middle east selling Vios at RM50k only... and of course our Waja or Personal at RM40k only (Full Spec)

dickong, i'm not understand what you means "timing run out", can explain more

i had changed my car battery last month at outside shop, not Toyota SC. My car was off when changing time, the man quickly replaced it and said it was no problem if took out the old battery for a short time (less than 20 second). After replaced it, can start my car and did not have any problem wor like you have mentioned above sterling is shacking & cant go high rev....


at first i also feel scare like you, doubt the car immobilized when take out the battery in engine off condition.

The sterling shacking becos the rpm was at 450+ n the whole car cant go above 80kmh becos cant go high rev even but luckily after a few km drive its back to normal. I think most probably the whole timing was restart if i am not mistaken. I mean the ECU system restart

i think gov give lower tax for cars distibuted by naza, same like peugeot car, that why their selling price so attractive.

went to SC for my 1k service... make some complaint and warranty claimed... car ready about 5hrs later... service is so so... overall is so so...

where u serviced ur car?

Hi all new vios facelift buyer, can share with us what price u get and also the interest rate as well?

change to TITAN sure no regrets (i'm using TITAN in my wira), u get what u pay... summore with michelin PS3, but u know right TITAN also hv normal abs n spring for OEM replacement? most their luxury car customers use that, its serviceable n comfort with a bit lowered compare standard..

actually, potenza re080 is not that grip tyre, just ok with less noise tyre..

the price is listed in the Toyota website, that is fix price, unless u got toyota discount & free things and the SA offer some discount, u should go ask few dealers.
not sure about the interest rate now, go call & ask banks lo..easy & accurate.

the new SC at balakong... very huge...

i see u guys discuss about ps3 15" so i wondering.. erm
is tat much different wit 15" n 16" using same ps3 tire? other than ps3 which tire will do comfort+performance?

i go for some shop asking price after trade in my ori rim+tire they say still nid to pay around 1.5k if im gonna take 16"
erm... any idea or recommend?
