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.

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.

Don't think there'll be any significant difference. Worst u may end up puncture in the middle of nowhere...WITHOUT spare tyre

Yes there is O/D. Maybe for the old model only. New one, I dunno.

Both of you can try viosclub malaysia forum. Think there're better chance that you get it there.

Of cos he's a vios owner la, he's the thread starter
U accidently push the O/D button is it? The button is on gear knob, the smaller one.
Normal condition, the O/D should not flash. It over drive if i'm not mistaken.

using C drive 195/50/15...seems quite comfy.
U can add Sime tyre to the list that can be thrown away

Last time 97, can run till 450km until light up in 100% city + jam condition.
Somehow, is it just me or the 95 is not fuel efficient. For the last couple of times, cant even get 400km. Initially can get to 450km without any problem. Same driving condition & variables.

Yeah, their service really sucks. i did wrote my experience few page back la. Lazy wanna re write

I can say for old model that it can easily reached 450km/tank depending on variables

anyone know how much is front bushing cost?

There's a sign of cracking on the belt & some screeching sound in the morning or when u accelerate.
It cost less than RM100 in normal workshop. If not mistaken there's 2 similar belts.

aren't 05 model using H3?

the facelift model 06 using 9006.

1. As far as I know, it wont void all, but if ever there's a claim on parts, they'll have a ready made excuses to say its faulty due to service outside.
2. Thought according to their handbook, only required 10k service after 1st 3 services?

what the SC do to the the belt sound on cold start? I went to my mechanic, they applied some kind of grease/lube then no sound but it'll return after some time.
Went to another, he said that old belt will have those sound due to some cracks on the belt. Change it but after 8 mths the sound came back Is the lifespan of those belt so short?

the absorber sound i experienced is same sound and also occur when going thru hump & intermittently only BUT only when raining that the sound exist. Try to find whats the cos, but seems difficult to find out when it just occur intermittently.
