Haha...actually it's kind of the same. When I walked in they also bo chup. The sri Hartamas one was the worse. None of the SA was there, all went out yum char. And becoz the boss came back they oso hurriedly came back to serve. When we comment about the car engine sound vs Honda, the SA told me 'then u go buy Honda'. What kind of f service is that? Don't ever go to thr Sri Hartamas one ppl. Want to test drive cars also need to 'booking' coz sales ppl all go out snake already

Added on May 18, 2012, 11:34 amOh by the way kenji, did u buy the vios in the end??

Awesome. So how is ur vios so far?

does anyone feel dizzy when driving the vios alone, or sitting at the passenger at the back of the car?

i find that the vios bumps a lot , kind of quite a lot of body roll. it gives me quite a head spin everytime i drive the car

haha..ok

i didn't feel dizzy when driving the honda, and my friends who came to test drive with me also said it's stable.

when i test drive the vios, pening nyaaaa. and my friends at the behind all feel like wanna vomit. hahaha

that's why i ask.. (not bashing toyota)

kenji, adding a few bars where, and how?

i was discussing this with my family, and i get the feeling that they think im ridiculous for saying that i get dizzy when driving the vios. i called the agent previously to ask about this and all i get is 'i sell sooooooo many vios 1st time i hear this. i NEVER hear this. toyota sells so many cars..u think if dizzy ppl will buy meh?'

im just saying how i feel. its not like i purposely made this up. 

kenji, may i know which year of vios are u driving? Could it be the make of the car i.e. this new batch is more floaty etc

i think rattling noise from dashboard is a common problem for Vios. The service center should know about this, normally what they did is they will put some insulation in the dashboard to reduce the rattling noise as part of the solution.

don't think i can comment on that since i only tried Goodyear/Falken/Michelin 

when i was researching for my tires replacement, RE002 turned up good as well, but those are really some expensive donuts.
was able to get my PS3's at 280/pc.

That was what i am thinking too. Any sport rim recommendation and price ? I found Enkei RPF1 quite nice but a bit pricey. Selling RM1100 in Penang while i can get around RM650-700 (mudah price) in Selangor.

I was quoted 275 for PS3 195/55/15. Maybe, will look at CC5 for consideration...
RE002 hundred buck more expensive.. that will turn up like 2k to upgrade rims and tyres for vios 

Not original. It is either Thailand or Taiwan Enkei. Orifinal one 3k+.

Isnt that proton rims bro? How can u use proton rims on a Toyota wor... i think Vios ori rims should be better quality.

If u like Advanti rims, u might take a look at their new range of lightweight rims using MAT tech. Its using same tech as ENKEI's.

i was quoted 280/pc for 195/55/r15, inclusion of alignment/balancing.
Was told out of stock when i got there (even though i sms-ed to confirm before arriving )

settled with PS3 195/50/r15 instead of an XM2, at 270/pc. (nicer with less thick sidewalls, expected bumpier ride, but still acceptable to me )
Changed the rims from them too... (with no other miscellaneous charges )

Nice price and service...definitely recommended. (there was one guy not that friendly though , i just find another guy ignoring him )

best tires i had before. Grip in Dry + Wet is marvelous.

durability is definitely stock better. But do bear in mind they are VERY heavy as well, so it is expected.

Almost any decent rims at the same size will be at least 20% lighter than stock. Imagine the $$$ u can save with that.

P.S: Oh and one more thing, a good set of tires are suppose to protect your rims better. So its another consideration there.

Yesterday just back from Bridgestone tyre shop. Look at RE002, the sidewall is harder than PS3. Understood, it's performance tyre.
My sister drive vios G using RE080, i am quite accepateble that level of noise.

but not sure about RE002. any comment?

yesterday i drove pass the the water at heavy rain, the grip isn;t that good. hope PS3 solve this issue at wet.

Fully agreed with ur statement above....today am just change C drive2 195/55/15 + lighter sport rim, i can feel the 'big' different after the changes....

Ya....after kena poison kaw kaw from the shop...but actuali after they fix the 195/55/15 on stock rim, it's look cacat abit & not 'handsome' then the tauke oso say stock rim is much more heavier which they let me  lift up between stock & aftermarket rim...well, there was difference in term of pick up, handling & stability...

the original tyres for Vios G spec (Bridgestone Potenza) is not the REXXX series right?

if we change rims from stock to aftermarket rims, will there be any impact to the speedometer? the km/h will it be not accurate?

mind to post some pics of your new rims to let us see? 

Finally my new vios car in my hands. After take the car, straight away go to michelin shop change rim and tyre.
Put on a chrome rim and PS3 196/55/15 tyre.

Handling and cornering is superb 

But i noticed a little noise inside the car, sounds like "wo... wo... wo..". Seems like cause by the tyre.. It's normal???
I even sit behind and asked my sister to drive and the same sound also..
I experienced this before at my old proton car, the bearing issue but make no sense because this is a new car woh..

can someone advice?

just sent for bodykit and tinting.. after that one shot i post the picture..

bro, 280 x 4 (PS3) + 1150 (rims) - 540 (t/in) = 1730.

so, the noise is normal?

Em... I'm not sure bro...but definitely is heavier than my current rim, ya is the 12 spoke G spec rims...below is my humble rim...
