guys, i just got my vios for about a month...at about 800km++
i noticed that whenever i go downhill, when i let go of the accelerator and not stepping on my brakes... i will notice that my gear downshifts... is it normal?

hmmm ok, 1 more thing. when i start my engine in the morning i get high RPM, around 1.5k or 1.8k...then when the engine warmed up i park aside and get about 900... that normal?

i also read the manual about the ODOMETER switch, tried to check the L/KM but cant get it to work, can only cycle between ODO, TRIP(A), TRIP(B) and Lights...... hmmmm weird...

how much do u guys usually get for a full tank? i get about 450km 50% highway 50% city driving style... maybe the engine hasnt completely been knocked in yet...

forgot to add... is it true that u should turn the ignition key to ON for a few secs before cranking the engine? i heard this from a friend who said that the SA told him that... but nothing like that was mentioned in the manual...

Just went for my first service. There is a problem with my car. During cold start, when I'm reversing the car or driving it out from my house, when I press my brakes I can hear the noise..like dragging noise. This stops after the engine is warmed up.

Told the sc during my service and it still persists after. Any ideas? Gonna send it back to the SC again but would appreciate it if some feedback could be given.

hey guys, i have complained about my car...vios G about 2 months old before about my brakes previously.

now i have another weird noise coming from my brakes when i press my brakes and the moment i let go (esp when stuck in a jam) i can hear a noise "TICK" .... it only happens when im stuck in a jam or in slow moving traffic.. and it happens only when i let go of the brake pedal...

i have made another appointment to send the car in on friday. i am so sick of brake problems for my car. a few times already.....

anyone has any idea what problem could this be?

bob whats ur budget? didnt the SA give u a voucher for tinting when u got ur car?

kenji, why 5-10 more?

just sent my car to SC earlier...
pumped full tank yday and to my surprise this morning wake up to 1 bar being gone???? only 30km++ after my full tank. no jam nothing!!
spoke to SC and they told me the carpet sometimes may cause this..im using rubber carpet bought from tesco..

anyone got any idea where can i get those TRD type of carpet? dditn bother asking SC cos surely they quote me super expensive...

i usually have 420-450km for a full tank. refuel about 70. im using ron95 too. i have a heavy foot. accelerate and always stuck in jam. i think its pretty good FC for me?

theres 1 thing though...i pumped full tank 2 days ago, drove 30km and 1 bar dropped. i feel weirded out. told the SC he said maybe i didnt pump full...impossible! pumped full and i make sure i get it to full tank cos when the pump trigger bounced, i pumped manually somemore...

about the carpet yes, he said its heavy, thats for the first, and secondly, our vios has this sensor at the bottom of the acceleration pedal. if its too thick/covers the bottom of the pedal...it'll affect FC
thats what he told me...

the manual says it runs on ron92. im guessing ron95 should be alright. \

guys, what sort of noise and under what circumstances will a bearing start making noise?

hey, mind sharing how often u r stuck in jam?
im stuck in jam nearly everyday. work in kl. monday to friday. i got heavy foot somemore.. 1 full tank can last about 420km only. how much is ur mileage?

guys, just gathering opinions..
what do u guys do while the engine is COLD on start? leave it to warm up before u drive it?
or drive it slowly until it goes off then start revving it?

also, about the cranking part, do u guys crank the engine once u get in the car or wait until the airbag sign goes off before u start cranking?

i have the dashboard noise, mine is a 2011 G spec. Its only 5 months old. Very very obvious when going through uneven roads. Just live with it lah. turn on ur radio to cover that noise. As far as i know, the interior is clip based. meaning if u keep opening + closing it, it'll get loose overtime. This is what the technician told me in toyota.

hey guys, my vios is nearly 1 year old this october... today when i lock my car in the car park as usual at the office basement car park...my alarm rang 7-12 times after the usual 2 beep...

any idea whats wrong? my next 20k km service is about 4k away.....sigh

but i checked all my doors, they are all locked tightly??

i left no electronics in the car....

i have no idea how u guys manage to hit above 420km on a full tank ron95...

my best was only 450km, with 30% highway, 30 % town and 30% traffic jam...

i tried going to melaka to and forth in the same day,using about 3/4 of a tank, thats about 80% highway and 20% city.. still achieve only about 450km... how did u guys manage to go so high?

my car is about 1 year old.. 17k km reading on odometer.. using semi-synthetic engine oil from toyota.

stock G spec. only added a spoiler.
