for TRD spec, i feel that white color body with bronze color rims look very nice, now they have this white pearl cs color available for TRD spec if not mistaken, not the normal solid white color.

Morning people ~ my Vios 09' starts to have rattling sounds especially when the road is not even...... The sounds come from the driver's side dashboard. It's like a plastic rubbing against another plastic ~ SC can solve the problem right?

Is there a common issue among most Vios that there is rattling noise coming from the front dashboard (front seat passenger that side) when the vehicle moving through un-even road?

does anyone face this problem before? how did you guys solve it?

Thanks. smile.gif

After comparing few car and test drive. Shortlisted Vios and Mazda 2. But due to the trade in value for my existing car, I choose Vios.

This is my 1st time driving Japanese Car (I am Korea car supporter) and hope Japanese car will not let me down.

for economical stick to stock 185/55/15 (beware: rare dimension)

for better ride + better looks go for 195/50/15.

and the best choice of brand? Michelin PS3 ftw icon_rolleyes.gif

i think i am also having the same problem like few of u guys..

got rattling noise coming from dashboard..sometimes from driver side..sometimes from the other side..if i want to bring to SC, what should i tell them??need few words..they usually do not notice this if it is not common problem.
*
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.

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?

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

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...

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?

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  rclxms.gif

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?

I feel that G limited bodykit is nice. It makes the car looks slightly bigger in size comparing to other specs.

TRD spec bodykit nice too, it looks slimmer, just that the rear spoiler is a little bit tall.

For interior, I like the TRD spec's black leather, it is easier to maintain compare to beige color leather interior of G Limited.

How nice if can get combination of G limited bodykit + TRD spec's interior and the TRD gold colored rims. biggrin.gif

so is the source coming from the passenger side, behind the drawer?
*
i think it is underneath the drawer, something like plastic component is knocking and vibrating whenever the car moves through uneven road, thus causing the rattling noise to come out. I read somewhere before got people mentioned that the noise probably coming from the side passenger airbag cover.

I sit my friend's J spec Vios before and my friend never encountered this rattling noise from that area, maybe due to J spec does not have side passenger air bag.

hi guys, I saw on the Toyota official site that there are cabin sensor and tilt sensor on Vios.

Any idea what are these two sensors? how they usually work? Thanks.
