Mine is 1st batch Dugong no remote trunk. So far no problem pulling from driver side or using a key.
Btw, so far I have identified 3 bearings malfunction and noisy. It is 4yrs already and I've just replace one (rear right) costing me rm500 (with labour). I'm thinking the both front would be around 1k if unlucky. WTF my old Toyota 15yrs+ and another one 20yrs also no such problem.

If that the case is the Vios that high maintenance (no longer a Toyota trait)? Cars like MyVi even if every 4yrs bearing change, each around rm150 - Vios bearing cost 3 times more than MyVi.

I'm thinking of downgrading...

T-IV every 20k or 40k
ATF-WS 100k
some forumer here said change already still no different and some said changed already not smooth (for ATF-WS)

for current vios, only can use ATF-WS
old gen vios only T-IV
service booklet written there.

the silver one.. the black one for old vios.. me using black for old vios..

Quiet because:
RM160 for front bearing.
RM590 for rear bearing (Thai; Jap one is RM800+).
RM150 for front absorber.
RM105 for rear absorber.
p/s: All Genuine Toyota parts.

Direct from Toyota genuine spare part stockist.

Asked the SC before to change one rear absorber cost me around RM250.
