finally got to test drive the vios trd today, my personal opinion is engine noise is very loud and engine have to rev hard to get a decent acceleration (compared to old vios).. suspension also very bumpy ride... the only good thing is cornering is more stable...now i know why they reluctant to let people test drive, even puchong showroom only allow test drive at 9am-11am on WEEKDAYS ONLY...i strongly suggest to test drive the car before deciding to buy! btw anyone also test drive the car and whats ur opinion?

Wished I read your post earlier. The SA there are quite LCLY. Went there when they first launched, they told me can't test drive (TD) yet, he will call me when available to TD.

Went 2nd time around 4.30pm a week later, and and another SA said can't TD cos too late. I figured since they were closing at 5pm could be the reason.

Went 3rd time today at 2.30pm and another SA said can't TD cos too late. I was like WTF. Then when asked further only they said can TD 9-11am.

Could have just said so and told everyone who asked. There was no notice or whatsoever. For sure I will not go back there to buy anything from that dealer.  mad.gif

its rather fishy why they have so many restrictions and conditions to test drive, and even more fishy they didnt have a display unit for J spec, e spec... i urge u insist a test drive before committing to buy the car... take note on the engine noise when driving normally and the suspension when going over uneven roads.. cheers! i must admit i fall in love with the exterior looks but the ride really disappoints me >.< let us know how u feel after test drive ya =)

Got my white vios 3rd gen 2013 recently, j spec, actually opted for honda city but cancelled because the color cannot change to white from black...

no regrets..enjoying every bit of it so far, the ride is much softer than trd and the engine more quiet than test drive unit.... they shud have used j spec as test drive car man

bila mau yumcha for 3rd gen vios owners?
