speakers can always add on, btw did you check the sound quality of the original speakers? you might end up replacing the speakers, even on the S spec.
as for the brakes, the S spec brakes will definitely be better, but depending on how you use the car, the G spec brakes might be sufficient, and when the ori pads wears out, you can always drop in better brake pads.
i think the standard audio player of the yaris is difficult to change, so do check the difference between the unit in both spec.

yup... totally agree on your opinion.. smile.gif
the audio player wise, i check & found they fidder only by the display color, function wise are identical...
Really? which newspaper, i would like to get 1 copy so i can use it to bargain with the sales agent again... coz last Saturday when i talked to him he didn't mention this 5 years free service & maintenance at all!!!

wow, if 4k discount + 5 years free service & maintenance, it is a pretty no brainer already. 5 years just fill petrol and change tire, then drive.
do check the service offer properly, see if it covers all the fluids, filters, plugs, belting, etc
btw, i've seen a few yaris on the road in penang.

Just reconfrimed with the sale agent... it is EITHER type option:

1) RM4000 direct discount
2) 5 Years Free Maintenance (no sure what included yet...)
3) 1.88% Interest Rate for loan (current they offer 2.9%)

You can only choose EITHER one of it ONLY... sad.gif

still better than nothing. smile.gif

Choose 1 or 2 if u pay cash. see which one save more, but normally choose 2, i suppose.

Choose 3 if u loan 90%.

yup, i agree...
i feel option 2 is kinda of risky... as there is no black & white stating what kind of service or what kind of spare parts are covered...

you can get a list of items covered under the free service campaign.
make sure the labour charges are covered.
assuming the service interval is every 10000km (yup, heard that even the vios has been changed to that, wonder why honda still sticks to every 5000km), so it should be twice a year, making a total of 11 services (including the first 1000km service).
If the values is 7200, it works out to be around 650 per service.
Seems like it should cover everything.
If you plan to keep the car for about 5 years, this seems like a good deal as you'll have full UMW service record which is good when you plan to sell the car later on.

dunno about you guys, but for me free service (include labour, lubricant and parts) is a very good deal.

For honda, free service doesn't mean you have to stick to the schedule, you can sent in your car as many time as you want to rectify other minor things at no cost at all.

Do check if this apply for Toyota also.

as their AD stated, worth Rm 7,200. Not a small amount (at least to me tongue.gif) for 5 years or 100,000 km free service, include part & labour wink.gif
