Why are so many people bashing vios ?

Some said its a car for ahbeng ahseng , and god spec and many more.

I visited paultan website today reading about the new 2013 vios , when I go to the comment section , so many people complaining the car lack of safety over priced and using the same engine for more than 10 years , isn't Nissan gtr also using same rb26 engine for r32 r33 r34 . And some more complain about the old 4 speed auto gear box.

Hmm I really hope someone can write me a detail explanation of what is going on .

Everyone is rage because toyota employees got 10months bonus.

its a 2003 model with new bodyshell, for a company malaysian support all this year, we deserve respect of better safety, better equipment and better drivetrain.

if the competition can throw 6 airbag and esc, why can malaysian have it? or at least give us the option to have it? for a 2nd world largest car manufacturer toyota should do more for their supporters

and oh the price is a kick to malaysian groin too

Waaaaaaattttt they still give 4 speed autobox? Lolz wat a rip off.

gtr is gtr, vios is vios.. diff league

gtr n a vios? u must be joking hahaha

Vios is not a good car but not a bad car either.. It can fetch u good from point a to point b.. but indeed is a boring car... if u bough a vios i dun think u will buy another vios anymore.

take saga SV la

because the market here treat n price vios like luxury car.

If u want to fly suddenly or overturn turtle, please buy a Vios. Don't say we didn't warn u.

U mean 2013 KIA Rio 4 speed autobox also rip off too ?

Oh u mean a few hundred thousand sport car car use old engine for few generation while 80k car can't ? what a smart comments !

Sounds like u looking for Suprima S lol.

Well businessman are always businessman, making money is more important.
So why do they need those "extra" when what they making now has already getting super good result?

On the good side;
It is basically bullet proof, it been on for millions of km around the world in every situation. If it is not broken, don't fix it. Also people value RV more than anything else, safety is maybe 2nd or 3rd priority.

On the bad side;
It is very dated, boring, price is on the high side, safety is lacking.

One thing I got to give credit to Toyota, their after sales service is best I have experience.

so many basher ?
4 speed gbx toyota known its reliability n perform well with its current engine.. well its FC its good until now..
quality is good, well there would be some lemon but still acceptable
after sales service depend on place.. but mostly is very good..
as for ESP or other safety thing, even without it still they have a very good sales, so why need to bother? (for them la i think)
if we demand those gadget n safety features, we need to show to toyota so they would know..
i use vios from 2008, so far no major problem.. only 1 wheel bearing n 1 pair absorber been replaced..

Can but sorry to say they doing it in the wrong timeline, in the RB26DETT era, how many can complete with the nissan godzilla? i guess only 2jz, and not to say they are advance engine in 90s til the VR38DETT out.

So as a smart consumer, will u buy a same car with diff body? Y not u compare with a same class such as city or same price range like the forte? there is a reason y so many ppl critics badly about the new vios.

yup, the keyword == proven technology

being it 20 or 50 years, proven means reliability

To me, Vios is the one and only best cars selling in Malaysia.
Reason:
realiable
good handling
safety rating good
comfort
NVH the best, even better than a 5 series
cheap to maintain
maybe no need to maintain, Toyota won't spoil one
good pick up
good performance
and finally, good RV. some will buy Toyota cars as an investment. buy RM80K, 2 years later sell RM100K.

So i'm in the same boat as you, why are so many people bashing vios ?
only true car lovers and car experts will love the Vios.

daylight robber la toyota, so mahal. Can get preve tebo what with same range

Correct.
Proven technology

When something is already perfect, there's nothing else to be improved/changed.
Same goes to this Toyota engine and gearbox. Proven good. It's already perfected.

Some may think that cars that always come out with new engine is good.

So why some are complaining that Toyota cars are still using the same old engine and gb?

Why some cars need tebo?
Because the engine is not powerful enough. Hence need tebo.

Toyota engines are powerful. Hence dun need tebo.
get it?
