None. Not even Vios.

This sub par Toyota is not even imported... Is make in boleh land.

So is Vios. Isn't that CKD term in Malaysia applies to all vehicle assembled in ASEAN?

Toyota Vios.
The default car to buy if you know nothing about cars.

Safety 1st...live's not cheap on the road nowadays...

I don think got any car within 80k can beat

Reliable proven engine
GOOD FC
Good space with big boot
Cheap maintenance
Good resales value


About handling, not everyone buying a car take 70kmh sharp corner, nowaday living in malaysia isnt easy, what normally human need is

Reliable again, good fc again, cheaper maintenancr again , good resales value again

Because those is hard earn money, that why ppl care about resales value.

Vios is assembled in Shah Alam, Fiesta in Rayang, Thailand.

CKD = assembled in M'sia
CBU = imported whole requiring AP

this is the most ignorant and ridiculous comment ever.

vios is the default car for ah beng ah seng wannabes. ...

Another ignoramus who thinks good handling is only good for taking corners at high speed.

I guess safety not important to you too since you keep harping on that list, where "safety" is not in it.

Damnnn bashing vios only already reach 10 pages

Glamourous dugongg

U take prius c, drive 150kmh, go straght bang a lorry, if u no die, I pay u whole life money

U wan safety also need to see ur financial able to feed right? 80k vs 99k is quite big different bro

And safety isnt everything bro, pls go see youtube alot of video, how many ppl are lucky to live even with serious accident, how many of them die in those full of safety feature with 800-900k price tag car?

If ppl got money sure wont go for vios lo, if I can afford 99k car, I wont looking at 80k car le bro

The new vios assembled in Malaysia?
I remember the dugong vios used to assembled by Perodua but they can't do it well. End up UMW import everything from Thailand with extra 2k shipping charge per vehicle.

Does Innova from Indonesia need AP? I dun reckon so. Correct me if I'm wrong.


To my understanding, only vehicle built outside of ASEAN countries require AP to come into Malaysia.
Ford? Their production just can't cope with the demand around.

I not sure Vios can consider CKD bcoz CKD mean part is import and assemble in Malaysia. Last time Thailand got flood but Toyota is not effected. Meaning the part is locally make, no?


Yes! new vios is assemble in Malaysia. U think is cheaper too transport 1000 part everymonth to Malaysia or localize it? P2 never assemble vios. UMW is the one do it.

outdated means old cheap technology milking you ah beng ah sengs.....

perfect? perfect for toyota.... give you old cheap junk, paste a toyota symbol and you all buy without thinking.

eh prius also stupid toyota junk la....

but vios cheap and stupid toyota junk to cheat ah beng ah seng

Yup when ever the is related to vios stuff definitely get attack by many bashes!!!!!!!

Ok i not here to defense or praising either! I just reply according the topic " why vios no good " and below is my FACT STORY !!!!!!! Real owner and not like those rich imagination bashes simply whack here without the fact which i think isn't a healthy way at all. OK OK OK before u condemning VIOS please share with me u thought as the following question before to firing VIOS further.

1) In business line do u think sales figure report is a joke ? The figure is determine u business condition and also help the business continues improvement plan. So do you think whoever buy vios is so call ah peng or idiot? whoever brought other than vios is the son of god car ? bashes out there pls show me the sales figure yours son of god car and where is the ranking above vois ???? Again figures don't lie only mouth !!!!!!


******Fact story*******

VIOS J Spec Owner 2009 mileage 110000KM *****
Honda City E spec owner 2013 mileage 2700km *****

-Major problem change lower arm only during warranty prior only (lucky)

Pros
1) Fuel saver King among B segment car
2) Cheaper maintenance vs city
3) comfort city ride vs City
4) Very responsive and good pickup vs City

Cons
1) Noisy engine sound above 100km
2) Cabin sound proof is bad vs City
3) handling above 100km is not stable and steering feel loose vs City
4) Cornering can't beat City
5) No ESP system !!!!

All above come out from my sincere review so there is nothing wrong what car u buy because at the end is yours money which car is mostly fitted u critical

In conclusion, vios is nothing to shout about is a basic reliable car if u aim for FC and responsive pickup with cheap maintenance don't missed to test drive this car in u shopping list ya.

talking about tax structure between CKD and CBU makes me remembered a thing about last year toyota camry where CKD version is much more expensive than CBU
so who decide the pricing???government or company management???

and talking about toyota malaysia expensive price..do read this article

New Vios early batches will be CBU from Thai I reckon, after that will be CKD as well. Never knew Vios was ever assembled by Perodua.....I know Avanza was assembled by Perodua la, the facelift I'm not sure. On that note, my source from UMW told me the new Vios already have 5,000 pre-bookings before the launch next month. Power of brand yo!

According the wikipedia



As for the AP, I'm not sure. I know Ford import their Fiestas a few times a year, everytime they run out you'll have to wait for them to restock, SA told me due to AP issue, dunno singalingam me or what. As far as I know the still can meet demand for the Fiesta and Focus, it's only the Ranger they have problem with.

with this expression on their face.

AFAIK some parts are imported some parts are made locally. Excise duty is calculated on how many percent of the car is made locally.
