Har?? you call those good power? good handling? make me think you never experience real horsepower and go kart type handling car....

For me the Vios is overpriced, lacking behind in terms of features and safety....cut cost here and there and the material use is just getting more plastic day by day. Feels like driving a car made out of recycled material.

Only buy Vios if:
You plan to honeymoon at the moon (proven)
You use to go pasar buy vege, meat and groceries (every uncle, aunty say its good)
Don't mind getting an*l by UMW over pricing product
Want to get drool and praises from uncle and aunty (because Toyota mah)
Want to trick yourself into thinking you drive a supercar (the TRD emblem mah add 100hp straight)
Want to impress underage girls, LALAs or bimbos who don't know about cars...they think you driving supercar with 4 doors

Vios quality is very bad even from factory. It's totally overrated and people still think their Vios is like the old days Corolla SE, SEG without even realizing they get cut alive piece by piece. All blinded by what? BRAND name....

I work at Toyota service center previously so I know the in and out of a Vios more than the owners themselves since I have access to advance manual and practically work on them 8 to 10 Vios per day. but I choose not to buy a Vios. No need to ask me why.

Bashing aside I find the thread title is misleading and not clear at all. Majority call the car Vios but which model P42 or P93 because they are different even with the same engine (p93 intake manifold and exhaust) is slightly upgraded from p42). The P42 has better quality than 93 because if you strip the whole car to bare metal you will see the difference. The 1nz is a good engine but not perfect that's why there's a slight improvement Done to it when they put it in the 93. Actually Toyota can put in a newer gearbox but that will bump the price further up and kill its competitiveness that's why Toyota still using the 4AT so Toyota is in a go left or go right situation. The Vios should be view as a entry level car just like other entry level car. The QC bound to have hit or miss since its a mass produced engine and same goes to assembly. That's why I have to do 2 x PDI before car deliver to customer but some problems will still happen.

Comparing the P42 and P93. 42 is more worth getting than 93. If I wanted to get a Vios I would look for a 42 instead then find a set of intake from the 93 and stuff it in.

Sky want to debate then debate properly so your car next time got problem dont send to any technician, fix yourself since all of the technician knows nothing. Driving feel you say? I test drove Vios, Camry, Altis, fortuner, Estima, wish, avanza, innova, hilu. on a daily basis. To know how a car behave does not need 12 years to get familiar with it.

Allenutra is correct. My colleague also follow the computer system when quote customer price. Labour charges is also clearly stated even job timing for each job is given a time frame.
