spec wise - vios is entry level for toyota...that's why toyota doesn't seems care to 'upgrade' the new engine, just use the old one then just put new face on it.

price wise - it is ONLY in malaysia that the vios price is high, basically u take loan, half of it just to pay the excise duties & taxes

in conclusion, price-to-spec ratio for vios is quite bad if based on facts & figures.

if based on perception & brand....vios is a go-to-car

you pay RM90k (loan) for the specs max value/priced at RM40k....go figure 'nuff said
