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.

Isnt it surprising that safety is rarely a factor to consider? Typical Malaysian attitude which is why companies like Toyota thrive here offering crap cars with safety standards that don't exceed even Proton and yet come out best sellers.
