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 .

yup, the keyword == proven technology

being it 20 or 50 years, proven means reliability 

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

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..

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

ESP are for sissy who know nuts about handling

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

I am not sure how anyone could have such opinion but I've test driven the Vios, it's handling is bad, NVH is worse than many, pick up is terrible and performance is bad
I know vios is not a bad car but as you can see, Iphone 5c and 5s is not bad either but while other keep on improving and LISTEN to consumers but Vios keeps standing on the same ground for YEARS, and that sucks

Agreed. Nothing much wrong with 4 speed.

Except that if u are those "racer" that likes to speed, then it will eat more petrol compared to 5 gear or more gear box.
But then again, how fast can u drive?
For example, my Altis has 7 speed but i doubt its running at 6th gear when im driving at 140kmh

is it? so all subaru and lambo not powerfull la?? tebo is extra added option to give power la. if vios get tebo then how much the cost then? 100K??

nice sarcastic 

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.

Apart for fuel consumption, I dont see why I want Vios and so regret to get this car.

I am driving it since last year May and now there are noise coming out.

Prior to vios, I am driving Getz and Matrix which do not gv me problem for 5 years.

Yeah and my mother is the Queen of England.

Haha, so sarcastic lerr... 

and i bet you spend RM0 to maintain it right?

wa, a flying toyota up here !!!

say, if i just awnt a small family acr, Vios would be a good choice right? i dont understand engines, but only need a decent (jimat minyak and easy to drive and reliable car) car to move around short distance. so Vios is 'ok' right?

Now this is Super Sarcastic! Why do you hate Vios so much? Yes, it's overpriced a bit, the handling is not so good and lack modern safety features, but to be fair it does quite well as a point A to B car and and very reliable too.
