QUOTE(zumaidi @ Apr 14 2014, 10:29 PM) Have you checked out Honda City? 5 years warranty VSC Hill assist 8 speakers 6 airbags Cruise control Phone control on steering 3 power sockets 2 USB drives Rear aircond Bigger rear passenger space Arm rest Gear and handbrake position just like new Altis ..... ..... But then the above is for the highest spec. I have check it out. But if compared to vios, i prefer vios. But when comparing 1.8 version, i prefer civic. Hmm maybe next car. Not now. S & S+ seems like many features they take out from the car. City E specs just nice as Vios E.

QUOTE(mohdfauziahmad @ Apr 14 2014, 05:48 PM) Finally end up with booking vios E spec. Yesterday survey fiesta. Discount 6k on 2013 model, 3k for 2014 model. Another model like attrage, almera just survey at the web. Quite satisfied with my own decision. Since not afford to buy high end spec, then buy a medium level as my first car. Lets pray my vios no major and minor problem. Hehe Any others freebies the SA provided ? And how long can receive the car ?

Got mine recently, and it's took 1 and a half month to arrive, RM3k rebate mentioned earlier. As for free gift, they only give me boot tray, road tax sticker and umbrella. Road Tax & tinted glass voucher has converted to cash so i can discount further

I believe the knocking sound we experience is similar to this: https://www.facebook.com/ToyotaMalaysia/pos...1?stream_ref=10For my case, I had just complained to the SA during my first service last week. But the problem could not be replicated during a short test drive with the SA - I just discovered now that the bumps near the Service Center (which is in an industrial area) were wider and smoother, hence no knocking were heard when going over the bumps. The SA also said they found nothing wrong with the car suspension or absorber during the service and inspection. But the problem still persists now whenever I drive over bumps. So I wrote an email to 'customersupport@toyota.com.my' that same day to voice my frustration about the knocking sound. Surprise, surprise - a few days later, the Frontline Executive from the same SC called me up to fix an appointment just to diagnose the problem with their 'most experienced' technician. I have been driving around the SC and identified several 'suitable' bumps in a housing estate nearby that are narrower and able to reproduce the knocking sound. Will update here after the troubleshooting appointment next week . I hope UMW is not hiding something they know just to save cost even though they keep on assuring me not to worry and that they will replace any defective parts if found. Let's wait and see.

Thanks for the updates. I've been following the particular knocking sound issues till the day i got my car which few days ago. Surprisingly i didnt hear any knocking sounds when over the road bumps, not sure i'm the lucky one OR they notice the issues, fix and only deliver for the new batch.

If I remember correctly, there was no knocking sound when I first got the car. It's something that appeared over time. And not all types bumps will produce the knocking sound. Hopefully yours is from a newer batch that had been rectified.
