I bought RM180 from spare part shop. The owner's told me some other place selling cheaper by using local parts with the sticker written made from Thailand. Please be careful when you purchase Toyota parts.

This price is reasonable for major service under Toyota care. Honda City can easily cost RM1,300 with the same service done.

Hi guys, I m still considering whether to get a Vios auto J or Honda City S+. I did both test drive 1x each. The Vios test-drive was disappointed by the sound of the car underbelly hitting a little road bump. There were 3 people inside the car, SA included. I was driving slowly when approaching the bump. Other than that, the car feels heavy but stable. Is there anything that I should take note of when I do the 2nd test drive? Thanks in advance.

For your safety concerned, you should test drive both Toyota Vios G Spec and Honda City V Spec. In terms of maintenance cost, Honda is expensive but in terms of resale value, Toyota is the winner. At the end of the day, you going to decide whether opt for comfort drive (Toyota) or stiff handling drive (Honda).

Hi RcykZai,
      Although I do not recommend you go for this thin, light and safety minus B-Segment Japanese car. If wanna choose better B-segment Japanese car, go for city better. Of course, there are a lot of better B-segment Japanese / Conti cars available in the market other than VIOS & City. VIOS and City feel plasticky to me...

Go for HRV then. Good visibility and riding quality proven.

Yeap bros, i understand and i agree with your recommendations. I like honda city and mazda 2 but this is my first car, and my parents, specially my dad, insist me to get a vios, reason, better resale value and lower maintenance cost.

I had no choice, he made the booking for me, and personally i borrowed first down payment from my dad, thats why need to follow his order.  shakehead.gif

But different people have different perspective, for me its pretty decent alrdy, use it for work and it is a new car compared to my 20+ years old Honda CRV, which breaks down monthly constantly and i had to fix it very time costing 500-1k.

My relatives drive vios for plenty of years, and i know that first gen vios is really durable than recent gens.. not sure what happened to the 3rd gen.

Theres no prefect car, i mean other brand car sure got problem too. Most importantly is how we drive and taking care of the car.

Hope it serves me well.

I'm driving Toyota Vios 1st Generation for the past 11 years and so far good durability and save petrol for long run. The only thing that being change is engine mounting, throttle body and fuel filter. All is running perfectly and quiet ride.
