j and E have drum brakes while G and TRD have disc brakes for rear while
TRD will basically be technically same as G as TRD ver have eyecandy changes only

sorry to hear this bro. but do drive more carefully these days. And do be more aware especially when someone tailgates your car.

I also noticed alot ppl who pimped their ride to sporty look alike cars, likes to speed or show off.
I had experienced one 2013 Vios TRD tail gated closely behind my Vios.. Actually I laughed at his dumb act. He needs to know having spoilers or bodykit on his vios doesnt make his car perform better.

nv actually parked side by side with my G with E or J before. But I agree the pictures do show the size of the brakes are somewhat different.

talking about the Alarm. Any idea the new vios have alarm or beep sound when lock or unlock car?

My salespersn said theres no such thing. but i thought it would be easier to identify if we have forgotten or missed pressing the lock button on the key.

wat the heck. such a dumb reason. Even the current gen honda city have beep sound

Agreed .

Having drove vios G model and city E model, I still felt vios have a better overall interior. While the exterior vios had a 100% change , the city had a 70% change. At glimpse from certain angle, some may have thought the new city was the previous generation city. Though, the overall champion is still the city due to features at its very competitive price.

If you sit on the new city for sometime, you will find a bunch of bad feedbacks too. There are mounting issues inside the car and outside the car, cracking sound when trying to offs the engine. Go see for yourself in the comments in the city forums.

Please be fair to all brands , because toyota and honda are not the only one with issues. even CKD BMW cars have major build issues. Overall, I felt disappointed with all ckd built cars.

Wow! I see you have put in a lot of effort. Do you think I should spend sometime to get it installed too?
since it can be DIY , im tempted to get it too

Saw a new city just now with a light bulb/night light on the rear right side didn't turn on.
I doubt on the quality now seeing the price is so competitive and taking the fact we are in bolehland

The arrival date maybe true or even faster cause most of the time car sellers will push it for hari raya demand.
Go speak with ur toyota salesperson , tell him all the issues you know about and make him sign an agreement that such issue won't appear. They cant say NO to the fact that many people had gave the proof of the Noise.

looking for korean? IMO I wont buy Korean cars in my life, gave up with them already especially if you are concern about resale values. If you meet any Korean SA they most probably will say that the korean car sales is increasing so no worries on resale value. Sold a Korean car and lost alot , even more than local Malaysian cars. Few of my colleagues also lost alot selling their Korean cars. Cant beat the fact that demand and parts are still low in number.

I believe Toyota will have the issue fixed in the new batch. If they do not, they could be in trouble for selling defective cars to the buyers and ruin their reputation even more if the complains reaches the Product Quality organizations.
They would not want to ruin their sales target too.

So how do we know the car you get is from a new batch or issues have been solve? No way, unless the Salesperson tells you, but even if he tells you..you can't beleive 100% in his words. The only way to guarantee what you get is to write a BLACK & WHITE agreement. It is sme simple written agreement with his signature in it. You may use the agreement and sent it to the headquarters , etc etc. Worse case if he doesn't agree, dont buy from him.

Some salesperson would direct you to ask the engineers as they do not want to answer your questions. Anyway, we all know the fact they are not the boss, they are just sellers, so.. they can't fix problems but they do able to queue you into the order and assign what batch of car you will receive (with consideration of the date you would want to receive your car).

So far I have never heard there are any 1to1 car replacements, most of the times will be parts replacement.

Yes, these are the 3 common complaints that can be seen here in the forum.

Im driving the G but I have no complaints bout the cabin sound even when driving 110km/h except when theres rain..
well, not sure if my standard is same as yours.

Overall still happy with my ride. at least the common roof and engine mount complaints can be fixed.

just drive over a small sinkhole or doublehump, it will increase your chances to get the sound. if theres none, a hump will also do. Drive more than 20km/h with minimal brake.
