It might take some time as the roof insulation part is made in Japan and currently there is a major shortage. Even my SA couldn't give a firm timeline when the part will arrive.

my FC is based on 70% highway as the route from home to work got few bottleneck spots.

yes, the knocking noise still there.

my driver side seatbelt rattling noise still there... passenger side window rattling also persist.

@g88 It is very possible but I have no idea how their internal working is. At any rate, if I'm going to buy the Vios then I'll buy from her friend. Hyundai cars are rather expansive for a sedan (compared to Vios of course)

I went for my test drive today (G-spec, no J-spec test units available). I noticed the 'thud' sound when going over bumps but the sound is so muffled that I would have a hard time noticing if I didn't pay attention. If I drive at my usual speed over the bumps then there would be no sound at all.

Noise intrusion starts around 100 km/h but I do not think the noise is anyhow unacceptable. I'm currently driving a Wira and my sound intrusion would be around 50 to 60% louder at only 80 km/h.

Overall I think Vios is by no means unacceptable with all the problems highlighted in this thread. They are mostly NVH problems that can be solved. If you do not previously own a car that really gives you a comfortable, very quiet ride then this car would not disappoint.

It should also be noted that however, the pickup of this car feels rather underwhelmed (I hope that going for full tank petrol would make it better, my petrol indicator was on during the test drive) but I heard that it is a feature to promote better fuel consumption. I personally take off slowly so it fits my style. The noise is noticeable but if you hardly go on highway or is not a speed freak, it would still be acceptable at 110~120 km/h. The Vios is not that wide in the inside so the rear passengers would have to cramp themselves quite a bit. The foot space is rather pleasant, surprisingly (in other words, the car is more of a long car than a wide car).

I am still deciding if I should give City a test drive. I am prioritizing FC and long-term maintenance over all other factors and I think Vios would fulfill my expectations. I drive gently most of the time and I hardly drive at even 100km/h. I am used to 80 to 90km/h due to my Wira's loud noise at that speed. Any other opinions? Preferably experience instead of opinions biggrin.gif

By the way Roxy, have you faced any part breakdown so far? Maintenance is a big issue to me tongue.gif

for FC honestly city will b better due to d cvt. since u want to get a new car. better get what u like... rather get d car others people like. just my opinion. u need face it maybe another 10yrs ?

no la... so far RM3k only. Roof still pending claim from Toyota...

so far did the following only:
1. Car boot
2. Wheel Arch
3. Floor

next is 4 doors and firewall+hood.

By that time, should be around RM4k+.

should be good enough for a more pleasant ride.

Im not into modding exterior.. more on cabin comfort only. Since already bought the car, have to bear with it for some time.. rather than ranting here and there; why just enhance the comfort and let it serve you. smile.gif

you really take alot of effort to make this car to be better... salute... notworthy.gif

Received a call from selayang Sc on the follow-up complain.

Still can't give me an answer for the solution or by Yes/NO

1) Root sound proof parts coming soon * Solved

2) Handbreak area HEAT... No answer even they have identify the problem

3) Door swing should be 3 step opening... Loose... No answer.

I'm forcing them to give me an Official Letter can the issue be fix or "Is Like That". Been fed-up with their attitude with " Is lIke That"

about the point no3. they put some yellowish glue on the doors,which 3 steps opening. Now, the 3 steps p[ening more obvious.

they did it during my 2nd service.
