Anyone feels weird when shifting gears? (auto). Sometimes feel like it's not responsive or delay and not shifting itself.

Yeah,but from 1st gen vios also like that.

May I know why you guys choose the Vios over the new City ? Thanks.
*
From my point ,i think city spare parts is a bit expensive than vios

I have compare both and i think vios is less problem than city , vios parts mostly is denso supply

I dont know new city is or not but you can see yourself compare both car

japs have their up side also 1 la...
i have a rich ass fren his house used to only buy toyota and lexus past decade, and this few years starting switch to conti car, mers, bmw, audi, wv, left his parents still stick to lexus...
according to him, all 100% conti car in his house have problems, or weird noise, all their SC blames everything on M'sia weahter, it's either unsolvable or only keep changing parts while still under warranty...
both his parents's lexus haven encountered any problem yet.

Agree,they blame weather this and that

But compare jap car,if encounter problem...they recall everyone go back to check

This is the reason why malaysian choose jap car

My friend passat two years only facing two times gearbox problem

Hi all. Wanna check with all bros here. I make my booking for G spec Quartz Brown on mid march, SA promise car will arriving beginning of April. But then now say might delay until end of April or worst beginning of May cause short of stock. My question:-

Thanks

i'm on Meguiar wax though. But i believe both work perfectly. Ori GPS which is the G spec? that's one of the reasons why i dont get any car that comes with GPS. Yes it's convenient, but i still prefer it's portable and update easily..

WAZE my fav, even though i have GARMIN.  laugh.gif  laugh.gif
*
Mine is ori toyota Dvd -AVN which got one SD card for us update the map.

i think they using garmin but just they never update the road and a bit confuse.

Waze i think can bring us to the nearest destination.

i choose TRD (S) spec cause i feel the interior for G spec will very easy dirty which im a bit lazy to clean my car and i still got my old car wira to take care.

anybody want my wira ??already Mod 1.... brows.gif

sent my car in this morning to Balakong SC.

they confirmed the knocking noise presence and the roof insulation.

apart from this, i got noises from both driver and passenger side door.

They will try to rectify the issue by today if parts available and timing allowed.

else, another appointment upon parts availability.

Roxy:me too..

Did they inform you what the problem already ???

SC called... confirmed mine is due to engine mounting hence the knocking sound.

They will order the roof insulation and engine mounting from Thai since no more stock... waiting time is 1 month... sweat.gif

going go collect my car now. hopefully they settled my seatbelt rattling noise.

shall update in due course.

Mine also same answer,two weeks or one month
