What kind of problems you encounter ? Mind to share with us ?

good enough la~
good for you bro.
i salute your consistency in going back and forth to SC in order rectify those problems.

i went in few time also fed up jo.

its a norm that first 1-2 year selling off a car will easily undercut you 20-30%. The depreciation will only stabilized in the 4-5th years. Thats why my Vios is still sitting at home.
chill la, its nothing major actually.

all in all, its still a reliable car.
their lower arm and engine mounting knocking sound is there since Dugong generation and they're yet to resolve it. However, its not a killing factor in the car; as its not harmful to driving.

your new Toyota also getting Rm15k+ la. it doesn't that they got problem only sell so cheap.

its a sales strategy in sacrificing margin to gain higher sales volume. apart from this, market competitiveness also plays a major role here.

different people have different expectation lo.

some people could accept that the issues are minor hence its negligible and some wouldn't stand it.

for example, my wife never complaint that the milo tin roof is noisy

but we're glad that now you have a problem free good car.

Like that better buy Proton Suprima. Better quality than this car

May I know which car you are driving now

You owned a Proton or National car before that cause so much trouble to you ke?

"choose the RIGHT vehicle!"

I'd like to know what car to choose if exclude vios and proton suprima?

so would you say Honda City is better than Vios?

No to proton but beli iriz.

Wow I see you are now a changed man. From a person whom complaint a lot last time to a person who accepts. That's a good positive thinking .

I think you are right and I support what you said about people's expectation. Let me put it into 2 possible points for setting an expectation.
1st Point is level of expectation. Some people would say its a car and its just for driving...so if the car can fly or the roof have no sound, then its an added advantage.
2nd Point is education. Some people whom is a car person like us would know there is an issue and is expected it not to happen. But some non-car people will think that the sound is something that is expected from the car, hence not an issue. "They do not know an issue is actually an issue"
I also support Aroma for his opinion. For when you buy something, the main expectation is the thing should work 100% with not even minor issues. We paid for a 100% not for 80% car, 20% issue . The debate here is , should the customer eat up the 20% themselves if there is really the 20% issue. One way to think about the discounts are the RM8000 or whatever number of discounts are actually the money Toyota is paying you to eat up the 20% issue.

I think all Car Sellers are smart evil businessmen. For example, in Takata airbag issue. They should have fixed the issue many years ago in each and every cars. But these guys from Toyota, Honda, Nissan probably kept the secret to themselves and probably agreed to keep the secret together until recently someone brought it up into court and made such big huu haa internationally. If they kept this Life Risking related issue for so many years and not fixed it, should we think they will care any bit of non-life risking vios mounting issue.. Lets keep it to the reality that these big companies wont care about our small potato until someone bring it up to court or when lets say 1000 people died in cars with their brand on it.

I think we as buyer, at most can do is not to support the Brand anymore (if you really hate them for the issue they gave you) or try to become a smart buyer (research in the internet, become pro tester like Aroma    by doing a thorough testing or ask people all around). I admit I only drove normally, straight and never gone thorough enough to test every part of the car during test drive.

yeap point noted from everyone here 

I think its like rm130 only due to promotion. I've posted this few days back on the cost breakdown for 30k km service interval.
Bro, Vios is B segment for developing countries market. Audi is another segment. Cant compare apple-apple one.
Yeap.
Its Malaysia and we're heavily burdened by the automotive tax system.

funny seeing you repeating "audi" in some vios and altis thread...
well, previously my family owns older-gen of audi, from c3 to c4. we observed the c3 was super quiet inside, c4 losing abit and we can hear "rain water flowing" of tyre (might because of thinner material on tyre fender area).

so we shifted from 21 year old of c4 to altis 1st gen. i can say altis handling is inferior, but what we like is the parts simplicity and probably low maintenance. previously on audi i spent min 3k per year for maintenance and parts changing. with the altis i probably spend less than 1k, so far only engine oil changed once this year!

what i'm trying to say is, there are pro and cons of every brand, audi doesn't equal to best car, you might satisfied with it now, but i observed the trend of your past posting, you might complain on it sooner...

to be precise - it's broken parts replacement cost.
and please be hardworking to check the engine oil level at least every 2k km. Manual written permissible oil consumption is 1 litre/1000km, don't wait till the low oil pressure warning lamp triggered only check.

get urself around 5xx aside to invest in a decent sound damping for ur roof top which will solve ur problem

throw in another 2xx to get the second layer of heat insulation ( something like tinted fucntion ) which will not only further insulate noise but also heat from entering from ur car roof

Thanks for sharing    This is a place for Vios Current/To-BE owners to talk about the car, not some market or garage sale thread...so no worries for what you have shared.
