Well, you can't assumed that most of the current gen vios owners are facing the this problem..because only those who are having problems will be complaining while those who are enjoying their ride without any issue will be 'silent'

It's HIR2 9012 for G specs & TRD this bulb is still very new in the market.. so it's quite hard to get those aftermarket type 

Bigger and Wider Rim is most practical but it will also burden your car....u can't get balance unless yours is big CC  (then FC will become another issue)

Im agree with u bro.. Btw,u cant aspect more as it's just an oem setting car.. What u paid what u got.. My J-spec currently on 17" lenso wrapped with 205/45/17 achilles atr sport.. Some of u maybe will ask/say ;

1) this tyre made from where? I never hear before.
2) this tyre is cheap, it can give u a good handling/grip?
3) u can afford 17", y dont u get a little bit better tyre like those branded tyre falken/yokohama/bridgestone??
4) adjustable or bars will give u a bumpy ride.. Uncomfortable ride..

I honestly reply u all here,my car handling improved after i got bigger shoes.. But still it dissappointed me.. If comparing to My previous myvi manual which on hilo-softhard adjustable, full Ultra Racing bars.. 17" low profile tyres.. I can tell u, my current vios handling jz like shittt!!!
Harden suspension setup n chasis tuning.. Sure will sacrifice ur comfort level.. U cant own comfort n performance both at once..

My myvi can easily whacked corner from 110-120kmh.. If u dare to go,u can even press harder.. But vios OMG,will it skip of out my lane?!(everytime i drove fast or whacking corner)

Tyre question: i used various type of branded tyre on my previous myvi like;
yokohama r1,s drive
Falken 522,912
Bridgestone my-02
Nexen 8000
Achilles atr sport

I can tell u,dont think tat only those exp branded tyre can give u better grip/performance/handling/long lasting..

Y im using achilles tat only rm200/piece now in my new vios? It's really a damn dirt cheap tyre, but it give me better result comparing to those tyres brand i mention above.. Falken912 rm300-330/piece, i dont think this tyre can beat achilles.. Falken exp,more noisy,side wall soft n etc.. Yokohama r1 famous tat gt better grip in wet condition road,i feel my achilles more better than it.. S-drive? Nexen 800? I wana ask u,how much u pay for 1pc of both tat brand? Achilles wont dissappoint u much if compare with it.. My-02/522,give me a crap.. Both f***ing tyre will kill u in rainy day if u speed up.. And i will continue using achilles as it's reasonable/cheap price tyre but the result wont let u down
Dont misunderstand, dont drive like a michael schumacher,typical racer or drifter.. If u aren't those proffessional driver tat got proffessional skill,what kind of tyre also will kill u.. Dont ask me,if they drive they wont get kill?! Think it urself

Im not here to promote anything, not to defend anything, not to condemn anything..
Im jz want to shared my little experienced here.. Hope can help u guys out..
FYI,cheap brand doesnt mean rubbish.. Exp brand,can u ans me tat it's sure a good investment?..
Drive safe drive smart

Happy Motoring everyone.....

Could it be you are not used to the electrically power steering (EPS) yet?

How frequent do you go 'top speed' ? Like it said something goes up, something will come down..you just can't have the balance result...

This is boil down to the range/design of the car....

EPS doesn't burden the engine as its motor drive on your steering but normal hydralic will burden your engine...old and new tech, again you can't do much about it...

If your car tend to skid during hard corner, possible few thing...suspension (handling) setup, tires or driver skill...

imho, if u chg ur wheels size, u'll still get ur top speed, but gota compensate other aspect.

btw by how far the top speed is?

heard hydraulic power steering will give u real road feed back, u know how ur car contact with road,
mean while electric power steering feels like toy, light or heavy on speed is programmed, good for city driving only

Michelin ps3 tak boleh la.. My 1st wira turbo on michelin.. Wipe off on dry road but luckily only damaged lower arm.. Only attacked corner like normally.. Tat corner i everyday passed by also.. Maybe tyre percentage left 60-70% already consume botak soon??? Ur fren myvi turbo using michelin on highway or attack corner? For those exp turbo car like rx8/skyline/lancer evo i dont kno la.. For modded turbo car liked myvi/vios/city when u wana IN corner sure will lose to our NA car.. Normally turbo car will slow down when IN corner but full throttle after the corner.. Mine is normal myvi1.3 manual spec.. But im enjoyed every corner i went thru my fren myvi turbo & celica turbo slow down quite a lot when go thru the corner .. For me,jz a slightly soft brake pedal press will do..

Bars will make ur ride harden.. Especially chasis.. For me,i can feel the different .. Maybe u can say a little bit.. Before i install any bars.. Im already a adjustable absorber user with 8k front 5k rear.. Harden enough rite? But i can noticeable the comfort after installed bars.. Yes i can tell u it's a bumpy and harden ride!! But when come to corner,it will be another story.. Adding bars will make ur car become heavier aswell..

Previous ride,full bars + fully adjustable absorber + full disc brake system + wrapped with 17".. Kinda heavy for a kitty ride myvi1.3.. Sure performance will slightly dropped.. So i modded the full exhaust system.. Changed to vios1.5 ecu.. High cam.. It reli a gd setting for a NA user xD

But now im getting old bro,already got a new born baby.. Stopped mod and need a bigger car.... So,sold my myvi.. Kinda sad and reli miss it so much..
My myvi topspeed can reached 200kmh.. While my car chasis was strong enough.. 180kmj my car still quite stable im not a big liar and i reli mean it.. Forget to tell u,my adjustable absorber is customade.. I had went thru a lot of setting only can get a balance of performance+comfort..
Conclusion,many things we need to be experience by our own.. Different ppl got different needed..

Haaa.. Im only interesting for NA now.. Liked what i said, im old retired already.. Me jz did some normal add-on only la bro.. No any modification.. Added trd sportivo skirts,changed 17" rims,change dvd player,wrapped roof with glossy black.. Normal those tinted,led/lightning.. Nothing much.. Jz wan a comfort car for now.. Hehe

Haha.. Modder never stop mod right??
Will add some bars later.. Get a good drop-in filter.. Lowered spring.. Sound system touch up abit .. I think will be enough xD
All these things,havent arrive in the market yet.. And i can tell u once it available.. It also will be quite pricey.. As our vios still new..

Yes u're right that UR bars is available. But still not promote it yet to the market. I called my frenz who working at Kakimotor/Zerone and few performance shops @ sunway area. They said the UR bars is available but price cant be confirm.. Some more stock havent reach them. They only told me only eibach spring will available very soon. I called them ard 2-3weeks ago.
The UR bars official website sure got.. But can u find the pricelist in there??

Seriously, this Vios handling is really very flimsy...

As for bars, its really depends on what aspect u wanna enhanced.

Different bars give different enhancement.

For cornering, get ARB.
As above.
EPS for Vios is way too light. U barely feel the road feedback. This makes handling worst.

I used to whack 60' corners at 100km+... With this Vios... I barely reach 70km due to the flimsy road feedback and soft legs.

try Fiesta and u will know what I mean.
Why u wanna install a front strut in the first place?

Personally, I would got for ARB, and front lower 4 point bar. It stiffens the body roll and gives u better stability at corners.

Of course, this is just my opinion and personal preference.

As for my current Vios. I won't give it a damn anymore.  Looking to change it in shortest possible time frame.

from my 2 previous ride setup, yes.

but its quite costly compared to other bars... for my Kenari, it cost RM380, Focus RM580, i think Vios at least RM450.

Rear Arb very useful for cornering.. It help ur car rear to counter oversteer so ur rear wont swing out.. More thick more soild feel.. But for normal suspension setting ride,too hard an arb  also not so good.. It cant work properly compare those thinner arb

FYI,different car chasis need different thick rear arb.. All depend on ur chasis/suspension setting too

If u a cornering lover.. Yes front lower arm 4points and rear arb is a must but dont make ur car too low.. Ur undercarriage become lower and this is how the famous front lower arm bar easily get scratches.. But who bother the scratches?! The performance is still there what..

If u wan to feel the usage of each bar, u can try install it 1by1 piece i talked too much also wont help much.. Maybe hard for u to understand bro.. Hehe.. Try urself experience urself enjoy it ^^

How old were the cars when u bought it?

90% of ppl here asking about 'whether should buy Vios (be is latest gen or used Vios) already make up their mind to get it...just wanna see something you like to hear from other forumer only.

Good Day folks.

is it advisable for new vios drive up to Genting? Current mileage 158km

Thanks

dudes, i think the 15' silver rim looks tiny, but i don't wanna change rim, atleast not b4 the front right knocking noise solve
did spray to darker color like black or gun metallic will help abit on visual?

[attachmentid=3933705]

Bro,jz get a new set of shoes.. I still able to complained the front knocking sound.. They checked n tried to fix.. But problem still exist only xD

Not sure if they can definitely solve the issues, at least they are trying. FOC of course. My SC is in Melaka.
