my current Ford, 95k service:
1. Engine oil + filter
2. Skim disc rotor
3. Spark plugs --> RM300

Total cost me RM600 liao... sweat.gif

So for Toyota, major service at RM800 is decent.

I own all three gen vios, in comparison to 1st & 2nd gen vios,
although 3rd gen has been the most 'cut-cost' among the three gen vios, I still can see toyota has work hard on reducing vios NVH for better driving experience
overall, 3rd gen has better door seal, better underneath aerodynamic, better firewall insulation, better front wheel insulation
another key point in 3rd gen vios is Toyota has re-positioning the engine a bit far away from firewall, unlike 2nd gen, the engine is very close to the firewall
of course acoustic windscreen on G & TRD spec is a value added in term of reducing high speed wind noise from font

oic... you've drove all 3 generations before; hence could differentiate it thoroughly.

then, i have no comment on this.

i was coming from a C segment to this Vios; hence i found that the NVH is bad. laugh.gif

New Vios vs New Mazda 2..............
Which should I choose?

Appreciate your expert comment.
*
dashboard design personally i see Mazda 2 is a clear winner. Minimalistic yet luxury.

handling is firmer than our buoying Vios.

2nd value, Toyota all the way.

maintenance cost, Toyota.

its up to you what matters most.

you pay the money.. of course it's up to you..

for both car comparison, if u have no problem in budget, so compare G specs/TRD vs mazda 2.. for me i will choose for mazda 2.. looks nice and unique.. although the back is cramp a bit, but who care.. normally u drive alone.. only bring up family sometimes during weekend.. as long as not fat or big guys will do.. i prefer mazda design than toyota vios.. FC/RV i dont care..

a friend who is a used car dealer help me found a tip top condition 2014 vios trd @ 12000+km, selling 75k~.

I wonder whether worth buying used trd or new J/E spec.

considering that buying new car has lower interest rate, being new and the year 2015.

25k down payment btw, enlighten me please
*
Go for a new one as he OTR price tag includes everything.

For a used car, there's additional processing fee and insurance premium on top. This easily sums at around few thousands.

But, its a TRD specs which cost rm92k for a new one. End of the day, up to ur own decision.

my new vios's fuel consumption damn high .... one tank can only last for 350km max ...
heavy/light foot doesnt change the situation .... and another problem is the tank capacity ... mine is around 33L instead of 42L .... sigh ....
*
33L gave 350km, equivalent to 10.6km/litre... abit on the higher side as mine can go around 12km/l.

it also depends on the traffic condition though.

guys, anyone have door swinging issue? regardless of any batch.

it happens to my passenger door and driver door whenever i open from inside. I thought there is a 3-step mechanism in  the door but it doesnt seem to work when open from inside.
*
you've installed soundproof on your doors?

mine had this 3-step feedback on door during earlier ownership. After installed soundproof material that weighted around 3kilo each door, the 3-step no longer there.. laugh.gif

Yeah , I have sounproof in the door.  Actually mine isn't actually working effectively before I have the soundproof.
I thought these 3 steps thing are just some mechanism so Hopefully someone found out how to fix this.
*
the hinge was design for stock door weight.

with additional soundproof weight, i doubt that there is any solution to it. sweat.gif

QUOTE(farique @ May 3 2015, 09:38 PM)
how do we know which batch is the car came from?
a question, is there any reputable replacement absorber/spring for the new vios?

I am asking this because, the car will be for long distance purposes and it will carry quite a load including 5 adults. I do notice that if the car is fully loaded, the rear end will squat and hence will definitely affect the handling of the car. Any suggestions?
*
changing either the absorbers or springs will definitely void your warranty on this 2 item.

at the time being, perhaps a spring buffer would help?

QUOTE(farique @ May 4 2015, 10:08 AM)
thanks for the reply brah.

how much would spring buffer cost nowadays? Any specific brand to look for?
and also, usually, most new gen vios owners will increase their rim size to either 16s or 17s. What is the most suitable size and rim spec for an upgrade? The standard 15s are too soft and too 'empty'. lulz
*
i think these spring buffers cost around RM250-450, depends on brand. FYI, i never use it. laugh.gif

for vios, i think max 16's with 205/55 profile; else it will be stiff riding.

the stock 15s are soft, hence provide a "comfortable" ride. When you go for low profile rubber, you know its not that comfortable at all. My other is current on 215/45/17... man its really not comfortable.

ouch.. quite expensive for a spring buffer.
I think 205/55 is a little bigger hence, the speedo would deviates a little. I was wondering if there is any 205/50s or 195/55s.
yeah.. low profile is no comfy. My current rides on adjustables on 165/50/15 on 7" wide rims.
thanks for the input. nod.gif

try this:
http://www.etyres.co.uk/how-to-change-your-tyre-size/


do take note that your speedo meter reading will be off as well due the diameter surface contact changed; as it was optimized for stock size reading.

hope this help. smile.gif

Yeap bros, i understand and i agree with your recommendations. I like honda city and mazda 2 but this is my first car, and my parents, specially my dad, insist me to get a vios, reason, better resale value and lower maintenance cost.

I had no choice, he made the booking for me, and personally i borrowed first down payment from my dad, thats why need to follow his order.  shakehead.gif

But different people have different perspective, for me its pretty decent alrdy, use it for work and it is a new car compared to my 20+ years old Honda CRV, which breaks down monthly constantly and i had to fix it very time costing 500-1k.

My relatives drive vios for plenty of years, and i know that first gen vios is really durable than recent gens.. not sure what happened to the 3rd gen.

Theres no prefect car, i mean other brand car sure got problem too. Most importantly is how we drive and taking care of the car.

Hope it serves me well.

Vios is indeed a reliable workhorse with low maintenance cost.

for driving experience, im pretty sure mazda2 and Ford Fiesta is much better.

Would like to ask all sifus... how to know whether we get the acoustic windshield installed or not. Because I just checked mine Vios 3rd Gen G-Spec windshield markings just the same as Vios 3rd Gen J-Spec. I couldnt find any markings to state it is fitted acoustic windshield other than brochures.

I did Google just now and Pilkington normally will put an ear sign symbol. But mine none. Any owners for G-Spec and TRD Spec to confirm?
*
perhaps its just the rubber seal that makes the difference?

mine is J, so no comment from me.
