I would have gone for the City instead of Vios actually since City's highest spec is still cheaper than TRD and overall the City seems to be equipped with more functions than Vios.

But I needed a car urgently so I went for the Vios. But so far not much to complain about the car lar. Just the front knocking sound that pissed me off.

But I guess Vios gives a better ride comfort than City ? Knocking is it from the suspension ?

I will still go for vios with its nice interior design and exterior sporty design.
Additionally vios have tiny bit higher resale value compared to city.
Only issue is not much techs and low safety features.

City on the other hand is ugly like its big sister civic ( but not as ugly as saga or polo sedan)  and especially when you do not buy the high end model the interior looks as if a big patch hole in the center board. The lowest end city's interior looks more like a proton saga. Sadly, At first glance city looks like a facelift of its previous generation.
Techs and Features are quite excellent as they seem to take Korean car approach giving many feature to increase their history of low sales rate.

Only if city is designed correctly both interior and exterior looks, it might have changed my mind to get it.
In my opinion, I would wait for 2014 Jazz as it have a better sporty design and I'm sure there will be the good same features like in city.

agree especially in the long term of ownership the Vios is a much better car to get.

its from behind the steering wheel.. which is suspect to origin from the front RH lower arm.

I'm never really happy owning this car, seriously.

Whenever we need to resolve it... need to on weekdays only... 9am-5pm... which is my working hours.... everytime take leave to rectify the issue meh... thats only for troubleshooting... then repair is set for another day... AND its weekdays again...

really feel tired to go through this hassle....

With current issues that the latest models facing now, you still want to get VIOS? I heard SONATA giving out crazy deals, you should check it out.

I heard about the cash voucher RM500 and the free DVD AVN head unit worth RM3K (only for G and TRD Sportivo models) was only launched from this month onwards....as far as I know, I think its only for this month but maybe UMWT will extend it to next month like they did for the RM6K discount which was started from last month.....anyhow, for those still considering to take Vios, dont wait for too long now..... smile.gif

the RM500 cash voucher will not be given to those who bought the Vios, instead will be keyed in into their system.....owners then can use it for servicing their car and the amount due to be paid for the servicing can and will be deducted from the RM500 cash voucher....  rclxms.gif

Hi all sifus, wanna ask that did any of your vios having a weird sound when start engine? The sound is like very high pitch sound at the engine. Sometimes it last long time sometimes it last just few seconds. My vios was just 1 year old and already having this kind of sound. Last time my old gen 2 car having this kind of sound after few years.

Why buy another Vios ?
