It is worth it to buy vios j instead of alza advance? Fyi vios j auto cost 77k.. Alza advance 64k.. Which one is the best decision?
*
For brand wise, of course will be Toyota is better, but for quality wise you may consider Alza with advance spec and lower price smile.gif

An update on the rattling noise on my car.

Currently at Toyota Balakon. They couldn't solve the problem since the noise comes from car body chassis and not from the plastic door panels or B pillars covers. Hence, escalating it to HQ level. This means they need my car to stay 2-3 days for the troubleshooting and solution.

I'll leave my car here for next week and shall update the outcome thereafter.

Let's pray that they solve the problem.

Hope that this is just a minority since it involved car chassis and not the panels components. Guess I got the lemon car here.

Hopefully your car's problem can be solved..May update us about your car after fixed smile.gif

With bigger rims, your car will be heavier, less comfort and louder tyre noise but with more stable cornering, if you got more money, change a better tyre biggrin.gif

Any side effect is dont turn of aircond first before turning the engine off?
*
If you care for your car you would turn the air conditioner off before shutting the car off. When returning to your car to start it again the compressor for the air conditioner loads the motor of my car more making it work harder to cool it down. Turn off the AC 2 minutes before you reach your destination and don't keep it working until the last second smile.gif

i consider to buy vios J as my first car. the problem is i in doubt with the vios quality. I heard most people complaint about the roof soundproof. Very noisy in the raining. The engine mounting problem when drive at bumper road. and door feel like tin kosong. Any idea what i need to do if im buying vios? thanks

Vios FC is good i agree, handling is not good, but for city driving is okay, highway drive after 130km/h will be a bit shaking..
But the price seem like overpriced smile.gif

There are five techniques to save fuel:
1) drive like there are eggs on your pedals
2) plan trips (combine errands)
3) never idle, ever (okay, idle at stop lights or you'll ruin your starter)
4) drive the speed limit
5) keep your car maintained

Hi guys, just got my vios trd white 2 weeks ago, everything's working fine. Just wondering, if i change my rims to 17', will it affect the lifespand of my suspesion? such as those arms or absorbers?

If you hit a curb you will damage the wheel and your suspension. This is because the short sidewall will not absorb the shock. Your tires work like shock absorbers. The force will tranfer to the wheel and then to the suspension smile.gif
