1st Gen is quiet and no rattling sound at all. The build quality and FC is better compare to subsequent Gen.

rattling roof sound i thought had already rectify.. only those who buy the 1st batch of 3rd gen vios got it.. now no more ler..
*
Beside car roof rattling sound, dashboard also got sound after driving for few months. Nowadays the quality given is not like 10 years ago where they focus on build quality and reliability.

FC and quietness for long distance drive is the main priority for people to purchase a good car.

Claimed windscreen insurance or else it will crack further and drop into your interior cabin.

sorry if i miss the followup post on this issue.
Is vios J spec has auto power window from driver window? what I mean is press once the window will auto down or up.
My one need keep on pressing for the window fully down or up.

Hi all, this issue is common for current vehicle as the ABS system is activated when reach 40km/h and above.

full tank 42 litres.
I only can pump 34 litres while almost empty tank.
*
Normally low petrol indicator will prompt earlier for users to get alert and drive to the nearest petrol station to replenish the fuel. This indication is to ensure fuel pump safe from faulty.

Hi Sifus,

Which tyre would you recommend for Vios 2012 facelift model? Am currently still using the stock tyre - Bridgstone Potenza RE080 and worn out soon.

Tyre and Rim size are: 185/60R15

I am in dilemma between Michelin PS3 and Michelin Energy XM2. Am looking for more quiet, better handling and better mileage performance.

If you don't mind, can share what is the market price nowadays? Together with labour cost and alignment how much would it be in additional?

TQ for your advice and new recommendation if any. =]
*
Go for Michelin Pilot Sport 3. No regret with this tyre. Good handling, stability and comfort for long journey drive.

helo all sifus,

i inherited a 08 vios j spec from wife, i want to know if it is possible to modify/upgrade the wiper that have intermittent function just like the other specs.

also if i want to improve the car performance, what i should do 1st?
install safety bar?

thx in advance.
*
Instead of modify the wiper with intermittent function, how about replace a good silicone wiper. That will enhance the visibility during heavy rain.

Thanks, for the suggestions.
Wiper is making screeching sounds, time to change it.

If got budget, go for PIAA brand. No regret to own it for the past 5 years. Still tip-top condition.

from your tone:
1. Sound proof
2. Entry Level Ice
3. Leather seat
4. ARB
5. Exhaust system

My suggestion:
1. Sound proof --> highly recommended to proceed with full floor + rear boot. Next, is wheel arch and 4 doors. Around RM3k.
2. Entry Level Ice --> the range is too wide; from RM1k to infinity.
3. Leather seat --> optional, cost around RM1.8-2.5k
4. ARB --> recommended to reduce bodyroll, much better handling at corners --> cost around RM400-550.
5. Exhaust system --> don't touch if you're sending in to those AhBeng workshops

hope the above helps. smile.gif

All of this upgrade can cost a bomb. Better stick with original setup.

Yes, mine is J but no such issue. Yesterday just took my car to SC checking due to my brake no function a few second during uneven road with speed 50kmj. Report came out ABS ok and the brake functioning well.  hmm.gif

Anyone had this experience before?
*
This few seconds if drive at highway can caused fatal accident. Normal computerized check hard to determine the issue.
