Anyone has changed his/her headlight and/or fog lamp light bulb to bright white color? Am planning to change mine to LED light bulb. Is it illegal? Any recommendation?  icon_question.gif

And, what is the light bulb model of both headlight and fog lamp for XP150? HIR2 for headlight; H11 for fog lamp? Please correct if I am wrong.

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

Comparing same B-Segment car like Honda City and Vios..
City is much cheaper than Vios and more security features.

Anyone may share your experience why Vios for you guys still a good move..

Thanks for sharing.

New batch vios still got engine mounting and lower arm problem?
*
As far as I read this forum, found out the general problems listed are follow:

1) Very loud when rain hit the root (Need to add some sponge) - as claimed that it is FOC
2) Lower Arm
3) Engine mounting

Anyone who own Vios registere after March 2015 still have all this problem ?

Already went to toyota 4 roof noise..foc..no need to pay anything..

Btw..how do u detect d lower arm n engine mounting problem? Got noise or someting ka?
*
I'm not yet own Vios.. But after reading Vios forum, these 3 items I heard most people complain about.
I just want to know whether all these 3 have been resolved in latest batch.
Otherwise, like root noise. After dismantle and apply the additional sponge, will you get more noise.

How about the leather seat quality overall, will it feel very hot under hot sun and how fast the hot will circulate out from the seat. Since I read in wiki this type of leather used in Vios got some holes which help on air circulation.

Please clarify..

I got 15k because i brought this case to court. If not, do u think they will? hey! NEVER!

i never see toyota offering a huge discount in history. you may go back and review their discount. bear in mind, it's only JUNE, not year-end-sales

I'm a loyal customer for Toyota. it is not like i am loyal and i have to bow and close one of my eye what major minor issues toyota vios has

if the car has problem, then it is - as simple as that

if the car is good and has no problem - it's a good car - as simple as that

no cars are perfect, of course; but... cars like vios above mentioned issues cannot be solved are .. prolly... INSANE

Do you have reverse camera installed on your car, if yes then your screen will display the video capture.
