I'am a little scare to use USA & France car.. Seem the spare part is expensive..

Japanese car parts isn't cheap either + quality have dropped since all made in malaysia, thailand, indo....and some china also.

If talk able korean or europe car they most of the parts (or at least 50/50) still from origin country....

so... I've did some other test with the vios. Everything original. The handling of the car was somehow disappointing. felt like the car will lose control when slipping through traffic with the speed of around 100-120kmh. (yes I admit I'm an ******* for driving this fast on heavy traffic)

Anyway, any solution to increase the car's handling?
Roll bar, strut bar or something else?

Kindly advise.

Bigger and Wider Rim is most practical but it will also burden your car....u can't get balance unless yours is big CC (then FC will become another issue)

Yea I thought about it too but I'm afraid that the extra weight of the rims will affect a lot of my overall top speed.

Will it.
How frequent do you go 'top speed' ? Like it said something goes up, something will come down..you just can't have the balance result...

This is boil down to the range/design of the car....

hmm.. maybe? I'm not really sure about it. Is there any difference on handling wise between EPS and normal power steering?

It's still ok when I'm hitting hard around the corners but I'm shocked about the car's handling when I'm slipping thru traffic. It's like a snake lol. I'm turning the wheels like normal but this problem occurs. My crappy old wira didn't give me this problem though.
*
EPS doesn't burden the engine as its motor drive on your steering but normal hydralic will burden your engine...old and new tech, again you can't do much about it...

If your car tend to skid during hard corner, possible few thing...suspension (handling) setup, tires or driver skill...

OMG!!  After read this, i might thing, to cancel my vios G booking this afternoon.. What car is comparable? Honda city? I heard honda city had VSA n 6 airbag n autocruise.. I think that is more than enough..
*
City also about the same since they are just abang-adik....with this budget this is mostly what you can get from japanese...maybe try look at Korean or Europe car....etc Fiesta is good (then you might say small etc)....

I installed this thing in Cheras. Cost about 500 include installation.
- 5 years warranty instead of normally 1 year
- has one button besides the keyhole. So, easier to use. Just press the button to lock instead of putting in the key.
*
can i say you paying another RM1xx-200 for the extra 4 years warranty ?

Hi all. Im about to book new vios J spec auto. But after review, seems like the interior so dull. Thinking to take n E version. Price different around 5k. Monthly 763 for J, 830 for E based on my dp. But not sure whats different between this two type. Is the color of dashboard still the same full black or 2-tone like G?and also the material of seat.
I book with my sis, thats why i just survey at the web. Anyone can clear me forumers? smile.gif
*
Why not choose other brand which similar price range ? Are u looking for space, design, price, technology ?

Its two 600w amp. That's sum up 1200w
Scare it burst my alternator into flame
*
you do not measure amp power but ADDING them up. I presume your single channel can hit max peak @ 300w hence depend on how many Ohm speaker you using. RMS is another thing

Better understand better on power rating first.

Am planning to buy a new Vios but I heard from one of the Hyundai SA (who has a Toyota SA friend) that J spec would take another 2 months to arrive (new batch I assume). Any possibility of Toyota fixing the issues with noisy dashboard and etc with the new batch? I gave up reading when I have reached around page 30. Please enlighten me tongue.gif

have you EVER think the Hyundai SA wanna make your sales ? laugh.gif

today i was driving on the highway at about 110-120 km/h, my vios felt like it was floating.

is there any way to make it more stable? don't want to suddenly fly off road.
*
that is WHY Vios fuel consumption is good compare to it same class car, metal is thinner (lesser ? )...

If you make it stable = heavier, your FC will increase and POSSIBLE life span of part is shorter...e.g stressed wheel bearing, brake pad, steering etc..
