Overall it's quite a nice driving experience. Btw, I heard alot of people saying that it's not good to keep on stepping on the gas and go full throttle with a new car before dunno how many mileage. Is it true?

༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Giff Me Mana Kotol Senior Member 1,701 posts Joined: Oct 2010 From: Under your bed	QUOTE(RoxyMunky @ Mar 4 2014, 02:20 PM) from my personal experience, i whack the car till 140km/h even before the 1k service. So far no issue with the ENGINE. Do take note on the front driver side knocking sound upon crossing hump. Its a common issue for Vios. The other thing is the loose "freeplay" mechanism used on our brake pedal... the bounce knocking sound is annoying. Icic, driver side knocking sound comes from where ah? didn't notice it yet. and regarding the 'freeplay' mechanism, what does it mean?

Try drive on bumpy road... If the jerk is significant enough, you'll hear the knock sound. Icic. Happens to all new vios or depends on luck? btw, if I choose to change my headlights to HID, will it void the warranty?

༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Giff Me Mana Kotol Senior Member 1,701 posts Joined: Oct 2010 From: Under your bed	QUOTE(RoxyMunky @ Mar 5 2014, 08:31 AM) it comes from behind of your steering, which refers to the engine compartment driver side. HID is just the bulbs and pallast right? If its plug and play, then it should be fine. make sure no cutting wires involve to avoid any argument with Toyota. hmm.. so far didn't hear any sounds yet. Maybe I didn't try hard enough. lol. Yeah. Should be ballast only I think.. so basically anything that involves cutting the wires can or will void the warranty? Oh yeah. I notice that the water temp signal will stay blue for around 10-20 sec after a cold start. Is it just me or it's normal? QUOTE(Henry217 @ Mar 5 2014, 10:29 AM) If you're a J or E spec owner, please don't be the idiot you will give everyone a very bad glare and pissed out everyone I'm driving the TRD. So should be no problem regarding the glare since it's smoked..

I have this popped up every single time. Icic. Oh btw, regarding the knocking sound near the steering wheels, I think my car has it too. Like a hard knock when going too fast on rough terrain. /sigh. Any advice on this? Send it to SC like everyone else? QUOTE(xakarix84 @ Mar 6 2014, 06:28 PM) it is temp, since we don't have analog or digital 1, blue is cold, red is over heat, nothing means normal. Icic. Thanks for the heads up.

QUOTE(RoxyMunky @ Mar 7 2014, 08:41 AM) they will say "its common", and "not an issue".. "its nothing one"... "even Dugong also have this, but no problem one." its an overpriced cheapo car, what do you expect? So, the answer is no. normally only C-Segment cars have it. Well that's sad to hear lol. Oh yeah and one more. It seems like the new vios doesn't have a auto locking system. (auto door lock when stepping on brake or reaching a specific speed). My SA told me that it's a new law from JPJ stating that all new cars cannot have this function. Is it true or he's just messing with me? = =

QUOTE(Eugene Ong @ Mar 7 2014, 03:26 PM) Just saw this thread, Just thinking share some my pass experience with my first gen VIOS about the knocking sound. Hopefully this will help you all. My first gen VIOS do have knocking sound came from the fender (if I not wrong about the name) every time hit by the absorber when go over the hum. The Toyota Sungai Rasak SC help me to rectify this issues by cutting big hole so that the absorber will not hit that plastic again. Regarding the auto locking, it only happen only to Japanese car. In year 2011, Malaysia have sign agreement between Malaysia automotive and Europe Automotive (ENCAP) compliance. 1 of the rules which effective to new model is about looking system. During side impact of the car, the car lock should be unlock to let rescue team to perform. Since this only happen in Malaysia and they did want to invest to R&D on the lock system, they have disable it. Mean if you lock it, you lock at your own risk. No matter you having VIOS or Camry 2.5V spec also same. All Continental car remain the same since they have side impact featured. They still will auto lock at certain speed and disengage the lock upon side impact. Hope this make it clear. Well that explain alot. Sigh. Can't really do much about it then since modding it requires some wiring works that might void warranty.

More than 2 months waiting, that's way too long. Is there any reasons that given by them, why take ages to arrive? And my order form is stated 2 months Im not really sure about the rebate since when the time i'm surveying about this car, there's a few shop that actually doesn't provide any rebate at all. So I went to my friend's outlet and got the 1k rebate. Yeah it was quite long since I didn't want to take 2013 car. They told me that there isn't much demand on trd so have to wait quite some time.
