If it's the timing belt do not put lubricant. Use wax instead.

If I'm you, I'll get Alza Advanced.

The driving dynamics and build quality is not much different. As for accessories, J is pathetic. What for you pay more to get less.

Do avoid Vios unless you like the new Bold styling design.

If I could reverse time, I'll definitely skip Vios.

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.

Yesterday i go to toyota showroom in johor.. They have discount 2k for all vios model, except Vios J manual 1k discount..
