:: 195/50 is almost same like stock size right? its 185/60.but it still can fit nicely with 17inch with correct et,jj and tyre size
thanks

Hi all,

I am currently trying to choose between Vios J or E variant.
TOYOTA sales adviser said currently they have RM6K discount, and TOYOTA website indicates the following "freebies":




While J variant equip with DVD-AVN, but E variant have an extra item called "Infotainment", so what does this added "Infotainment" gives?

From what the sales adviser told, different between J and E are front fog lamp and electronic retractable side mirror only.
I know these are not all, so I looked at the spec. and noticed a few more differences such as:

• Turn indicator at side mirror
• Rear seat 40/60 foldable and arm rest
• Scuff plates

Besides the items listed above, what else does E variant have while J variant don't?

For the extra few thousands ringgit, I wish to know if I will get something that I will regret if I go for J variant.

Please help and thank you in advanced.

Wow, DVD-AVN for J spec? that is nice. I bought J spec last July no DVD-AVN plus reverse camera but got RM6k rebate.
For me J spec sufficient enough. Besides the small differences with E specs. Even extra few THOUSAND ringgit also is accountable. Can change new wide sport rims to reduce swaying during cornering. As for me

bro, if you insist on 17's... following is the best setup:
205/40R17 23.5X8.1R17 23.5"-0.8%
215/40R17 23.8X8.5R17 23.8"+0.4%

do take note that 215/40 or 205/40 is an odd size... hence i guess you need to prepare extra sum of fund for it.

i've found the price at autoworld forum as followed:
Falken ZE522 - RM198 Excellent Speed (Kepong) (Apr-14)
Falken ZE522 - RM180 Weng Heng Bukit Kemuning (Dec-14)
Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE002 - RM350 Hin Leong Klang (Mac-15)

Falken is considered entry level tyre hence the cheaper price.. but its dated back in 2014.

if you go with the common size of 215/45/17, your meter reading with be off at +3.8%:
215/45R17 24.6X8.5R17 24.6"+3.8%

of course, you will have plenty of tyre options:
215/45R17
Achilles ATR - RM225 Ah Kit Shah Alam (May-14)
Achilles ATR - RM215 Weng Heng Bukit Kemuning (Sep-14)

Hi, swaying durung cornering happens only when HARD cornering or normal driving style?

By the way, I forgot to ask, what is that 3 in 1 thing some owners installing to their car?

Thanks!

the default setup is so soft its a tail happy car.

3in1 is the device that provide the following:
1. Central lock via brake or speed limit
2. autofold side mirrors
3. buzzer sound upon car door lock/unlock via your remote

V

Hehe we r open tomorrow too if interestedin getting the 3 in 1 can buzz us

Thanks RoxyMunky, looks like this 3 in 1 device is a must have for Vios and I am so surprised to realized the original setup that the door will not lock when the car start moving...
Autofold side mirror only suitable for J variant right? Because E or G already have this?

EDIT: forgot to mentioned, I am ok with soft suspension, in fact, I always complain my current national car's stiff suspension, I hate it.
I prefer comfort drive, mostly city driving, I'm not the racer type of driving style.

Haha... I'm not even book the car yet, was considering whether J or E...
By the way, I wish I could support you, but too bad I stay in Penang...
Unless your device can be DIY (install ourselves) then I can order from you by post.

ya, applicable for J only.

the central locking removal is due to safety issue.

This is a bit ironic... haha....
I thought keep the doors locked is due to safety...

This Toyota sales advisor just called me and appointment for this Friday for discussion.

By the way, is it convenient to reveal how much is the 3 in 1 device?

Thank you si much for the information...!

guess its around RM120-200~

Thank you RoxyMunky...!
The price is very reasonable indeed...!

i think Sh@rty 5 is selling lor

Thai demo slalom test Vios vs City, thought City would have won it lol

This post has been edited by walkmanphone: Sep 24 2015, 07:57 PM

because of missing VSA in city? low spec City have no VSA i think.
btw why not vs new gen of city

Hi, may I know which variant of new Vios equip with ESP (what Toyota call this stability control)?

yea same thought,why not new gen City. Anyway, it would have been nicer if Vios is equipped with VSC.

none. Vios nv had any ESP in any Generation before. Correct me if im wrong.

this surprised me... from my driving experience.... City feels much more subtle over Vios.

Yes, Vios don't have traction control at all.

I see... thank you for clarify...

Ok, thank you for clarify...




Just went to Toyota this morning, the sales assistant can't make it to meet me so he asked his colleague to look at my car to evaluate the price.
When I asked the guy some questions about Vios, he seems not knowledgeable because I think he is from technician department? He said I better ask sales person...

By the way, rear seat 60/40 folding is quite useful to my usage, may I know if E variant have it and J variant confirmed don't?

Thank you!
