Front Strut Bar RM180 (Mistake).

Rear anti-roll they quoted RM480 like that. But rear anti-roll bar is not direct plug and play, they need to loosen the suspension base support to install. So that one will takes more time.

EDIT: I made a mistake and need to do correction. I did last time was RM230, not RM180. Sorry everyone.

Comparing City S & Vios J,

Active safety wise they are the same, 2 airbags, VSA, BA etc.

City add on hill start assist.

Interior wise, subjective so not going to comment, but you get center arm rest for Vios.

QA wise, I think Vios better than City, at least I see much lesser complaint for Vios compared to City, which City flooded with tons of complaint about interior noise, panel gaps, rusting etc.
(You can check City forum, I'm not bashing City simply for bashing, I kind of like the interior of City more than Vios. But whether their complaint true or not, only real City owner knows.)


I owning the Vios model with VVTi + 4 speed auto, but my friend just bought the FL dual VVTI + CVT. I noticed some improvement there.

VVTI + 4 speed auto - engine mounting noise, glove box sometimes got minor noise, RPM definitely higher when on highway due to 4 speed auto, but all other are good.
Dual VVTI + CVT - no more engine mounting noise, rear boot open sound minimized, engine more quiet, RPM lower due to CVT thus lead to more fuel saving.

I'm thinking for the edge you can get touch up paint to resolve. But not sure got this new color or not

I'm driving pre-facelift model, which have the mounting sound.

My friend just bought the latest model, so far I didn't heard any mounting issue when I sit his car.

I just done with the checking for engine mounting on tuesday, they also suggested that first try with the engine mounting insulation. Car need to be at there for 5 to 6 hours, so I haven't make any further appointment.

Your sound looks like from the glove box?

I see...Nvm I will find one time to go for insulation first see how much it improved.

Other 2 issues you mentioned I don't encounter it. Mine is VVTI + 4 speed version.

Do we have local supplier that import Thai accessories? They might have the solution lol

Fog Lamp is H16 19W

Which supplier you contacted? Local TRD/GX rim cost quite an amount of $$$, so don't expect thai's ori 16 inch can be cheap though. Might be 2k+

PMed you to 2x check the price of GX rim

To Pheng011: Higher than aftermarket 15 wheel, but less than 2k

To Ancient-XinG: I got no objection on the 16inch, I like it too. Just that the odd size of 195/50/R16 which match out 185/60/R15 not much tyre choice available.
For aftermarket 16inch, the offset might cause we hit the rear fender. Original will go without problem If really got ppl can import 16 inch thai version and price ok, I don't mind to change. Else might just stay with original rim/get GX rim.

3rd gen. VVTI

1. GX emblem. Just get from Toyota Sc for genuine part. Problem solved.

Some ppl purposely turn on the rear fog light for the sake of turning it on. The factory switch already got the prevention to turn the rear fog lamp off once you off the light. So there is no accidentally turn on the rear fog light, but the driver turn it on!

Default switch functionality:

Front fog light switch on, small light switch off - ALL OFF, unable to switch to rear fog light position.
Front fog light switch on, small light switch on - SMALL LIGHT + FOG LIGHT ON, unable to switch to rear fog light position.
Front fog light switch on, headlight switch on - SMALL LIGHT + HEADLIGHT + FOG LIGHT ON, now able to switch on rear fog light

But once you switch off HEADLIGHT + SMALL LIGHT, the rear fog light switch will automatically turned to front fog light position too and all light will be off. So you never able to accidentally switch on rear fog light next time unless you purposely switch it on.

Quoted from your post
1. comfort, styling & performance of vtec (This decision should be there the moment you look at both car)
2. much superior (City indeed provides more accessories and safety feature for high spec)
3. Toyota have all the models passenger and commercial vehicles, but honda, just their passenger car number is more then ours combined.. That shows Malaysian like any other nationality, have their own preference and it can be for a good reason. (I do admit that City high spec is feature rich, design wise up to personal preference)
4. Thought the new engine and gear box was a game changer for Vios but definitely not the case lah (I believe you test drive both car and feel them yourselves)
5. Honda does seem a tad superior then us. (Well, depends on which area you mean)

With all of these, I can't understand a single bit why you buy Vios in the first place, not at all.

What's the problem of letting other forumer know your nearest SC? With this they can call up the SC, compare the price and settle themselves. SC is a public place anyway.

3rd Gen NS40

The battery base suit for NS60. If you ask them, they might just reply the supply from NS40 already more than enough for Vios.

Shouldn't be any problem. Some people changed to NS60. For my case, Initially I wanted to change to NS60, but SC found the battery low first & that time SC got battery discount so end up I take their battery. Still NS40 though.
