E spec.
So far so good. I have both H.city and T.vios CVT at home.
In term of specs, H. city is winner.
However, the car is for driving not by just looking at horse-power and the number of USB and HDMI port u have in the car.
If you liked "softer" handling, "lighter" feel of steering, then City will be your choice.
T. vios CVT is more "solid" in term of handling. The acceleration will not give u immediate power but smooth increase of the speed. It is due to CVT and tuning. Personally i like Vios handling more than City. I like Vios CVT version the moment i tested drive the car after I have driven H.city for more than 2 weeks.

Build quality, seat comfortableness - i will go for Vios. Better seat quality as it is harder (my personal preference, some ppl like softer seat). Level of sound-proof is normal, not too bad. Driving at 140km/h (slightly more than 2000rpm) is smooth and stable. 1900rpm at 110-120km/h. One thing i dont like about the seat is "the dirt sticks quite easily".

Apparently the car still have lower arm issue. I have made a complain and UMW will get back to me soon. Heard the noise from front only during raining day, overhump. These two conditions must be there to give you this noise.

Not sure if it is isolated case. My H.city is red in color. The quality is not good. Polishing the car leaves some spots on the surface. No issue with Vios so far.
Space wise, City is definitely more spacious but space of Vios is surely sufficient to cover 5 average adults in car.

Speaker sound quality is above average, touch screen player is very responsive. Air-cond fan produces reasonable noise even at level 3 (4 is the max).
Front doors is heavy, rear doors are relatively lighter. I think the quality is acceptable.

My latest FC is 13.5km/l, mileage of less than 1k.

p/s:i just installed the anti-roll bar. It makes difference esp during cornering. More stable even with greater speed.

Yes, acoustic windshield is much more expensive. My SA said the insurance is around RM400-500 total. Only front & back windshield is covered.

Actually I don't really care, because I already booked last week tongue.gif I'll get the car around next week. So it took around 2 full weeks to for me to get the car.

I just got news from my SA that the Vios stock for December is limited after 15 Dec.
The TRD, GX, and G variant is out of stock. E is limited and J is still available.
For E variant, only Red and Black color is available.

Also anyone who booked Vios after 15 Dec will not be guaranteed to get it this month, unless your loan got approved instantly.
Once your loan is rejected or took too long to process, you will have to wait for January batch.

Do all the dealers stock come from the same warehouse or their own stock pile.
