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.

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!

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.

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...!

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

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

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!

RM2xx also reasonable as it has so many functions, and those functions are so worth the money.

I just placed booking for E variant this morning...

Will need all you guys' help when starting to use the car...

Thanks in advanced.

I got RM6,500 discount + RM500 service voucher, booked last week.

You will also get the following for J variant

Wow... looks like you got even better deal with the purchase.

Your car must be very cool looking with the body kit installed.

By the way, what is the usual "normal" price for a full body coating?

The SA is from Penang, is it ok?

EDIT: Sorry! Thought you referring to my post...

I (intermittently) got this weird beeps too...

I am sure gear were on P, all light were OFF, side mirror closed, air-cond were OFF etc...

Only not so sure if the steering lock were engage or not when I open the driver side door. Normally when we open driver side door, I can hear the built-in steering lock engaging. The only thing I suspect was maybe the steering was not rest properly for the lock to engage so the system warn us by the beep?

Other than that, I really can't think of anything that I've not done properly.

Yes, Penang island.

Yeap! Yeap!
By the way, do you know where to buy Groovy window shades in Penang?

Thanks bro, just sent you a PM.

Do you mind tell me more?
It's ok if you prefer to PM me instead.
Thank you in advanced.

Hi all,

Anyone know how to open the dashboard top cover so that I can see all the fuses, as shown in owner's manual? (Lastest gen Vios) I can't find any guide with Google and YouTube. I don't know if I can use brute force to pry open the cover?

Thank you in advance.

Hi all,

Does anyone know if there's any plug-and-play "socket" or something, that could disable the system prevent video playing and other operation of the audio system while the car is in motion? Maybe Sh@rty 5 have any tips?

Thanks!

I see.... thank you for your clarification, but if you ask me, I would say buy from a shop plus installation is much better (or maybe cheaper) than order online then find a shop to install for me.
