Guys, I just collected my Vios E yesterday.. Overall it's a decent car with very smooth and linear acceleration.. Like it very much.. However there is one thing which keeps me quite annoyed for a while.. Have you guys experienced something like this about the PVM.. Whenever I switched from P to D, the PVM will pops up, and I need to hold the PVM button below the aircond console for few seconds to turn it off.. Any other workaround to disable this features? I prefer that the PVM will only pops up when I manually the push the PVM button OR when I switch to R gear.. but the R gear also the same, after switch from R to D, the PVM still on.. which is quite annoying, any idea guys?

Thanks.

Wondering the new vios with 7 speed gear. If normal driving at D position, will use all 7 gear? Or need to shift to semi auto?
*
Been driving it for a week, I tried manual mode, push all the way to 7th gear and note the RPM on that speed, then I switched back to D mode, which surprisingly that the RPM are lower than when you are in 7th speed semi auto.
Driving using normal D mode emphasize more on fuel efficiency (ECO mode lights on) while semi auto mode give you more dynamic feel (ECO mode lights off). Overtaking car using semi auto mode is easy and responsive.

Thx for your clarification. Meaning normal D mode is 7 speed gear.
Coz few years back, i drive my friend's camry 2.4. I need to switch semi auto for higher gear ratio.
*
I see.. that's why switching to semi auto while overtaking car give your car more "ooomph" to go.. haha..
Personally I like the semi auto mode much.

aint that so called 7 speed is 7 virtual speed?
*
Yeap. It is virtual simulated by computer, however I not sure if the gear ratio(virtual) is manipulated by speed or it is fixed to the speed.
Because when I cruising at 80km/h, using semi auto 7th gear give me 1.6k rpm reading, and after I switched back to D mode, it dropped to 1.2k rpm.

Bro, i going to get the J spec which doesnt come with Multi display. What is in the multi display? Can share? Thx
*
Basically, below are the functions for multi display (DVD-AVX)
1. DVD player
2. Panoramic view display (E spec above)
3. USB.
4. FM/AM
5. AUX input
6. Voice command (command such as play next song, etc)
7. Bluetooth audio

Personally I think if you are not so keen into the panoramic view and reverse camera, then get the J spec is enough.
Now the price is RM 4K difference between J and E spec.

4K price difference, you get
1. Panoramic view with reverse camera.
2. MultiDisplay (touch screen)
3. Front fog light
4. Retractable side mirror (w/ signal indicator)
5. Rear arm rest with cup holders.
6. 60:40 split rear seat.

Yes. That one called MID (Multi Info Display), which show you remaining distance you can travel with current petrol, average fuel consumption etc.

But I personally don't find it really useful all the time.

1. You won't got that free time to keep on monitoring all these after awhile.
2. Remaining distance is just rough calculation from ECU, don't drive until 0km left only pump petrol, you can just refer to the fuel tank indicator.
3. Average fuel consumption, J & E spec can just use the trip A to calculate a rough fuel consumption based on how much petrol you pumped, how long the distance travelled.

Totally agree with your points especially No.3

It is really up to personal budget and needs. I opt for E spec due to it's 60:40 split rear seat and fitted with bit of tech features such as 360 camera, front fog light, retractable side mirror, rear seat arm rest with cup holder.

Just ask SA explain the differences for each spec and you can make up your mind from there.

Anyone been to Wing Hin 4S SC at the Balakong there before? How is the service quality over there? From FB page, it seems more unsatisfactory than satisfaction.

Already make booking for my 1st service. Some questions cross my mind.

1. I make the booking via phone app, which shows estimated RM159(inclusive of GST) for the first service. However, I find the maintenance package on the Toyota website were not so tally with the price that quoted in app. Anyone been done their first service recently? Mind to shed some light on this? How much it normally cost?

2. This is the 3rd week since I got my car, however, there is a rattling noise coming from the passenger side pillar/dashboard there. It only make noise when the car is moving, even on flat even road it also will make the noise. I prefer to highlight this issue during my service. Is it okay to do so? Or I need to have another round of booking with them just to diagnose the rattling noise problem?

3. HU keep reset at random time. Anyone reported and get the issue solved?

Thanks.

I estimate my car mileage this weekend will be 700km. Need to go back hometown this weekend. I called toyota cheras and they advise me to come service the following weekend. Over 1000km is fine as long within the month.
Is the info correct?
*
I think should be correct. Mine 3rd week already, clocked 750km++.. If go back home town plus return trip definitely would exceed the 1000km mileage already. So this weekend make a booking for 1st service, and going back hometown next weekend.. hehe..
