For me, usually i wipe surfaces with extra care by ownself using good 100% microfiber cloth also got light scratches..
apply waxing and problem rectify.. Seldom wipe dashboard, gear cover and steering.. I also Never send out Vios for car wash, except 1st 1000km service free wash by SC. Hmm..

I notice premium car wash shop may able to find solution for yr car gear cover scratches.. otherwise, leave it, or get SC to get cover part number and price to change the cover only or dismantle the cover, spray another color??
so sorry, but continue asking for best fix from premium car wash or accs shop.

Show us yr car photo if couldn't resist too.. Any added features or tools ? How useful you find 360 degrees camera in yr car?

IMHO, all specs should nice RIM and skirting as standard variants..

CVT .. About the same 440 - 465km full tank using city road only. ron97 petrol. No highway..

Full tank = 42 liters.. Usually pump petrol b4 reaching last single bar..

About 35 - 37 liters.. Ron97 price 2.46 X 35liters = rm 86
Rm 86 / 35 liters = 13.15 per liter.. .

1st time calculate the mileage, as Petrol price fluctuates every week.. not sure about ron95 mileage, as I don't pump it.
CVT fuel consumption is 18% better than predecessor engine.

AIRBAG - Protection or Harmful ?
1. How effective, efficient and confidence?
2. Why need to have 10inch safety net gap? Front, Knee - OK, Side, roof - Pose safety hazard?
3. Design is more complex and complicated, that just apply airbags?
4. USA/European automotive car manufacturer emphasize more design and safety than others car manufacturer?

not sure, but for me, I visited and searched many tires shops, cannot find GX rim in town, city, online for 2 - 3 weeks..

Put deposit and order GX sport rim from Service Centre, within 3 - 4 business days, rim arrives at SC, immediately get it install and quick donated out 5months old original rim plus bring it to friend house, to be fitted on advanza car later..
Use back original 15inch tires and tire center cap..

New 2018 Myvi sport rim got DUAL tone paint and will be outshines Vios J, E and G with many safety features.new 2018 Accord skip 2.0cc, opt 2.4cc. All city /hrv spec come with nice rim.. wake up call for UMW Toyota, to reduce many specs, maintain good STD spec or better safety/accessories/aerokit + rim.. skip optional upgrade items..give it all..

If you go to car paint shop, they can do the spray job using nippon high gross paint with black colour.. the after effect is subjective, but go to reputable shop, with many big cars..and not sure whether they will accept small rim task? Unless charging good labour workmanship..

But, the shinny chrome parts at the GX rim that built up at rim manufacturer is the KEY indicator of the whole rim..

rim

total = 1541, with labour cost, gst,10k service, optional tyres alignment and balancing..
Since 10k service is optional for tyres rotate,i go ahead change to GX rim at SC and together with tyre alignment and balancing..use back genuine 15inch tyre and center tyre cap.
Make sure service advisor order correct part number.. see below :-

For me, I think 1100 is quite reasonable price compared to SC quote, and I go ahead and changed it just 3 months old car, without 2nd thought as my earlier budget entitled it. Should be std aerokit materials and ask for GX aerokit photos if any, from accs shop..

Perhaps you should have add the below to become "real" GX car from exterior design view:-
1. Genuine Front chrome grill bar. 400 from SC, Accs shop 180 - 300 used..
2. G EMBLEM / Logo cost 44, big X EMBLEM /Logo cost 77. Order from SC.
3. Front small headlamp(parking light) and rear number plate bulbs to nice white LED bulbs.

For interior, just remains genuine completely.

When Msians buy car, always see the cost FIRST, design and gadgets.. not safety features, comfortable..
Later upgrade step by step gradually.. Hmm...

Beginning got the new car, many colleagues want to seat my new car go out for lunch... go through bump slightly fast a bit, struck sound noise.. Will not have struck issue if not full load packed with ppls.. nowadays, Will always drive slightly slow reaching bump with FULL load ppls.. as u knew CVT style/behaving.
It is common driving style to slow down for all cars when reaching bump?

Agreed..Sometime, car owners want to get better safety features like rear brake DISC or better NVH like acoustic windshield, their spouse or family member will make noises / veto car owners about the 6 - 10k difference and cost avoidance saving between specs...

Fuel efficiency, smooth driving experience, variable transmission, accelerating, gear / rpm ratios match speed / road conditions.

Saw in mudah.My today, GX got 9.3k discount. Nicer sport rim if choosing GX model vs G spec.

Saw many advertisements in mudah, many discount > 9k..
Some got special door to door delivery service too.. Check it out in mudah .

Yes, GX leather seat color is too much.. I don't like it.

For me only, exterior design(bodykit + rim) is more priority than interior(leather). Others more priority are rear DISC brake and main / front acoustic windshield..

That's the reason many bought lower specs and later upgrade it to GX 's aerokit, RIM, front grille chrome..etc. UMW TOYOTA should include these as STD spec, as new 2018 cars will surprisingly outshine on the road, with better many features.

What is your priority, if you are choosing between exterior(aerokit, RIM) and interior(leather, HU, speedometer) ?

1. Using genuine Toyota full synthetic oil, SN 5W - 40 black oil ?? Or semi synthetic oil??

2. RON 95, RON 97, Petronas, BHP, Petron, Shell ??

3. Always Press pedal, slowly.. No rushing / high pickup type??
