Yaya.. I going stage by stage.

If budget allowed, I might go for GX rim, I like the design of the rim which got straight spoke with dual tone color, while TRD got dual tone too, but with spiral spoke.

Great pick on GX sport rim. Make sure your body skirting is also GX aerokit
To match the GX sport rim..how about dvr recording ? Do it gradually when budget allows. White colour bulbs for bonnet cabin, interior light when open doors, and car reverse light??

I drove from KL to SG, and back to KL. RON97, Shell about 40l petrol consumed.
The FC is about 19km/l.
It is highway drive. My Vios is 14k km now.
For the city drive with heavy jam every morning and evening during peak hour, the FC is about 12-13km/l. i think it is reasonable.

Yea. First would be skirting. Rim will be after, but that also will see if budget allowed.

Yea. The bulbs also, but will do it gradually.. haha..

Btw, have you try tint your tail lamp with black or grey smoke effect film? I believe it also match well with our car..

wow!! Impressive!

40 litre means your tank almost empty cause VIOS tank is 42 litre only. Have you capture where is your fuel indicator level when you fuel up? Possible next time I also can have a try on it. Use it till almost empty tank then only refill. Cause currently whenever see the warning indicator lights up, straight away go refuel liao. xD

For current RON 97 price = RM 2.39/liter.

VIOS tank capacity is 42 liter. Assume you need to top up 38 liter, 38 x RM 2.39 = RM 90.82. I believe VIOS always reserve some fuel around at least 5 liter left only the warning indicator lights up.

Mine City 50% + Highway 30% + Kampung road 20% = 500KM +- per tank. RON97 Caltex.
Haven't tested fully city drive.

wow !!! my vios 2013 which is not the Dual VVTI engine only manage to get 350-360km with RON 95/RON 97 in city driving. Highway of course more than city (almost 650km++)

Is it normal for my vios ?

Order from Service Centre(SC), need to include tyre alignment and balancing.GX rim is machine polished, and look great. Use back genuine 4x center cap.

No need to tint the tail lamp or main headlamp, as tint film will peel off and hard to sustain. Waste effort and $..

My 4x GX Rim ordered and installed at Toyota Service Centre(SC) in May 2017..
Capture the online umw computer system and part number.
Go and ask for GX Rim at service centre... if they cannot find the part number, provide GX Rim p/n to spare part person or service advisor person.

Please share how you compare? Pricing and spec?
*
Firstly is the interior.
Mazda 2 best sporty / stylish interior with black leather + red stitching. + Those round air-con outlet reminiscing of old school sports car. (But those infotainment panels, i can only imagine my toddler ripping it apart)
Honda City is most gadgety interior, Nice clean finish with a lot of digital panel, no more manual knobs. Fancy
Vios is just.. typical. While the exterior looks nice, the interior is mostly plastic finish & doesn't look refined at all.

Secondly pricing. I compared between Vios G, City V & Mazda 2 (no variant)
Didn't get a pricing on Mazda 2 afterI test drive the car and the interior is too small for my family (me, wife, 2 babies) and 10+ years of expected usage.
Vios G is about 85k
City V is about 88k the only 1 that hv cruise control + body kit and yada yada yadaa

Test drive quality: Mazda 2 > Honda City > Vios

All in all, i chose City V for the big interior, all them specs, and quality of finish.
