It is 2 years old now. Last month was its birthday

Thank you all for the useful info!

Lately i noticed my 2014 vios FC is quite high, 11km for 1 litre. anyone has same issue as mine?

Hi, anyone here uses F-Tuned CLS for their NCP150? Need some verdict on it before I install one. And I heard some people saying after changing the stock spring, your car will start having rattling noise etc. Is that true? Awaiting all sifus reply and feedback.

OK guys, I heard from my salesman the new VIOS will be launch on 24th Jan and it came with skirting for all variants. Previously they letting us choose between skirting (which needs to top up RM800) or free 1 year service but now no more free 1 year free service. It is really true all variant came with skirting because normally they won't do that. I personally hate the skirting bcoz the skirting is not really that good. Anyone has more info on the new VIOS?

Seems like it is the battery faulty.
My sister had asked the battery sales person to check since it is only 3 months bought the battery.
They bring back the battery to charge.
But can we just leave the car without battery?
What car setting will be lost?
For sure radio preset channel will be lost.
What else need to concern?

No much concern. My battery was removed for days while in workshop. Like u said, only the clock and other settings on the radio will be reset.
Also,.check the condition on the alternator. When was the last time it was overhauled, since it's a 2005 model.
Mine's a 2004

Thanks for the advice.
The alternator was never overhauled/changed.
You had changed yours?
If needed to repair/change, is it expensive?

It depends.on your driving style, range, area

Hello Sifus, my 2-DIN DVD-Radio on my 2018 Vios E will sometimes reset itself. Happened 3 times since collected the car in June last year. Anybody know what's wrong?

i got this few days ago. its the easiest way to know your current battery status. also, this is the cheapest ones among other sellers. i bought two.
i havent actually measure it using a voltmeter but its a point of reference at the moment.

I overhauled my engine few years back and loving my vios by the day. its an old model but it has its value.

its either your sister sell the VIOS when the value is still there OR start overhauling.
if u see my post earlier on, ive change the entire suspension system.

no threads on the new Vios 2018?

anything can post here, this still is vios thread. or you can go open new thread for 2019 vios

updating 2nd post with pics of vios old gen, pls correct me if im wrong on the models or years

OK this is what I know about new Vios 2019:

1. Launching date on 24th Jan 2019
2. Early bird getting free bodykit upgrade for all variants. (No more free 1 year service)
3. Some showroom already have the demo car.

accessories quite cun compare to City
blind sport indicator at side mirrors (E & G), dash cam in all specs, panoramic view reverse camera, footlight included in all specs

I went to the showroom to see the new VIOS 2019 G Spec and here is my impression:

Pros:
1. Better looking than the on-going model (subjective)
2. Steering wheel feels great and quality
3. Leather quality is OK and comfy
4. MID is nice to have
5. Came with pre-applied tinted (not sure about the quality and spec)
6. NVH better than the on-going model (maybe it is still new)

Cons:
1. Came with bodykit (the front looks ugly IMO)
2. A lot of hard plastic. The side driver door when pressed the plastic will flex easily.
3. The center armrest is quite limited. The space utilization on the center tunnel is not great IMO.
4. Handbrake looks cheap
5. Very limited rear passenger headroom. (I am 5ft11in, it is uncomfortable where my head almost touching the roof, my hair is sweeping the roof though)
6. Center console design could be better bcoz there are a lot of empty surface which could be replace with some design or bigger buttons
7. The quality of 360 camera on the touch screen display is quite poor. Very low quality but still nice to have
8. The equipped wiper is also low quality

Overall, it is still a very good car for its price but I really hope they give us an option to exclude the bodykit. I have booked the car on last december but the bodykit really a turnoff.

Note: The car will make a beep beep sound for no reason. The salesman said the sound came from the blind spot indicator function but there was no car besides me, so weird!!! Then I saw a video saying it is because of the DVR is reminding you to insert a memory card into it, so I really wonder if the front camera unit went kaput will it triggers the beepbeep sound again.

Guys, I need to go for 2nd service which is actually for 5000km although I only hit 3000 now. Anyway, what should I expect for 2nd service and how much is the service?

If need to change oil, continue with semi syn or full syn better?

What else need to do or need to lookout?

Also, I realise that my aircond switches off the coldness quite frequently, especially if I accelerate suddenly and the eco light goes off. I can feel the air blowing out is cool but only for a few seconds then the cold air will be back. Is this normal?

One accident involved vios and cx5 was happened on Penang bridge. Clearly the vios "buang" at very high speed

Well mustang "buang" at very low speed.



I hope the driver got sentence for life. Poor Mazda cx-5 driver (and whoever was in it). Have they found it yet?
