If off engine, defeat the purpose and the objective of the person asking. Wanting to stay in the car without sweating and mosquito bitting..

Distance is not a problem. What you need to do is not driving at constant speed for long, no hard brake and no sudden acceleration. Once milage reached 1k, go for first service and drive as you please afterwards.

If you switch to manual, drive slightly faster then drop 1 gear, does the sound more obvious?

Eh, got different sound leh? I haven't pay any attention to cvt sound apart from the sound I'm currently facing which i slowly ignore. My problem as I'm picking up speed from 0kmh, can hear cvt purring..as you go faster, the purring gone.

I will try yours later and give feedback.

I always refuel before reach E as a precaution if i need my car and i have an emergency.

Refuel immediately once the fuel indicator start blinking.

Never drive until out of fuel. Driving on fuel vapor can damage engine and sensors.

Hard to start probably there's air in fuel line due lack of fuel.

It's a matter of habbit.

My bad, not blinking..just lazy to type proper word. Blinking just came to my mind.

try other SC? was told balakong has good, friedly and attractive SA.

I wonder if she got good bonus last year.

Because not all SC are the same. I have sent my car to various SC. Look for SA with 3S full-fledged. Their service report is much detail and proper equipped. If you problem is solvable, it will be done quickly. Last resort, of course write letter.

I won't go for B, aiming for A at the moment..

My direct answer will be - yes, Toyota is bad and not what I had expected. I hate my Vios on the first day I got the car. And yes, I should have bought Bezza if I know this is the quality it has. And yes, better option would be Honda City - too bad I wasn't aware and given much thought about that car.

I owned foreign cars and local cars as well. Vios is my first Japanese car. I had no major issue with foreign car so you won't see me bashing in the forum. And yes, I do bash my local cars and you can find me in other forum.

This forum has given me much info on problems by others and how to overcome them. Also opportunity to provide help as well.

If i'm such a liar, I won't be wasting my time typing .

#hightechgadgets8# LOL, i will if i owned one.


It is true no car is perfect. But the issue is, how tolerance are we as the owner to own something below our expectations?

We are here to share info. Bashing also an info. It shows the owner's frustration. However, there are some people who simply bash because they hate the brand especially local cars. Even the car hasn't been launched, they already start bashing. It really annoyed to see people bashing something they didn't owned.

Everyone entitled to their own opinion. If you dislike the forum member, you can scroll and skip their posting, it's an easy task. You don't even have to write a letter.

If you see a bashing post, see how it was triggered. In the recent case, there was a member asking question. The answer may sound bashing to you but it answered the question. Please be open minded.

Most of us came here to seek answers and helping others. No point open up forum and bash everyday like has nothing to do. We are civilized people, respect each other. No need to attack and provoke people.

good for you. you are few lucky owners here who did not have any problems. as for the rest of us, we are still seeking solutions for current and forth coming problems.

of course vios is better tha bezza in your perspective. to me personally, depends in which category. in this case, i was talking about quality and qc. with all the problems i had, i took bezza in comparative. similarly, if bezza also got problem it's tolerable because of the price you paid compared to vios.

Few of us have similar problem. Ratling sound from dashboard, went to sc few time still no fix. Had to solve myself. Bird-view camera malfunction, need to waste time at sc and claim for warranty. Sound here and there, still no fix.

Lemon, I don't think so if so many.


Ps. Beribu-ribu lemon

Myself started with local car. At first no ratling sound. After few years, can hear sound coming from here and there, it is expected. Got extra money, bought a foreign D segmen car. Sound-proof, well insulated and well padded, as anticipated. For missus, got a foreign B segmen car. Also not disappointing.

Never had Japanese car before. So i get Vios for daily commute for its fuel saving and long lasting engine. To my disappointment, day one already got sound here and there. So by now, you might understood my frustrations.

And also why i made comparison between vios and bezza. I just need fuel saving and reliable engine. Now you know..

yeah, don't want to mess with warranty. they will try and find any reason to void our warranty. each time we went for a service, sa will note down any additional accessories or any devices we installed.

no sure how the toyota rear cam works. still with no audio? may be i install one. not to solve tailgating problem that is, because i hardly kena...

main reason people tailgating you is because you didn't drive properly. i know because i do it sometimes. i don't give a damn if the front person installed a rear camera. i have my camera as well. see which camera prove who's at fault.

and you also sounded the same. peace bro, respect other. not all posts everybody like. we are here to get info not bashing other people. however, you can bash the brand. LOL. as long you don't involve other people's wife/husband/family, i think that is ok.

all posting are welcome. everybody entitle to their opinion. provocative post totally not welcome..

time to contact sc. toyota should give special package for existing owner.

I can comment on above questions only.

3. The CVT
CVT, meant for fuel saving not for performance. The system make use of variable pulley ratio. There is no real gear in CVT. In CVT, the only time you can feel the fix ratio is when you switch to manual shifting and when you press hard on accelerator.

4. Traction Control (Slippery control to your understanding)
ABS/TRC/VSC - features that manipulate braking system.

ABS - Anti-lock braking system
Activated when braking on slippery road

TRC - Traction Control
Activated when accelerating on slippery road

VSC - Vehicle Stability Control
Activated when do cornering to prevent skid.

Just leave them on. Turning them off does not improve performance but only lead to disaster.
