I think thats acceptable for this price range.. my vios 2021 also can hear when going thru those yellow/red lines
Yes, very acceptable. Just done my 1k service last week and my first time at Toyota, I must say it's a much pleasant experience servicing at Toyota compared to Honda. The crowd is less and the waiting time is less. Plus Toyota don't try to upsell you unnecessary items such as fuel saver pills, sanitizer spray etc. Some other items Honda forced you to take are brake cleaner, window channel lubricant at almost every service... not sure if toyota has the same in my coming services?
Plus they include a free car wash after the service, Honda used to have it but removed it after MCO...
Also managed to fix my hard to close car boot... i think they changed the rubber stopper to smaller ones and it solved the problem.

Are continental tires good compared to michelin's? I have used xm2 on my other cars but i see now continental got promo. Planning to change my toyo tires to xm2+ soon
I had XM2 on my city before, good when new but the noise gets horrible after a year of use... moved on to toyo Proxes CR1 and it was worse but at a cheaper price.
When I got my Civic it came with Conti MC5 and those were bad too, when I manage to swap them with MC6 it was so good and they say its 70% of what Mic PS4 could do at a much cheaper price. So I tried Conti UC7 on my 2010 City and loving its balance between handling and comfort. It grips well in both dry and wet at avg speed of 80kmph (unker liao, don't speed anymore with a bb in the car). Same time offers a comfy and quiet ride on my 2010 honda city!
Then this year I got the G spec vios which came default in Conti premium contact C! So far driven it on DUKE, Penchala, AKLEH and mostly on MRR2. I think these tires are more on the comfort side which is close to the UC7, but grip on the UC7 seems to be better... could not tell them apart on noise levels though... Would go for the UC7 if i were to change my next set of tires in the future as there are more promo on UC7.
Speaking of promo, I bought my conti's from their shopee official store and have them fitted at a shop in damansara perdana. It was easy as everything was included. Buy from shopee, choose your shop and make the appointment. Download the conti TCP app and visit the shop at the day of appointment. The shopee purchase includes alignment, balancing, and valves already. After the installation, use the conti TCP app to register the 5 years warranty and 1 year accident protection and you are good to go!
