I found mine improve after 10k service. Think becoz of fully syn engine oil.
Easily reach 400km and above.

i bought my vios e spec last month and now already drive about 500km. here`s my quick sharing of my thought about this car.

the good:
1) easy to drive~ light steering & no problem to get used to it when upgrade from small car~
2) i like the look of this 3rd gen vios (even compared to the latest facelift version in thailand), althou not as sharp as city but "tahan tengok"~ haha~
3) cvt transmission gives smooth ride due to no physical gear change~ there is manual mode for overtaking and climbing hills~
4) cabin space is not the largest in segment B but still consider spacious~ sufficient head & leg room~ rear seat comes with arm rest~
5) 360 view camera its useful when you wanna park into a tight spot~ but most of the time i am still relying on the side mirror~
6) cruising at 80-90km/h the rpm is only at about 1500rpm~ so less engine noise heard compared to my old myvi~
7) smart entry is pretty convenient~ active safety features such ESC+ABS+TC is all i need in daily drive~ no other complicated thingy so less worry~
8) two usb ports given for handphone charging~ you can turn the 12v socket to usb if not enough~
9) the seats are quite comfortable~ i like the black colored dashboard~ easy to maintain~
10) the head unit position is high~ this is important for me as my sight is not totally divert away from the road when i look at the screen while driving. if you have budget go for G variant, there is button on the steering and you can control the HU without looking at the screen~
11) digital video recorder comes ready in my vios, so i dont have to waste money to get a aftermarket one~
12) basic solar tint included during purchase & full size spare tire~ 

the but:
1) throttle feel is weak~ probably is due to the engine is tuned to be more fuel efficient i guess~
2) the cvt noise is clearly heard when u stomp the gas pedal~ acceleration comes after sound~
3) feel lack of power between 30km/h to 60km/h, after 60 is ok~ still acceptable for me as i have the same feel with my old myvi~
4) lock/unlock car no alarm sound~ hard to find car in case forget where i park~
5) no alarm triggered if boot trunk is accidentally opened or not closed properly~
6) no temperature gauge~ only two blue & red color icon to tell you whether your engine is cold or overheat~

overall i am happy with my car~ choose what u love, love what u choose~  smile.gif

I notice this in my VIOS, have a rough sound when the car accelerate/decelerate between speed 10 km/h to 30 km/h.
Any people have this experience, I had ask SC from telok panglima garang,shah alam to check, they said is normal noise from CVT.

Isn't true? because it's like a old car sound.
Any advise?

Help, my vios 2014, spec G, have this annoying rattling noise coming from the steering wheel.

I Dismantled the Airbag/horn unit, the side buttons with it's plastic housing, and when i tap even the slightest, there's this metal rattling sound. Kind of like a loose nut/ washer .

I sent to Toyota Service Center, they first say it was the airbag/horn unit, which if replace, need a whooping 5K.

So i opted to keep using. but lately it got worse.

After i seperate the Airbag/horn and keep away from the steering, i tap, the sound still there. but from i touch and look around the steering, there's no visible loose parts.

The noise appear when the car in motion, or hit the uneven roads, smooth roads, or in between up and down speeds/climbing speeds...



Anyone know which part is the culprit?

Thanks

and sorry for the long text.

Congrats.. Show us yr new car photo here..

Remember to put super white LED bulbs for front small lamp and number plate bulbs, to become even more nicer.. ACCS shop should be able to open and change these bulbs, if you reluctant to make changes DIY for new car..

Yeap biggrin.gif - white LED all around since I'm getting the white model. Wonder if warranty will void if changing the tail lamp. Smoked tail lamp.
