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~

try this: when u wanna accelerate quickly between 20-50kmh: switch off your aircond
