Wonder if can only change the suspension kit?
also i wonder if they give better tyre than cc5 on normal vios

i meant the tyres that comes with the car, not the one SC is selling.
since it is a sport edition, i was wondering if they put in other tyres, since CC5 isnt exactly a performance tyre.

i want to change, any accessories can change?
but then Toyota SC sure put a remark when i service the car
even i cut out some coil mate that i have and put on top of the toyota car mat also they put note saying i'm using others' mat other than Toyota's

yes, they put a remark that says something like this: For safety something, please use original toyota mat. No other mat are required.
Something like that.
of course using additional mat shouldn't void any warranty, but SC might put remark of things that you might changed into their system

During service, i thought they are suppose to turn on your lights, including rear tail lights to make sure that it is working.

I might change the rear tail light to LED, after warranty and if there are nice design.
Who knows, maybe just maybe the 2017 Thailand Vios rear tail light is suitable for current MY vios (i know the chance is slim)


i didnt take a photo, though my latest FC is the best i have yet
525km, around 31.2 l
just pump just now

Total ODO is 2.8k


so tempted to change

I'my more into the Vios 2017 Thailand rear light

from the outlook, it does look it can fit into MY Vios, but i could be wrong.
and if it does fit, it might look strange due to the chrome placement

really? didnt know about that. Guess that's the reason why they made a remark there.

it all depends on the buyer's need
I do agree that the V spec honda city is very tempting - with LED headlights and rear tailights, paddle shifts, 16" rims, 6 air bags

but at the same time, vios does come with some good spec as well such as rear disc brake, tint, DVR, 360 camera

in the end i chosen vios, because of those things included above seems more practical for my usage.
sure i would like to have 6 airbags (are you listening toyota?), LED, and paddle shifts

but with vios, i dont need to think about tinting - no need go shop and wait for them to install or worry about JPJ. The included tint is actually good enough. not sure if honda salesperson help to install for free now (i was offered vouchers instead) but i dont need to fork out additional $$$ for tinting.
DVR already installed - no need worry about hiding cabling, or warranty if get 3rd party accessory shop to install
360 camera - some may argue dont need 360 camera for b-segment car, but there are times when i found it very useful especially parking

and other things like reliability (not to say honda is bad or anything, but my dad use to own a toyota liteace van, which was driven more than 15 years, and i had a 1st gen vios, which was bought from second hand, 2004 car, until i trade in for the new vios) and (slightly?) less QC issue, as everyone is getting a honda nowdays

also, outdated or not, i actually prefer knob over touch screen for the aircon controller (1 thing though, the knob could use a more modern looking design)
i found knob are easier to "feel" and change without looking at it, especially when driving.

~just my opinion~

I'm officially poisoned, now you really made me want to change all my light bulbs, including rear to LED.
but not really familiar with changing light bulb

that's why airbags is as important as rear brake disc.
no matter how safely you drive on the road, there are times when accidents are caused by others.

guys, need your opinion / suggestion:
which service center do you guys recommend?
going for 5k service soon.

need the SC to check few things:
-HUD language reset issue
-during jam, pressing the brake can hear some sound
-kinda loud "fan" sound, with or without aircon
-rough engine sound when driving within 30-50kph or rpm around 1 - 1.5k

nanti the service centre reply "normal, is like this, nothing is wrong".
planning to go on a week day to have it check

not really a gesek sound but rather a sound from the brake pedal

Done 5k service this morning
informed the SA about my small issues and hopefully it is solved

they are selling the TRD rims for around 1.8k

I asked them if i could change to their DVD-AVN, it seems like it can only be opt-in during purchasing the car, cant switch later on
guess i'm stuck with this DVD-AUX for 5 years if i want to keep the warranty

if my memory serves me right, it looks like 2014 trd rims
dont think include new tyres, most likely just for the rims, with balancing and alignments

i didnt ask about changing outside, maybe next 10k service will ask more
most likely the wiring warranty, but my worry would be 360 camera, should anything happen like no gambar, later blame on the changes made, dont matter if the new infotainment is really the root of the issue

I wonder if there's any third party infotainment system that support android play as well as the vios 360 camera

i know it is going to be expensive
currently is there any 3rd party players that support 360 camera?


how about the wiring?
I know plug and play shouldnt kacau anything but then

not sure if you experience the same thing as me, but during acceleration with the speed around 30-50, i do notice the engine sound is more "rough"
when i hear the noise, i usually step a little more on the gas pedal, and the sound will be gone
so now during jam, i just let the car roll in D, and step on the gas pedal when i more space to accelerate (of course not too slow until affect other cars as well)

most likely
and if the reverse camera is showing the rear screen, press the 360 button, the screen will show the "wide angle", which should be almost similar to honda wide angle reverse cam
even the FL city seems to be similar model HU with vios (though city dont have CD/DVD), so i wouldnt be surprised if they same the same OEM vendor

i noticed mine sometimes the passenger side DRL is a little more yellowish compared to driver side.
but it dont always happen, so i leave it as it first.
though i might let SC know of the issue at 10k service.

I do notice that the angle plays a part as well the refection from other cars, but there was this 2 times, when i notice the yellowish DRL.
Both time during the same scenario: I started my car in the morning, when i open the front gate, i noticed the difference in colour. i was standing in front of the car.

i did the alignment and balancing during my 10k service, but they didnt replace the chamber nut or screw.

but my last 2004 vios did change chamber nut once, as it has already "cracked" (or the shape has deformed, cant remember)

guys, for those who purchase their vios in 2017, how much is the sum insured when you renew your car insurance?

My spec is GX, and i was quoted quite low.

i did expect depreciation, only didnt expect it was a very high depreciation

AIG

i was quoted around there too, but able to increase to 70k
