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)


Want to change it to led light like this?

or this?

I'my more into the Vios 2017 Thailand rear light
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

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

The only different that i can see is the chrome is thinner in the new 2017 Thailand Vios. but the placement is the same so it should be not much problem fitting and probably still look nice. Is it LED tho?

Proton is better than Honda?? Is it true?

Maybe the customer expectation for Honda is high and they got mediocre customer service.

I'm getting my medium silver vios soon. What color combination  works best? Just black (like black rims, tint, etc).

Previously I'm thinking of getting black but need to wait 1 month lol

I got a medium silver one too... In my opinion, the GX Trim is perfect for this car.

Firstly is the interior.
Mazda 2 best sporty / stylish interior with black leather + red stitching. + Those round air-con outlet reminiscing of old school sports car. (But those infotainment panels, i can only imagine my toddler ripping it apart)
Honda City is most gadgety interior, Nice clean finish with a lot of digital panel, no more manual knobs. Fancy
Vios is just.. typical. While the exterior looks nice, the interior is mostly plastic finish & doesn't look refined at all.

Secondly pricing. I compared between Vios G, City V & Mazda 2 (no variant)
Didn't get a pricing on Mazda 2 afterI test drive the car and the interior is too small for my family (me, wife, 2 babies) and 10+ years of expected usage.
Vios G is about 85k
City V is about 88k the only 1 that hv cruise control + body kit and yada yada yadaa

Test drive quality: Mazda 2 > Honda City > Vios

All in all, i chose City V for the big interior, all them specs, and quality of finish.
*
cool cool, never knew that City V comes with bodykit but don't expect good aftersale service from them

and be wary of current honda quality control

Did you guys encounter "kluk" sound when you hit speed bump a bit hard?. It seems like suspension or other thing?

Search back few pages and city owners discussed adding extra rubber sealing to reduce noise when in interior cabin. Can go to accs shop to do.

One of us got mod for extra sealing and he comment there's some small improvement.

Daun pisang to reduce stone and gravel hitting body.
Tyre type also help. Pressure I think only for your FC

Really fedup with Honda malaysia after sales service, sent in my City V facelift to Honda sg long due to steering knocking noise, problem went away for couple days then returned. Decided to send to Honda chan sow lin because near to my office, so they tighten some screw or something, problem went away for few days then return back. Today send in again to Honda chan sow lin and guess what, the technician said its normal, even said all city got same knocking noise, they even let me try their customer city steering, i told them the the customer city totally no knocking sound at all, and the technician answer me, its normal knocking noise for all Honda car. Really regretted buying this Honda.
Anyone know which SC good at fixing this steering problem?

Haha, that's the reason why we end up bought different car. For me, cruise control, 4 additional airbags, better fuel consumption is way more practical. These are the things that u cant install urself after u bought the car.

For tint, camera etc, you can top up anytime u want. My 2 cents.
*
Yeah, different people different taste, but new Vios actually have a better fuel consumption and you can't install rear disc brake on a whim either. I used to owned a proton Preve, and i actually loved that car. Great handling and braking power and also nice to look at. The only problem with it is reliability and it sink into my pocket deeper than Mariana Trench. After that, reliability is the first thing i look when buying a new car. Toyota and Vios has a good track record, high resale value and I kinda like the way it look.

Hi sifus,
I wonder what is the 'slit-like' small opening located next to the AT shift?
*
Vios doesn't have a button to push to change the gear, you need to press the brake to change it and it only work when the vehicle is turn on and you can't change it while the power is off for safety reason. in case of emergency, you can unlock the gear by opening the 'slit-like' using something like a screwdriver and then push it to enable Shift Lock Release so you can change the gear even when the vehicle is out of power.

like this

Hi Vios sifus,

Hope to get some helpful advice from this community and learn from everybody since this is my first car.

Guys, your views. For a medium silver vios, what skirting would look best? TRD, latest TRD or GX?

I used to have a white car, very nice to look at but a hassle to keep it clean. So I decided on medium silver for easy maintenance and it just looks cool imho.

Extra Steering lock will only delay, slow and perhaps make thief change his plan, if there is nearby same Vios car didn't hv extra security lock.. Aim car got no extra security lock..

Yes, I wholeheartedly agree.

For the sport rim, less frequent to clean and wipe, as it is machine polish RIM.. Always darker bright rim..

Since the car is new and new paint, NO NEED to do coating @ car wash shop.
Get good wax cleaning tool from AEON, GIANT shopping and touch up..
Get 100% microfiber cloth and spare water in bottle, put into car bonnet =506 liter. Let get exercise and hardwork sustainability to ensure brightness at all times..

If so, is the exhaust pipe in the picture real? And how do you fit it with gx bbodykit?

Show us yr car photo if couldn't resist too.. Any added features or tools ? How useful you find 360 degrees camera in yr car?

IMHO, all specs should nice RIM and skirting as standard variants..
*
I have 360 degrees camera and tbh it was quiet useful. I know vios isn't a large car but Malaysia have a very small parking space, especially parking inside a building. It was a godsend especially for someone who live in an apartment, like me. It need some getting used to but overall, i like it a lot.
