Hi guys.

Would like to ask whether who had installed Touch and Go at the SC?
If install, have to open the dashboard, etc.?
Will it cause dashboard rattling sound?
How about the Digital Video Recorder?
Also need to go through the same procedure?

Hi,

For those who own vios G Spec and above, would like to ask about the leather seat as below:

1) After long hot sunny day, will the seat get very hot until not comfortable to sit on it? How about on cold/rainy days?

2) Will the seat get crack easily? If yes, roughly after how many years?

3) Need constant care for the leather seat? For example apply some chemical or something? Or just need to wipe with damp cloth from time to time?

Still undecided whether want to go for G or E.
Never own a leather seat car before.

I own G Spec Vios year 2014. The Beige/Black variant. To answer your questions as above :

1) After long hot Sunny day , the seat won't get that hot, but it's best not to give it as much as sunlight ( The leather can dry and crack )
. You just need to open door and cool it down for few minutes and can sit on it.
Rainy/Cold days is the best one, the seat is cold , very comfortable to sit on.

2) I have used it for 4 years and still in 9/10 condition. The only real leather is the perforated leather. The side , the headrest, the backs, sides, all is PU. You have to be very cautious of sharp objects and coarse surfaces. Things like paper is a big no no . Paper can be very sharp since it can cut fingers if not careful, so refrain from placing documents or any papers.

3) You just need to use leather conditioner found in supermarkets once in a while, it has the chemical to keep the leather moisture and also clean smudges from daily uses. If it's not too dirty, use microfiber cloth ( safer on leathers ) from time to time, the water can also helps keep the real leather moisture.

Leather seats is comfortable to sit , easy to clean, less dusty.

Fabric seats generally is more durable ( no worries of cracks ), can be slight dusty, a bit hard to clean if spilled with stains like beverages and food sauces. but if taken care regularly by vacuum and wipe with damp cloth, they can be very easy to care.

Went to a few AEON Jusco to look for car products (car shampoo, wax, cloth etc.)
Unfortunately, found that they either do not have car products or the product choices are limited.
Wondering where can find a wide varieties of car products?
Used to go to ENEOS where there were many choices.
But ENEOS already closed down. sad.gif

that is normal. booking fee just to book the car. deposit you pay if didn't get 100% loan. deposit is the different (total car price - loan amount - rebate). after pay deposit then only they register the car - provided your loan already approved.

if you not happy with the car, don't sign the acceptance letter. immediately make a complaint.

Just curious about the process of register car registration number at JPJ.
Need car to arrive first, then can register the number at JPJ? (If one choose not to "buy" car number.)

Another thing, yesterday i was in a rush and was driving at a constant high speed and high RPM.. After reaching home, and leaving the car at idling.. can hear 'tak tak' sound from exhaust.. is this normal?
*
1K service only change the engine oil, right?
Did they open up something? or else how come noise appear suddenly?

About the auto fold wing mirror, everytime lock/unlock, the wing mirror will fold/unfold. If like this the mechanism will fail easily, I think. Anyone would like to share their experience? I mean how long will it last before the mechanism fail.

Also if some naughty people fold/unfold the wing mirror manually at the car park, will it break the mechanism?

I am not sure if you can just change the motor by itself or not or need to change whole set..

And i believe if the mirror is being fold/unfold manually, the mechanism will break.. As previously i've accidentally knocked someone's side mirror(Honda Civic FD) and the whole mirror went loose.. and need to replace the entire side mirror set..

Noted. Thanks.

you can't force fold it, it will break..

everything comes with 5 years warranty right? so if the motor not working anymore within 5 years I think still can change it for free?

anyway, I would rather keep folding it and let the motor die than let someone force close it and spoil the whole thing and god knows how much more the damage can be and worst still if we don't know who is the culprit.
*
Ya, I forgot about the warranty.
Then better keep folding it.

Just curios as I'm still waiting for mine to arrive, does Vios side mirror fold automatically when lock/unlock car? Or you have to install third party equipment?
*
If I'm not mistaken, you ordered G spec., right?
Ya, for G spec, the side mirror will fold/unfold automatically when lock/unlock.

Is the jump start cable come as standard accessory?
Or your SA give you as an additional gift?

Will ask my SA.

My colleague just told me when he first got his car, there is one time where he cannot start his car. Cannot press the brake pedal (feel hard when step on the brake pedal). Had anyone had this experience? What actually happened? Afraid that it might happen to me too.

Want to ask those who goes service at SC on Saturday and Sunday.

Hi, i just notice that you mentioned about adjusting the door.
Is it the door hard to close?
Mine, the driver side door need to close very hard compare to other doors.
Other doors are OK.
Not sure is it normal.

Yup.. its very hard to close.. need to slam it only can close properly.. haha..It's not normal.. visit toyota SC during weekdays and ask them to adjust it..
*
Ya, need to slam the door, right?
Mine the same.
You request to adjust only the driver side or all 4 doors.
Mine i think only driver side.
BTW, is it an easy task to adjust the door or need to dismantle a lot of parts.
Afraid later will cause other problem like rattling sound.
