For My own view only,  if you can afford it, why not get TRD / GX specs?

My family veto me to buy higher spec choice last time, and later I upgraded it. Spoke to my friend whom also got HRV medium spec recently,  later he also voice regret of not getting high spec..

Importantly, you know yr pocket well and go for your own gut feeling, after few test drives, survey these colors as well as features..  Silver color is much easier to sustain and take care..
On color awesome, it is very subjective question.. different peoples got different levels of color tastes.. Go for yr feeling better.. For me, if TRD spec,I opt and go for pearl white color.

reason = do u notice that, nowadays many Vios(2nd Wife) wore nice 4x shoes(sport rims) and dress skirting(aerokit front, side, rear + spoiler) on the road with WHITE front/ rear number plate bulbs??  Nice, isn't it? And car drivers = youngsters or young executive adults.. alright.

Thanks for your feedback brother.

My budget is open for TRD, which means I can afford the installment. After all i notice the price difference between G and TRD is around RM5k. So, the premium will be around 40 ringgit difference a month.

Do agree with you, silver is much easier to care then any other colour. I think the hardest will be white or pearl white, unless rajin cuci regularly la.

Hahaha. I like your last statement...

I was in the same situation as you. I think its pretty normal to be lost when getting a car, as was I. In my case, I found my answer when I test drive the car. The answer just came upon me but do know the limits of your budget first. A car will be like your second girlfriend.

So, in the end which model you went after bro??

Hi everyone, this is my first post here. I'm having a headache with my Vios (9 year old car).

My car engine vibrates whenever I stop with the engine on (for example, at the traffic light). Sometimes it vibrates till my engine stops, sometimes I can continue driving but with much lesser power and hard to accelerate. This problem usually is worse with the aircon on, with the aircon off not so bad initially but eventually will still be the same situation.

I have sent to two mechanics in the past 2 weeks, both of them did cleaning of the throttle and engine tuning. But until now, the same problem still remains. The last mechanic said if the problem still remains, then most probably have to change throttle body, which will cost more than 1k.

What do guys think? Have anyone experienced same problem? Are there any other possible reasons for this rather than just changing the throttle body? I'm not a car expect, thats why Im asking for feedback here, I scared I kena con from the car mechanic.

Seriously? So what do they use instead?? Coz I don’t own smart tag either, so should I buy a smart tag or install Toyota tag meantime?
*
Why panicking guys... they didn’t say can’t use vios car on road anymore ... it’s jus about touch n go sysem which migrating from smart tag to new radio frequency sticker type device..

Full implementation wil take few years... meantime sit back n make use existing device you hv..

Since u know new system on its way, don’t install Toyota tag yet, go for cheaper option first

Guys I received letter from Toyota for insurance renewal.

Do you guys renew with Toyota which comes with Toyota package or buy outside directly from insurance company?

I know nowadays we can buy online. I saw the price differences is around RM 170 tht we can save if buy from online.

But renewing with Toyota comes with together with their package such as free towing, faster priority claim, and other benefits which is found on their website.

Do you guys renew with them or buy online? Inputs are appreciated

Alright bro.. so I guess it’s worth to pay 170 now just to save all the hassle later

Anyone disagree wit me?

Thanks for asking.. I need the info too.. Jst receive the insurance renewal letter. Shall we contact our agent to renew or jst fill the form and post?
*
Must call up sales division to ask for latest premium.. the amount they quote on the letter is wrong because it’s computer generated with extremely high sum insured..

Besides got gst to sst adjustments some more..

Mine it’s written sum insured 89k but in actual it’s only 68k

So call and ask them
