Hi sifu sifu sekalian,

I'm considering Vios to take advantage of the current tax holiday. Just wondering whether the reverse camera is equipped with guide lines which follows your steering wheel is available for the DVD AVX head unit?

Worth to upgrade to AVN unit?

Joining the club with my new super white gx. rclxm9.gif

Did a simple water bath after getting the car. Tomorrow will go look for proper car shampoo and wax to maintain its white. Any recommendation?

Welcome to the club. For super white color, you will need to be extremely hardworking to sustain cleanliness at all times..

1. Put a bottle of tap water and 1x piece microfiber cloth at rear car bonnet. You can clean / normal wet wipe the bottom of the aerokits(front, rear and both left right sides) and windscreen while waiting for engine BLUE / cold light indicator turn OFF. normal 600ML empty 100plus/Spritzer bottle . For 100% microfiber cloth, get from DIY,.AEON..

2. Use Maxz Wax for super stubborn dirt only when needed.. Use KIT car paste wax every 2-3 months to make car shinning.. Both products from USA (claimed written).

For your new car, color STILL nice shinning. Just shampoo wash will do.. Perhaps starts waxing AFTER 6 - 7 months, or when color turns,.Or color starts not shinning..touch up will do.. whole car may takes 45mins - 70mins..

When it is raining, you need to be very extraordinary hardworking.. I m doing wet wipe windscreen and bottom aerokits for almost daily for last 18 months...to sustain cleanliness of super white color. Almost give up.. Discipline and consistency will build..
But YOU will be happy when driving at.night.. Very nice color at night or evening with
small light and.numberplate bulbs light WHITE too..Get good genuine bulbs from accessories shop. For yr GX, you will need to always wet wipe the sport rim to ensure that dual tone contrasting well..It is awesome too.

Just did my 1K mileage service at Toyota sc. they change fully syn oil for me?? I tot semi is sufficient?? They told me if 1K change full syn, then 5K no need change oil. Is that true or I got con by them??? Rm 254 for first service 🤦🏻‍♀️

My first service they just use mineral oil and total price is about RM120+ IIRC. Fully synthetic oil is more expensive but can last way longer since its change interval is usually at 10-15km. Remember on your 2nd service to ask if they quote engine oil again.

I'm just drive my vios about 2 month, it already after 1st service, but why my car fuel consumption is very low till now? it's about 280-300km per tank.

But i got change the rims to 17", will it effect much on this mod?

pls advice, thx.

Heavy footer? Or always stuck in a very bad jam?

Last weekend went to Mentakab for a wedding and drove around 400km. Then weekday daily city drive to work until today for 4 days for around 144km and my tank still have 1 box left in the fuel gauge. Pretty happy with the fuel consumption.

heavy jam, not really, but i seldom go highway, mostly city drive. May i ask: will it improve if I go few times travel far to others state?

I do not think it works that way. Do you pump full tank or only up to a certain amount? No way we can tell what is wrong, better check with the service center.

Turn off vsc also feel nothing different. Either on or off, feel nothing. The system will get activated when it fullfil the requirements.

Same goes with eco indicator. Turn it off do nothing on performance. The purpose for that indicator light is for behavioral modification. Meaning to say you need to keep that light on while driving to save petrol.

Sorry to say, just placebo effect.

The only time you wish you feel the VSC is when your car is skidding and your VSC is off rolleyes.gif

No comment on the eco mode though. But I do feel that the car has tendency to pull? shift down? when in a crawling traffic jam speed with eco.

It's true. But what vios has did not justify what city has compared to vios. And those what vios has is better off with aftermarket.

And what city has can't simply get with aftermarket.

Feature wise, the new vios is definately a step forward as compare to our version. Just that the front design is a bit ... laugh.gif Maybe a black paint can cover the weird looking front.

Some feature like rear disc brake, blind spot monitor, etc although not a necessity in this segment, is a nice to have also ma rclxms.gif
