Oh. My situation is like stop the car there, listen 1 or 2 songs, or move few inches in front, for 1hr+ (another 1hr+ for going back). Everyday like that.

Hopes it'll get better later on.

Haha. I'm going to have accident if my eye stare on the speed and watch.

QUOTE
did u do that while the gear was set to "D"? or u really step on the accelerator real hard?

It is on the "D" left side and not the "-3" right side. I stepped read hard.

about the new vios, technically speaking is only a face-lift model...n i think they are using inferior materials than the previous one.

Don't simply think lah. Go and compare physically. If consider as facelift model, from smaller than City interior to bigger, this is one hell of a facelift. tongue.gif

New Vios got auto sound leveling.. which other car of this class don't have.

QUOTE
not really that big ler..only enhance abit nia..door panel plastic..is lao ya than older version

Hmm... wider a bit (just few cm I forgot the figure), 10cm more legroom, headroom higher a bit (again few cm), boot more litre.

In the end the new Vios cabin is larger than Honda City, but the boot is still 25L short of City's... (Latio headroom is crazy large)

Cabin size compare: Vios < City < New Vios < Latio
Boot: Vios < New Vios < Latio < City



But one thing, I notices the black trim in between the two front & back doors mirror, is actually stickers and not paint! You guys can go and check on the demo car.

hmm.gif You more lansi like that. tongue.gif . To say ugly, new Waja front is the prize winner. Even Latio odd potato shape looks better.





Anyway, my 2nd FC stats.... 11.5km/L. Up from 10.9km/L on my first. This Sat going for 1st service, should be much better after this.

The legroom is comfortable but the seat (the cushion) feel so small. Its enough to fit the passengers butt  tongue.gif
but for the long journey i think it will become pain in the ass. Will go again today to Toyata & Honda showroom wanna have a look again.

Driver seat or rear passenger seat? Unless your ass is of 60inch, then I have nothing to say.

Just get City if you like CVT and the seat is designed for your ass, no need to test drive. It's a good car nonetheless.


Honestly get Civic if you want a bigger than Vios car, as City is just smaller on legroom, headroom and width (but not in large margin anyway). Really, no point spending a lot for a car when it doesn't fit your ass in the long run.

My vios (1st generation) FC can up to 500km..

500km for how many litres? I'm getting 360km for 26L for fuel in 90% city driving (KL jam area/golden triangle). If you say full tank (40L+) or 50% city, I might surpass 500km tongue.gif.

Anyone know why the new Vios is bouncy when traveling at 135- 140kmph in highway ?

Any method available to reduce the bounciness ? (Hope no stupid answer like reducing speed)
*
What kind of bouncy do you mean? Soft like fruit cake and bounce like jelly even on flat road? Or too hard until you can feel road pimples?

The new Vios suspension/damper is definitely more solid then old Vios, and less fruity then MyVi.

Quite soft like fruit cake but can be felt compare to a older civic ~!

Any solution to reduce the bounce ?

They give you rosak damper already is it? So you bounce all the way on the flat road? Go back to your SA and complain.

Or customize/mod your damper/spring.

Just wanted to ask..is it this car worth to buy?i had booked a S-spec.I went to a lot of forum and website.I can see that a lot of ppl is bashing this car.Any opinion from anyguys here?but i had found 1 site that stated that Vios is much more better than City,

http://cars.gidblog.com/2007/10/04/updates...a-vios-part-ii/
*
Vios has much better stock sound system, 'built-in' antena, better cushion vs even Civic ( nod.gif, reported from a guy own both Civic 1.8 and Vios, what can I say).

Sadly, only your own experience matters. You should have already did some comparison before booking right?

New Vios interior is larger than City,
rear floor is flat,
sharper turning radius,
more viewable front area (hence cannot see the car bonnet, might be bad for certain people),
flipping wing mirror,
newer alarm system,
driver seat height uses jack-like mechanism instead of turning dial.

But...
no more remote trunk open vs old Vios. sad.gif


And it looks like 5-series behind (or Waja):

Yah,but the SA try to conned me le!he said if i take on january the car still consider 2007 car because production year is 2007.
He said if i want 2008 car i need to wait until 2008 march! flex.gif Anyway Thank you for the advise/
*
The SA is not entirely wrong either. Manufacture date is important as well - nobody are going to pay you 2008 price if they see your car is 2005 manufactured, eventhough you reg on 2008.

Plus you have to take into account of interest rate and promotion. Nobody knows what the interest rate will be next year, when our Gov screwing up the economy.

Bro, U didn't travel much lar. The car is taken in early November only I think.

I am running to and fro from KL to Johor then back.

The mileage is around 11XXkm already when sending in for servicing.

But somehow, still feel very few new Vios on the road ~!

I prefer this color compare to Gold. Just loving it more and more everyday.  laugh.gif

I love the accleration comparing it to Unser and Avanza. Never drive other brand car except for Kancil bcoz need to get the "license to speed".  rclxm9.gif

I only travel KL around never outstation, but I got no idea how can clock 1600km so fast? tongue.gif It just makes you wanna keep going...

Bro, U test ur top speed before ?

I haven't really test mine.

I ran it until 140kmph only bcoz got other family member in car when going back Johor.

The wind resistance noise seem very loud at 140kmph.

I rode in a Honda Civic the previous generation before the current one.

140- 160 still silent like nothing at all ~!

Other than that, I found that the Vios is bouncing on some part of the highway when traveling at 140 kmph.
Should I complain to the service centre or just the stupid PLUS highway condition ???
*
Not yet got chance to go highway yet, will post here when I try at that speed (or more speed tongue.gif). I'm waiting 2nd service (request full synthetic) then floor pedal kau kau. Silent like nothing at all?! Maybe you get used to the noise already in long stretches of road. Even Benz/Camry are noisy at high speed.


QUOTE
I'm shocked you said that the new vios is bouncy when travelling at 140kmph?Is this for real?and the the sound of the wind is loud?
i thought there was ASL right?

ASL is just having louder volume when going faster. Nothing to do with canceling/damping noises.

why u all buying vios still instead of latio?

i might trad in my 3 yr old vios for it....

- exterior, Vios looks much better than Latio.
- 1.6L vs 1.5L - quite obvious who's the winner in FC

Comfort, I think Latio should be better but I don't give that much weigh to comfort, as long as not like LMST or Viva.
