Ask your dad to testdrive but not only within the compound. Must testdrive out on the open road or streets.

Then only he can feel/see/hear for himself the real characteristics of the car.

If he can accept the below-par NVH and tyre noise, then ok.

currently at service center,
so sad that i cannot ask for aligment adjustment due to i have change my rim and tyre ( no original we can't do it for you, really wtfbbq )

i raise my question on the tyre noisy sound, they claim it might be the bearing is faulty due to changing the sport rim... ( another wtfbbqkthxbye ), they can't change it because it is not original rim + tyre ( another wtfbbq )

now i am thinking the free 3 year warranty is actually alot of thing that we can't claim it as they will just simply blame to any new change on the car by yourself. i will not going back to the toyota service center after my free service is used finish.

Please think twice if you want to buy this vios, as i am very disappointed on the workmanship of this car + this car is not meet my expectation.
please consider other car because this car just not worth RM80k at all. Personally think that proton will be better, just toyota with VVTI owns campro smile.gif

if i got second chances, i will never ever want to get this car. ( fully disappointed and need to bear with it for another 6~7 year T_T )

good to hear that you are all good with your VIOS J
well, maybe i am the unlucky one sad.gif
or maybe the expectation for me on a toyota vios is too high biggrin.gif

( after car service, try to go with top speed, when reach 175km/h and have some minor turn, the car is a bit shaky and i slow down the speed right a way, suspension is too soft can't hold it biggrin.gif )

overall still a good car. (beside the sound proof)

I am not sure about the shaky thing. But, from my experience my VIOS S (bought January 2008) can go up to 180km/h, without any problem.

At this speed, I found out that the car is more silent.

My only problem is that sometimes the belt produce sound when the engine is cold. As a temporary solution, the SC that I went to just applied some grease to it. However, it does not occur if the air conditioner is switched off.

p/s: I did not do any mod to this car. Not even change the sport rim. I like it as it is. The trip meter is now clocked at 33000km.

i mean the car bounce up and down when the road is uneven at high speed 170++KM/H

the steering and everything is just fine. just the car like going to out of control due to the sudden bounce ( maybe i am too afraid of it so stop stepping on it. )

currently my car is clocked at 1500km only. only mod change is change to 15" sport rim with 195/55 tyre.

i had this problem after i sent my car for tinting. bad workmanship caused the soup solvent like chemical slips behind the dashboard. however, i usually will let the windows open when just turn on aircon. received some forward mail saying the 1st bunch of air when u turn on ur aircon is kinda poisonous. but the smell that i m experiencing nvr go away. though nvr try asking toyota to check. only thing i can guess for ur issue is the filter box behind the glove box. it can only happen if condensation happens inside the box.

on a 2nd note, i m quite pissed with the suspension/tyre noise after about a year driving this vios. it feels like my previous 20 year-old corolla. i wonder if this only happens to J or owners of E,G,S also experiencing the same issue.

another 2 problem i m having:
1. feels the front wheel vibrate when braking from about 80~100km/h. not brake as in sudden braking, but normal braking when u go down from slope.
2. some belt is starting to make noise when first start engine in the morning or in the evening.
hvnt go back to toyota coz the problem is intermittent.
*
Got my car back from toyota SC and they said they changed my cooling coil and also my air filter. They suspected something wrong with my cooling coil. But then I borrowed my car to my cousin brother coz his car met in an accident and is waiting for repairs. I asked him to watch out for this smell again and he said it's all good even up to today. He's been driving my car since last Friday already. Hopefully the problem has been resolved though.

As for your other problems, I never encountered them yet as my car is approaching 7 months old only and has only clocked about 12,000kms. My first gen vios year 05 is experiencing the loud belt sound in the morning during start-up but not my 2nd gen vios. Will always post new problems in this forum for sharing sake.

I guess you need to understand the warranty terms and conditions before you blame them. Any part that you change or remove, they void that part's warranty.

Not going back to the service center is up to you, I'm also went out from service center after my 10,000km service at there because at outside is much cheaper. Again, do understand their warranty, later you go to outside service and unfortunately one day your car has any problem, they won't solve for you for free in Toyota service center.

Please think twice before you blame them. nod.gif

This all depends on the driving style and where u drive ur Vios. Recently full tank took me nearly 580km on Vios 07. Mostly on highway. If u constantly drive on highway and less city driving surely can reach above 500 anytime

well, i do understand changing any part will void the warranty, but the problem is the noisy sound come from the tyre place when you drive above 80km/h.

how the f*** they can say it is the bearing making the sound? toyota original *GENUINE* bearing will so fast making sound?
don't tell me about my sport rim is causing it, i change accordingly and the weight of my sport rim is 30% lighter than the steel rim.

and personally, i don't think is the bearing issue, for me i think is the sound proof for the entire car is damn lousy.
I just not happy when i ask for checkup on something, they will simply blame it to your sport rim.

As i read many user review on here, alot of us is having the same common issue on the sound proof. even when you drive 140km/h, you can start hearing the engine sound is very loud or you rev your car at 4500RPM to 5000RPM, the sound is very loud compare to proton wira.

may i know vios 2007 can auto lock the door after 2minute?

the salesman told me tat in case i forgot to lock the vios,he said vios will automatic lock the car after a while 1.this is to prevent thief go inside rompak ur thing.

the salesman last time demonstrate for me,but now i think something wrong with my vios dy cause cannot auto lock the door.

and here i did a 2 test:

1st test:
step no.1:unlock the car by pressing the button on the key.
step no.2:wait for 2minute like tat
step no.3:it will certainly lock the car automatic without pressing lock button on the key.

2nd test:
step no.1:unlock the car by pressing button,
step no.2:open door and close it back.
step no.3:wait for 2minute,
step no.4:cannot automatic lock the door.

So the question is,how to fix the 2nd test?cause it is annoying when i get down the car and i forgot to lock the door,and worry that theft will go inside my car rompak my thing~~

If I am not mistaken, after you open any door, the auto locking will not function anymore.
But, it will lock the car after move for a few seconds (please refer to the manual).
