not few second but when u reach the speed of 20kmh then door will autolock

The major irritating noise I got are
1. when going uphill while the engine hover on 2000rpm the engine roar is loud. other rpm is ok.
2. road noise. btw it is most loud in the driver side. Try to be passenger, the noise is lesser a lot. But no where near Latio's NVH.
3. when hovering/cruising on around 120km/h, there's a periodic cyclic humming sound easily heard.
I have ViosG, ViosJ & Wira1.6 to compare. Still the Wira is more noisier.

Anyway, do you add any spacer on your rims, or the overall radius/diameter is still maintained?

Not sure about the new spec but my Vios Type G year 2006 and very satisfied with it as everyday fire up to 160kmph as working in Nilai. I also did change to thin soft type of tyre and no problem also. At first it need some tuning to balance out the car as the larger wheels take place and also different type of tyre. Maybe you can try different tyre as I did try different brand and really feel the difference. Recommended Goodyear or Michelin.

I do think the service centre for toyota is one of the best. As call in to make appointment and sit down and wait for it to be ready. Plus free food and drinks and also air con place and reasonable price.

But Im not sure of the new production though as never try the new car yet as mine is the old version. Good luck mate. Maybe its the odd one as sometimes in 100 cars produced, 1 or 2 maybe have some defect. But hope yours can be solved soon.

Power wise, I do think for the first 5000 km of ur car, never accelerate past 3000 rpm.. then after that slowly built up and ur car will have better performance as i read in car magazine last time. And rev consistantlly and try different fuel. For me.. Shell ron 95 have no power but if you put in V power.. u can feel the urge of power plant in your right foot.

So conclusion is lots of factor to consider to make it a good car as I used it daily and I'm very happy with it.

If want faster , why dont add super charger to it ^^ .

i know about this 1,but that is during on the seat and drive.
the thing is i get down from the car,and suddenly forgot to lock the door and it will automatically lock it 1 after couple of minute.

it seems like the rumors i heard from UMW insiders are correct... they claimed that new vios have alotsa prob~

but vios still selling like hot cake

i don't know got add or not, coz my sport rim is 4 hole (normally those taiwan imitation rims has 8 holes), it fit in without any modification on the sport rim itself.
and i drive at 180km/h, it is stable, just the suspension too soft for a bumpy road feel like riding a boat

well, the noisy sound i think is the most common problem for the new generation of vios, you can hear easily on the driver side, but not the passenger side.

engine is very noisy when it rev above 3000rpm. i cannot hear my radio sound when i drive a 180km/h.
i only able to hear the engine sound + long whistle sound ( wind sound i think ).
Overall, the sound proof is sux big time when u compare with the 1st gen vios

just curious, wanted to ask any1 of u experience windows glass fall off? mine just fell off in the morning. i heard a strange noise n then notice the windows is leaned to the front. now it cant open n close properly.

I also realize that driver side can hear louder noise, while back passenger is much more comfort.

Maybe I'm going to apply AutoFoam into my ride at end of this year or next year. Will share the improvement experience after I do that installation.

anyone change tyre or rim for their vios
what best recommend

Just change my Vios E 14" sport rim to 15" sport rim with 195 55 R15 Falken tyre. Went to Rawang town and change it coz i heard they give better trade in value for the stock rim + tyre. There are a few (4-5) shops near to each other and makes choosing, bargaining and making decision easier. Price of tyre & rim also reasonable.

My car now looks much better and sporty now with the new rim!

show some pics la bro

Possible if the person is doing a U-turn, try it urself...

close

Just recently I ride Waja and man, even @ 90kmph felt similar like Vios going 160kmph. Vios 180kmph definitely is bumpy & floating. Esp when you are on the right lane to KLIA try it.

Vios is able to reach around 200kmph +/-, but it were never that stable - the ground clearance is high, roof is taller and this is not a track car. Don't buy Vios and treat it as a sport car, accident will happen.

My ViosG have ASL built-in, so I still able to heard the radio even when that fast because the volume auto-adjusted via car speed. At 180kmph, the tire noise are worse than the engine noise. Even 6000rpm sounds muted with all those tire noise. As for the whistle/wind sound, can't even heard it @ that speed because tire too noisy. Wind noise can be heard when you are around 80~120kmph.



Come on, even all those Lotus handling car also body roll when I U-turn. Really tried them all (except Neo CPS, anyone know where to test drive or owner free ride? ).

Urm that is my reply to a guy that say <30 km/h cannot have body roll.

well, i never treat vios as a sport car, i treat it as a family car or comfortable car, but the sound proofing for the latest generation vios is terrible bad compare with the 1st generation vios. ( so i don't know vios will fall under which category now as it is not comfortable now with the noisy sound)

the tyre noise is very unbearable, some times the tyre noise is cover the engine sound haha

yeah my mistake. forgot bout uturn. all the time while making the reply, i never thought of u-turn, only the normal cornerings.
by the way, common sense speaking, i meant to say <30km/h cannot have body roll during normal cornerings (excluding u-turns)

Mine is Vios07 (I always mistaken as Vios08) now almost 48000km already. The dashboard frame (the black smooth plastic frame outside) that connect to the textured body plastic panel starting to have sound. I use my hand to press it while driving and the sound gone. Small issue though.

As for body roll, half of it means lousy handling, half of it means having feedback that tells you the car is approaching its handling limit - more and you will lose control. It can be good or bad depends on how you look at it. You can mask away much of the body roll with after market parts but, there's still always a limit.

is a small family car....
is not a sport car n never be one...
