why u all buying vios still instead of latio?

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

Not yet got chance to go highway yet, will post here when I try at that speed (or more speed ). 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.



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

- 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.

May i know how much each time you all service your car at Toyota service centre is it expensive?Is it compulsory to go back to service your car at toyota any comment?i mean is better service more advantanges if compare to service the car at outside....

The first few times is quite reasonable but after that quite expensive ~!

My 1st service (I insisted on the ATF change):

Gasket 1.70
ATF Fluid WS (4L) 129.80
Oil Filter 29.15
Toyota Motor Oil (4L) Mineral 59.90

Total: 220.55 (90.75 if stick with original plan - no ATF change).

It is that cheap because labour is free currently. Otherwise, labour is many times more expensive than outside.


I request for using semi synth... but they forget and use Mineral.

What's the different between semi synth and mineral ?

Never really check out the different ~!

Looks is kinda subjective, don't you think?

While the Latio Sedan may look odd at first sight, i'm beginning to fall for it as time goes by, so may the new Vios. I may give a 2 thumbs up for the previous gen Vios, except for its cabin space.

What i love the most about this new Vios is the gate shifter, the centre armrest design, the flat floor and the implementation of an electrical power steering. However, it's disheartening to learn that the material quality felt like a downgrade from the previous version, yet priced expensively with minimal accessories installed. Hopefully these issues could be solved in the future facelift model.

Oh, does anyone here knew that the Vios in Brunei has a rear skirt installed for the S spec?

How about fully synthethic?what is the different and which 1 is the best for the car?

previously SC only provide either mineral or fully syn oil...just currently toyota comes out a semi syn.....since fully syn is much very expensive compare to mineral....this semi syn is suits for those users for middle budget....
betwn depends ur driving style...if u are racer alwis rev ur car or alwis high high speed, then suggest to use fully syn...if just normal drive..then can use semi syn.....

new vios really have a bad interface

what kind of interface u r refering to?

Maybe he is refering to the dashboard which is strangely move to the centre.

I also consider it a bad move.

My family member now can see what speed I am going at easier compare to other model ~!

Very good assumption, dun let the family see the speedo... But i think they can feel...

Actually, for this new Vios, can barely feel anything when going at 130kmph, only reaching 140 then it is more noticeable for me.

My family member very sensitive one, Avanza going at 120kmph already started grumbling saying the car is shaking and all sorts of things. As for new Vios, the family member sleeping soundly at 130kmph.

4 me, I feel the "BACKSIDE" of new VIOS, little bit look like WAJA expecially the back light design.
ha...just a small size of WAJA...
just wonder is it copy design from WAJA....

I would never think of toyota copy local car. Duno which local car is good enough to be imitate.

the shape is quick similar and just small type only...
just curious on that day cause WAJA and New Vios parking side by side...and did a comparison...ha...quite same.
anyway, hope it is not!!!

erm, do u guys think vios looks better without spoiler?
btw, is there any difference in term of performance between S G and E models? thx

No differences in term of performence just some safety and different internal thing

S - more sporty and add some feature....like display EDO, temp....
4 me, mostly I will choose S-spec!!!
