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 )

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 ^^ .
