Go and buy the S version then. J version no disc brake at the back.

S version is too expensive for me and out of my budget...i better buy the bodykit myself and it still cost less than S..

If you want to drive fast and brake heavily, then go for G or S spec. If you just want to modify your car to a nice looking one, J spec is the one for you to modify one.

Some people might get the J spec, upgrade the rear brake from drum to disc, manual transmission and add turbo.

So the choice is yours, think wisely.
*
The SA told me if i change the HU for the J spec, it will void the warranty on wiring..which makes me wonder?Is wiring a big issue in toyota vios?

i'm not the type who drive fast like ah beng..i'm the type who drives to achieve better FC...i just want to mod the car with the money saved...i did think bout getting G spec, but the fact i have to fork out another RM12k and it doesn't have usb input for the HU really turn me down..

What your  Sa means is that any modification that has to do with tapping or cutting wire will void the wiring harness of your car. If you change your HU then the warranty for your radio, speakers & speaker wirinf will be void. I personally do not know of any problems with Toyota Vios wiring harness.
In regards to your car choice, just get what is within your budget & pleases your eye/heart. No point going above your budget with the current economic climate.

Btw, did you get my PM?  rolleyes.gif

hazremi, what if you wait for another one or two years.

Try to save some amount of money, in equal to what you can afford to pay as the installment for J spec, every month.

I think, by that time you could buy the G spec. Be patient.

IMHO, stock car is better. Use it as is.

Usually, modding your car will make you visit the wordkshop more frequent.

Save the money for modding the car, for the Toyota SC. Always use original parts. Service your car as scheduled. Perhaps you could also afford to use the fully synthetic oil (reduce the number of SC visits to half).

p/s:
1.Rich people always say: If you want fast car, go and buy a fast car. If you want beautiful car, go and buy a beautiful car. Modding the car, shows that you are not rich.

2. I don't work for Toyota. I am also a "makan gaji" man.

actually the issue is not about i can't afford g spec..i do want g spec..but paying until rm85k but i can't even listen my music using usb really turn me down.. i pay so much but i can't enjoy it..i'm a heavy music listener anyway..

i'm not going to make a heavy modification..what i plan to do is just change rim to 15, use bodykit,change HU..that's all...i always use original part..i always service my current ride on schedule and i always use fully synthetic oil for my ride..

even i wait 2-3 years but i am still not satisfied with the ride...what's the point?

Hi guys, right now comparing 60k-70k cars.

comparing satria Neo CPS, Waja CPS and Vios J ( looking for manual car)

how do you rate them in terms of

- price, loan and interest( proton high interest rate makes vios and waja= same monthly payment)
- power
- reliability
- resale value
- fun factor

looking for manual/ a little more power, and i think manual car is more forgiving in harsh driving condition.
*
price, loan and interest - same monthly payment, vios win here
- power - in terms of performance, protons wins, in terms of fuel saving, vios wins
- reliability - u know the answer
- resale value - u know the answer
- fun factor - both are fun

I just got my Vios. Really enjoy driving it. Stable, powerful and really nice. So far perfect, no problem at all.

Trust me, go for Vios. I never even take Neo and Waja as consideration.

I only compare it with the new City.

I will choose Vios again, if now I have a choice to compare it with City. smile.gif

congrats bro for your ride. what type of spec are u driving?

do you do any mod? show us some pic la laugh.gif

Dark tint doesn't mean good for heat rejection.

Vkool Elite is actually clear color. Transparent. But heat rejection is 97%.

Light transmission about 73%.. better for night driving.
*
how about 55% heat rejection? consider normal is it?

today i went service my car..

for the 1st and 2nd service... meaning 1000 and 5000km, they use Minerals, a type of crude oil.

Then 3rd service, 10,000, you can choose to use either Fully or Semi syn.

Semi syn, every 5k change... Fully syn 10k ...

Other than mileage, overall fully syn is better than semi, there's a brochure in toyota waiting hall got explain all these stuff.
1st service is nice... they help u wash and vacuum your car also.. haha, thought of washing myself today, but got ppl help me wash already.
Heard ppl said, 1st 1000km, cannot rev...

Now past already and went for 1st service...can try power oledi!
*
so can i conclude when u get your vios, the service interval is like this

1. 1000km service
2. 5000km service
3. 10000km service
4. service for every 10000km interval..

is this the right way to service your vios?

some people said you don't need to service 5000km...

I guess that's still long to wait since the new Toyota Vios launched in year 2007, so 3 years later should be 2010.

not to mention vios was lunched on oct 2007, almost end of 2007..maybe 2011 will launch a new version
