Very funny.  biggrin.gif
Fanboy has no logic whatsoever.
As if they had a choice in the first place to dictate the OTR price?! tongue.gif
Next year, with the most bare minumum. Around 60k.
Well lets see the annual sales. tongue.gif
Forums always loaded with premature college students and using rich papa money to buy car.
Got mine Vios G. Interior is superb. WQQ ####. Stuff and panel are all align properly. 5-series uses plastic too. Cushion is no where near thin complain by one of forumer here saying he's able to touch the frame?! I tried hard to press but unable due to the cushion is harder and more solid now. Elevating the front seat is just by pulling or pushing the jack, rather than turning dial like in City. FC still unknow as this is my 1st refill.

p/s: Comes with Bridgestone tires.

Vios Or City?? please advice ... just now test drive both car ...
City ... steering is harder ... S Mode is more powerful instead of over drive in Vios ...
Vios ... more comfortable ... go through uneven road also don feel so shacky ... damn ... confused now ...
but Vios ... color selection very little ... sigh ... i m wanna make up my mind this week ... hope someone can give some adivce ...
thx ...

normally the OD is default to ON, when u press it, u can see the indicator on the meter showing it is OFF ...

for normal driving, we will ON the overdrive

no, if u compare the old vios and city, then city salesman can say this, but not to current vios...

even the vios lowest spec E is equiped with ABS + EBD + driver airbag, means the city IDSI only have 1 more front passenger's side airbag ...

i don't think more 1 airbag can say city is safer then the new vios, not to forget the rear brake both are drum ...

in terms of body strength, both more or less the same ...

dun listen salesman for opinion, toyota nor honda, they will praise their car kaw kaw 1...

do your own research and preferences ...


Added on October 29, 2007, 9:37 am

yes, service in UMW in others perpestive means buy the warranty ...

but 100% i gonna skip the 40k and 30k air cond service ...

Thanks smile.gif ...
i think i have make up my mind already ... will let everyone know what i have selected once i booked it ... hahaa ...

I called the salesman today and he said can get my 1.5G on 24th. I said I want on 18/19/20th Jan and he said he'll try. What does he mean? Is the car somewhere in the factory, or at any other branches?

(First time bought car, last time Proton Wira my dad bought it and he went thru all the process)
*
hmm ... ur salesman confirmed a date with you di? wtf ... my salesman still no news ... i also plan to get it before 18th ... sigh ... but he said he got no clue when the car will arrive ...

New Vios Drivers,

Please share with me your current fuel consumption. Mine currently at RM 72- 75 can drive 450 KM - 475 KM (MAX).
I really feel quite dissappointed with the fuel consumptions. By calculating this, it is like almost RM 0.155 /KM.

Wonder anyone of you install v cool and how much, i was quote RM1550.00 cash. Is it expensive, becos last time when i install on my Perdana also about the same price, but that is few years back.
*
Errr ... Aren't RM 1550 is considered cheap already? I not sure, i got mine for RM 1600 whole car V-Cool Elite. But if they said mixed with some other brand and only front and rear mirror is V-Cool then the price is cheaper, RM 1400.

I forgot the another brand that they gonna mixed but got 1 advantage one ... they said is harder for ppl to break the window ... I saw a lot of BM and Mers installing that package when i went to tint my car ...

When you tint the warranty has already void.

And i have bad experince with brothers too. So i already blacklist all of the even some are good.
*
I don't think the warranty will be voided. When i got my car, the salesman even purposely don't want to help me stick my road tax because he knew i wanted to tint my car. But if you go and modify your car alarm, then the warranty is voided. smile.gif

Hope other who read your posting won't get confused with wrong info

I agree with your statement, its has nothing to do with the warranty when you tint your car as i stated earlier, but still some of you guys still mentioning void warranty. I dont know why the misleading statement.
*
Just additional note. For those tinted with V-Kool Elite, just pay extra cash and get insurance to cover your front mirror + your V-Kool smile.gif
Luckily my salesman did remind me about this.

chill ...

Today went brothers n retint again. Damn fed up v their fxxking face n services. Just simply tint for u again. Found some dust in the tint. I think need to retint for 3rd time. Wtf... u pay rm1100 for tint n need to go back again n again.  vmad.gif

NVR TINT UR CAR AT BROTHERS BAYU PERDANA IF NOT U WILL REGRET FOR UR LIFE~!
*
Aren't they come with warranty? Just go and tint till you satisfied. Since their service is so poor. But better don't mess up with them la. You will never know what they will do to your new car. I don't like to mess up with mechanics because i always have a perception that they might have contacts to those who will steal your car or damage your one. hahaa ... sorry to those mechanics here. But i do admit that there are certain mechanics that are very good in attitudes. Talking from personal experience only.

go for other branch lo. so many branches in KL and Selangore itself.

QUOTE(enson1985 @ May 19 2008, 03:48 PM)
Alr tint for the 2nd time. U know the cutting edge damn ugly plus when they tint got dust between the tint n windows. Pengsang... 2nd time also the same. Found out 2 windows need to retint again. N one more is when they spray the thing... i duno is air sabun or wat they simply spray till whole door n even car inside also got. Damn fed up v their service. My car just one week only. Need to tint so many times.  vmad.gif
*
i think probably u better just give up to that shop before they do more damage to ur car. although myself also had a very bad experience when i tint my window. but after all i just damn fedup with their service and not their quality of work. just throw that 1K to the shop and go re-tint in other shops. Useless to keep retint.
