hi to all existing new vios members,

i find that my car type 'S' does not has the 3rd brake light, it only get with the rear spoiler brake light. Have you all find the same?

for type 'E & G', sure they get the 3rd brake light because they donot have the rear spoiler coming with.

If like that, it will big 'rugi' for buying type 'S'.

any comment for you all?

kazama,

3k is the price different S & G, but i saw outside bodykit installed can be get around 1.2-1.5k (material making is different & no LED in spoiler)

as a result, minus it, the remain 1.5k is for black interior (you should know only color is different, the material making is the same) and optitron meter. that all.

finallly, it means that the you pay 1.5k for optitron meter....sign....huh

Did you guys use the ordometer (aint sure if the spelling correct, but I'm referring to the digital distance calculator on the dash board)?? I have a practice where I reset and record the distance I travel after pumping petrol to my car so that I could know exactly how much I could travel with that amount of petrol I fuelled in.

I always practice using A and B... then the issue came to my notice, both A and B add up together even though I only activate the meter A. For example, I reset the meter B now after I pumped fuel (with meter A keeping the record) and start to travel and what I notice is meter A still running even though I only activate meter B. Anyone has this issue ??



my car-S type also like that. whats wrong ler?

  My car had a problem today.

There are "tik tik tik" sound coming from the meter area. I think something inside the casing covering the meter is loose.

Anyone had this problem?
doh.gif my new vios also got this problem, when it is exposed to sunlight & become heated, the sound more loughter to hear. it is because plastic deform when heated and the meter cover "bergeseh" with something around there , as a result the "tik tik tik" appeared.

I have informed to SC and they book my car on this Friday for checking and repairing. Hope they can settle it down because this is the 3rd time for resending to SC. They fail to repair on the 1st and 2nd time. vmad.gif vmad.gif

Haha I guess your're the 'papaya' in motortrader forum.

Do keep me updated about the problem and if it can be solved DIY.

If it's just some simple job then I'd rectify it myself.

Thanks
tongue.gif Bingo, u r right, hehe biggrin.gif
i think better dun DIY because will viod the warranty if broken.

  Almost 15000km already, going for 3rd service.

So far didn't heard any 'tik tik tik' sound. But got squeaking sound when cold start + open aircon and immediately then reverse gear. MyVi also don't have like that. Complain & 'fix' on 2nd service but still there.

Buzzing sound is like what? The first time I got my car got buzzing sound because got two thin sticker/strip in the wing mirror. Pull it off the no more liao. Even the chrome lining on our four doors got plastic wrap - hard to peel off when left little bit on the corner tip.

Anyway, do S spec have visors on the door?


As for cold start, I got 1400rpm normally. On aircon, it goes 1500rpm and then down to 1100rpm.
up to now i wun hear squeaking dound when cold start, only got the sound when start air-con immediately. rclxub.gif i think is normal gua.
when i got my car, the all doors chrome lining plastic wrap was disappeared , but still got a little bit around the corner tip as well flex.gif flex.gif

visors on the door?? what lai de?

the rmp will get high when cold start, it is normal la for now a day high tech car. biggrin.gif

scratches or stone chip on the paint surface are 100% cannot be avoided. Take it easy and dun be so heart-pain of yr car.

if you want to 100% avoid, you should build a big glass tube and put yr car inside which never ride it out - simple

Vios Sifus,

I would appreciate it if someone could offer some suggestions on Vios models.

After much debating (between City idsi and a Vios), seems that Vios is the way to go (according to relative's accounts).

But there's now 4 different specs (J, E, G, S).

J and E is like 10k difference. Whereas E and G are 5k in difference.

If I were trying to get the best value for money model. Which would you recommend and why?

Thx~!
*
nod.gif I had bought S spec early this yrs, for my opinion, i will definitely go for higest spec type S. I feel no regret after look other ppl drive their vios on the street.


since the car need to use at least few yrs, no regret go for highest spec S because money can earn back in future. wink.gif
