Seen the new Vios. The S model looks fabulous with bodykit. Love the steering and the centre console and the centre armrest.

However, the material feels cheap compared to older version, and oh the rear cabin still feels cramped like the older version except for the legroom thanks to the new floor design.

Steering should feels lighter now and a slightly more powerful performance thanks to the implementation of an EPS. That's all i can say for now. Will test drive in a couple of days.

Exactly... Try feeling the plastic and fabric trim of the door panel, it feels like the one in Myvi. Previous generation has that grade A plastic feel but the new Vios just don't have it

But I do like the centre armrest and the gate shifter.

My prediction, thou unconventionally designed, this model will still sell like hawt cakes thanks to it's brand name.

Not surprised to hear that. But the improved legroom will contribute a lil bit to reduce leg fatigue during a long journey.

A 2 hours ride at the rear cabin in my bro's old Vios makes both my back and my legs tired

1NZ-FE is a timing chain driven engine.

U mean speed limiter? My bro tried 170km/h on his 2006 Vios before, so i don't think it has a speed limiter...

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 bout the wheel size and rear drum brake?

Most probably the drain plug gasket.

Huh? What makes u said that? I only got a 2006 Vios 1.5G at home. Plus, i'm still driving my old Wira

Tat 10 sec fan belt noise also plagued my bro's 06 Vios. Changed once, the noise came back again after a few days.
