Anyone know why the new Vios is bouncy when traveling at 135- 140kmph in highway ?

Any method available to reduce the bounciness ? (Hope no stupid answer like reducing speed)

Quite soft like fruit cake but can be felt compare to a older civic ~!

Any solution to reduce the bounce ?

Is the first photo ur car ?

The color is similar to mine .

I will test the car this weekend again when I go back to my hometown.

The car has just been sent to the workshop for the first service ~!

I suggest U take ur car only on Jan 2008. Bcoz Dec 2007 car, sell on Jan 2008 , is already consider a 1 year old car ~!

The new Vios got a few bits and pieces of surprises that I found out which is nice such as ASL enable audio system, where the speed of ur car is link to ur Audio system. When U speed to a very fast pace, the audio system will adjust the volume automatically higher to cover the wind resistance noise.

After that when U slow down, the volume will readjust itself to a lower volume.

This system is available in other car ?

Bro, U didn't travel much lar. The car is taken in early November only I think.

I am running to and fro from KL to Johor then back.

The mileage is around 11XXkm already when sending in for servicing.

But somehow, still feel very few new Vios on the road ~!

I prefer this color compare to Gold. Just loving it more and more everyday.

I love the accleration comparing it to Unser and Avanza. Never drive other brand car except for Kancil bcoz need to get the "license to speed".

Bro, U test ur top speed before ?

I haven't really test mine.

I ran it until 140kmph only bcoz got other family member in car when going back Johor.

The wind resistance noise seem very loud at 140kmph.

I rode in a Honda Civic the previous generation before the current one.

140- 160 still silent like nothing at all ~!

Other than that, I found that the Vios is bouncing on some part of the highway when traveling at 140 kmph.
Should I complain to the service centre or just the stupid PLUS highway condition ???

Mine don't have any rebate at all ~!

Even some first aid kit items is not available also.

However, the car sales person explain that the thing is not taken by anyone but come in that way ~!

The sales person say I need to buy on my own.

It is not loud but noticeable. For example, Avanza is noise level is noticeable above 110kmph.

It is not bouncy all the way but some stretches of road in highway.

I was hoping some other car user or expert may comment on this issue ?

U drive the S one but drive 130kmph only ah ~! Wasteful ah.

I also didn't feel any bounce when traveling at 110 - 130kmph.

I want to know which stretchers of road he do it on.

I really interested how fast this new Vios is capable of but also very worried on the bouncing when I was driving only 140 ah ~!

Actually I tried 150kmph on Avanza also but some stretchers the whole car bounces like jelly totally going up and down but it is a very heavy car that's why can totally feel it.

The first few times is quite reasonable but after that quite expensive ~!

What's the different between semi synth and mineral ?

Never really check out the different ~!

Maybe he is refering to the dashboard which is strangely move to the centre.

I also consider it a bad move.

My family member now can see what speed I am going at easier compare to other model ~!

Actually, for this new Vios, can barely feel anything when going at 130kmph, only reaching 140 then it is more noticeable for me.

My family member very sensitive one, Avanza going at 120kmph already started grumbling saying the car is shaking and all sorts of things. As for new Vios, the family member sleeping soundly at 130kmph.

Which state and area are U living in ?

I didn't see any S spec at all on the road ~!

The only possibility is that , a lot of buyer book for Vios manufacture on 2008 one, meaning a lot of buyer wanted their Vios in 2008 only ~!

Production cannot meet demand (assumption).
