i went to toyota showroom in subang jaya just now, the J spec is not as bad as i thought.

the interior is black/grey combination.
J spec - rm73k
S spec - rm88k

get J spec
- throw the steel rim away, slam on a nice set of wheels. +rm2k
- throw the stupid HU away, slam in a nice 2 din HU - rm700
- put on ur own choice of body kits + spoiler(included paint) - rm2k

altogether = rm73k+ 2k + 700 + 2k = rm 77.7k = still cheaper than E specs.

if u like, u can even go add in ur own airbags and leather seats, it'll still be cheaper than G specs, choice is yours.

- L e O - , suppose stock part always the best, because the design come out from professional engineer ... and if u change rim, void the warranty instantly ...

pro and con ... think deeply

for the bodykit part i understand, but change rim void warranty? please do some research,get your facts right and do not give wrong info to the others.

From my understanding, if u touch and wiring at the engine bay, such as installing amplifier for ur ICE setup, yes it will void ur warranty,

installing rims, change HU, install bodykits, it will not void ur warranty, ofcourse u can correct me if i'm wrong.

next time if u plan to include the 1st bolded statement into ur reply, pls dont include the 2nd bolded statement.. it makes u look stupid for being confidence yet, sceptical
anyhow, if u got problem regarding the suspension or perhaps chasis, toyota might void ur warranty for changing the sport rim and u never know .. afterall, stock car are meant to be stock until over warranty

if i buy J spec the only thing i change is the rim and tyre

on FC part, will VIOS MT better than the AT?

theorically will

Check the review on the vios J frm NST's CBT section. All praises by the reviewer, Hezeri Samsuri and he has mentioned he can get 16km/l for FC without even trying hard, and cannot finish the petrol even after 3 days of trashing.

So convincing enough?

but nowadays those advance AT gearbox did improved quite a lots easily can hit 17km/L .. so if apply to VIOS, its still a doubt

advanced as in dsg or cvt maybe la
but vios juz conventional gearbox with torque converter.. there alone kill the fc

FYI... Changing the rim to bigger size or other than original size will only void the absorber warranty... if u change the sportrim following the orignal size and specs, shouldn't be a problem voiding the warranty...
Toyota have rights to void the warranty of any modification done in the vehicle if the complaint that you made on your vehicle related or cause by your modifications made...

Vios is CBU Thailand lahhh...Vios is not CKD-ed!


Well,dont you think the Vios now is expensive? Alot of ppl say its overpriced,thats bcause CBU frm thailand...

lol'ed at vios CBU from thailand
do u eventually have the source to support ur statement?

agree with u..if i wtbuy oso,my choice is j spec..

Since u hav the money .. get the better one bro

Vios made in Malaysia....if not you will have Puspakom sticker like Altis and Camry...so Vios is made by Perodua....confirm one...
