Added on April 2, 2009, 12:09 amjust wondering, if buy E or G spec, cannot go for autofoam?? what else to add to stabilise the car so that we can speed up higher!
I would tell you if you really want your car to be stable more, few part you need to change or to add. There are one cheapest part you can get to stable your car while cornering, that's front struct bar. People who likes their Vios to be good looking, then of course spend more on suspension, change the absorber and also the spring. From what I heard from AutoFoam, the material also can improve the stabilization, but this one I cannot guarantee you because I haven't try it out. E or G spec of course can go for AutoFoam, why not? What I mean is spend a 70K on a J spec new Vios, then add AutoFoam and soundproofing material, change HU and speakers. Total up everything the cost also lower than a E spec Vios.

Kia... are you sure???
complain from Kia user (my fren la...) 3 of them... drink like hell after 3 yrs... guys driving style...
actually toyota have the answer for the handling problem... whether you wanna buy or not...
TRD Vios... the model is out if not mistaken whether UMW will take in or not is another story...
BTW... Toyota stock suspension nv build for harsh handling... they go towards comfort which different story with Honda...
User feedback from Toyota & Honda user... 2 of my fren whom drive Altis and now Accord...
FC ar... mine Vios with V power full tank used until 1 box left 550~580 km...
Normal Shell Super same used until 1 box left 480~520 km...
my fren (guy) use normal shell and he manage to get 600km...
his tips are never step too hard on the accelerator and also never rev over 2.5k RPM...
try yourself...
on the price my UMW fren (work in UMW group)... told me that actually toyota want to lower the price...
but the idea was blocked by the AP ministry... do you think they will let you ar...
Waja 60k... if they wan to sell Vios G Varient at only 80k... will ppl get Waja???
Milo tin story ar... every car is the Milo tin mah... the metal plate how thick 2mm??? 3mm???
same la... Mercedes only put foam when you knock on the door it looks solid...
One of my ex-colleague's City got knock by a moto (girl rider) at the front driver door...
and the rider got a broken leg... you guess what my ex-col have...
Agree what you say. Even you go and knock Toyota Harrier door, it will also sounds like "milo tin" as I heard from a forumer around this forum. Those European car are well design in car body chassis and also they put foam in their car body chassis so their car can sounds solid.

haha.. what r u talking about??? I myself driving Toyota ... of course i know vios can hit 450km , in fact i think it's quite standard.. nothing special.. my wish can hit 520km per full tank
i just pointing out his typo 450KM/H only..
because even Ferarri hardly hit 450km/h ..
Oh sorry about that, I thought you don't believe that Vios can hit 450KM per full tank, I misunderstand your post.
My advice is if you are so worry about the local made Toyota and Honda or even Japanese car, go get a second hand Mercedes-Benz W203 C Class or second hand BMW 3 Series E46. Of course the service cost will kill you but I believe that will be more fun to drive them. I've tried on a year 2002 Mercedes W203 C Class before, the feeling is big different with Japanese car, running 210km/h will still stable. Comment from my friend about his 5 Series, he was running on 230km/h also no problem at all. Really salute and envy those people who own BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Work harder to get one, try them. Second hand BMW 3 Series E46 also cost around RM90,000 nowadays, and Mercedes-Benz C Class is costly than BMW, at least RM105,000 above as I see around the advertisement.

u saying vios handling sux , cheapoo interior n poor soundproving....but it can be better than new city.....mean new city handling even worst than vios? soundproving even worst and interior even worst?? u sure bo brother
.....i-vtec will underpower than VVTI? =.=" this one u sure bo brother =.="
rice can simply eat but word can't simply say oh
wait until the car run-in then u will know the i-vtec power lo brother...
It's not coming here to show off how the i-VTEC and VVT-i work around here, what's the point? VVT-i has it own way of engine method and same goes to i-VTEC. Sometime it's not about the feature problem, the "money" problem. Some people seek for cheaper and quality car, and they don't mind about how is it going. As long as the engine and gear box work well and less problem, then they will love it. Not everyone drives like a mad driver on the road too.
What I comment at here, all are advices. If you want your car to sound solid, go for AutoFoam, as I heard a lot of amazing comment from those consumer of AutoFoam. Not just add AutoFoam in your car, get soundproofing material like soundproof pad too. AutoFoam is to strengthen your car chassis (some people might say to make your car sounds solid), soundproofing material is to block the sound coming from outside of the car, especially our car doors, back boot (spare tyre area) and floor.
