Don’t say like that …compared with malaysian car? this is TOYOTA maaaaa too far to compared langgar lubang pun takdak rasa ape and engine senyap letak gelas air pun tak gerak . Gen2 ka? sakit pinggang bawak. sorry bro…

It got the best car seat. Best tyre. best air cond. best sport rim. best gearknob. best steering. best bodykit. best spoiler. just everything is totally great. It’s also so cheap. What are UMW thinking. Price should be higher. Even if vios price 100K also too unbelievable cheap because many people will still buy.

Why get camry when u can get a vios that’s better in everything. Honda city? U put vios side by side u already know vios wins. Vios is so good looking. All cars cannot compare with great vios. It’s a moving legend. I cannot believe vios don’t win car of the year every year.

1. Your vios can go faster. Vios meter shows 200. Aim for that. My friend driving new vios claims his top speed is 196. Vios is stable at high speed too only lose to proton’s handling when taking corner.
2. Strange you find it that way. My own experience is that Toyota vios accelleration is quite excellent for an auto car. You should try the new honda city. It’s pretty much non-existent acceleration.
3. You can definitely make the new vios looks more pleasant after you buy it. But it should have been in the 1st place. Look at how Altis and camry now that’s what I can say aestethically pleasant.
4. Spot on with the suspension. It’s just average. How can that be? The price is not average at all. It just feels slightly better than myvi’s suspension.
5. Fuel consumption for vios is just wow! (why can’t the exterior matches this!)
6. All toyota is made for reliability in the long term. It’s honda ex5 in a car body.
7. Interior is definitely limited in space.
8. I think there’s a different in building quality on S,G,E and J. J somehow lacks the upper class building quality. I agree building quality even for S is so-so only. Nothing special.

Come on UMW you can do better with vios instead just slapping a bodykit and new sport rim then calls it TRD. Even kedai abang can do that. And sometimes they do it with a discount.

1. The Vios can indeed go beyond 195km/h. I have personally driven mine at that speed along the North-South Highway.
2. Notwithstanding its achievement on the highway, acceleration feels sluggish and sometimes even unresponsive to me when driving in city areas and towns.
3. Aesthetic wise, I don’t actually agree with the front end of the Vios. Nevertheless, there are bodykits out there which makes the car look more agreeable.
4. The suspension does not feel as good when compared to other cars. I’ve been in a Cheverolet Magnum Optra before and it feels more comfortable.
5. Fuel consumption is phenomenal for a car of its category.
6. The car is highly reliable.
7. Cabin space is limited, despite its outward appearance.
8. Build quality is reasonably good, but not exceptional.

Now, regarding the Vios TRD Sportivo:

1. The price of RM90k is not commensurate with what Toyota has added to the car. Third party bodykits and sport rims are considerably cheaper and nicer than what the TRD Sportivo offers.
2. Without an upgraded engine, or significant performance upgrades, the performance of the car would not be better than the existing Vios line-up.

Due to the above, I’m of the opinion that the Vios TRD Sportivo is a major rip-off, and not worth considering. That aside, I must also point out that the original Vios is still a reasonably good car, looks aside.

maintenance for gen2 cps higher than vios because of low build quality of gen2..my brother bought a new Gen2, two weeks after that, the plastic/rubber at window peel off..WTF????power window also got problem..stupid POTONG…feels like vomit everytime see POTONG car..

…
It’s not about paying the down payment only. Yes, almost everyone can do that but what comes after that make some people got headache; instalment, petrol, maintenance, insurance, etc. You know your income strength, so make your own judgment. Otherwise, you might end up park your expensive car car outside the house & ride a motorcycle instead to save fuel expenses on your car.

> As you pointed out, considering everything including the installment, fuel, maintenance etc etc, the cost of owning a Vios might end up equals to or maybe even lower than, say, a Gen2 CPS in the long run. That basically means if I can afford to own (and run) a Gen2 CPS then for sure I can afford a Vios.

> So, what’s with the remarks that those who buy Protons don’t have enough $$$ to buy something else? I know I can afford a Vios. I just don’t want to. Why? Because, err, LOOK is subjective too =)

If you’re not ready to buy a so called ‘cheapest japanese ride around’, that means you’re not there yet in terms of affordability. Until you’re ready, make do with what you have, ya..

> Maybe you’re right. I’m not “there” yet to buy a Vios. In fact, I don’t think I’ll ever be “there.” But not in terms of affordability though =)

> So please stop being a snob and please stop thinking that some people don’t buy a Vios because they can’t afford it financially!

> Thanks!

Nevertheless, we’ve all made our decisions. Hope everyone’s happy with their choice. I know I am.
