"$54988 is the net selling price w/o cash rebate"

 

I've ask several PI instead of w/o cash rebate, some say they have surcharge if pay cash?

Seems that should go Ric**** to enquire

 

Thanks

Just come back from a test drive of the Axio just now and here is my review of the car.

 

1. Exterior looks good to me with all the nice curves at the right places

2. Once inside it was more or less the same as the G9 corolla except they did not include the tachometer which I feel they should not have taken out it just feel something missing. hahaha

3. The one I test drive was with the reserve camera. IMO choose to opt for the one without the reverse camera as I feel my reversing skill is good enough with just a normal reverse sensor. Plus I feel that the tough screen will become be spoil easily.

4. Went for a test drive, the gear shift is quite smooth and very quiet in the cabin itself

 

Overall quite satisfied with the car but sad to see that it only comes with drum brakes on the rear instead of disc. Other than that I don't really have much complain about this car

[Panalogic]

hmm... the interior of the G9 looks the same as G10 ma?

 

You positive on that?

 

Cos my neighbour owns a G9

[Luc27sg2005]

btw .. what is the omv of your axio

[Carforun]

Axio's interior is more aerodynamic than the flat Altis.

 

The Reverse Video Monitoring Screen helps a lot in viewing all the surrounding Blind Spots where you don't have to turn around at all. In fact the coverage area is very wide even at the lower level.

 

It helps especially if your rear glass is heavily tinted and can't see clearly at night.

 

It's a luxury car in the 1.5 category.

Any Axio owner has upgraded to 16 inch sport rim? Can share yr driving experience as compare to the orginal smaller rim?

[Panalogic]

i think it can be considered in the 1.6 too...

 

Some 1.6 don't even come close...

[Ccssgm]

16"..........Pay More Petrol......

[Axeman24]

more or less the same except that the the Axio does not have the digital climatic control. And the Axio you are able to control the tilt angle of the head light and the side mirrors are foldable electronically.

[Axeman24]

That is true its much nicer and better then the Altis in the interior. Well as I said I personally feel that the display is not a must have. I would rather used the addition 2K to put a better sound system IMO :)

[Carforun]

You are right, if you like Audio system.

 

For me most of the time I switch off any audio system and enjoy the smooth driving.

 

And the reason I like this Axio car is the quietness of engine, smooth transmission using

S-CVTi, FC and lastly Reverse Video Monitoring system, in order of preference.

 

So it actually depends on what you want in a car and the priorities.
