Vios buyers take note!

i think i was lucky with my previous vios then, ... 3yrs and zero visit to bm service ctr .. the absorber still alive and kicking till the day i sold it off.....

What's the problem with toyota shock absorbers? care to share? how will it affect the car?

[Carlover76]

Yup, glad that you are lucky enough as many workshop mechanics have told me how bad the quality of the Thailand-Assembled Vios and Altis, some shock absorbers spoilt in a year and some even less than a year. Overall rating on the fittings on Thailand-Assembled Toyota cars are poor.

 

Will have to see any improvement on the new batch of Vios as I still remember the first few batches of Vios have problems like gear box faulty, air-con compressor spoilt etc.

ya lor... can share wif us the prob wif the shock absorbers??

[inlinesix]

Yaloh, share wif all of us here. Sidetrack a bit, last sat, i saw a picnic bottom banging on d road on NSH. That Picnic is full from front 2 back. Mayb it's a Toyota wide problem.

Last time i drove a corolla xli indeed the shock absorber was lousy,less then 3 yrs onli already failed. My current ride Vios has been driving for 2 yrs leow the shock absorber still very good, wanted to make it spoil (intend to change to sports type) oso won't fail, sigh

vios is flat. Well spec I will say for that cat. Potential top seller in 1.5l cat.

 

 

since when vios rear seat ctr floor is flat like those from honda

 

 

Go look at rear of New Vios, rear seat is flat, exactly same as Honda ...

[Toyo]

Honda already had this feature on the previous gen civic. even jazz/fit/city already has the rear flat seat. nevertheless, it's a good move from toyota

[Keithpapa]

only if the price is right. as of now i wld rather get a nissan latio as it has higher specs and equipment level

 

Sorry, no nissan for me yet.

[Keithpapa]

go thru hump at high speed.

[Blackyv]

is it??... then new vios leh...btw,

[Kityip]

yalor... the other day, my BIL bought a latio, when he told his FIL, his FIL says, aiyah, should get altis mah.. altis FC very good one, why buy lanchiaw?. aiyah..sign already huh??.......

 

see how those people being brainwashed with the brand?...

 

Latio is not bad also beside it's look. Quite well spec and decent FC. Toyota earns the reputation thru time just like Honda. Just like school and other stuff that we bought. Perception is impt.

 

The Latio Sports is nice, but the sedan looks like "coffin van"...

Guys, if you all look carefully between the Belta and the New Vios, it is the same car. Just that when Borneo brings it in, they have changed the name to Vios instead.

I think the naming is dependant on difference marketing strategy. For JDM, it is call Belta. For Asia ex Japan, it is call Vios. For other mkt, it is call Yaris Sedan. I think BM has no control over the naming. Either TMC/TMAP has the rite. FYI, I do not work in any Toyota related co. I m juz stating d fact.
