Good day!
Bibili po ako ng 1st car ko next week. And Brandnew Vios 1.3 E A/T is my choice.
Ano ano po ba yung dapat kong itanong kapag ihahand-over na sa akin ung car? Dapat po ba may mekaniko akong kasama? Tips naman po mga Master. Thanks.
Hehehe, parang bumibili lang sa tindahan ah. Kidding aside, I believe, since BRAND NEW car ang kukunin mo, di mo na kelangan ng mekaniko (na mas makakatulong kung SECOND-HAND ang balak mo kunin).. Anyway, it's still your decision...
Just make sure na proper ang documentation at eksakto ang isusukli sa iyo, kung meron man. =)
na-observed niyo ba yung pag flash ng engine oil lamp sa vios niyo? any remedy for this?
napansin ninyo kung nag high beam kayo, meron pang isang pitik from high beam? bali 2x sya?
^Jut, alot of folks here had their Body ECUs replaced to get rid of that flickering alarm lamp. I wonder why Toyota is still releasing units with this issue, despite them being aware of this for quite some time.
Congratulations on the new car! How's the front suspension by the way?
Recently got a Vios 1.3E AT. After 1 week of use, all I can say is that it deserves to be the top selling car in the Philippines.
The exterior looks very respectable even in this mid-range variant. Having the same rims as the G and no black-colored trim makes it rather classy. Wish it also had the chrome rear garnish of the G for a bit more contrast, but I'm nitpicking. It's definitely more exciting than the one it replaced, and also looks better than most other subcompacts. The added length makes the car look very well-proportioned (unlike the City's stumpy rear). However, the car is still pretty narrow and still doesn't have the same presence as a compact sedan.
The interior is an equally huge improvement and even if the Vios is a budget car, I commend Toyota for making a very upscale interior. I'm still amused with the faux stitching. The all-black interior with a few silver bits is also minimalist but classy. The steering wheel is just lovely and so is the HU (though I wish the buttons had blue backlighting to match everything else instead of green). Speaking of the HU, iPod connectivity is great, much better than in my Ranger before. Sound is so-so but not ugly like in the old model. The gauges are pretty nice, but I wish they didn't strip off the MID from the G variant, and there's a lot of space for a temperature needle instead of just an indicator.
One thing I didn't like about the interior though is the lack of storage space. The old one had 2 small storage bins on each side of the center console that was perfect for my wallet, powerbank, and 2 phones. Now, there's only space for my wallet, then one phone beside the handbrake.
For rear passengers, legroom is more than adequate and puts last-gen compacts to shame. Shoulder room is still so-so though, but fitting 3 in the back isn't all that bad.
In terms of performance, the tried-and-tested 2NZ-FE is just adequate. The AT, though smooth, makes it much more sluggish than the MT. That said, those who don't overtake a lot or drive past 120 kph frequently won't feel the 85 hp to be lacking.
Ride comfort is also top-notch for a subcompact. It doesn't lose composure when going over potholes unlike the model it replaced or the GM City. Even at 150 kph on the highway, the ride is stable and feels a lot like an Altis. Steering is on the light side but this is great for city driving and it's what most buyers want anyway. I haven't flogged the car on a mountain road, but if it's anything like the Vios Cup Car I've driven, then I'd say it's predictable at its limits.
The only major pitfall that this car has is its fuel consumption. Based on my last full tank, I only got 6.4 km/L in city driving with moderate to heavy traffic. That's as bad as our old 2-liter Altis, but without the power to make it worth it. I hope it gets better as I get used to driving a small-engined car, but I don't see it improving significantly.
Still, overall, this is a great package for under 800k. I don't think any other car will be claiming the #1 spot anytime soon. 👍
