    just got our new vios last nov 7, 09... here are some questions:
    1 .sa registeration is it considered vios 2010?
    2. anyone noticed na yung clutch pedal is very near the footrest. medium built lang ako and hindi malaki paa ko pero tumatama konti sa footrest pag clutch ko.
    3. clutch cable ba or hydraulic clutch yung new vios? medyo hindi sya kasing lambot ng mga sentra or corolla big body.
    4. ramdam mo konti yung transmission pag nag shift ka ng gear.
    5. pag naka park at may naghampas sa hood or pinto mag aalarm ba? natry ko lang yung pag naka lock (using keyless) at bubuksan mo yung trunk nag aalarm sya...
    6. paano mo malalaman pag overheat ka? bigla nalang bubulaga sayo yung red HOT na indicator?
    7. pag last bar ng fuel gauge warning na agad? kasi pag last bar nag bibiblink na agad...
    8 ano gamit ng vios: timing belt or timing chain?
    9. hindi accurate yung asl ng audio unit nila. minsan kahit pa menor kana bigla lalakas yung sound.. dapat siguro off nalang yung asl.
    10 pag patay ang battery.. hindi mo maiikot ang steering? (electric steering kc)
    baka may maaad pa kayong inputs, questions,other features...

    pero overall satisfied naman ako sa vios...btw, 1.3 e

    1. Not sure, depende na e. Some people who bought new Jazz units are reporting theirs as 2010 models. Yung ibang cars na binibili ngayon 2009 parin.

    2. Uh. Shouldn't you have taken a test drive before buying the car?

    3. See #2. Not sure about the answer though.

    4. What do you mean 'ramdam mo yung transmission'. Also, see #2.

    5. I think yung mga stock alarm will only trigger when the doors are forcibly opened. Wala atang shock sensors yung stock alarm.

    6. Yep. Watch out for it nalang.

    7./8./9. Maybe other vios owners could elaborate on this.

    10. Kahit power steering palang at hindi EPS, ganito na.

    Hope this helps.

    Seriously though. I think you shoulda taken the car for a test drive before even plopping down 600+k for it.

    MDA: vios or city lang pwede kunin namin. car plan kasi sya ni missis sa company. city sana nga kaso nag taas ng price nung oct. and may price limit lang. ang vios may price increase din pero abot parin sa price limit minus discount pa.
    re: ASL sa audio. pag increase ng speed mo naturally increase din noise ng car so automatic nag iincrease din ang audio sound level.. i think mas maganda turn off nalang asl. or set it to asl-low.
    MDA: happy naman ako sa new vios namin. maybe adjust ko lang paa ko regarding sa clutch pedal. sa lancer 96 ko kasi maliit ang footrest kaya nasanay lang siguro.

    1. I don't think so. Sa pagkakaalam ko default sa registration yung totoong year na binili mo yung car. I bought a car november 2004 and 2004 ang registration. Or maybe possible nga na 2010 if you put an effort to it, pero I still don't get it kasi mas papahirapan mo lang sarili mo nun. Imagine if your pulled over and tinignan registration mo makikita nila 2010 ang registration mo pero 2009 palang naman.

    2. I don't see mine as a problem. Personal preference lang yan. Maliit paa ko e

    3. Hindi ata sha cable... hehe... I think wala na atang cabled clutch ang toyota pero I'll check on that.

    4. Uhm... I love how the vios shifts gears... ang smooth...

    5. Nope, hindi sha magaalam specially pag pinindot mo yung lock habang naka bukas yung hood or trunk. If you notice, pag nilock mo yung auto, yung light sa dashboard naka- light lang for 30 sec. Dinidistinguish niya kung naka open yung hood or trunk para pag naka open and you closed it, hindi na siya mag-aalarm. Its one of the features of the TVSS.

    6. I guess so... Haha.. wala ng temp guage yung vios ko e. Its no big deal naman. Just make sure you maintain your car regularly and it won't be a big concern for you.

    7. Pag last bar na sha, yup, low on gas ka na... Pero mapapansin mo na hindi sha critical, kasi kung critical na sha mas mabilis yung blink nung bar 2x than the normal blink. If your car reaches the last bar, that means you have 10liters of petrol left as a reserve.

    8. Timing chain

    9. Honestly mejo irritated din ako sa asl dahil nga bigla sha lumalakas kahit naka minor ka. I set mine sa low, nasa settings naman yun e. Pwede mo rin patayin

    10. Most likely, you can't drive a car without turning the engine on, hence pag walang power yung auto mo hindi talaga sha gagana. But I'm sure you do know that the battery is not the sole source of electricity... So kahit mahina or dead ang battery mo tapos series lang ginamit magkaka power parin.

    Other inputs:
    * Noticed that the gas pedal is quite delayed, pag binitawan mo may lag ng aprox. 1 sec

    * clutch starting. (good safety feature, done in m/t cars in the US I think. My F150 is m/t and clutch starting din sha)

    Happy driver of an 08 Vios 1.5g m/t

    1. Nov. 11, 2009 dineliver Vios G namin. 2010 na din ang registration nya. I wonder pag nakuha ko yung plate namin kung 09-10-11 ang sticker or 10-11-12 ang nakalagay. It's yet to find out.

    2. As far as pedal placing is concern, remember subcompact lang ang Vios. Space might really be bit tight for some. Med built and height lang ako, but i find the position just snug dun sa J namin before (im not using a matic).

    3. Not sure, pero medyo lumalaban nga yung clutch. Which is a bomber kasi the first time i tried starting it, hindi sya nag start agad due to the depress the clutch before start feature nya. Kelangan baon talaga.

    5. Hindi nga sensitive yung TVSS.

    7. Yup, yun na ang pinaka warning. Buti sa G may range kaya malalaman mo pa matatakbo mo. The faster it blinks the nearer it is to empty.

    8. WIK, it's chain driven already.

    9. Hindi ako marunong gumamit ng ASL, WIK this is the automatic sound leveling diba? In more expensive cars, pag bumibilis takbo tumataas volume, didnt happen or not working sa akin. Naka set sa HIGH yung ASL ko. Parang wala lang

    good to know it's chain driven. pag luma na di na titirik tulad ng belt driven.
    sa footrest naman baka nasanay lang ako before na naka slant konti foot ko pag nag clu clutch.
    sa sound system is great you can hear the bass and the kalansing.(i prefer to turn off the asl feature)
    overall i'm happy with my vios!

    more questions :
    1 .di ba 1 fan nalang gamit for both radiator and condenser (for the aircon)?
    siguro sobrang lakas ng fan na gamit nila compare sa mga lumang modelo na 2 fan set=up.
    2. nag pa engine wash na ba kayo? o punas punas lang? kakatakot pag hindi marunong yung wash boy.

    medyo sensitive yan e, unless na lang super dumi or after 3 years bago mo palinis sa expert car wash.

    got my plates! my vios year model on my CR is 2010! may advantage din pag binenta mo its 1 year younger hehe...
    drove it to olongapo. max speed 140 at 3.5k rpm can still go up easily pero driver is not willing (baka may biglang tumawid na pusa) pero daming patay na fying insects na nasa windshield and bumper.
    ASl really works in hiway speed. you wont really notice un biglang lakas. pero pag city driving better turn it off..
    sa engine wash ...punas punas nalang muna...
    thanks for the inputs again guys!

    #1: not sure sir pero based dun sa 2007 sportivo namin yr model sa cr is 2007 pero yung date ng cr is dec 2006 and we got the unit nov 2006. kasi sa sportivo naman every year may diff ang mga unit like color, interior, tire cover, grille, stereo.. kya kita parin kung anong year model. and dun naman po sa sinasabi nyong price pagbinenta.. i think hindi po sa year model tinitignan yung price but on the year purchased. let say 2005 model but the unit is purchased 2006 for sure mas mataas yun.

    #2: i'm 6' tall, 10" shoe size.. pero hindi ko po napansin yung tumatama sa footrest yung foot siguro sanayan nalang po.
