2004 Toyota VIOS 1.5 from Singapore

Summary:

An excellent family economical car

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong so far.

General Comments:

This car makes you feel light (light on your budget I mean), nimble and pack with power when driving on the road.

Its compact size makes driving, U-turning and parking a whole lot easier and relaxing.

The boot size is huge, and rear passenger space is good enough to fetch 3 normal sized adults (or 2 adults and 1 baby carseat).

An excellent choice for a family of 4 who wants the convenient of a problem-free car at a minimum costs.

Aircon is really strong. Very cooling inside.

The 1.5 VVTI engine is really powerful and yet fuel saving.

This car has met all my need as a family man.

But please note that its ride stability, sound insulation and spaciousness cannot match with the more expensive cars, of course, and cannot match with some similar priced cars from other brands (but I only trust Toyota). Nonetheless, I am not at all bothered by these slight downsides of this car.

So far no regret after 1.5years of owning this car.

2004 Toyota VIOS 1.5G from Malaysia

Summary:

Good for small family

Faults:

My car trunk has given a problem despite that I complaint to the service dealer to fix it. My problem is that using lever to open the trunk door which I may find it hard to close. Using car key or remote control does not give me any problem.

General Comments:

The running cost is pretty low compare to my earlier Proton car. I will consider to buy Toyota from UMW Toyota if they can improve their customer complaints system.

Their service dealer always trys to point finger to other irrelevant problems such as car design or how I open my trunk using lever.

2004 Toyota VIOS G 1.5 from Malaysia

Summary:

DASHING

Faults:

Simply no.

General Comments:

OK, this is actually not my car, its my x-girlfriend's car. I used her car because my proton was stolen. all the while I used the car, I found that it's a very nice car for young man like me. its very economic, handling (by toyota is always) perfect, and I really fall in love with this car.

BUT.

I think, its very feminin. TOYOTA need to do something to make this car a bit masculine, or worst come to worst, come with a unisex look.

By the way, it's a very nice car! buy it now!!!

Whether masculine or feminine is actually a matter of opinion. The older school of thought that males should be driving macho square huge cars just isn't valid now. It's as acceptable for a male to drive the excellent vios as it is for a lady to drive a pickup truck. That said, I fully agree with the comment that the vios is perfect. It's no sports car, but for normal driving, urban or extra-urban, it's perfect in every way. Other vehicle makers can learn a thing or two about it.
