Jagash Neutral Newbie January 24, 2003 Share January 24, 2003 For me, between the Corolla and Vios, definitely choose Corolla for better resale + space. Cheers! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazziegirl Clutched January 24, 2003 Share January 24, 2003 BT, 24 Jan: Borneo was among the first to post new prices to reflect yesterday's sizeable drop in certificate of entitlement rates. An entry-level Toyota Vios is going for just over $64,000, while a Picnic people mover is priced below $100,000. Vios price getting cheaper!!!!!

Madarmour Neutral Newbie January 25, 2003 Share January 25, 2003 Quote Come on, How often do you do 4000+ rpm esp in 3rdand 4th gears. At 2,700 rpm, the torque for the City and Vios is similar. Well, we don't normally go at 4000+ rpm, but if you need to, the higher torque will be quite useful! At 3rd gear, it can mean a more confident overtaking maneuver.

BoneStock 5th Gear January 27, 2003 Share January 27, 2003 Went to test drive the Vios this morning...the showroom was very crowded for a weekday morning. My SE finally managed to secure a test car after almost 20mins, it was a S-grade. Handling of the car is good, cornering also quite stable, but I just can't get used to the digital display, looks atificial and gives me a slight headache after staring at it for too long. Floored the accelerator all the way and was able to hit 120kph quite effortlessly in 3rd gear...but dunno whether the digital speedo accurate or not 'cos the car sure felt slower than 120...more like 90~100. Engine noise was quite pronouced at high rpms as compared to my City....brought it to 5000+ rpm. The gear change was smoother than my City, but kick downs are abit slow...not so responsive to flooring of acc. The cabin feels very crampy....seriously I dunno why cos it has almost identical cabin dimension as my City....1695 width, 2500 wheelbase. Feels a little "suffocated" in the cabin, especially when in the rear seats...backreat was too upright. My City can seat 5 adults comfortably, can't say the same for Vios. I had high hopes on the Vios before the test drive, but now I've decided to stick to my current car...at least for a little while longer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Neutral Newbie January 27, 2003 Share January 27, 2003 It looks like a good catch until yr review. By the way anyone hv pics of vios? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoneStock 5th Gear January 27, 2003 Share January 27, 2003 Hi Smiley, Don't take my word for it...go for a test drive yourself. Who knows, you may like the car after getting your hands on it physically. No car is perfect, if the car suits your needs, then it's a good car already. You can find pics from www.vios.com.sg or www.solunavios.com Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagash Neutral Newbie January 27, 2003 Share January 27, 2003 Same here + cannot figure why Vios not exported back to Japan since Thailand plant rated so highly! Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gdiking Neutral Newbie January 27, 2003 Share January 27, 2003 Max torque achievable at lower rpm is more suited for our type of start/stop traffic. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
