I tested this back to back with the Veloz and I do think the Veloz is the better buy car. Losing out on the crystal clear 360 camera and handling slightly but the amount of space is really way more superior and the Veloz is also a very comfortable car with higher seating position and view.
@@leeaaron7856 in normal situations i agree with you but when you live in an area with bad roads the slightly higher ride height will give you more comfort.
@@willidevegt8831yes. My Vios always have it's bottom scratch at speed bumps especially I am ferrying more than 3 adults. A higher ride height definitely is much superior.
@@willidevegt8831 Yup, Veloz feels at home when you drive in Kampung roads at low speeds, it really feels like it was meant to be in those roads. It's narrow body and light steering makes it very easy to drive in narrow roads. But on higher speeds, it will get quite bouncy, not harsh, but quite a lot of bouncing due to the longer suspension travel
This is not a family car anymore. When you can afford this car, you are no longer a fresh grad, you are a new owner of a house. Your new house needs you to buy IKEA furniture. You need the rear seats to fold to allow you fit in the IKEA furniture. You may be a father of newborns. When you install a baby car seat at the rear seat, you will wish you had more space. Go test drive Toyota Veloz and see how much handling ability that you are willing to compromise.
@@Nouserdefault , I tested Honda City too. After considering it lacks 360 camera and the handling and NVH are only slightly better than Veloz, I chose Veloz. I need space and ease of access for carrying children's stuff. Veloz power is adequate but not underpowered.
@@1chaiaftermarket 360camera and BSM can be installed on the city and the cost is about the same as you buy a spare tire from toyota showroom for a vios ~RM1.3-1.5k
This video feels more like an ad than a review. Almost 1 minute defending the decision not to include spare tire is kinda sad. Also Bmw give run flat tires so that's why they can omit spare tires 🙃
Huge improvement in design, looks, NVH, interior and slightly broader, longer than its earlier model. Right pricing at RM95.5K. However, on a short test drive despite in 'power mode', the car tend to drag uphill (underpower) with louder rattling exhaust. Perhaps a 1.6L would have made the 2023 Vios just perfect ?
We purchased a Toyota Vios as a second car 2 years ago. we have only driven it 8500 km. It is not a well built car. Its quality is sub par. A lot of minor issues such as reverse camera malfunction, display malfunction, poor mechanical quality, body integrity, etc. I don’t know if Toyota corporation quality has fallen or it is a function of Malaysian assembly. I don’t recommend this car to anyone who wants a reliable and dependable automobile.
Premium price tag for a essentially b segment sedan. And u dont even get spare tyre and option to fold down your rear seat! I think honda city v sensing win easily
This video only convince me more that Veloz is the better choice than this. With its price to match, yet offer much more space while little compromise on handling and power. But both are in different segment, yet I would cross shop and get the more practical car in a long run.
Hah, yea man, Veloz has option for 2 extra seats, and gets much larger headroom, can slide middle row back in 4 seater config for much more leg room Gets a spare tyre, folding seats. Though i'd prefer a slightly lower ground clearance to get better handling for the Veloz, all in all it's actually a bargain
@@haaland5303 yup But all in all, a lot of younger people won't wanna drive an MPV for their daily car. But also I think a lot of people aren't aware that the Veloz is 500 ringgit cheaper and handles pretty close to the Vios just that it has more body roll due to the higher ride height
Do not even begin to consider buying this car till you test drive it (preferably twice). The only good thing i found was the infotainment unit and looks. The car is loud and underpowered, especially when in sports mode. Its way too expensive for what it offers. This isnt a review, its an ad.
As someone who drive alot, having no spare tyre is just bonkers. Even the Thailand models is equipped with it. Rather than weight savings, its just plain cost reduction. Trying using the tyre goo and see how unhappy the shop will be as their machines will be splattered by it. Comparing it to the BMW is a faux pass especially when the demographics for the car is clearly different. One is meant to be enjoyed during warranty period, the other is an everyday joe's daily. Cabin itself is a downgrade toward our neighbour's counterpart, doesn't help similarly priced contemporary at least have soft-touch door cards. Let me just digress on the rear headroom.
@@haaland5303I believe you can retrofit the spare wheel inside just loosing out the organizer shelf. For me I prefer the pump and repair kit. Spare wheel is useless imo after years of driving. If you have a small leak or flat use the pump and air it up then drive to the nearest Tyre shop to patch the hole. No sweat no fuss. If the damage is severe call the tow truck from your insurance. It’s foc. My point of view it’s no longer practical to change your wheel esp dangerous if you’re stranded in the middle of highway. You will be at risk of getting knocked by fast vehicle. Not to mention it is hot sweaty and tiring. Lastly not many Malaysians bother to maintain their spare wheel. After a few years later when you need to use the spare Tyre during emergency, you found out it’s not sufficiently aired or expired unfit for use on the road. Tyres have shelf life as well. How often do we change the spare tyres when we change all 4 wheel tyres together?
I only got my first flat after 7 years of driving. And it was just a simple nail puncture which a repair kit would've solved easily. Furthermore, in the end the spare was useless because workshops overtightened the lug nuts, making it virtually impossible to remove with just the emergency tools. Drove with a flat to workshop and even they struggled to remove the lug nut. That lead to the flat tyre being damaged beyond repair and had to buy a new tyre. Also, I mountain bike. Very common to be isolated in the woods when mountain biking, no one around and far from everything and everyone. So, when you get a flat, guess what you got... tyre repair kit!
The new Vios has alot going for it. BUT for me i feel Toyota made a huge mistake by fixing the backseat. If i go to Ikea and buy a table or a desk how to bring back if the seat xan not fold? I am in the market for a new car and i wad looking at the BIOS but this seat Problem makes the car not practical for me
@@hyder4652 what you say is correct not many times you need to fold the seat and like you say lorry got lah BUT why should i pay for a lorry and driver just because Toyota decided to safe a couple of $$$ And don`t forget every time you ever need to fold your seat because of large objects you need to pay the lorry I`m 54 years old and i can`t remember ever being in a car that couldn`t fold the seat (unless sportscar of cause) so i feel its not nice of Toyota doing this so they can safe a few $$$ If you own the car and you love it that's good for you for me i will not buy a car that in my eyes is incomplete Also don`t forget as long no one voice out for sure nothing will change and next time they might take something else to safe a few $$$ who knows they decide to no longer put carpet in the boot of the car or maybe they will not provide floor mats any more because people will buy Trapo or other rubber mats
this is one of the best cars currently even though there're some cons like no folding rear seat but other than that it's a very good car you can't go wrong with the vios 💖😊
@@Nouserdefault but there is some cons like very mediocre build quality but some people said couple of commented about it but the facelifted model is coming very soon
@@aimanfitri0ivhave you seen the Vios 2023 group in FB? Try see how many people complaining about the steering rack, rattling noise, cup holder closing issue, vortex generator producing weird noises, 360 degree camera issue, and the list goes on.. I’m a first hand owner of the Vios 2023 and I regretted my decision.. initially I wanted to go for Honda City, but didn’t because Vios 2023 is still very new at that time..
@@Nouserdefaulthaha...encik rasa H city xde problem semua tu ke?...steering rack...rattling issue...engine noise like diesel engine....pintu lembik serupa tin milo....dan byk lagi....satu je yg H city..camera 360 H city tidak pernah ada problem (tau kan sbb apa 360 H city xde problem?)
I am planning to buy a car. But since this Vios model does not comes with a spare tyre and the back seats cannot be lowerd, I will not be considering this
Not a Family friendly Sedan la ... Not Practical at all .. Suitable for Young single Men or Women .. with the cool look and all .. For Family Veloz is the better buy ...
I’m quite disappointed when you comparing with bmw. BMW give run flat tires not normal tires like vios. I’m regularly travel from north to east peninsular Malaysia. I’ve encounter 2 times tire explode/burst at gerik due to pothole and one of it during raining at night. I really think the spare tire is very important
To Adrian, Too many "most importantly" in your script. May use "to the greatest extent", "for most people care about", "and surprisingly"... Hope this help.
How much endorsement fees does Toyota paid you to spit-out these BS? No spare tyre, non-foldable rear seat, price increase, and worse of all is the Perodua dashboard. For these amount money, I'll rather get the current Honda City RS Petrol.
Ya but IMO 360 camera and BSM can be installed on city for about the same price as the official vios spare tire sold By toyota showroom. However, one cannot simply upgrade their engine from 104hp to 121hp or upgrade the interior space via any aftermarket means (mod is exception) 😅 not to mention the rear folding seats and rear centre armrest on the city
You know Honda City has a more powerful engine than the Vios 2023, and still able to keep its fuel efficiency on par with Vios 2023. This ain’t no review.. THIS A BLOODY ADVERTISEMENT FOR VIOS
