| General comments: | Though this car is generally ok as what it was intended to be, an economy sedan, people who are used to high-end shouldn't expect BMW or Mercedes quality in such a car. The Vios serves its purpose well. There maybe a few bugs such as grating transmission, the big blind spots in the A pillars, the bumpy ride and the overeacting rev limiter but it is economical getting me a max of 18 km/liter of gas and is fast and nimble on the road. I would consider buying another one or maybe its mechanical twin, the 2007 Yaris sedan |
| What things have gone wrong with the car: | So far I have had a defective O2 sensor in 2004 and leaky tailights a few months later which were replaced by Toyota free of charge. There was a problem with the headlights when it was first delivered. The problem was a defective headlight switch which caused the fuses to blow but it went away after a few weeks and has been ok ever since. The dome light (interior) was replaced due to premature corroding of the terminals. Most of the problems of the Vios seem to be the electrical components which were supplied locally in Thailand.... Go figure.... |
