Hi.

i’m currently shopping for a car and i find your review really helpful.
it’s very affordable considering the car’s features.
my only concern is about the leg room. when you say that taller people will have a problem with it, how about those who stand 5’8″? just wondering…

i bought my 1.3e m/t last october 2009 and i am really satisfied in terms of fuel efficiency… i also love the easy handling and the quick engine response especially during long trips from kalibo to caticlan… the a/c has improved so much and this is the first time that i experienced a toyota vehicle with excellent a/c power.

Well, 19km times 15 days is 285. The Vios’ full tank capacity is 42 liters. 285 divided by 42 is about 6.78 Km/Liter. Still, you reach the “blinking” fuel gauge when you only have about 5 liters left in reserve. So that’s 285 divided by 37, which is about 7.70 Km/L. I can say that’s a bit low for a Vios.

Wait until your 1k, 5k and 10k PMS. I read that fuel efficiency improves as the car ages.

Unfortunately, the Vios doesn’t have a proper temp gauge. The temp indicator will just light up if the engine temperature is getting too high.

My Vios 1.3E A/T was delivered a few hours from now. So that, from an Altis 1.6 2008 model, am still adjusting to minor new/different features.

Am very particular and always monitors the temp when i drive home to Bataan from Subic using the SCTEX. Though I have not gone through much yet and not even opened its user manual, that am looking for the temp gauge!

How will I monitor this?

Hi just had may vios for almost two months now, im just wondering, is if a full tank is good enough for 15 days…. where my travel is just 18-19 km a day, OTIS to makati vice versa. Its good fuel efficient?

Just want to say that this is the best Vios review I’ve found to date! Thanks, J. Angelo!

I suggest magic neutral or medium dark magic tint will make ur vios more classy looks. Better than the ordinary black tint, dark tint matches only black / dark colored
cars, yours is beige. Not sure with the type or name of the tint, try to see some sample at the shop na lang. The magic tint na from the outside its a bit snowy & mirrorized but from the inside the view is clear.

By the way, does it bothers you na ung arm support ng cluth pedal ng vios is made of plastic not metal? Does the agent guarantees na it wont brake apart or crack as
u step on it everyday and during traffic?
Thank you!
