The first Vios I saw was silver, however in my opinion I thought it looked very narrow. Perhaps the color helped with the perspective. I think Black and the Marine Blue I saw were good color choices. It looked great and ready to go. I checked the V-Kool and it was done quite professionally, pity though, I can鈥檛 use my power windows or my demister for a good 48 hours and 2 weeks for the demister. But hey, if you buy a Vios you will know that good things will come to those who wait. I stepped into the car for a quick preview, to drive to the front entrance. Started the car slowly鈥nd then applied brakes on the first corner - me and my sales agent jerked forward slightly coz of the momentum. 鈥楪ood brakes鈥? I commented. So after that was the routine engine number checking, chassis number, paint work, et cetera while he explained to me the things I had already knew about the car.
I listened anyway. So as I was in a hurry to go (office calling me to come back), so I left. The first couple of potholes were just minor craters. I found that the Vios goes over them with ease, however on uneven roads I found the car to have a 鈥榮pringy鈥?effect. I don鈥檛 know if anyone鈥檚 experienced this but I have a feeling it鈥檚 due to the lightness of the car. Now the thing is I鈥檓 not that thin, right鈥o any imperfections can be, how鈥檇 you say鈥︹€檉elt鈥? Cornering seems to be fine as the car has a small turning radius and the steering feels weighted. I would have preferred a lighter feel. However there is the 鈥榮pringy鈥?effect again and this might contribute to some body roll. I don鈥檛 know if this body roll is actual or psychological due to the high seats. I wasn鈥檛 in high-speed driving conditions so this is not tested yet.
But I must admit that the ride quality is quite good. And I鈥檓 sure the passengers will appreciate the ride. Ride quality is better than Satria, but not as refined as the Camry. But I preferred the handling of my Satria. Perhaps this can be fixed with some lowering springs. The air conditioning, as opposed to what I have read, was good. They are comparable to my Denso from the Proton Satria. Meaning, it can get pretty cold, pretty fast. I had no complaints. But this might have been due to the V-Kool? I am not sure about that but I was comfortable under the sun. I minus 1 point. With 4-disc brakes, and as I mentioned earlier, braking is very good. Perhaps some might not like it, but I do. I am driving more confidently now. Brakes are comparable to the Feroza, which stops where you want, when you want. You might need to get used to it, and I think the brakes are better than the Camry just because the Camry is heavier.
I haven鈥檛 used all the compartments yet, but the cup holders are indeed quite shallow, compared to the Camry. I personally would prefer less BIG compartments rather than many SMALL compartments. The one under the air- con vent which is reportedly too small, IS indeed too small. My phone doesn鈥檛 go in completely, however, it managed to secure the phone in place without any problems. As I am using Bluetooth, the phone being there isn鈥檛 a problem. For wired handsfree, putting anything there might be a problem. Other spaces I have not explored yet, but they don鈥檛 seem to be a problem, as it is something you adapt to, I suppose. Definitely more spaces to put things compared to the Satria. However, the glove box seems to be quite small, and the quality is only average, however it closes nicely unlike the Waja I tested at a showroom. I personally don鈥檛 like the centred meters even though I thought I could live with it.
