I'm sure most of you have learnt of the recent passing away of my Mom from visiting my personal blog, a couple weeks back. Anyway, lets get back to the questions at hand. Jchan @ One things for sure, the Yaris is a fully imported model as compared to the local assembled VIOS sold here in Malaysia, this would definitely be one of the main reason for having a higher price tag. Ladybird @ We are glad that you found this article somewhat useful to you. Ya, I do admit that at times looks do matter, but if you look at all the specs I pointed out in this review, there are plenty of plus points to consider besides just concentrating on whether it looks pretty. Even as we analyze this topic, UMW Toyota has already a promotion running, where they're offering Rebates and/or eService Vouchers. And trust me, I've even heard of Sales Reps offering RM3K discounts, due to the high competition amongst their other branches. So, now would be a good time to own one. And remember this, as its usually the same with all cars in the world, whenever a new model comes out, the previous model will suffer a drop in resale value. Hi Guys,

It's definitely different with the 2nd generation. The body of the car much more higher than the previous model. Plus, the storing place getting bigger than before. For the interior part, It's really seen like the Yaris model. Like the 60/40 split ratio and flat floor. But I still like the way they design. ^^ Any where, I still wonder why the Yaris is more expensive than the new Vios? Really enjoy driving with New Vios.. ^^ Finally I receive the car fews days ago, 1.5G model with Gray color.

Apparently, a lot of us find the placement akward. But there are some good points about them. The main reason why they have designed it in such a manner, is to reduce eye movement and the time it takes the driver to read the gauges. This is somewhat achievable due to the fact that the meter is on the same horizontal level as the driver's line-of-sight. So, you get more left & right viewing and lesser ups & downs. As for the case of the rear split-fold seats, well apparently the Toyota Vios will be given a 60/40 split ratio in it's G variant. Whether it stays true to that figure, well, we would just have to wait and see, when it launches in Malaysia in the coming months. It actually needs a little bit of getting use to (centre console).

I understand that it's supposed to be better since you don't have to try and look through the steering wheel, but is it really that much better? Also, what is the arrangment of the split-fold seat? Most American cars are supposed to be 60%-40%, but it actually turns out to be 45%-25% because of how the forward wall of the trunk is designed to support the seats. It actually makes it difficult to put oversized items in the trunk. However, my VW has a true 60%-40% split seat, plus a small center flip down door. We use the flip down door more often than the seats, usually because we have both our children with us. But it's nice to have the option to flip down the 40% side if necessary and put the kids on one seat. I like the dash console (it’s colorful) but I’m still not sure about having it center mounted.

And adding to that, the new Vios comes with a split fold rear set, giving that whole load of sizeable booth space, if compared with its current model. Frankly, it's a model worth checking out.

I don't find it particularly attractive, maybe it looks better on the road. A strange bonnet too. That is one weird looking car.
