  As far as I know, the so-called 2006 Vios is a facelift model without any enhancement to the engine or chasis. So the ride should feel generally the same.
  
  In terms of the changes to the car, the first change you will notice are the headlights and the grill. The shape of the headlight is slightly different and the grill is now more pronounced. If you ask me, I feel the grill looks a bit like that of the Proton Gen.2. If you buy the top-end version, the fog light is also of a different shape compared to the pre-facelife model. Those who have keen eyes will also notice a slight change in the rear lamp cluster, nothing fantastic about the change though. Last but not least, the Vios has a different type of antenna now. The previous type of antenna is long and not adjustable. If I am not wrong, I think the name for the type of antenna is "bee-sting". The "bee-sting" antenna have adjustable angle. Toyota Wish has that version too.
  
  I also heard that the new Vios does not come with any sports kit this time round no matter what version you buy.
  
  Internally, not much has change. The display has slight modifications and it is really nothing to shout about. The new audio system is quite good though cos it plays MP3s this time round. Finally, the new Vios has a centre console box behind the handbrake. In the previous version, the Vios only have a tray. The new centre console box kind of double up as a armrest for the driver.
  
  Hope this is useful.
