  from what i heard, vios is affordable, reasonable power and fuel efficient. but as the car is only in the market not that long, i wonder if there will be problems say 2 years down the road... i.e. don't know maintainence high or not in the future.

  i know its light. only 950kg. but i think the new chevy optra is a very good car within the same class.

  hey i tried the optra, pretty good i would say. very spacious!! good choice for really tall pple. price is really competitive (ard 4-6k above vios)... almost decided to get that car! but found out it's not very fuel-efficient. n still carries the name of a 'daewood' makeover. scare no resell value.

  its not bad wad... the fuel economy is not that bad. the car is quite pleasurable to drive, and very stable in rainy conditions.

  price ard 65k + - ... 1.5 litres VVTI engine ... a damn slient and smooth engine and petrol consumation is like ard 14 KMs pre litre ...
  
  just drive before a few times so dun really know the performance just know that its really a good 1.5litres car ard on singapore roads ...
  
  As i said earlier on in another topic ... the bad point should be the rear seats that are too cramp if you have 3 passangers behind ... and also the boot is big enough ...
  
  Please dun ask me on the actual specifications as it is not my car
  
  Lastly ... it is a good buy

  it feels great to hear good things about vios... it ensures my intention of buying vios... but don't worry if any of u have any bad to say about vios pls tell me your comments
  
  btw, how about altis? is it worth it to spend around 7k more to get 1.6L altis? since it's still 'corolla' the resell value should be pretty good rite
