test drive!
went to borneo motors (bm) for a test drive on the vios new facelift model. in case you didn’t know, bm is offering up to $6k discounts for their toyotas, depending on which model you’re looking at. for vios, it was a $5k discount off their rrp.
the ride was sorta smooth, despite i could hear the engine on a straight road at 90k. revving it makes it even more audible. not a big issue for me though as i’m used to hearing the engine sound on my proton iswara manual.
the interior is somewhat lacking but what could we ask for? it’s a lower end sedan.
the SE offered free leather seats + solar film + car spa package if we take up their G model at $57,888.
verdict: 6.5/10
in the end, we walked away and went to another dealer. this time, we went to see the honda fit. negotiations went well, and eventually booked one! estimated delivery to be mid feb as the car is already in the port. colours wasn’t much of a choice (we wanted ready stocks) as we were left with brilliant sky or black. hence we went ahead with brilliant sky. yup, it’s the same colour as greg’s fit! >,<
