    Hi Tsikoteers,

    I'm planning to get a hold of a 2008 toyota vios. What are the common problems that are apparent to this make and model?

    Just a quick history, I currently own a 2006 honda city and I'm experiencing problems that might be connected to the CVT. So I'm planning to dispose this car and buy a Vios instead.

    Also, you guys might want to give me other options aside from the Vios.


    Please enlighten me. Thanks!

    I think more important is to have a detailed service history of the car.

    Know the complete service records, warranty claims, any accidents so that you will have a better idea of how it was taken care of.

    Also, test drive and have it inspected before you buy.

    Sakit ng Vios ang lumuluwag na fan belt/drive belt. Malalaman mo kapag nagssqueak kapag cold starts and kapag kinabig mo ng todo manibela. Hihigpitan lang naman ulit and problem solved na.

    another thing is, yung sludge. may mga reported incident ng sludge sa VCP. but pag regular 5k km OCI, dapat walang sludge.

    Di naman problem, pero yung skin release brand new walang ac filter, kailangan pang bilin sa casa 900 petot. Then yung hu walang aux or usb or ipod connector, pede ka pakabit sa casa ng ipod connector worth 9k. Yung mga fittings ng mga panel, minsan lumalangitngit, nag wa wax ako napapansin ko to. Alhough none of this are big problems, parang quirks lang.
