Agree to quite an extent. Previously i drove a Getz. Didnt have those least expected problems like window motor spoil, steering coupling spoil etc. All the way up to the 4th year plus, sold it off, still nothing spoil. Only changed timing belt only - but that is considered wear and tear.
Latio - aircon compressor/evaporator coil/digital aircon heywire, steering coupling, window motor, sound here, sound there... what else? haha.
Lets pray. Treat our Latio good and hope it will serve us well.
Actually heng suay one, my bro-in-law's latio no problem till sold at 4 yrs old
my colleague's getz 2 weeks old go back to komoco becos gear box problem
