Toyota Vios Hybrid 1.5 Review

The Toyota Vios has always played a very specific role in Singapore. It has been the dependable one. The practical one. The car families recommend, the one ride-hailing drivers trust, the one that quietly gets on with life without needing applause. But exciting, it is not. This new version, however, surprised me more than I expected. In fact, I kept finding myself saying, “Eh, not bad leh,” which in local speak is ...
