    Maybe you could check out the nissan sylphy sir. At 780k for the manual it's a good buy. We bought one choosing between the altis. It has 4disc brakes keyless entry and a superb a/c and biggest cabin which won it over for us.

    The Sylphy is good value over the Altis 1.6E, since they're pretty much the same spec-wise but the Sylphy is cheaper by about 20k, depending on discounts.

    However, you'll recoup that 20k (even more) when you consider resale value. The Altis will definitely sell higher than the Sylphy in the used car market. The Altis also looks better, at least for the base models, because the 16s look too small on the bigger Sylphy while they're just right on the Altis.

    By virtue of being a top-selling Toyota, parts availability in the long run will also be in favor of the Altis.

    I do wish that more people buy the Sylphy though, just for the sake of competition.

    Thanks Sir Jut, valuable advice! could you give me any information as to where I could get the best deals or offers for the altis? First car ko 'to kasi and im kinda in unchartered waters eh haha yung offer kasi ng toyota pasig eh as low as 15k down, is it possible na may ganun din for altis 1.6G or 1.6V? I don't mind a monthly payment na 20-22k basta di tataas dun kudos!

    My advice is to pay as high a DP as you can, to minimize the interest you'll be paying. Low-down schemes have exorbitant interest rates, you'll effectively have bought a Fortuner. At 20k per month, you'll have paid 1.32M in 5 years, or roughly 44% interest.

    In comparison, paying 20% down (160k) and with a 25% interest rate from the bank, you'll only pay 13.5k monthly.

    But if you really wanna go with low-down, high monthly rates, you'll have to call different dealers as they have widely varying financing schemes.

    Seems that you got bitten by the bug sir. Altis is a good car. You can't go wrong owning one sir! Enjoy!

    But as sir jut703 said. Best put your biggest budget on the downpayment to save on interest.

    Parang malakas lang sa fuel consumption ang altis. What do you think guys?

    its reasonable for a 1.6 cc car.
    averages around 9.5 kpl city, 10.5 mixed city/highway and 12-13 kpl pure highway, heck i have hit 15.8 kpl on pure highway from las pinas to malolos bulacan on a sunday morning.

    Actually, madaming 9th gen Altis na taxi. And personally, the 9th gen Altis didn't seem to age as well as its contemporaries (ES and FD Civic, and most especially the timeless Mazda 3).

    Vios na. Pagkaalala ko notorious sa sludge build up yang 1.6 altis kapag di napalitan ang oil sa tamang oras.

    Just change oil every 5k kms using mineral oil. Sludge build up was common to those using fully synthetic oil with 10k kms change interval.

    He's buying a 2nd hand altis. Di natin alam history. Prone pa naman sa engine sludge itong engine ng altis.

    Not the ZR engines. All Altises from 2011 onwards use the ZR engine and not the sludge-prone ZZ.

    Oo nga. Pero 2002 altis daw kasi gusto niya. Iwas na lang dun. Better get a 1.5 vios from 2003 or something instead.
