noob question mga paps: kasi parang ang lakas ata ng amoy ng gas (petron xcs) galing exhaust.. ganto ba talaga to? :D naamoy ko lang naman pag nagpapark, nsa loob ng garahe or pag hindi mahangin.

hi VTF.. nice to hear from another (satisfied) n16 owner

swerte lang siguro ung mga unit na nakuha namen for not having those caliper issues.

* Densker, alam mo, kala ko ako lang nakapansin. i only noticed this after switching from Petron Xtra Unleaded (non E10) to XCS. I had my 10K PMS done last week, hoping for it to go away, pero it didn't. i was so tired nung araw na un kaya nalimutan kong itanong sa CASA.

baket nga kaya?

Good for you sir! you're so lucky to have a worry free unit. Mine is worry free na din naman, except dun sa umuugong na gulong nyahaha! Need to buy new set of rubber na siguro. I can also say that this is a great car as compared to it's predecessors the fact na nagagawa naman yung mga problems niya dati. Pero there's really an issue with this unit before, like the rattling sound sa harap, tok sound, pati ung langitngit sa dash board di pa nga pinalampas ng mga owners. Pero na resolve na ata lahat ngayon kaya ok na. hehe

BTW, ganda ng XCS, dyahe, 3 yrs. ako nag Shell unleaded, XCS lang pala sagot sa dilemma ko.

this is definitely a good car.

I second the motion! mga minor problems lang naman na experience natin and nagawa naman ng dealer kaya ok lang. Yearly nga bago ang wheel bearings ko eh. hehe!

What I like about this car the most is yung comfort. Ang ganda kasi ng interior as compared sa Vios tska super lamig nga ng aircon up to now. Giniginaw nga yung granny ko kahit tanghali at nakatirik yung araw e, hehe!

Ako din kala ako lang nakaka experience nito. San kaya dumadaan yung amoy gasoline na yun. Tiningnan ko ung cover wala naman tagas or something. Pero ang lakas nga ng amoy niya pag nagpark ka or pag nasa covered spot like garahe nga

Talagang maaamoy mo yan kung sa loob ka ng garahe wala masyadong ventillation. paki check mo na rin baka hindi maganda sunog ng spark plug mo kaya hindi masyadong nasusunog ang gasolina. pag maitim sunog at ma carbon hindi maganda ito. Pa check mo na rin ang air fuel mixture kung carburator type engine mo.

Tinanong ko rin friend(toyota owner) ko na xcs din pala gamit, ganun din daw sa kanya. dahil 95octane daw.

bka raw magyelo na dito satin, lalo na sa baguio.hehe climate change /global warming.

hina lang humatak kapag pataas at nawalan ng bwelo. siguro kapag less than 20kph then incline, ayun. lalo na nung may sakay akong 4 adults. minsan nung pumunta akong pangasinan nung pauwi may maliit na bridge then steep incline. so bwelo.. yun pla may malalim na lubak at the end of the bridge, ayun napa preno,:drive1: nawala mumentum cguro 30-35kph lang takbo paakyat. ayoko naman i-high rev so text text muna ako.. :fone: hehe pero nakaraos din naman. :D pero nung nag hatid ako dyan sa bagong airport sa may villamor pag lagpas ng checkpoint paakyat dba, no problem naman basta maayos lang ang bwelo :congrats:

yung FC ko nga pla with aircon all the time. ODO at 2k. 8-9km/L. city driving.
sa highway wala pa. next time pag bumalik ulit ng pangasinan.
