sir krazyrock, eto...have you verified your email? if you verified your email sir, try mong gumawa ng bagong username sa forum namin then notify mo ko. ;)

tama yung idea mo sir na continuously promote mo na dito sila mag-post para hindi sila kalat...anyway sir kaya nagkakaganon kasi walang sariling forum ang alto owners except here sa tsikot diba?

btw at least may idea na kayo sir sa alto nyo kng gusto nyong ipasadyang "altoworks" yung body ng alto nyo. hehehe

sir j-six - nung ginamit ko chip stick at turtle wax, di napansin yun scratches pero nung umulan, parang nahugasan ata yung wax, nawala, hehe...tama kaya yung pagka-apply namin,,,anyway, try ko naman yung mejo iinitin ko yung chip stick, bago ipahid sa gasgas....
..ang mahal pala nung camera, sensor na lang ako muna at di na ko mag-backing na parking hehe, dami ko na gasgas dun

ms shoefairy, yup mahal nga lang yung camera. yun ang pinag-iipunan ko eh. hehe
mukhang medyo mali ang pag-apply nyo dun sa gasgas ata kasi di dapat lalabas yun kahit umuulan.

btw our club's EB is on january 26th. sir i already PM'd you sa club carry kung papano pumunta sa pioneer center kung hindi try to PM me here and i would attend to your request asap reg the directions .

malamang tayo na taga bitbit ng mga gamit ng NOS pag dala natin yung alto.... :bike:


saang suzuki niyo pala kukunin yung alto niyo bro? yung sa akin company din nagprovide... hinuhulugan ko nalang...

[herbolero]

hi po sir herbero, the suzuki's alto engine, F8D, has a good and ample supply of torque needed to pull the car uphill, especially sa baguio or kung san pa man. the F8 engine series has also been in use by the famous pint size (ouch) suzuki carry trucks , so i myself can assure you that you wont stall. of course in every car there is a technique para di kayo magstall esp. when climbing uphill, and dyan maganda ang mga engines ng suzuki.

sir i guess the alto can go to baquio as long as sa marcos hiway ang daan... Ang sabi ng iba nakakaakyat naman ng baguio pero di lang na-elaborate mabuti kung saang road dumaan... But i guess kaya naman ng Alto... minsan gusto ko nga din subukan para malaman... hehehe... pero dalawang passenger lang siguro... Pero so far, satisfied na ako sa alto ko atleast i get a good value for my money at type ko talaga ang hatchback na car for its cargo versatility.

salamat po sa mga inputs sir, one car that i also checked out is the Getz, well it is a bit more expecnsive than the Picanto but the good thing about it is that it has a 5 year warranty on parts and labor. This shows their confidence about the durability of the car. My first NORKIS Legacy was also an older Alto, but i wrecked it when a truck hit me somewhere along MIA road, that's why it was replaced with a Daihatsu Mira. Considering my limited monthly income, i'm down to a list of two cars, the ALTO and the CHERY QQ3. I'm still weighing my options as of this point. I have a bad habit of trying out new things so i don't really mind being a guinea pig to try the QQ3. But the blue Alto really catches my eye everytime i pass their showroom. hmmm... hahaha...

[shoefairy]

*weremanok-thanks. .Check ko yun, iniisip ko if credit card ko na lang bayadan kung pwde deferred if wala ako mahanap na installment

*krazeyrock - sakto yung curve pero yung length hindi, kaya need pa putol yung spoiler

about sa insurance naman- ten thousand plus lang insurance ko sa first year, kung mas mababa na this year, sana mga 8k na lang para mapagawa ko na spoiler ü

[shoefairy]

Haay salamat talaga. .May liwanag na sa pagduplicate. .Haay salamat talaga sir zhu220. .

Sige sir j-six. .Sama na ko sa susunod . .Dami ko pa dapat matutunan sa pag maintain ng car. . God bless po. .

[krazeyrock]

wow, talaga sir zhu? Good news nga iyan.

sakto ba talaga yung duplicate key nila na bare palang yung wala pang tabas na ipin?

[zhu220]

Hi!

Blank key muna siya, pero medyo madami pang ginawa unlike yung usual na linalagyan agad ng ngipin. Just bring your original siyempre then after gawin i check nyo agad sa lahat ng door ng alto including ignition. Ako nga yung na ang gamit ko at nakatabi na yung 2 original na susi. Baka mapadaan kayo sm sucat try nyo na tawagan in advance para sure ang mr. quickie sm sucat.

regards,
zhu220

[krazeyrock]

ok sir zhu.... i will visit sm sucat pag may free time ako... medyo malayo din kasi.

hmm..... since may solution na yung key duplicate.... post niyo naman yung sa spoiler... kung mayroon na available na fit talaga sa alto....

[Fargin]

hi pips! i just made a full payment this morning for an alto blue standard model at suzuki pasong tamo, francis my SA is a big help in my decision. i will be posting some pix here if the unit is delivered tomorrow.

matagal ba makuha plaka? francis said it may take 1 to 2 weeks, worried lang ako since panghatid sundo ng mga bata yung alto sa san agustin, baka matyempuhan ng mga mapsa ehehhe

[SIZE=3]Hi guys, I'm new here and I don't know much about cars..
We're thinking of buying a Suzuki Alto because it's quite cheap.. haha.. yeah, well we're on a tight budget so yeah. Actually we could MAYBE afford a Vios or a Getz or a Picanto but I don't wanna take any risks. Anyway, the car will only be for city driving. I didn't post here to compare cars, because I'm already leaning towards the Alto.. I'm just not sure about one thing, though.. I heard that driving the Alto is hard / not that safe when it's raining.. is this true? Because I don't wanna be stuck in some place due to unpredictable weather.. and I want to be able to use my car even when it's raining.
Thanks. =)

Not that safe when raining? You'll have to give a particular reason WHY.

A friend of mine drives a mint green Alto, and I've heard no problems from her the whole year she's had it. She even finds it easy to park.

[Shalooney]

[SIZE=3]Oh wow. That's great! Your friend has a mint green one? Hmm.. we went to the dealership, and they said they only had it in silver, white and blue. I don't like any of those colors! Do you think more colors will be available in other dealerships? Oh, and ONE more question.. how does the Suzuki Alto fare when it's already like 2 or 3 years old? Is it correct to say that even after 4 - 5 years of use, it will still run well?
Thanks.. =)[/SIZE]

[Type 100]

Perhaps the mint green Altos were first-release units...if you can't find them in that shade, that might be the best explanation why. Carmakers sometimes do that...I've complained about Honda and its reluctance to sell deep-blue cars in big numbers

I don't see any reason why the Alto should be "unsafe" in the rain. That it doesn't come with a surfeit of engine power greatly lessens the chance of losing control by simply driving it. Its relatively narrow tires should theoretically even work better in the rain, because it's much easier to shift standing water to the sides with a narrow tire compared to a wide one, all things kept the same.

Reliability for the Alto itself is still a question mark. There are still relatively few Pinoys who've had an Alto for two years (never mind three). Knowing Suzuki though, it should still run fine long after you've traded up to another car in the future.

[ringostarr]

yes it's unsafe in the rain. but then again all other compacts are. pag may tubig sa kalsada mahirap talaga umikot ang maliliit na gulong lalo na pag mababa pa

that's why a lot of pinoys prefer auvs and suvs today. Philippine roads + rain bad mix!

Too sweeping a generalization IMO.

In deep floodwaters, sure, the Alto and its car brethren won't ford through water as well as high-riding vehicles. But if it's just a question of driving through your standard wet road, there's absolutely nothing to differentiate the two given a sensible driver.

Like Niky and I have said, cars with narrower tread on their tires have the advantage in the wet because they shift water better vs. wide tires. Hence, less risk of aquaplaning (i.e. tires rolling over water, not the asphalt).

And I always wonder why the Japanese has a lot of Kei Cars. With all that twisting roads mountain pass and the winter weather.
Maybe its the reason they have such good economy.

[niky]

The only unsafe thing about it in the rain is that if you get stuck in a flood, it might carry you away... :hysterical: ... well, seriously, this might happen... we once got in a flood so bad that my Sentra floated out of the garage... alarm screaming... was heartbreaking when the water breached the rubber seals... the car started to sink... "weeooooweeoooweeooowewoweowoe...*****"".

The Alto's thin tires should actually theoretically be less prone to hydroplaning than wider tires on bigger cars. The lack of ABS is a genuine safety concern... but then, you should always slow down in the rain, anyway.

Very easy (and fun!) car to drive... I could park it with my eyes closed. Very basic, though, the interior is 80's cheap, and the steel is a bit soft... but if all you need is a car, it's not bad. Fuel economy is great. Speed is terrible. Reliability... well, at least there's lots of Suzuki parts here... so even if it turns out to be not so reliable, service will be available... anyway... a car this popular should have a robust engine, after nearly twenty years of production. ;)

[glenngj]

ang engine ba ng alto e nasa ilalim ng upuan? in terms of fuel consumption and over-all ratings mas maganda ba ang cherry dito? medyo affordable ata ang cherry kaysa sa alto..

[ringostarr]

law of physics

try to hit a drenched pavement with a kiddie-bicycle a bmx and a mountain bike.

sigurado pinakamabilis mag-drive by without much resistance yun mountain bike.

same with alto vs. bigger cars.

even a mid-size suv i-drive mo sa isang mababang lugar sa kalsada with water. may resistance na, yun alto pa kaya
