Suzuki APV [Merged Threads]

[olidotcom]

Hi fellow APV owners. Lately nawala yung display ng digital clock ko.... wala naman ibang functions na kasama. Has anybody experienced this yet? How did you remedy the problem? mine is 2006 A/T model. TIA

Hi Sir, IMHO its been an issue with apv owners... I believe its a disposable clock.. na may sariling battery... I have also heard meron nga daw na pindot lang ng mabigat, nahulog na sa loob ng dash.

IMHO, have your 1st service at the CASA.. since its labor free and such freebies.. then have your 2nd change oil PMS at your trusted mekaniko.. if wala.. I do advise to try out SpeedyFix at Shaw blvd.. highly recommended by tsikoteers and myself.

Thanks for the advise sir....

Tingin niyo, ok na merong FX style na may 2 jump seats instead na 3rd row front facing seats para makaupo 4 ppol para 9 seating capacity, tapos ung door instead na up-down, sideways, pra pwede pampasada?
I know most of you will dis-agree kasi magmumukhang taxi ang APV like the avanza, but it can be worth it kung makakatulong sa bayan. It will also mean lalong dadami at dadali ang piesa at accessories ng APV natin. Tapos is price nila ng below 600K pa din pero dual aircon. It will really be a very competitive and marketable vehicle....Yung pick-up, pwede din sana ibenta dito....Pwede ba mag-apply na marketing director ng Suzuki sa Pinas?...hehehe...

saw a APV in kalayaan-Bonifacio Global City as a "For Rent" vehicle... yung parang pang outings na sasakyan or yung parang pang tourist transport...

first APV that I saw with a yellow plate....

[olidotcom]

add-ons sa apv ko... yahuuu!

[meredith]

olidotcom: anong ad-ons mo? patingin! =) sana ako din...kaso la pa budget e.

To All: Punta ba kayo sa Aug28 EB? Punta ako. =)

Hindi pa ako nakakita ng APV na yellow plate. Baka sa rent-a-car un.

thanks a lot sir max for the valuable info!

sir yung po bang pag "turned the tires inside-out" kelan ginagawa ito?

if you see sign of uneven tyre wear. mind this isnt a solution to the problem, just band-aid

Lagyan mo muna ng mertayolet para luminis.

question
ano fuel consumption ng APV?

[meredith]

llebanod11: if you read the history of this thread, you'll know minsan matipid, minsan hindi. I get 11-13 kms / liter. It still depends on your driving methods, car load, traffic condition, but I'd still say its a great buy!

[meredith]

yipee! may facelifted alto na with a 1.0L engine!...much better na!
Kaso sana same or cheaper priced na! check out, i-google niyo, suzuki or maruti alto K10. =) I hope it reaches us soon. Already launched last week in India. BTW, may i-launch na luxury car ang Suzuki this month...wait and see.... =)

nice.at last. kumakabog naba? if magkaprob ka sa miliit na battery, just tell me tol. found a solution para mapalitan ng nine plates na maintenance-free. sa ngayun, pag mag sounds ka, naka on dapat ignition mo ha. otherwise sira agad battery like mine. again congrats. im happy for you.

Just got mine last June 8 (2010). I really love the APV. In fact I decided to get one, coz I had so much fun driving my sister's 2-yr.old apv.

And costing P810k for the automatic, great value for money talaga.

Soon as I got mine, swapped out the stock tires and rims, with 17-inch concept one mags and 45-profile tires enjoy na lalo ako sa look niya. Kaya lang makalampag pala pag low-pro tires hehehe. But it really is super fun to drive kahit van siya.

Winner ang purchase na ito sa akin

congrats tol. good choice. ask ko lang musta performance ng low pro tires? maporma nga sya pro worrid ako if 8 ang karga . na try mo na ba ?

[olidotcom]

* sir raffy - yup! kumakalabog talaga... panalong panalo! havent changed my stock 4 inch dashboard speakers.. tsaka na. unti unti lang...

but due to the add-ons, it really changed yung sound quality..

longest used without the ignition on is around an hour.. no problems pa naman.. im planning to add a volt meter para malaman ko kung babagsak yung voltage nya while using it without the ignition on.

[olidotcom]

add-ons pa...

since nag add ako ng subs, my stock headunit jumps the current playing CD.. so nakaka bwiset siya.. talon ng talon yung music ko

I took chance to buy a FM modulator from CDR-king for 550 pesos knowing that there could be a huge chance of static noise while playing music.. luckily wala! yeaaaah!



temporary install ng amp ko sa likod ng driver's seat...

hello mga sir and madams! Bago lang po ako dito I will just ask for recommendations (Pros and cons). Balak kasi namin na bumili na ng new car, currently mayroon kaming 1997 Mitsu-Lancer. Gusto pa namin ng isa... kasi madalas sama-sama na kami lumabas my Parent-in-law + my sister inlaw + ako + my wife and our daughter(5 years old). Gusto namin medyo maluwag-luwag na kaya my mother in-law is just wandering kung ano bibilihin... kasi yung anak ko nakita sa brochure ng APV na violet yun yung gustong ipabili... kaya lang yung mother in law ko gusto yung Innova. Matic ang preferred niya bilhin para hindi hirap mag-drive yung father in law ko at balak din ipa-drive sa asawa ko (which is hindi pa marunong mag-drive). Patulong naman po.

Hi Roy,
Most of us here (in the APV thread) do highly recommend the APV, due it fits our specifications like spacious interior until the third row, engine power, price, looks, etc....

The best I can advice you is try to visit the cars/vans that you preffer. I believe that most of them can give you a test drive.

IHMO lang po. good luck on your search

Share ko lang. Naglagay ako ng full tank Petron Blaze. Mausok naman. and sobra amoy ng usok. Has anybody here experienced the same?

ok na ok sir kung walang static hehe. I had 3 of those (older models), yung 1st model pa rin ang pinaka-walang static habang nagpapatugtog, ewan ko lang yung pinaka-latest model ngayon. kaya lang mas maganda talaga yung design nung mga bago hehe. yung isa nasira ko dahil ginawa kong power yung USB slot niya hehe.

still using this mp3 modulator (1st model) for almost 3 years na hehe.
