Suzuki APV walkaround and short test drive report

[Regz0810]

Hi ReplayJean, congrats on your new ride!
I am also considering changing the tyres, how much did it cost you and where did you had it changed?

CONGRATULATIONS muna sa bago mong APV!!! I hope you enjoyy your new ride as we are enjoying ours.

Nag Coastal kami this morning instead of our usual SLEX route..... choppy yung ride!!!!! Might consider upgrading tyres and wheels soon kung worth it. Worth it nga ba replayjeans?



Hmmm. Di naman uminit nung nag Subic at Baguio kami. Kung may init man hindi sa upuan di ba? Dun sya sa bandang ilalim ng upuan at mararamdaman mo lang pag naka-shorts ka. Mas mainit pa nga sa may A/T shifter pero not to the point na irritating sya.

Hello ReplayJean, welcome to the club!
Buti napagkasyahan mo ang 205 dyan. Hindi ko pa gaano nabasa ang manual, check ko mamaya. How much did you pay sa pagpalit?

hi francisco monto,
sorry..can you ask me in english cos i can't understand tagalog..will be happy to share with you whatever i know

ReplayJeans, you're in Singapore? We thought you're a typical Manila resident. If you spend a thousand S$ for a set of tires, that would be 30,000 plus in converted rates. Manila tire prices are around 3000 each, depending on the brand and specs.

If I were to push through of replacing the tires, I'll spend around 15,000-17,000, no discounts. They can refer us to a store who can replace them with some discounts, but he couldn't give me any firm numbers. Now that I'm way past that, I'll have to stick with the 185 tires till it wears out.

Regz0810, we could add Khaos, but it would void our warranty. We'll have to sit it out, til it expires.

Khaos???

ok talaga mga taga Suzuki Pasong Tamo. today they dropped my friend's car documents at the office. they brought along a test drive unit (A/T).

my workmate and i were to able to drive it through heavy rains, to magallanes and back. wala na major fuss to test drive their unit.

went through potholes and humps on road behind Honda Makati (pun intended, haha).
it's OK for it's features - bang for the buck. interiors look very decent, hindi tinipid.
i'm just not used to the sound it makes when accelerating, pero ganun daw kasi yun (torque/power thing sorry not an expert).

dealer said today launching nung Swift, will cost P30k more than APV. Monday daw arrival nung units. hopefully, ma-test drive din - then i will know if papalitan ko si JJ (my Honda).

congrats to all APV owners!
