Discounted na 1 liter of oil (mineral/regular type) as part of their freebie.
At three weeks, one minor observation (starting on the 3rd week) is that I can hear a very soft sound (like a whistle) when fully pressing the clutch. As what the SA said, this is normal. Nothing, alarming while driving naman.

Being a new owner, and first time driving an Innova, I am still adjusting and tuning with the right seat position, sterring column position (adjustable) and the leveling of the C/B/A pedals. There is a bit of inconvenience, and I find myself adjusting the seat lever even while driving, which is not a good idea :-)

Does your unit sound (same as horn) when locking or unlocking?

Meron din ako napansin na wind noise pag mabilis na takbo, around 100 kph, and dating eh parang nakabukas ng konti yung bintana. Aside form those issue, i really like the car.

I'm also torn between 3.0 4x2 Mux and Innova V....

here's my observation as I was able to test drive both variants

steering handle - mux is a bit heavy but better than our current tucson. innova is noticeably heavier than mux but perhaps the tires are underpressure as what i've observed.
power - with innova's eco mode it's basically the same with mux but with power mode of innova, may hatak talaga. maybe in freeway mux runs better (this i haven't tried, assuming only)
controls - mux has already cruise control, ebd, hill assist, backup cam, etc which innova doesn't have
seating - pilot seats of innova are cool and 3rd row can seat 3 adults comfortably whereas mux can only seat 2 in 3rd row. likewise, the 2nd row of innova can be adjusted to slide back and forth and can be reclined...not in mux
interior design - innova's airline ceiling design is cool...both have good headroom and legroom
freebies feature - overhead video display is a plus for mux whereas chiller for drinks also is a plus for innova
door handle - i observed in innova that you need some pressure to close the door which is not observed in mux
nvh- i find more or less the same but what i've observed is when you start engine in innova body will shake which mux does not.
accessibility - 3rd row accessibility is pretty much the same with one-touch action but sa innova you have to take off the headrest if you need to use more baggage space
price points - innova v is pricier than mux 4x2 3.0TD, well here in cebu = innova v 1.494M (no promo), mux 4x2 3.0 1.43M (net of 30K disc). cash buyer (the company will pay cash, employee will share on a monthly amortization)

if there's anything i missed or in contrast to what I've observed please do let me know cause we are still weighing this 2 options.

matsalams!

No sound sir, just the click on the locking mechanism.

I have been using our Innova G 2.8 Diesel for more almost 2 months now. It is always fun driving the car. Hindi ka bitin when you need to overtake and you do not feel na mabibitin ka. Malakas talaga ang makina nito. I have driven it on the SLEX and NLEX multiple times already.

Also I was able to fit a couple of 6 ft guys and big guys at that in the Innova. No complaints from them.

The audio system is a very good upgrade from the previous one.

Hi guys. Sa mga naka automatic trany, normal lang ba na pag shift mo sa drive ramdam mo agad na may hatak?. Kailangan mabigat apak ko sa break pag naka full stop at naka drive mode pa.

Ganon din sa akin sir. Normal lang siguro yan.

Hi -- is your's diesel or gas? May I know what branch? So I can try it on succeeding PMS. Thanks.

Hmm, if you're from Manila, i guess it's not going to be practical for you to be going to La Union. Mine is diesel G variant M/T. My unit will be 3 months old on the 11th, but my odometer is only almost 3k. But they said it's ok to wait until 5k.

PM sent. Btw, ang baba ng maintenance fee mo for your first 1K. I hope all Toyota branches have same pricing..
