Pagdating naman sa cost to maintain, parehas ang PMS cost ng Wigo and Fortuner. Ang mahal ng mga pyesa ng Wigo, OA talaga. Mura nga price ng unit kaso bumawi naman yung casa sa parts and maintenance ng Wigo.

...what parts?
except for the oil and filter, i haven't had to replace anything yet, on my 4 year old wigo.

Fan belt nag palit na ako sa Wigo ko. Ask nyo sa casa and compare price of brake pads of Wigo vs Fortuner and see for yourself.

less than 5K. less than 4K pa yata.
oil change and filter lang.
the sparking plugs were checked and found in still good order.

we have several toyotas, all pms'd in the same casa.
they do not bother me anymore with the optionals, when i bring them over.
i think, there is already a warning in my file, "kuripot yan. wag na nyong alukin pa ng kung anu-ano".

by that time, out of warranty na siya. sa gas station or banawe na next pms ko...
but thanks for the warning. at least, hindi na ako mahihimatay pag palit ng brake pads.

give us an idea. magkano parts comparison cost nila?

OT.
years ago, i had this suking mekaniko.
sabi niya, "mahal nga ang piyesa ng sentra nyo. but hindi naman linggo-linggo kayo bibili, 'di ba?"
"ganito. isang libo ball joint ng corolla. ang inyo, isang libo't kalahati. dalawa sila. dibay dibay ninyo ng limang taon... 200 pesos a year... less than 4 pesos a week... for an additional four pesos a week, ano mas masarap i-drive sa inyo?"
ex-car salesman yata siya...? heh heh.

Heard the Camry's Brake pads cost like 3-4k a pair if I'm not mistaken.

Not a bad price for a Camry. Do you expect a 1K peso pair for the Wigo because it is 1/3 the price of a Camry?

Gusto nyo ba yung 10K / pair ng Hyundai para sa Starex na mabilis pa maubos?

pero sturdy naman ang build niya ano doc?

kasi last summer nang pumunta kami sa boondocks ng mindoro, kasama namin sa convoy wigo na minamanheo ng 220++ pounder na kano. nakipagsabayan sa amin eh

ako naka monty, iyong isa naka crosswind, iyong isa new fortuner at iyong isa naka new navarra. pati sa bukid kinaya nung wigo kaya na-impress ako hehe

some folks in my circle of operations, considered it a throw-away car. until they road in it.
reasonably matibay. spacious enough. 40K km and no issues. harabas kar namin.
nakaka-bigla lang talaga kung minsan, yung road imperfections.

but lookit the good side. it gives better km/li than the altis. it's more maneuverable in city traffic. it is much easier to park; you can park it in spaces un-suitable for the altis. its manibela is lighter. and it feels like it has bigger functional space than the altis.
i have one. each.

Thanks for inputs.. I am enjoying the car. OK sya sa city driving and malaki nga difference interms of FC. May another concern is, pag naka D4 ako and nakatapak sa break. Mauga sya na parang naka primera at nakaapak sa break sa manual. AT ako. Normal ba to sa wigo?
