Driving Avanza on rough roads

**badkuk** · February 4th, 2014 10:06 AM

Hi All,

i know this is a silly question, but i hope you'll humor me and post your personal experiences...

Has anyone tried to drive an Avanza on rough roads, e.g. rocky dirt roads, farms, hillsides, etc? How was the experience?

i know a lot of people still use multicabs in the provinces, and i know that some of them are 4x4...but i got it in my head that if a multican can handle it, then perhaps an Avanza can too.

Basta alalay ang speed mo ok naman, and better kung me pasahero ka, pag solo hindi mo ramdam na gumagana ang shocks.

I see. A friend gave me a tour of thei farm last week, medyo undeveloped pa as the roads were rocky and muddy from showers. Me steep inclines, i'd estimate 70 degrees or more, leading to/from the farm.i won't be driving there anytime soon, but it did make me think about the "go anywhere"-ness of the avanza.

He was all praises for his isuzu pickups, and recommended i get one...but the fact is city boy ako, and a pickup doesn't sem to be the best fit 99% of the time

RWD and Body-on-frame pa rin naman design nito ala Innova IMV. Kaya yung semi-rough roads basta wag ka lang maiipit. Kung medyo matarik, konting bwelo at kabig sa manibela para di mawalan ng grip yung goma sa lupa. Malas na lang kung maputik at highway tires pa stock nakakabit dito haha.

isnt that "kabig" trick while going on a steep incline only good for front wheel drive cars?

RWD cars tend to lose traction when going on corner especially if its a rigid differential suspension..
