Hindi ko pa nahawakan habang ginagamit ko kasi it's under the front passengers seat (it's a hard-to-reach area) while driving...hehehe

Try ko minsan hipuin kung masyadong umi-init...pero I guess it will, since the casing itself is a heatsink for the device.

Right. Mukhang heatsink talaga yung body niya. Kaso, baka 'ka ko masunog nang unti-unti yung kinapapatungan (carpet? rubber mat? ....)...

Sige, sir Islaw, hintayin ko ang feedback mo, ha. Thanks!

Hi to all Avanza owners!

My wife and I are planning to buy an Avanza sometime this September. Balak namin kunin ung 1.5G model na automatic. Innova sana pero medyo kapos sa budget.

Sa mga naka 1.5G matic owners kamusta naman po ang Avanza nyo? Gas consumption? And also sabi kasi nila matatag or parang bouncy ride ang Avanza. Our Avanza will always travel from Manila-Pangasinan once/twice a week. Comfortable naman ba ang ride sa mga long drives?

FC for my A/T in heavy traffic is around 7 km/l. My cousin's APV gets 5 km/l in the same traffic. Highway not computed but seems to be very good. Guesstimate around 15 km/l, hataw speeds up to 140 kmh. Bihira ko maghighway with the Avanza kaya di ko macompute. Only complain ko sa highway ay medyo masayaw pagmay crosswind. But thats normal with any tall vehicle. Same complaint ng cousin ko with his APV.

Comfortable naman ang ride. Masmatagtag compared to a sedan. Keep tires inflated at around 30-32 psi and ok ang ride.

Depende po sa nakasanayan ninyo iyan o sa perception ninyo ng kung ano ang "matagtag" para sa inyo.

In my case, dahil nasanay sa old model na L-200 pickup, aba'y napakaginhawa na para sa aming mag-anak ang Avanza G A/T namin. Nagamit na po namin ito papanhik ng Baguio, at wala namang naging reklamo ang mga anak ko at si misis.

In fact, parang hindi man lang ako napagod kahit 4hours straight ang biyahe, at first time ko pang magmaneho nang ganoon kalayo at katagal.

Ayos talaga ang Avanza!

Pero mas maigi siguro sir kung mag-test drive kayo, para naman walang sisihan kung sakali. hehe.

Hindi naman gas guzzler ang Avanza G A/T, lalo na kung palaging long drive sa highway. Doon siya pinakamatipid! In my case, medyo nag-sa-suffer ang FC ko dahil 10 ang humps ng subdivision namin, at 8km lang ang total distance (home to office and back) ng biyahe namin araw-araw. Good thing mas practical pa rin siya dahil 4 kami sa umaga, 5 sa hapon.

Good luck po!

Congrats, eyebeemer! Woohoo! Sarap ng feeling, 'no?

Friendly reminder lang po, mavo-void ang electrical warranty mo kapag nagpa-install ka ng electrical/electronics equipment sa labas ng casa...

If you're willing to waive that warranty (electrical), then by all means, go for it, mas mura nga naman sa labas. AFAICR, si jaspi11 yata ay isa sa mga nagpakabit ng spoiler sa Banawe. Paki-PM na lang po siya.
