    By the way, I test drove the Avanza J and Vios J this afternoon. Iba talaga ang ride ng sedan. The main advantage of Avanza is the possibility of future big loads.
    So far, you are the only one that I have heard that was able to test drive an Avanza (from a casa).

    It seems that LTO has not officially allowed the Avanza as a taxi, but there are a lot of them on the road.

    But as time goes by, the number of Avanzas on the road has been increasing. Before (2 months ago), I will encounter 1 or 2 on the road, now it's more like more than 5 to 7. Demand for the Avanza is still there, and regularly, there are new tsikoteers here with new Avanzas.

    Any way, please inform us which unit you got and if possible, the reason behind the decision. TIA.

Maganda kasi kung malinis pa rin tingnan ang wirings sa engine bay at walang ma-damage sa dashboard. I hope hindi complicated ang installation. Malaking tulong din kasi kung may foglights for night driving especially sa amin sa Bataan dahil walang street lighting sa highway. Thanks.
    I have upgraded my J with Alarm with central door locks, spoiler with 3'rd brake light and fog lamps. I have posted a couple of pictures in akal's multiply site. Please have a look.

    Wala akong pictures ng engine bay for now. But they have added a relay (probably for the fog lamps) and a couple of wires.

    For the fog lamps, walang nakaabang na wirings.

    Kaka widro and walang ube.

    Actually, malala pa ang violation ko. Wala akong dalang wallet. Naiwan sa bahay. Walang wallet, walang driver's license.

    HAND GRIP ang tawag dun, ka-oorder ko lang kanina sa Toyota Manila Bay. sa saturday ko pa ipapakabit kasama ng roofrail at muffler cutter. Isasabay ko na sa 1000km PM ko. It cost me P567.90 per piece. 2 kailangan sa 3rd row seat. Hindi daw pwedeng lagyan ang driver seat at wala daw abang. sinisingil ako ng labor na P450 installation per piece. Grabeng taga! tanungin ko nga bukas ng umaga kung pwede ako na lang ang mag-install since, screw-screw lang naman. Balitaan ko kayo sa saturday kung papayag sila na ako na lang mag-install para tipid ng P900.

    Thanks a lot. I guess it's okay then to proceed with foglights installation on my Avanza J. Sabagay, iba rin talaga ang naka-central doorlocks at alarm. Mas convenient at mas secured ang sasakyan. Since J lang iyung kinuha ko, binigyan na lang ako ng Toyota San Fernando Pmapanga ng free steering lock. One more inquiry, do you have an idea kung magkano sa casa ang 15-inch magwheels with tires na ginamit para sa Avanza G variant? I'm just tinkering about the idea na palitan ang stock 14-inch steel rims and tires para mas magandang tingnan ang Avanza J. Meron ba ikaw alam na mabibilhan aside from casa? Salamat ulit.

    Sorry, i do not have that info. jaspi11 was able to buy a set of Avanza G mags with tires mula sa casa I think. He is also an owner of a Metallic Blue Avanza J.

    At least meron na pala tayong kasamahan na may experience bumili sa casa ng Avanza G mags and tires (paging Jaspi11,pls. help sa info). I really enjoy this forum, ang bilis ng response, maraming information available, and the members are accomodating. I used to be in hondaclub dahil i had a 1996 Civic VTi. I sold it last October 16 and bought my champagne Avanza J two days later. I'm just so glad to be part of this group. Maganda tuloy ang feeling to have chosen Avanza. It turned out to be a very good decision.

    Hi Guyz! First time ko pong magpost d2, but im reading threads for quite a while. Actually i will buy a new AUV next month and Avanza 1.3J or APV ang pinagpipiliaan ko...

    Avanza 1.3J - swak naman sa budget kaso yung ammenities like power window, power lock and others are not available. And i have read a comment from othersite (kotse.com / pwede ko bang sabihin ito?)

    "with those ammenites... isa lang trip ko ung airbag... almost lahat mabibili mo naman sa banawe or evangelista...

    pero kung medyo hesistant ka pa sa avanza pwede mo nmn un ihold... me i'm using both toyota and mitsubishi... kaya medyo okay rin sa akin ung toyota pero di sa nananakot ako ung friend ni misis kasi na naka avanza umakayat ng bagiuo tumirik sa lions head pinababa laht ng pasahero den nag antay sila sa tuktok... yuin lang.... you need to evaluate every car kasi malaking pera and investment yan... " - may katotohanan ba ito?

    APV - swak sa din sa budget (especially HS friend ko yung SC from suzuki shaw kaya bargain na ito) kaso bihira kong makita sa kalye, another concern ko eh yung makina na nasa ilalim, long term wise pag-ginawa ang makina dudumi ang loob, and the possibility to tip over kasi sa design, and the single airconditioning ng APV...

    Mas tipid sa gas ang Avanza kaysa APV?

    Longterm goal and family first ang gusto ko.. which of the two?

    Help po mga bossing.. Thanks!

    nakapag test-drive din ako b4 sa toyota pasong tamo ng G variant at sa toyota alabang ng J variant...kaso hindi talaga sya pang test drive, mukhang meron na me-ari at ready for delivery na..he he he.kaso di ako sa kanila nakakuha ng unit ko di kasi maganda offer nila ng freebies.

    marami ng na post dito na pumanik/pumunta ng baguio J and G variant pero wala pang tumirik o kinapos....kung manual, kailangan marunong kang mag place ng gear in proper speed...para di mahirapan engine..pero kung kapusin ka sa 2nd gear..sigurado di ka mapapahiya sa 1st gear, iaahon at iaahon ka nun kahit na loaded ka n 7 pssenger.

    Oo nga eh, medyo may kamahalan kasi daw considered yun as genuine toyota parts and not an accessories kaya wala kang choice kundi umorder sa kanila.

    Pansin ko kasi kapag may pasahero ako sa 3rd row, wala silang makapitan kapag bababa na, tapos naka-fold pa ang 2nd row seat. kaya mas maganda talaga kung may hand grip ka din sa 3rd row seat.

    Gaano katagal ka nag wait for the hand grip? Umorder ako sa Ortigas, 45 days daw ang waiting period dahil sa Indonesia pa manggagaling. Wala pa ang parts kaya hindi ko pa alam kung may bayad ang kabit.

    Kahapon lang ako tumawag, 3 days daw kasi manggagaling pa daw ng planta (Sta.Rosa). 1.5G kasi yung avanza ko yung beige ang interior kaya may stock siguro sila, di ko lang alam dun sa gray na pang 1.3J kung readily available ang stock nila. Minsan kasi depende din sa dealer yan kung marami silang stock na parts. Kahapon din ako nagbayad, this saturday pa ikakabit.

    Dati akong naka APV M/T. Pinalitan ko ng Avanza after 1 year. Sa APV 7 km/L ang gas ko, sa Avanza J ko ngayon, 10 km/L. Mainit sa APV dahil single aircon lang. At mas mabigat i-drive dahil sa body. Sa Avanza, para lang nasa car. Parang may blind spot sa likod ng APV dahil mataas sya at maliit ang window sa tailgate. Madalas hindi ko kita kung may kasunod na car or may pedestrian. Mas maluwad ang cabin ng APV at reclinable ang 1st and 2nd row. Pero parehong may tagtag compared sa sedan.

    Kung malaki ang family mo, mas okey ang APV pero palagyan mo ng 2nd aircon kung M/T ang kukunin mo, dahil magrereklamo ang nasa 3rd row dahil mainit.
