Toyota Avanza Owners & Discussions [ARCHIVED]

[xxpmred]

Gud AM, mga tsikoteros/tsikoteras. First post po. I've been lurking for a couple of weeks now doing research for our first car, hopefully, etong Avanza. This thread has been very useful and informative (not to mention encouraging!). MC driver po, pero the family is growing and hindi na kami kakasya sa motor hehe

To be honest, budget talaga malaking factor in choosing the Avanza over other cars/brand/model. Next is capacity, last na lang ang porma. Practical lang kung baga. I'm getting my papers ready and have scheduled a test drive this weekend. Hopefully I can finalize my decision on the Avanza 1.3J. Anything I should be aware of during the test drives?

I'm almost fearful to ask anything that hasn't already been addressed but I must admit, going through 335 pages on this thread can be a little daunting, so pasensya na lang po if I ask repeated questions. Ika nga eh, no question is too dumb for anyone willing to learn, right?

All the best. Hope to get that ride and learn more in this thread.

Hi meledson. Okay naman pala ang quality FM transmitter na available sa Electronic depot or sa ACE hardware. I'll be getting one. Especially sa long drive mas convenient iyung hindi na nagpapalit ng cd. Sa type J pa naman ay hindi mp3 capable ang head unit. At least kung naka-ipod ay continous ang music. Thanks a lot again meledson.

yung ka-officemate ko nakabili sa raon worth 300 pesos lang with 3 frequencies..tinest ko nga sa nabili kong dvd player oks naman sya

Welcome to the forum.

Dati APV sana ang bibilin ko kasi 8 seater siya. I have 4 kids with 2 yayas. Entry level lang dahil konti lang ang puwede kong ma loan. Then nakita ko ang Avanza, 7 seater. nag compare ako ng specs. Iyong makina ng 1.6 na APV ay mas malakas lang ng konti sa 1.3 na makina ng Avanza J. "Dual Aircon" pa ang J, sa APV, hindi. Ng na compare ko ang expected FC. Almost double ang Avanza J. Now I am an Avanza J owner.

Pero most of the time 1 or 2 lang ang sakay. Dahil 7-seater siya, kasya ang buong family sa car pag gumigimik with the family.

Dahil sa maliit siya, ang daling isingit sa traffic and mag navigate sa masisikip na parking.

Suwerte mo na puwede kang mag test drive. Siguro marami na ang 2 dito sa forum ang nakapag test drive sa dealership.

Ang Avanza J has a 1.3 engine, power management lang. Kung gusto mo na matipid, sa 2K RPM ka mag shift up. Ito ang gawain ko para ma achive ko ang about 13Km per liter mixed city and hiway. Kung gusto mo na mabilis-bilis ang acceleration, shift ka sa about 3.5K or more. Ako sometimes nag shift up sa 4.5K

1 quirk ng Avanza J. at 5'th gear, 3K RPM, 80Kph lang ang speed. Low speed gearing kasi. pero wag kang matakot. di naman malakas sa gas pag 3K ang RPM ng makina. Typical driving speed ko ay 80 to 100Kph sa SLEX and C5.

Akyatan, do not let the RPM go below 2.5K RPM para di mabitin.

yung ka-officemate ko nakabili sa raon worth 300 pesos lang with 3 frequencies..tinest ko nga sa nabili kong dvd player oks naman sya

i would suggest to buy the itrip fm transmitter. yun mga china made kasi tunog lata na yun output. nawawala yun bass. i bought a china fm transmitter for 900 pesos sa greenhills na 4in1. pinamigay ko na lang kasi nga walang bass saka mahina. better kung direct sa aux in ang kabit.

Thanks for the upload.

Sa website natin, I think limited lang ang puwede natin na mailagay na pictures/images. I think we can utilize http://avanzaph.multiply.com for our photo album.

OK lang ba Akal?

Para sa atin lahat yung avanzaph.multiply.com . You can post all pictures regarding avanza upgrades, EB's, events related to avanza. pwede rin mga model shoots...pero of course kasama rin si avanza . Pagpipilian na lang yung magaganda ni master dfcsantos to be inluded in our official website. Kumbaga imbagan lang ng mga photos yung sa multiply.

Hi ask ko lang, has anybody tried the FM transmitter for mp3 players connected to the cigarette lighter plug na available sa ACE hardware kung maganda ang quality? I remember a little over 1K yata ang price. I'll be needing one for my ipod. Thanks.

I got mine from CD-R king FM Transmitter for only 220 pesos. sound quality is decent at enjoy naman yung mga kids ko watching movies and playing games sa psp nila during travel. My daughter also tried her ipod at ok naman din. I just don't know kung tatagal sya dahil sa presyo. it uses 2 -AAA batteries. 3 months warranty ang binigay ng CDR-King.

eto email add ko para kahit nasa labas ak opis mababasa ko teng_laguna*yahoo.com

Thank you!

Share ko lang picture ng new avanza sa Indonesia.

At ung isang picture ay Toyota Rush., eto yung karibal ng avanza sa indonesia ngayon. It comes w/ the 1.5 vvt-i engine at almost ka price nya ung 1.5G avanza. Nako baka this 2008 papasok na dito yan ah.....

Hi, Judell74!
Saan sa Angeles mo nabili yung stepboard? I'm interested... Can you please post a picture taken from the bottom of the stepboard, para makita namin yung mounting niya? :-)
Thanks!

No, iba-iba. Kung saan mura and kung saan mas-malapit sa akin. Like yung sa stepboard, sa Angeles Pampanga ko kinuha. Same price sa banawe pero mas-malapit sya sa akin. Yung iba, sa banawe.

Hi, instech.

Sa experience ko, kahit BELKIN pa yung nahiram kong FM transmitter, kapag nadaan ka sa tapat ng mga malalaking kable ng kuryente, puro static na lang ang maririnig mo. Kaya di ko na itinuloy ang pagbili

Wala kayang auxiliary input sa likod ang stereo mo? Yun kasing Kenwood (stock) ng Avanza G ko, meron. Pleasant surprise nga, e. Nadiskubre ko siya nung ikinabit ko yung Electronic Antenna na ipinalit ko sa nabaling stock antenna.

Oo nga mam jem, hirap talaga. Medyo bitin sa bakasyon eh. Actually every 4 months dapat bakasyon ko kaya lang nag-extend ako nung huli dahil humabol sa christmas season. Di na nga nakaabot sa pasko dahil wala ng makuhang booking pero at least nakahabol ng new year naman.

I renew the insurance for my 1.5G M/T for P13,704.78 from MAPRE/Insular. Hindi kasama Acts of God pero meron libre Security Glass Etching. Bihira rin lang naman gamitin ni misis yung sasakyan.

Attached our MAPRE Policy Avanza 1.5G for reference :

Sunvisor DVD player na may built-in monitor lang ang P6995. BTW walang TV tuner na built-in. Parang 2nd or 3rd si jaspi na mayroon nito.

I saw same DVD player in Puregold near my place in San Joaquin, Pasig last night. Yes, all 3 pieces for only P6995. Kuha na baka magka-ubusan.

Pres, walang built-in monitor sa sunvisor dvd player yung nakita ko sa puregold. meron separate 2 LCD monitor with mounting brackets kasama sa price. set na sya. very tempting kaya lang di ako marunong magkabit eh..hehe. anyway, balik naman ako ngayon dun. check ko yung specs.

Check ko ulit ngayon at baka na malik-mata lang ako. malapit lang ako sa puregold, pwede lakarin mula sa bahay ko.

[meledson]

Opinion ka kasi na super mura naman kung all 3 pcs. for almost 7K.

jaspi...... nasaan ka? :D
