Toyota Avanza Owners & Discussions [ARCHIVED]

[digic]

tabi tabi lang po sa owners ng avanza, but this car is like a modern-day tamaraw fx. everything looks so economized, althou yan ang winning strategy ng toyota.

Sir, have you seen the G series? I dont think so!

[quote=Syuryuken;789319]4 weeks pinaghintay niya kung hindi pa kinulit baka hanggang ngayon wala pa.

Nakuha ko yung sa akin March 15 after 2 weeks na hintay from Makati.

1.3 ang sa akin and hindi ako namili ng kulay.

White yung available agad, naka designate siguro na pan taxi pero 7 seater. Mura ata pag white, kasi binigyan ako ng free front/rear spoiler.

Kuntento naman ako sa sasakyan so far - it serves it's purpose.

In essence the Innova is the Tamaraw FX's true successor. But the Avanza is also baked on the same recipie of keeping things simple. It may not drive like a BMW but the Avanza will get the job done.

Congrats on your new ride.

Sa totoo lang gusto ko ang white na color ng avanza. Parang ang sarap lagyan ng roof rails and lakihan ng tires.

Mini fortuner ang dating.

share ko lang mga kapwa Avanza owners. we own a white 1.3 J variant. I took advantage of the holidays. bumyahe kami ng baguio. 3 adults and 1 kid. NLEX, can hold 100-120kph. Sinubukan ko ang limit, napatakbo ko ng 160kph at 5,500RPM at meron pang ibubuga, need to slow down meron na kasing upcoming traffic, suprised ako kasi hindi mo ramdam yung bilis pero yung engine lakas ng hagok. overtaking no problem, sanay kasi ako sa 1.3L na engine, unang kong auto sentra LEC. paakyat ng baguio ok lang hindi hirap at hindi din hataw. yung curves from Lion's head going up, 2nd gear. FC, 11km per liter, naka AC the whole trip even going up (estimate calculations). Trip back to manila cruising lang, FC, 15km per liter (estimate calculations). Needless to say, sulit na sulit ang Avanza. Next trip will be in Bicol

hi! im new here. we're planning to get a 1.5 AT by end of d month but we were not able to inspect a unit since its out of stock in tqa nung pag punta namin before the holy week.

anyways my mom wants to know if there is that annoying hump design in d middle of d 2nd row floor in avanza? THANK YOU in advance for reply...

[iiinaslao]

may hump sya sa second row. i think if my memory serves me right, honda cars palang ang wala ng hump sa 2nd row.

toyotas meron pa, avanza included.

[pourice]

hi,

my very first post. though i've been reading this thread since february when we decided to buy an avanza. got our unit from toyota alabang last march 16. ours is a 1.3j 7-seater white. mga 3-5 days lang ang waiting time. our unit was ready even before we got our financing approved. cheaper yung white, the discount i got i used to buy a shark roof caddy dun mismo sa casa. sales agent ko si rina pilao.
btw, i got a glimpse of avanza's power this weekend. though basically flatlands lang ang byahe namin last thursday from cavite to pampanga, and vice-versa today, walang ka-effort-effort ang batak nya sa nlex at sa akyatan sa mga tulay at fly-over sa nagtahan at makati. ang sakay: 6 adults, 3 children between 5-8, at puno ang roof caddy. bitin nga lang at di ko mai-taas beyond 80kph although ramdam ko na kayang-kaya pa at bine-break-in pa lang namin. asa bandang 700km pa lang kasi ang natatakbo over-all.

hello! i just want to ask what to expect and do on your 1,000km check up. i've got no idea since this is my first brand new car. baka kasi oo lang ako ng oo. pagnagkataon, baka laki pa ng bills ko.

same here, almost 1000 km na rin ako.

What i remembered lang from previous post:
- 3 liters lang ng oil pwede na
- something about flushing out ...

try to ask sa Service advisor nyo na mapapa- assign sa inyo kung ano contents ng service nila para sa 1000 km check up. Pag cnabi na change oil then it follows what kind of oil....bla bla bla... pag may cnabi na about flushing, engine wash, etc.... ooppss thats over the limit na....
ako kc ordinary oil lang ang bill ko 900+ lang.... average 1K pesos lang cguro means you are at normal service being offered (sa ordinary oil ha).
Yun lang ma-s-share ko sa yo madam.

Kasama na nga pala dito ang inspection para sa damage na nakuha for the period after ma out yung unit from toyota. ako by that time yung antenna ko ang bale.... so far yun pa lang, kc yung scratch nakuha ko on my way back home na that day.

change oil - sa akin kasi pina-synthetic ko na so sa 5K wala na akong change oil
change of oil filter
bolt tightening
flashing - para mawala lahat ng oil coming from the car package, hindi daw kasi reliable yung oil na nilagay sa brand new car... kaya after 1K change oil agad.

so it will depend kung anong oil papalagay mo, kung ordinary hindi aabot ng 1K kung fully synthetic naman yung papalagay mo aabot ng 2K

4 lang yung butas ng rim natin yung sa innova 5 na ata.tsaka paano nga pala malaman kung oks yung mags para sa avanza natin, considering na pwede magsakay ng 7-8 passenger plus luggage. what i mean eh baka pang sedan lang ang capacity weight pero kasya sa avanza natin,. balak ko kasi palitan yung rim ng mags, pero yung goma yun pa din size 14 rim lang papalitan.any suggestion kung saan meron mura na maganda na matibay pa at brand new pa na mags.

dude, salamat sa tip. I assumed na 5 holes ang avanza natin dahil MPV siya. I also have not attempted to remove the tire hub caps to check baka di ko mabalik

Mahirap lagyan ng high profile tires yung avanza especially kung magsasakay tayo ng 7-8 people. Trust me bumpy din ang ride. Palit na lang siguro ng rims for the J owners.

I suggest you go to evangelista in Makati or P. Tuazon in Cubao Q.C. for the rims. Dami Rota dun available.

madali lang tanggalin hub cap ng avanza...sungkitin mo lang gilid then hilahin mo...nangyari kasi sa akin nung naglagay ako ng hangin minsan..nalaglag takip sa may pagitan ng hub nd gulong...yun...pagbalik naman..isalpak mo lang sabay pukpok...hehehe

[ownertype]

hello mga ka-AVANZA..pati pala unit ko ganun din yung goma sa may windshield sa gilid na dugtungan..pareho din di nakalapat..papaayos ko sa toyota sa martes...tulong naman mga bro..kagabi ko lang kinabit plaka ko kasi tumingin pako ng magandang plate protector..meron ang toyota pero 2300,mahal..nakakita ako sa concorde..yung ELEVO na clear plastic with metal framing..1300 2pcs na..kaso nung kinabit ko..kumakalampag sa may likod..kahit super higpit na parang nanginginig na yero...nuba maganda??bibiyahe pa naman ako sta rosa laguna sa linggo..kakahiya naman sa mga isasakay ko baka isipin nila kalampagin ang avanza e brand new pa naman??any suggestion??ty

meron 3M na trasparent na plastic cushion (I forgot the name pero bilog to na nilalagay sa foot of chairs para di makagasgas ng sahig) na puwede mo ilagay in between the metal plate and the cover para di kumalampag. May adhesive yan at the back kaya madali lang ikabit.

cheaper ang white J ng around P19k. I am glad they've included the 3rd row seat in the package for free. Dati kasi di kasama yung 3rd row. Ok na freebie yung nakuha mo dude. Me halaga din yan.
