Just owned a 2013 "improved" Avanza E variant in exchange to our Zuke Jimny
I guess you'll be seeing me here sa thread in the coming years.

Am not much into modification but more on cost saving maintenance. So yun ang mga macocontribute ko dito. (Mga replacement parts, same exact parts from other car brands and the likes).
Planned ownership: 5 to 10 years
Expectations:
Better mileage.
Easy parts after 5 years.
No hassle in parts the next 5 years. Mga consumables lang dapat. Tires belts brakes. (I average 10t km a year)
Easy drive around the city and the occasional trip to Baguio.
Btw, this is gonna go head to head with our 5 year old APV, I guess for me its gonna be an interesting drive dahil Macocompare ko talaga yung dalawa.
Ill try to post a review if I have time.
Odil aka maxbuwaya panzerfaust.
In addition to what sitcoms said, I think the third row seat belts is an add on also. Thankfully my socket na for gadgets. Hindi puede magcharge sa HU USB ng E Variant.
