Oo nga eh. Kung Elantra 1.6 GL marami na agad akong naisip para magmukhang disente Dun sa shop ng Elantra club mura lang yung OEM side mirror turn lamp tsaka KDM chrome lower grille. Yung upper matte black nalang Tapos meron naman pala sa sulit na mags ng 1.8 GLS.
Pero Altis parin eh. Helpful yung front sonar sensors. Tsaka malamang matutuwa yun sa smart key. Haha.

August 2nd, 2012 07:34 AM #1102Great review *cjv_justice, almost the same impression and experience as you, also have the 1.6V AT. FC ko naman is at 12-13 kms/li, manually computed and thru the car's computer. Route is 80/20 highway/city by distance, 60/40 by travel time.
Pinakamahal na PMS na ngayon quoted at P 6,000 for 20k kms. Also had the following checked for warranty:
1. Rattling at driver' side pillar trim
2. Squeaking at the steering column
3. Trunk release cable intermittently not working
4. Rattle at the rear in uneven roads
The car is at the casa, will update when done.

With its bread and butter vehicles, Toyota always takes a conservative stance when it comes to design.
In my case, i'm usually never "wowed" by their designs then later on it grows on me and its quite fine since the designs seem to not age as fast as a more radically designed car which suddenly looks old when the new model comes around.

agree, spot on feedback here...
alam mo ok yang Satornini blue na kulay... kapag laging malinis. pero kapag medyo napabayaan obvious yung pagka-bare niya. di ko lang alam kung ma-recall niyo yung old color ng Altis na 1.6J na Deep Nautica Blue? ayun parang ganun
ayaw ba ni special someone ng black na 1.8GLS? oks din yun a... but then again yung black na Altis 1.6V is so elegant... kung natuto lang ako mag detail ahead nung bumili last year yun na lang sana, pero di naman ako nagsisisi sa Medium Silver Metallic.
Salamat sir. Pero sana post mo yung details nung amount na binigay sa yo.
Laking tulong talaga yung mga sonar sensors na yan. medyo nakakairita lang yan kapag nahinto ka sa unahan sa traffic light like sa Ayala Ave Makati then lahat ng mga pedestrian na nagtatawiran nadedetect ng sensors... ok i take it back yung sensors helps din in checking out those office chicks in their tight skirts, haha.
I just came home from having some service done with my car. I used up HKS Super Response FS oil. Also had a minor correction done with the alignment and checked/cleaned front n rear brakes. Spent P4,780 in all sa Shell Customer's Cradle. The Dual VVT-i engine pala uses a different oil filter. only the paper filter inside and the o-ring are the ones being replaced. its not the usual VIC or Purolator types but a hard, durable plastic with the replaceables mentioned. I also noticed the underside of the Altis is alot better built than my FD. its hard to explain but the covers with their pins are much better.

^Where is the oil filter housing mounted? Behind the engine (the ZZ had it upfront under the intake manifold)? Been wanting to check it out. The fuel filter of the Innova is like that as well; dang if the oil filter is like that as i won't be able to use the BT223 i have on this car (good thing we have a couple of other Toyotas which can use it).

She wants the Elantra 1.6 GL A/T because of the color, santorini blue. Kung 1.8 GLS naman baka clean blue ang kunin, the new color, hazel brown is also nice. Very rare. Mas gusto lang kasi yung dark blue. Kung Altis naman, syempre Pearl White Mica :naughty2:
Yung oil filter pala niyan ay element type, parang sa Tucson ko. Mas mahal nga lang yan than regular oil filter.

er sir i'm not sure exactly how accurately i can describe it but it looked like its under the belts area a little off to the right from dead center. the mechanic had a hard time trying to unscrew the filter because its too tight, he said he can't just hammer away forcibly so as not to damage the filter housing... very careful indeed. just as SG mentioned its an element type of filter.
* SG - yeah i forgot meron palang clean blue na 1.8 GLS. si wife din gusto yung pagka blue ng satornini e, ayaw lang niya yung mags, parang bitin daw sa size. the hazel brown is indeed rare.

August 3rd, 2012 10:49 AM #1108Excellent review! Best kept secrets of owning a 1.6V AT. Mine is the non dual vvt-i 08' model. I think the only difference with the current model is the start/stop button and dual vvt-i engine.
Have been a big fan of "H" brand in the past owning two vehicles. However, after testing the altis...have never looked back again to the "H" brand. Now, I have two vehicles of Toyota...how ironic. Call it playing safe but I am looking forward to getting another Altis. It just does not make sense pricing the 1.6V AT below 1m.

There's the aux-in as well. I found it unacceptable for a car close to 1M not to have aux input. Gauges were revised and wood trim was changed, then there's the tacky "eco" indicator too.
Of course it does. Old body (2008), old tranny (4-AT that was just modified from the 9th gen), 1.6L engine. It's priced just about right, not a bargain, but not too expensive.
