    I'm not particularly worried about it since everyone says it's normal, though it does happen more frequently now as compared to when the car was new.
    perhaps you filled up using a different type of gas..?

    I've been using Petron XCS (occasionally Xtra Unleaded) since the car was bought, so it's not the fuel.

    Sir, do you think it also applies for manual transmissions?
    Not too sure how it'll help with your MT car, since all that I've noticed is that my tranny's shifting patterns changed. That wouldn't be useful for you since ikaw naman talaga nagshishift on an MT car.

    But it might work for throttle response. You could also try calibrating your accelerator. Renzo tried it on his Vios and found noticeable improvements.
