Toyota Corolla 10th Generation Altis Owners [continued]

^ Saw the TRD earlier today at Toyota as well. They have a medium silver unit on display at Toyota Shaw. It looks nice and clean really (never was a fan of borloloy body kits).

Hehe... hirap when you see something close to your price range? With the Altis 1.6L a/t, you'll be giving away around 2-3km/L in city driving as against the Vios most likely. The Vios of course will still be easier to drive around the city due to the smaller size but i have no regrets with my Altis. It feels like a 2.0L class vehicle already if you've owned an Accord, Cefiro or Corona from the late 90s to early/mid 00s.

My car will be at the shop for a couple of days to do warranty repair on the "tok" sound on the brakes. I hope they really get to fix it now and the SA told me that they may need to replace something.

They did not change anything per the SA and i can already hear it starting to come out once again. I'm thinking of going to another CASA when i have the time to consult them too (maybe Toyota Makati).

Thermalyte is the brighter silver.

*hops, you use 3 normally when you're in need of more control of the car (slight engine braking, more immediate power in). I usually use D3 when i'm driving on twisty two laners (i.e. Kennon Road) or I'm on thick but fast moving traffic on the highway. D2 when you're climbing or descending inclines or if i'm preparing to pass another vehicle on tight traffic on a two lane highway, 1 when you're climbing or descending really steep inclines.

Thanks for the update vinj. By the way, my story on the "tok" sound is from Toyota Makati. They replaced a bolt and a rubber bushing, but after a couple of weeks, the "tok" is back.

Erk... back to the drawing board. That saved me time though...
