Toyota Corolla 10th Generation Altis Owners [continued]

[jut703]

Going from a 10th gen to an 11th gen is actually quite an improvement. The 11th gen is much bigger and thus more spacious, has better connectivity (Bluetooth, USB), and has better handling. It looks more striking too, although I also like the understated looks of the 10th gen.

But it's quite expensive - you'll be able to sell your Altis for about 400k, which means you'll still shell out 600k for the new one. IMO not worth it if your current Altis works just fine.

Sirs, I'm considering getting a 2nd hand Altis 1.6G manual. Significant po ba ang difference ng 10th and 10.5th gen, lalo na sa performance? Or OK na yung 10th gen kahit yung ZZ yung engine niya?

i could be wrong - same lang ata makina nila?

The 10th gen has a 3ZZ-FE engine, with only 109 hp and only a 5MT. The 10.5 gen has a 1ZR-FE engine with 122 hp and a 6MT. I've driven both and you'd be surprised how much better the new engine and transmission is compared to the old one - better performance and FC.

Not to mention, the 10.5 gen looks better, and has aux input already. The 10.5 gen is definitely the better buy.

Thank you for the replies. Sirs, is the back seat comfortable for long drives? How about the leg room of the back seats?

Seats are fairly comfortable for long drives, but not much side bolstering to support you when cornering. Rear legroom is awful though. The current Vios has much better legroom than the 10th gen Altis. There's no problem with elbow room for 3 passengers, but their knees will be banged up to the front seats.

Based on experience, okay naman siya, no complaints from my 5'7" son when going for out of town trips. Compared to the back seat of VIOS, I still prefer the ALTIS, since the VIOS back seat is more in the upright position.

Thanks sa mga response. I'll stick to my current baby for now. Ang layo kasi ng jump sa price. Kakayanin pero may iba pang priorities. And medyo attached pa ako sa Altis ko.

Anu anu pa ba ang mga pwede kong ipacheck sa mechanic para ma-improve ko over-all yung ride comfort ni Altis? Given na 7 years old na ang 10th gen, may mga wear and tears na sa ilalim for sure. Gusto ko lang alamin yung exact parts na pwedeng ipa-inspect sa mechanic. Thanks.

Upcoming project ko kasi yun for my Altis. To improve/enhance its ride comfort.

Shocks really, and maybe your choice of rubber (choose a more comfort biased tyre) and then reapply the undercoating to add insulation.

Hi to all Altis 10th Gen owners. Do you guys know what is fuel consumption of Altis 2.0V (CVT) compared to Altis 1.5G/1.5V (4AT)? Minimal difference lang ba? Thanks.

My car battery is almost 3.5 years old and haven't replaced it since SA from CASA told me it is still in good condition. When did you replace yours?

^mine kicked the bucket last December 24. Got the car in April 2012 so it was less than three years (mileage that time was around 45,000kms). If the CASA battery reading says its okay then it should be okay i guess. On my older 2007 Altis, the Outlast battery lasted almost 5 years. I changed it only because of the acid it was releasing.

Ah okay. Akala ko weird na yun umabot ng 3years then okay pa. Aakyat kasi kami ng Baguio this August and baka mag ka problema sa battery. Hehe.

^Just keep jumper cables in your ride and you'll be okay. Besides, kung mataas pa ang charge then that's good. Mine lasted not as long because nagka-contamination din yung water (dirt fell in when opened up the battery to check the water level).

Before my battery died, there was hard/weak starting and at times the electronics would malfunction (i.e the driver's window auto feature wouldnt work).

if the car is AT, i recommend you replace the battery at about now. but if you already have the requisite battery charger and you know how to use it, you can wait until the battery won't start the car. then use the charger, start the car, and drive to the battery shop.
if MT, you can keep it until your car won't start in the morning. then push-start it, and hie over to the battery store for replacement.

or you can emulate my female colleague... she replaces the battery every 2 years, come what may.

Hi Guys. Got myself a 2nd hand 2010 Altis 1.6G M/T, running for 71000km already. According to the seller and which he has proved with records, the unit was casa maintained every 5000km until 65000km. Planning to have the usual change oil, oil filter, spark plugs and tune-up in a couple of days. Any tips on what else I need to have checked? Thanks.
