Bwiset talaga ginawa ng Maynilad sa mga kalye dito sa LP, pati sa Friendship Route sinira nila. Buti nalang maganda talaga suspension nitong Corolla.

+10 on this! and after they're done with it, the road will never be the same.

It will be much, much worse ...

True. Singilin kaya natin sila sa suspension repairs ng mga oto natin, haha.

I believe mas matagal registration kapag imported ang sasakyan. Kulitin mo nalang agent every week. Sino SA mo dun?

Have your guys tried turning off the ECO feature? I turned off mine and the car seemed to run lighter and faster. I'm still checking on fuel consumption with this feature turned off.

I have on my 1.6g at. Its just the indicator light that you could switch off and not the eco feature itself which built into the engine.

On drive mode, the eco light indicates if you are stepping right on the accelerator for optimal fuel efficiency, which equates better fuel consumption and more environment friendly.

Stepping hard and sudden and if you down shift to lower gears, eco light is off and altis will deliver the power and speed desired with normal fuel consumption.

For those with A-pillar rattle problems, you can also backtrack this thread as I've already posted pictures on how to DIY your A pillar rattle. It's really very simple. For those who have no time to go back and forth to the casa. The A-pillar pulls right out (pull gently in the direction towards the steering wheel) once you remove the rubber weather strip. Then you can add foam to your heart's content

Thanks for reguiding us to the DIY with pics you shared. :thumbup: Saw it at page 6. Will try to do it one time.

I turned it off immediately after getting the car. Have it on again now, as recent info I have was it's only an indicator light when one is driving economically. In theory, there should be no difference, and it feels like no difference so far, but have never done a full comparison with fuel consumption. Open still to possibilities, and will await your findings on your test.

sir autobeat, if insinuating foam or rubber doesn't work, you can actually remove the A-pillar trim by pulling it towards the center, and add foam more liberally. just a gentle tug so as not to break the clips. good luck sir.

after a long battle with my agent and dealer, i finally got my plates and stickers.. very bad experience with my agent..

[loverlionus]

* sweetiehgirl: ano nauna ka pa sakin e mas matagal na ko naghihintay? ano ginawa mong long battle? gagawin ko din sa Alabang...

*cjv_justice: yung group sales manager kausap namin, parang fleet account kasi sa copmany ng wife ko...

sorry to hear that...

[cjv_justice]

* loverlionus - a ganun ba... nde wala lang.


* all - napanood niyo na yung Transformers 3? Napansin ko lang dun sa car chase scene sa freeway me 10th-gen Corolla hehe.

[sweetiehgirl]

* loverlinous - long battle which caused me stress and trauma.. deception and sales malpractice ang ginawa saken ng agent nila.. yung agent ko nga, june 16 pa sa kanya yung plates, hindi sinasabi everytime na mag follow up ako sa kanya, she would tell me, waiting pa din.. then i called up their customer service and asked if pedeng ifollow up ng customer service, so saka ko nalaman na nandun na sa agent ko yung plates, hinohold nya ako kase bnblackmail nya ako.. until this morning na they comitted to me that they will deliver the plate, hindi pumasok yung agent.. i am grateful naman sa sales manager nila and their customer relations manager.. this is the reason why she held my plate, she released my unit with the upgraded multimedia system, then after 2 weeks, gusto nyang ibalik ko, eh my argument was it was released like that, until last friday when she told me, their office is holding the plate unless i give back the multimedia system. that's when i escalated to their manager and even if the managers told her to hand in my plates, she did not.. tigas ng ulo.. i think all of these were part of her game.. para makabenta.. beware of agents like her.

I've been backreading for the past 15 pages, and I can't seem to find anyone posting fuel consumption figures of the CVT-equipped 2.0V, aside from the bigbigcar review.

Anyone with a facelifted 2.0V? How's the fuel consumption? And how's the transmission and overall driving experience of the car?

I'm interested in comparing the new one and the pre-facelifted model, since I'm currently driving a pre-facelift 2.0V, and I'm getting 7.4 km/l on mostly city driving. Transmission's very slow to react when in D, but picks up some pace when in S. The 4-speed nature is pretty much a downer though, as the spaces in between gears are so wide that it takes a while after shifting to feel the peak power again, especially from 2nd gear. Low RPM torque is good though, as is usual for Toyota engines. Suspension's soft, as noted by everyone, and the tires start squealing at about 100-105 kph on sweeping bend, with a lot of body roll.

I think there's one post several pages back, he's doing a 10km/l on the 2.0V+CVT tranny. If I remember right, his route is paranaque-makati.

Hi Corolla users!

Any of you guys own a 1.6 MT Corolla? I'm just curious what RPM the engine runs when cruising along on the highway at about 100km/h? At 6th gear.

Finally got the license plates last Friday, the stickers yesterday. From April 16 to July 23, a little over 3 months of waiting. License plate is POT-xxx.
