Toyota Corolla 10th Generation Altis Owners [continued]

[Phefitho]

Hi guys,

Quick help naman, I can't start my car today. Altis 1.6V. When I tried pushing start button, it cranked a bit and then went off. Took a good 1 min or so before it was back up and as I was about to push to start again, brake pedal is locked and can't be depressed.

I took a break, when I came back i still can't press the brake pedal to start the car. Anyone else have encountered this ?

Sounds like an electrical problem. check if your battery has water. titigas talaga yung brakes due to the brake booster vacuum upon repeated pressing. but if you can step on the brakes just enough to turn the brake lights on, the push start system should still work

ano na kaya nangyari sa kotse ni Phefitho?

Hindi ko kabisado yung servicing manual for the aircon. Pero cleaning lang ata nung pollen/cabin filter lang usually gagawin diyan.

As for the Start/Stop button, wala very convenient lang. Medyo konting pogi points kahit papano nung sasakyan, LOL...

Yung sa start-stop button, naging advantage para sakin e hindi mo maiiwan yung keys sa loob naka-lock at umaandar yung car. Sa dating sasakyan namin na regular keys, siguro may mga lagpas limang beses ako nakaiwan ng susi. 2 beses kailangan pa ako puntahan mula sa bahay dala ang spare key. 2 beses naman binasag pa talaga yung window para lang mabuksan.

Yung smart key kasi with start-stop button, nasa bulsa mo lang yung "key", tapos hindi magla-lock yung pinto kapag umaandar pa at mag-warning beep siya. 2 beses na nangyari sakin na iiwan ko na naman na umaandar yung engine (ang tahimik kasi), at ayaw mag-lock kaya nalaman ko na umaandar pa engine.

This added feature of the Altis is a big plus when you compare it to other sedans in its category.

[cjv_justice]

Another feature sana they could have included for the 1.6V ay yung push-button to fold the side mirrors. But anyways I'm happy with this car naman so its all good. talagang i love this car...

Honestly? NO.

A 5-speed auto (or anything other than the prehistoric 4-AT) is a bigger plus. Not only does it provide you better power delivery, it also allows for better fuel economy. A 2.0V Altis with CVT (facelifted) could do 10 km/l on mixed driving. Our 2.0V Altis with the 4-speed slushbox would do around 8 km/l given the same conditions. The CVT also allows you faster acceleration, if you measure in terms of 0-100 km/h times.

Also, in my case, the pre-facelifted Altis, an aux port and USB/iPod integration for the head unit would have been a more useful feature than the fancy push-button ignition.

Yes, it does set it apart, and that might be enough to sway buyers towards the Altis, but in terms of real-world functionality, going keyless isn't exactly what I'd consider a necessary feature, at least not compared to a better drivetrain.

and kamusta po ba reviews dun sa engine start/stop button ng 1.6V? Thanks

The push-button ignition and keyless entry is a rather nifty feature. Lagpas 2 years na yung Altis namin and it still works fine. I did have to change the battery though, but it's a really easy task to do, bubuksan mo lang yung enclosure nung susi.

Though I must say, the engine start/stop button isn't really better than the traditional ignition that requires a key. Mas useful for me yung fact na hindi mo na kailangang maglabas ng susi to get in and out of the car. Sometimes, when carrying a lot of stuff, it can really be a hassle to get the key out of your bag. With the Altis though, you just press the button and you're off. Opening the trunk's made easier too, also with the press of a button.

Ultimately though, it's not a game-changing feature. It's a nifty touch, but it's not the main reason you get an Altis.

The smart key has a lot of advantages. On my experience, the disadvantage is that whenever I use other cars without that funky button, I keep on looking for the button to turn the engine off. And sometimes, after turning off the engine with the key, I forget getting the key from the ignition and once outside the door, I kept on looking for that cute little black button to lock the doors =)

Hello sirs, anyone know where to go to buy or customize leather seat cover for the altis?

My Dad's Altis was done by Luxe Car Seat in HK Sun Plaza, Macapagal ave. in the Roxas blvd area. Leather on the center portions only and vinyl for the rest, total of P 15k.

[swordsman]

Talaga bang wala pang stock ang 1.6 Altis? Sabi kasi sa Toyota Shaw, baka by March pa daw darating stocks. Gusto ko sana makita in person yong Altis 1.6V.

[silver V]

Thanks for your replies sirs,very much appreciated.

What model are you looking for? I saw a 1.6G a/t in the Pampanga showroom the other week.

We're putting down a order for a 1.6E 6-speed and the problem i have is the availability of the color i want (black). Looks like there's a shortage on stocks a since the dealers are scrimping on discounts; 10K is their standard now versus the usual 30K to 50K we could get before.
