Toyota Corolla 10th Generation Altis Owners [continued]

[vinj]

I had all those issues, but all of them were fixed quickly when I brought the car in for PMS. They're rather minor, really. I'd prefer these problems than the Rio/Accent FC/knocking problem, or the Tucson's aircon compressor problem, or the FD Civic's rock hard seats.

Yeah... there are niggles but overall, quality is still up there based on my experience with my 9th gen. I'll be happy if my gen 10.5 holds up the same.

*cjv_justice, that's good FC. I've been doing 9++ in city driving using Petron Xtra. I've yet to try 95octane on my ride though; i'm kinda lethargic now since it's Monday morning but around how many km/L better should we get to offset the cost difference between XCS and XTRA? Around 1.5km/L - 2km/L better?

Yeah probably. But me I feel the benefit a little more with the engine's response & power with the premium gasoline as compared to the regular unleaded one, especially when rolling from a stop. I dunno maybe its the HKS oil also... but I'm quite happy with that result considering my driving style.

Given that regular unleaded is at 55, and XCS is at 56, that's just a 1.8% difference. So a 1.8% improvement in FC should be enough to offset the additional cost.

If you're getting 9 km/L with XTRA Unleaded, 9.162 km/L with XCS is a fair deal.

[vinj]

I'll probably give it a try then... Doing the math, if FC remains consistent and there's a price difference of P 2.00 or less, that's still less than P80 difference per tank up, a 1L difference, and a 10kms less on my fuel range given my average consumption. I'll try this out in the coming weeks.

On our Nissans, we've always used XCS as the FC and driving feel was better. On my 9th Gen Altis, there was no difference at all between using XCS and XTRA however i did get some detonation if i starve the gas from a standing start that's why we always used XCS on it.

1.6 or 2.0? The 2.0 does over 200. 221 if I'm not mistaken according to a local review, though I personally haven't pushed it that far.

mga sir Is Pearl White an advisable color? does it really hard to maintain? iam choosing between beige and pearlwhite for my altis 1.6V
thanks in advance for your inputs and advice..

[dfopiso]

^ for a new unit, classic talaga pearl white. to maintain, magpa Optiguard ka sa Bigbert Optiguard Periodic Paint Protection Program - BigBert's! Professional Detailers

[vinj]

Pearl white is easier to keep clean looking as compared to refrigerator white it seems. As long as your car isn't parked in the open, in a high pollution area, it should be fine. With my white Altis, whenever i park next to EDSA and it rains, the paint instantly becomes gray and it takes a hard wax job to remove the pollution smudge.

Tried XCS in my last fill up. Seems to be doing better than Xtra however i've been doing highway driving over the weekend. I'll see for sure in the next two to three tank ups.

may ibang kinang pag pearl white

It's a car that's hard to go wrong with really, especially if you look for good comfort and long term ownership. If you want more excitement and driving feel, you may have to look at the Civic or Elantra though.

cjv_justice, your 9.7km/L was mixed city highway? I just hit my all time low of 8.57km/L during my tank up last week... although i did get into some bad traffic and i was doing some 1st and 2nd gear redline shifts in my Tagaytay run. :D

hmm that's around 60/40 city/highway combo me thinks. damn these shorts trips really kill your FC.

I have a pearl white car, its not that hard to maintain. I perform weekly washing and monthly waxing. But you have to watch out for the accumulation of dust especially in the edges or corners. It will be very hard to clean by hand with soap, you might need to clean it with cleaner wax. The reason why i maintain a monthly wax is to keep it a little bit slippery so the dirt wont stick too much. Comparing the pearl white with other colors, white is harder to maintain since the 'libag' can easily be seen. Also, asphalt debris can easily be seen against a white background, thus regular cleaning is recommended.

Also, the sensors in the bumper of the pearl white V are not painted with pearl white, its just white. If you look closely, you'll notice the difference.

pearl white dapat talaga yung choice ko sa altis
pero i decided sa silver since it requires the least amount of cleaning
i park on the outside sa work, so nasa labas ang car from 730am to 5pm pag regular day ko
then its 730am to 5pm the NEXT DAY sa labas na parking (hospital) pag naka duty ako which is 2 or 3 times a week
yung road sa subdivision namin, may parts na dirt road sya and it gets muddy pag umuulan
parang mahihirapan ako na linisin yung pearl white na car lalo na wala kaming weekends off pag duty

[vinj]

^Yes, silver is the easiest to maintain. But if it gets bumped or requires panel repainting, its hard to match.

[pinkpuffer]

di ba mas mahirap i-match yung pearl white?
as mentioned earlier, iba yung kulay ng white sensors sa bumper ng pearl white na car
maybe yung plain white yung madali i-match

[pinkpuffer]

its official haha!
just paid for the black altis 1.6v this 2pm
