[silver V]

Same here sir loverlionus lagi rin sa 28 temp ng aircon dahil sa lamig hehe.sir anong fuel po gamit nyo?thanks

Good Evening sa mga owners ng Corolla/Altis, i just want to say na maganda ang Altis, I've drive one kanina, yung sa friend ko, i thinko yung 1.6E yun, may power locks at windows, pero wala lang alarm. Being a corolla owner before(Lovelife version) masasabi ko iba na yung bago ngayon, kahit 1.6 engine napagka bilis.hehe.
Plano ko kumuha ng isa baka next year or pagkatapos ko mabayaran yun Starex.
Anu pa ba pwede niyo i pang encourage para kumuha ako ng Altis?hehe

Kasi gusto mo.

Seriously, kung ayaw mo yung sasakyan kahit na sabihin ko lahat ng good sides nung kotse na yun aayawan mo pa rin kasi ayaw mo nga. :hysterical:

Pero kung gusto mo, at instinct mo talaga na bumili ng isa. Follow it & go get one. All the good sides I will tell will seem irrelevant na kasi iba pa rin yung sinasabi dito sa forums vs. sa first hand experience talaga.

Haha, sige sir pero ito kasi nasa first place sa pinagpipilian ko sa Sedan, nakakapagod mg drive ng Van na malapad.
Pero maghahanap din muna ako ng alternatives. Hehe

[renzo_d10]

Elantra is okay, price-wise it's really a bang for the buck vehicle.

Kaya lang mamimili ka talaga ng dealer para yung after sales service & support eh maganda.

[crazy_boy]

went to Toyota Global City last friday to check the pretty and ***y sales agents, este Corolla pala. was planning to check the 1.6V but the sales agent wasnt really helpful since she's not familiar with the car. she didnt know the difference from each model. kailangan mag base sa catalog.

but maganda nga yung corolla.

Ok lang yan. Basta maganda yung... kotse?

When i was a kid, my dad and his friends would always buy their Lancers from a certain Mitsu dealer (Union Motors i think) all because of the sales ladies. :D

On a side note, Toyota uses 20W-40 oil as standard. I hope to see my FC improve even just a bit once i shift to non-CASA oils later on (maybe 10W-40). Once i get hold of a good aftermarket oil filter like the Baldwins and match it with fully synth oil, i'll try to extend the drain interval to 10K.

Update on the FC:
- 13.20km/L
- mix highway and city driving; first time to use Shell regular unleaded and it seems to respond better in terms of FC as against the Petron Xtra. I tried Shell Premium on my tank up last night and will observe and differences.
- car now has 1,500km on the odo.

I also observed that if i can do 150kms per quarter tank reading on the fuel gauge, my FC will be at around 13km/L.

Grr Vinj, basing on your posts medyo nacoconvince ako to get a 10th gen over an [H] :hysterical:

Mahal kasi masyado yung G MT, eh.

The H... (Hyundai? :grin ) will still handle better but overall, especially if price is a factor, i'd get the 2.0V Altis over the current Civic talaga. I feel shortchanged with what my sister got after i test drove her 2012 Civic.

Matagal yung 1.6V rims na inaabang ko... but i chanced upon a good deal on something else so i may just go for it for the meantime.

[renzo_d10]

No, not a 2012 Civic. Just a GM City, which I really liked since the first time I drove it last year. I'm contemplating on whether I should give up another 100k for an Altis G or get the car that I want instead.

I`ll see. But your posts are really convincing, especially the 13km/L FC.

Space is not a big factor since I`ll be driving it myself most of the time. I just want a trunk, that's all...

[jut703]

Ang tipid talaga ng 1ZR-FE. I wonder why the 3ZR-FE is nowhere as efficient.

Akala ko dati, matitipid lang talaga lahat ng bagong engine ngayon, until I found out that a lot of minicar owners had just around 10 km/L with AT versions of their cars in the city. The Altis 1.6V can almost match that, and still be way more comfortable.

The 2.0 version, though, different story talaga. Are there any pre-facelift 2.0V owners here? Mind sharing your FC?
Nakakainggit yung mga facelift 2.0V na naka-CVT eh, normal yung 8 km/L sa city, kaya pa 9. May nabasa na rin ako na kaya 10, but I dunno if that's really city driving with moderate traffic or city nga, pero nasa 60-80 naman yung takbo.

I always felt that the biggest mechanical letdown of our Altis was the old 4-AT, I just didn't imagine that not only does replacing it with a CVT result in better acceleration and responsiveness, but also significantly better fuel economy.

Take note though that the 13km/L i got is mixed city and highway; and in this case, the city driving traffic i encountered when i used the car last week was not the usual salbahe bad traffic. 10km/L would probably still be the norm if i was driving in pure city traffic.

The City is a good car if you're getting the 1.3 m/t. Easy to drive, nimble and my only gripe was the clunky suspension (when it hits bad potholes) and the power door locks having no switch.

More efficient gearing is a big factor, especially in traffic where close ratios help overcome the weight easily in the low gears IMO. I was quite disappointed when Toyota first released the 10th gen using the old engine and transmission. If it were not for the new engine and 6-speed in the 10.5 gen, i probably would have gotten something else.

Yup, 1.3S MT naman talaga. I never liked ATs. And you're right about the suspension, when I drove the 1.5E last year and hit a hump.. the whole body frame literally slammed on the peak of the hump which was relatively low.

[cjv_justice]

sana nga ginawa nalang nila 5 speed AT yung G & V e...

[jut703]

I wouldn't say that the gearing of the 4AT was awful. It's just that with only 4 gears to play with, you don't have much flexibility. Put the ratios too close like a city car, and your highway performance and economy will suffer.

Definitely, the facelift made the Altis so much better, across all of its variants. A part of me has always regretted getting a 2.0V over a 2.0S-L FD, but if it was the 2.0V with the fuel-efficient CVT and more useful features (1.1M and no AUX on the old 2.0V!), I wouldn't feel so bad.

On your 10 km/L city run, is that a 1.5E? I have a friend who's got a 1.3S AT that also gets just 10 km/L on her city runs.

Sorry as it wasnt too clear. the 10km/L city run is what i get with the Altis 1.6E m/t right now. My 1.6 J m/t also get similar figures 9-10km/L in the city. If the 1.6 6-speed can improve to 11-12km/L in city driving over time, i'd be fine.

I swapped tires last weekend though so FC may change a bit (overall diameter is slightly larger).



Lousy pic as i did not want to bring the car out of the garage anymore. But the 215/50R17s fit the rims and wheel wells better than the usual 215/45R17s a lot of guys use.

Sir Vinj, kumusta naman ang ride comfort with your new set. Di ba matagtag?

[jut703]

A litte bit OT, but sir renzo, kamusta yung performance ng 1.3S MT? I've only driven the AT version, and I can say that it doesn't feel like it's got 100 hp at lower revs. In fact, I feel that it behaves similarly to a 1.3L Vios below 4,500 rpm, despite the 15 hp difference.

[renzo_d10]

Wala pa sakin, jut. 1.5L AT pa rin naddrive ko, when I drive it hard mabilis naman yung response niya. Sipa agad to 4000rpm then yung speedometer patuloy umaakyat. Can't really compare sa Vios since I haven't drove one, yet.
