Toyota Corolla 11th Generation Altis [Merged Threads]

[dp20]

good job bro! if you dont mind, tanong ko lang sana kung ano yung good deal na nabigay sau para ma compare ko din if ok na din ang nakuha ko.

salamat sa advise, ang totoo mabagal ako magpatakbo ng sasakyan. hehe, kaya di ko rin cia cgro mapapaabot ng mga matataas na speed. di ko pa cia napapalampas ng 100kph, lagi akong naka defense mode. pero masarap talaga mag patakbo ng mabilis, lalo na sa expressway sarap sa pakiramdam, try ko minsan more than 100kph. ano na yung pinakamataas mong speed dyan sa new altis mo?

napansin ko sa altis natin, pag kailangan mo ng power ibibigay nia lalo na sa mga overtaking. ito cgro ang tinatawag na power ng dual vvti combined with cvt. sinu kaya ang makapag eexplain ng phenomenon na ito?

Bro, Toyota Pasig gave me a big cash discount, provided I get their in-house financing. The interest rate is higher compared to direct bank auto loan of course.

I went 140kph palang bro, the out of town trips kase I was with my wife and daughter, alalay parin syempre safety first for my family. The power is definitely there. As far as I know, CVT's primary purpose I believe is better fuel economy without having to sacrifice power output. As for a better or deeper explanation on how it works, I leave it to our expert tsikoteers here

Sir timo07, no problems whatsoever so far from CVT. I went for the 1.6V sir, mainly for the same reason you wanna get an AT. We'll be moving to Novaliches in a week or so and traversing the traffic from there to Makati (where I work) on a manual tranny would be a little too taxing But yeah, no issues whatsoever. Very smooth (medyo may shift shock lang pag cold start at nagmamadali, but nawawala din after a few blocks of driving).

Salamat dp20. Speaking of traffic jams, I'm in one now as I make my way to the office. Bukod sa inis, may fatigue factor. With the CVT, malamang inis factor na lang. He he.. Good morning.

saan kaya makakabili ng OEM lexus 18 or 17's mags for the altis? hirap kasi humanap ng pcd 100 halos lahat 114. any recommendations for tire shop, where i can find one? thanks

Sir i'm CARLOver, was back reading and saw sir jut's post. Meron daw either DUB shop or sa evangelista sir. Ganda nga ng Lexus mags sir, bagay sa 11th gen natin

Bros wala na sa Evangelista and sa Dubshop. Sa Evangelista puro 5x114 din. Si Dubshop, September pa daw earliest na makakapagrestock sila.

I found mine in Banawe, but last set na yun out of all the shops there. You can ask in the Altis Club FB page. May nag-alok sakin dun before, but nakabili na ko sa Banawe nung nag-PM siya.

is this the new CRZ? 3.5 km/l? friday ka ata sir nag edsa at sahod pa? hehe

That's a Jazz. Normally it'll do 8-9 km/L in heavy traffic, but some rush hours are heavier than others, especially after a bit of rain.

The CVT of the Altis is actually very responsive. We had the old 10th gen 2.0 Altis with a 4AT. Compared to the old 4AT, the 1.6 CVT feels more responsive. Unlike a traditional AT which only has a fixed number of gears (4 in the case of the old Altis), the CVT has an infinite number of gear ratios - so when you need the power, it will select a ratio that will give you the maximum torque that you need to overtake/accelerate. Kaya mapapansin mo, kahit anong takbo mo, pag binaon mo yung throttle, sisipa to 4000-5000 rpm agad yung kotse since that's where peak torque is.

Of course, iba pa rin ang power delivery ng manual. Yes, the CVT has more optimal ratios, but it still suffers from more drivetrain losses compared to an old-school manual. I'm happy with my MT Altis' acceleration - very progressive from 2k-5k rpm, then from 5k-6.5k there's an extra bit of push. Panget lang ng tunog pag high RPM, mas maganda pa pakinggan yung Vios.

ano po ba yung mga usual na technique nio sir para makatipid merun po ba or natural lang?

Naturally, malakas ako sa gas magdrive kasi mainitin ulo ko. But I make an active effort to do the ff:

- Stay patient and calm. Getting your mindset right is more important than any technique.

- Accelerate only as much as you need to. Keep your pedal input as light as possible, especially if you've reached your desired speed. I've found that pedal input is more important than the gear that you're in.

- Pick the right gear. Most people know that high rpms are wasteful if you don't need the power, but too low of an rpm will also make the engine struggle and consume more gas as you have to increase pedal input to maintain your speed. With a CVT, the car's smart enough to pick the right rpm for you, all you have to do is control your pedal input.

- Plan ahead. If you're approaching a stoplight, coast as early as you can as opposed to continuing to step on the gas then wasting all that energy by braking again as you arrive at the stop light. When driving on a highway, if you know you're approaching the car in front of you, then coast so you keep a safe driving distance, as opposed to having to brake. Actually, braking is very wasteful so try to brake as little as possible (without compromising safety of course).

When I'm driving calmly, I usually shift at around 1800-2000 rpm. When I'm in a hurry or in a bad mood, I shift close to redline and this really consumes a lot of gas.

[jut703]

salamat sa additional advise, di pa ako nakapag try ng redline kahit sa ibang sasakyan, hehe, matatakotin ba, na try nio na po ba ito before at sa new altis nio? 147kph palang ang pinakamabilis ko na takbo sa tplex using vios e 2014, lumilipad pag dumadaan ng tulay, kaya di ko na inulit pa at baka ako ay ma dedo. kaya iniisip ko yung 200kph grabe na sinu na kaya ang nakapag try nito?

So far, 180 palang since break-in period pa nung car back then. Now, since I'm done with my 1k PMS, will probably try to reach its top speed if the opportunity comes.

Did 200 with the old Altis (albeit 2.0), so I'm sure this one can too, if given enough road.

With our traffic situation getting worse, talagang maiinis ka nga sir. Bukod dun, mas madedevelop ang left calf and hamstring mo kakatapak sa clutch hindi papantay ang binti mo haha! Kaya nag CVT na talaga ako hehehe!

Sir ano kaya price range nyan with tires? Aabot kaya ng 80k? And magkano mo nakuha yung sayo and swap ba with your stock mags also? Thanks

Depends on the tires you want.

With run of the mill Westlakes or Nankangs, kaya na.

For Good Bridgestones or Yokohamas, tires alone will cost you closer to 40K.
