Thank you for sharing. I am planning on getting an Altis this month, atleast with this post, I now have an idea how much discount should I be negotiating. :D

You're welcome. Congrats in advance!

Hi all, Newbie here. I just got my altis (M/T) last month. So far I'm happy with it pero medyo challenging timplahin ung clutch/gas; parang ang lalim ng clutch. It's NOT my first time to drive manual although ung dina-drive ko before diesel na mas malaking car.

Is this a normal thing since nag-aadjust pa ako to the new car? Any similar experiences? Any tips na ginawa nyo to make it less challenging?

Thank you!

yespo, it is normal.
not all cars are created equal.
we have no choice but to adjust to the car we choose to drive.

but... ask the casa to see if they can adjust it, sir. baka sakaling puede...

I also had a manual diesel before my manual Altis. Diesels are more forgiving because even if you let go of the clutch haphazardly, it usually won't stall because diesels have more torque at low revs and the car will move forward.

What you're experiencing is perfectly normal. What you should do is focus on memorizing your clutch's friction point, or that point wherein you're at the brink of stalling/moving. You'll feel it kasi manginginig yung kotse if you release the clutch any further. If you memorize that, masasakto mo na lagi yung timpla ng gas and clutch so you don't overrev or stall when moving from a standstill.

How to do it? Practice, practice, practice. Just keep driving and you'll get the hang of it eventually.

I think the highest possible discount for the Altis is 40k. I got mine last month from Toyota Otis. Straight Cash payment - 40k discount - Free Lto - Standard freebies - Insurance not included though. Actually the sales person gave me two options, it's either 40k discount or 53k discount but I would need to pay for the Lto (13.2k). I hope this helps.

I got my G AT last April 2016 with P50,000 discount, free LTO, usual freebies (Bank PO).

Yup, I guess I just have to keep practicing.

Thanks for the info. I finally got a deal from toyota commonwealth. I will take the cash payment with 50k discount with the usual freebies. I already gave 5k deposit,wala kasi yung preferred color ko kaya inorder pa sa yard. I got free lto. I will just buy insurance sa labas. Salamat sa mga inputs ninyo!
