If i upgrade to 11th gen (11.5gen particularly) eh maninibago kaya ako sa hatak?

May issue na ang rack and pinion ko pala lumalagutok sa lubak. Fixed na ba ito sa 11th?

Other issues po sa 11th gen before i upgrade?

don't the two cars have the same engine? only the CVT is new?
i haven't heard of rack and pinion issues in the altis. are you sure, it's the rack and pinion? not the CV joint? the other wear-and-tear suspension parts?

10th gen is vvti but 11th gen is dual vvti already. May issue po rack and pinion ng 10th gen and its common.

i sit, corrected.
btw, my qaqilalas who have the 10th gen, have no complaints.
lucky them, i guess.

i drive the 2003 (9th gen?), and except for the cramped interior, i have no issues. i am interested in this thread, because i am thinking of getting a new altis.

Same tayo ng ride, doc. Ayos sa okay pa naman but on the hunt na rin sana ng Toyota Altis 2.0V 2011-2013 pero very scarce sa 2nd hand market. Y2011 is when this Altis variant first got a CVT yata. Been driving my brother's 11th Gen 1.6V with the CVT and I think I'm not missing the head snapping acceleration naman. My main concern is the supposed additional fuel mileage that the technology affords over the conventional AT. I had my apprehensions earlier but unanimous naman sa nabasa ko that Toyota CVT is one of the most reliable. But as I've said medyo scarce talaga at kung meron man eh above my budget na. Kaya tuloy kung saan saan na napunta ang choices ko.

My Altis rack and pinion needs replacement. After 170K kms, sulit na ba?

it would be nice if it reached 250K km, instead of that paltry 170K km...
but hey! we have to spread the wealth around...

... would you settle for overhaul in lieu of replace?

less back-job issues.

how has it manifested its desire to be replaced?
may tagas na ba?

steering became very light, may play, may tok sound when you turn left-right at stop, langitngit all over, tunog lumang taxi na sa lubak. Nagpalit na ko shocks last year. pinacheck ko na tierod and rack end. Yun na daw talaga, sakit ng Altis!

"idle talk" for lack of anything else to say, if you ask me.
our 2003 altis still has its original rack and pinion...

what did escape diagnosis, was the rear bushing of the A-arm.
it was missed by the two non-banawe mechanics who replaced some underchassis components, one after the other, because of that strange lagutok...
it was spotted immediately by the banawe (forgive my effusive words of worship) mechanics. it was a very vast change after that.
