Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [ARCHIVED]

[lexus]

hello innova peeps.

i'm back na in my working area (probinsya). Went to manila last friday to check the Toyota Motor Show and since i was really planning to buy an innova the past 2 weeks i took the chance na rin to avail of the promo they were offering ( i think until the 19 for the G & E). Got my unit last saturday afternoon (at the WTC) and have it dressed up the past 2 days (sunday & monday). spoiler and the custom fit ala 3M matting (1/2 inch thick) ang hindi pa na install.

i have some few questions here hope you guys can share to me some infos.

1. i dont want to use seat covers (been a practice of mine eversince) and planning to apply Scotchguard Fabric Protector. problem is when i read the label (scotchguard) hindi sya pwede sa carpet and manufacturer suggests to use the Blue Scotchguard (visited 3 malls - hindi available) for carpets. and my concern is, the floor, ceiling and back of the seats are made of polyester carpet. any comment and suggestion

2. regarding the toyota alarm installed - i can't seem to activate the motion sensor. its in the manual that anti theft function is coupled with a motion sensor which we can temporarily deactivate.


here is my freshly bake innova (dsl)



so far
247 kilometers ODO reading purely city driving - 9.3 km/l

has anybody here installed a roof rack? can you post your observations please as to handling on curves with a loaded rack. since mataas na ang center of gravity niya, nakakatakot bang idrive? I am planning on getting one installed dahil madami akong dala pag biyahe at alam kong hindi magkakasya sa likod. kung bakit kasi hindi nilakihan ng toyota ang luggage space nila eh.

i'm scheduled to sign all papers and make a downpayment tomorrow (thursday) for a silver diesel g a/t...

has anyone tried upsizing their mags to 16"? sa brochures ang size ng tire na indicated is 205/60r15 but kanina nung nag ikot ako sa banawa trying to canvass for accessories may tinabihan ako na innova g at ang nakakabit na wheels ay 205/65r15... if i upsize to 16" and use 215/60r16 rubber.. this is going to be about 2.61" (diameter) bigger than the original, i'm not sure kung kakasya ito sa spare tire location... anyone tried this??

ang plano ko lang idagdag from the bare innova g are:
- undercoating
- mud guard
- rain gutter
- possible mags upgrade
- possible headlight upgrade to either h4 lights or full HID

i'm also planning not to get the casa supplied tint and floormat (freebies) so i can swap it for one of the other accessories listed above...

bro, ganyan din mileage ko nuong nasa 1k pa lang odo. pero ngayon nasa 4.9km/ltr (143.1km/29 liters) as of last nite ng magpa-gas ako. nasa 4,300kms pa lang natatakbo ng unit namin.

Grabe naman mag mumog yang ride mo bro. Hindi kaya may problema yan sa electronic throttle system nya?

mumog talaga! pa-ckeck ko nga sa 5k check up namin.

[Juan Tamad]

Di kaya mali lang ang method sa pagcompute ng mileage?

I went to Sual, Pangasinan last Friday and back the same day (that's about 459 kms). Ang takbo ko most of the time was 80 kph, sometimes mag 90 kph - 100 kph. My consumption (gasoline - MT) was 11.3 km/li. The last time I traversed the same route and hataw ang takbo up to 130 kph, my consumption was 10.6 km/li only.

Malakas kay konsumo sa gas pag nagpalit ako ng 17" na magz?

[denier13]

Mga bossing, tanong ko lang kung ano fuel consumption ng gas vvti a/t na innova? and what about the ride, someone says that it's bouncy, is this true? My sister kasi wants to buy an innova this month. TIA!

[lvl307]

Tanong lang po for owners of Innova J - VVTI. May insulation ba yung ilalim ng hood nyo? I saw kasi that yung D4D version, meron. Yung sa min na J-VVTI ay walang insulation.

Thanks!

talagang walang insulation yung mga vvti-engine units, kahit J or G variant. Yung D4-D engine units (from J to G variants) lang ang meroong hood insulation. Same thing with the Fortuners.

natanong ko na ito sa isang Toyota branch, sagot ay mas mainit ang diesel engine kaya may installed insulation para di uminit ang hood.

D4D yung amin, so i can't comment regarding the gas consumption. as for the ride, its great! better than the 2002-2003 CRV (i have a CRV kaya i can say this for sure). actually, ang talagang kinagigiliwan ko sa innova ay ang driving position. for me its perfect. right arm on the armrest (which i really think is just right), left arm on the dooor. right foot angle is just right. plus the sense of roominess is wonderful; great for long drives.

tell your sister to go for it. hindi siya magsisisi.

(btw, kung sanay siya sa sedan, baka manibago siya kasi iba pa din talaga ang ride ng sedan compared sa mga AUV/SUV's. so don't compare apples to oranges. unless of course you're talking about a range rover. yun masarap talaga ang ride nun.)

Nagpa 25000 km pms ako lasy monday, sabi ko sa SA, regular pms then paki check ung preno medyo mahina at ung importante " mabagal siya, paki testing bago nyo hipuin." Iniwan ko ang unit ko to give them enough time to fix my concerns. 3pm my SA called, ok na daw pwede na kunin. Inutusan ko ang driver ko sabi ko testingin mo muna bago mo iuwi. Pag uwi nya I ask him kung tinest ung unit, hindi daw kasi late na.
So kinabukasan ginamit ko papuntang Baclaran, parang walang improvement ah! Para talagang matest ng husto, dinala ko ang unit ko sa SM Mall of Asia May mahabang stretch dun sa seaside. From a starting point I let my wife time my run. namputsta!,37 seconds 90km/h! Ni hindi ako umabot ng 100km, Bad trip! Tinawagan ko agad ang SA ko, sabi nya dalin ko daw ung unit. Haaaay, nakakapagod na lagi na lang ganito. Dinala ko last friday ang unit ko sabi ko, I dont care kung medyo matagalan basta ang gusto ko matapos na ang problema ko. Napapagod na ako kapapabalik balik ko sa inyo! Hanggang ngayon nadun pa unit ko.

nearly 23k na ang odo reading with an ave. of 9.2km/li gas G variant A/T. maraming nagsasabi na mas matagtag ang fortuner kaysa innova.

Smooth and Gumusut_Amige, thanks for the informative replies!
