Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [ARCHIVED]

[isketi]

you mean? pwede pala i-change ng toyota ang color prior delivery to the customer? which toyota dealer is this?

Any Toyota dealer can do it. I had mine done by Quezon Ave. You have to negotiate the price though for the repaint.

How's the quality of the paint? Syempre iba pa rin yung sa factory. Was it done at Toyota QA mismo? Can they do it for any customer or for "special' customers only? How much? Dami ko tanong 'no?

Hi Guys,

Does anyone knows a shop that installs bluetooth car kits?

Also I want to inform you peeps that Cybertech has released a lot of Innova accessories. I added bonnet struts to the hood of my innova. Para yung strut assembly na ginagamit sa rear door.

I also changed the front grill of my ride. Talagang replaced and not stick ons. Will show u pics later.

May mga bug guards, sun roof assembly, etc. Dami talaga nakakalula.

Dont know if this is the right thread to post this. Just to let u know.

Sir Joem,

thats ok po considering gas engine po gamit niyo. May I ask sir, is this pure city driving only? how many kms po per day ang drive ninyo?

I'll be getting my vvti this april and I'm comparing data from others with the same engine as yours po.

TIA.....

Ako 8.7 km/l combined city and highway (After 1k PMS) from my previous 7.3 km/l (break in period).

[july23]

ang galing naman ng mileage ninyo, mine is also gas a/t pero average ay 5km/ltr at minsan pa nga less than 5km.ltr pa. :arghhh:

[brubeck]

that's really low! almost like a newly tuned up expedition if you're only getting 5 km to a liter. just had my 15k pms and the worst reading I got even during the holiday traffic was 8 km/l. on long drives like pagudpud i was even getting 12km to a liter but normal city/slex driving i get around 9km to a liter. this is all based on actual km reading and amount of gas/liters consumed. computer is a bit of by 10 to 15%. innova gas G a/t night mist.

[ninja_cool]

Joem, tnx for the reply 10 - 11ltrs not bad. tanong ko na din mga sir kung pag puno ang sakay ninyo di ba gaano hirap ang makina lalo na kung paahon ang takbuhan palno kasi naming pamilya mag tagaytay

Please post some pictures when the same is already installed in your unit (with and without the spare wheel) so that we will have an idea on how it really works. The way I see it, it can be done DIY (the assembly itself) but the mounting will require some assistance.

Jim, here are the pics I took this afternoon at the casa.

Wheel lock mounted:


And with the spare wheel secured:

Hello Everyone! First Post!

I am planning on going back to the Philippines to buy an Innova for my Mom who had a Stroke last year. Do you guys think that the height and space is perfect for someone that's handicapped? Nasa Florida ako kaya mahirap pag hindi ko pa nakikita yung Innova but my Dad was just there and he told me he liked it a lot. This thread shows me that you guys indeed love your Inova so I shouldn't even check other automobiles.
I'm not sure what the process is buying a car over there compared to the US but I imagine that it's the same. Do Philippine Dealers have different prices? In the states there is Invoice Price, is there such a thing in the Philippines too? Should I shop arround? I would appreciate it if someone could recommend a salesperson when I get to Manila. The closest Toyota Dealership to where my Mom is living right now is in Alabang. How are they? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Any hookups would be great! ;)

Thanks Everyone!

Thanks Lei for the pics, I am right pala...the same can be done via DIY. I'll just look for a similar solex lock and make some refinements sa design. It can be done at half the price.

Yup you can self-manufacture it, though you must find a tough alloy rod, and nuts with hole in it to secure it with hexagon nuts. Same as through with the two plate securing bolts. And the most important, a solex padlock.

Welcome to the Innova forum John! I'm sure you have read some of the postings here. The Innova has a good height design for easy access, the second row seats are also adjustable to your preference and can be folded as well as the third row seats. In my opinion it is a better option for a handicapped person (getting in). When I was scouting for a car the picture didn't appeal as much as when I saw it personally. The prices are the same, the difference are in the freebies each dealerships are offering each client. So It is still best to check 2 or 3 different dealerships to get the best deal. You'll be surprised with the different prices on insurance, registration fees, and freebies they will offer you. Diesel or gas, it is really your choice, but if you backtrack pages on this forums there were incidents on the diesel variant and be wary of it before you decide. I did bought the diesel variant, I do not know if it is luck but I haven't had or heard of any problem with it up to now (I'm outside PI right now). Recommendations? Well I'd choose 3 nearest dealership and check what they offer and go from there. It would be wise to also let each agent know you are scouting for the best and would be buying your unit from whom will give you satisfaction on their offers (This is how I got my free undercoating ) Remember: They would right away tell you they have the best price and freebies! I almost fell for that, good for me this forum helped me a lot. Goodluck!

hi. if i were you, go for the innova vvti variant. toyota's gas engines are already proven unlike their new diesel d4d engines. there are people here in this forum have experienced stalling problems with their diesel innovas. but toyota is willing to replace the defective supply pump once you experience the "choking/stalling" problem. re toyota dealers, i suggest you go to toyota bicutan. it's toyota owned unlike the one in alabang.
