Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [ARCHIVED]

[Mile2]

Take it from me , I have an Innova E since last April 2005, I just had my 20K PMS no problems except my HU (MP3) which was replaced last month. For your information best seller ang Innova more than 1200 units a month since last year at 90 % D4Ds. Totalling at least 20000 units so far and still increasing. What do you think the competition will do? e di black propaganda, if you read the innova engine woes wala pa sa 10 ang nagka problema, pero the way they present it akala mo majority na. Actually, wala pa sa 0.01% ang affected D4Ds at mostly first batch lang mga yan. So please decide logically and use your analytical skills before you buy a car.

Sir,

What is the reason why there's no E Variant with Gas Version VVTI?

Any logical reason?

[number001]

Even if I'm to accept your claim of "0.01%" (data unverified) of D4-D in Innovas have the "problem", I still wouldnt take the risk, given the chance. For example, a person knows there is something wrong with the D4-D engines but they decide to go on buying it with the simplistic reasoning that only "0.01%" of D4-D have this problem and that what are the chances they would chance upon a problematic unit. Quite small, right (If one were to belive that unverified "0.01%" statistic)? Maybe or maybe not. Depending on the outcome, that episode would be like playing a game of roulette with a gun in your mouth, hoping that each click of the trigger would not let a bullet loose.

This D4-D problem has problems that even a mechanic in one of Toyota-owned dealers admits to trying to "cure" but to no avail. Toyota doesnt even know where to look at. First, they changed the entire system, then the injectors, and now they are reprogramming the ECU.

how about those have d4d problems but don't have internet access or not a member of tsikot???

[j_avonni]

dagdagan ko pa: since pro's and con's pala ang gusto mo, here goes...

ang pangit lang sa innova j variant e no power windows at no power mirrors. yung central locking at alarm, aftermarket ko na ipinakabit. kapag magbabayad ka ng toll fee sa slex, nakakainis na walang power window. or kapag papasok ka ng parking building, nakakapagod mag-crank ng windows. yung d4d engine (dahil diesel) e mas maingay sa gasoline engine. so, baka manibago ka. (eventually makakasanayan mo din.) some people say na parang sobrang bland daw ang door ng j-variant (walang rubber like the G-variant). also, compared to a regular sedan, mas matagtag ang innova (most suv's naman talaga mas matagtag e compared to a sedan).

pero what are you getting in return?...
[SIZE="6"]
walang takot sa baha.[/SIZE] comfortable sa traffic. maluwag sa loob. malamig ang aircon (dual aircon ang innova plus may 2nd row and 3rd row vents). comparably matipid na din sa konsumo sa fuel. great driving position.

yun lang. to this day, sobrang happy ako sa decision namin to get the innova. i drove the innova to lipa (batangas) and i arrived at the destination fresh. not tired at all. ang saya pa ng drive kasi madaming pwede sumabay sa iyo.

hth and again, good luck on your choice. balitaan mo kami.

Paano pag ganito na kataas ang baha?

Eto kaya may warranty pa sa casa?? this was taken last saturday night along Timog Avenue aroung 9pm....

Kanino kaya ito? kawawa naman owner niyan... BTW sabi pala ng kumuha nito yung Innova daw ay lumutang na sa lalim ng baha at inanod nang may dumaan na mabilis na trailer truck....

WBR,

[ehw953]

ehw953,

mas matipid ang innova (gas) dahil VVTi na ang engine nito, compared to the Revo (gas) na EFI pa ang engine.

officemate ko dati naka revo (gas). nung nabenta nya ito at nakabili ng innova (gas), laking tuwa nya dahil mas responsive ang engine (car-like acceleration), better suspension, at cyempre mas pogi ang innova kaysa sa revo. :D

sir, malaki ba difference sa fuel consumption? thanks!

[Innova_Boy]

Paano pag ganito na kataas ang baha?

SIempre pag ganyan na ang baha eh di wag mo na ituloy,

Yan Innova na yan, yung owner kumakain sa loob ng resto, in just a matter of 30 min, pagbalik niya lubog na, di sinabihan ng guardiya. so no choice ka. iba siempre pag lulusong ka pa lang sa baha.... in other words use common sense.

WBR,

[finchy18]

Post ko lang po fuel consumption ko sa trip namin kanina.

Innova J Gas
Odo = 327 kms (bago pa lang po unit ko . . . hehehe!)
Brim to brim method of computation.
Reset trip meter A at Caltex Malolos.
Max Speed = 80 km/hr * 2,200 rpm (ingat po kasi ako sa break-in).
Shifts at 2,000 rpm.
Moderate traffic situation.

Malolos to CCP Complex and
vice versa (konting paikot-ikot na kasali) = 119.5 kms

Gas consumed = 11.29 lts (Caltex - Silver)

Average Consumption = 10.58 kms/lt


Ano po palagay ninyo sa consumption? Acceptable na po ba?

TY!

[slamtaz]

Hello Brubeck I like your choice of word "OVERKILL" hehe... I'll try to scout the cars on your list too tnx so much for the pointers for sure it'll help me

[SIZE=3]* Airbus380: Sir Brubeck is correct about "OVERKILL" considering that you're newly married.... but only for now.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]But wait-a-sandali... you mentioned that you'll avail of your company's car loan program and if i'm not mistaken, you'll be saddled with monthly payments for at least five years, right? hmmmm... now my point here is, what if your family expands in a year or two? siguro ay hindi na overkill ang situation by then at baka nga by that time ay mas kelangan mo ang malaking sasakyan, di ba? [/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]I've been in the same boat before and I was not able to make the same forecast so I ended up waiting for my loan (i.e. for a EK civic) to be paid up after five years. And while waiting, my kids were already complaining at the back of the car due to very limited space..[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]just my :twocents:[/SIZE]

Perfect na iyan bro. Mag-iimprove pa iyan pag tapos na ang break-in period.

[tabong]

Thank you po busy_road!

Sana nga mag-improve pa po para sulit ang bili namin.

More power to all tsikoteers!!!

[otorijima]

Innova G Gas Automatic Transmission ODO: 230km

Fuel Consumption

Based sa MID( Multi-Information Display)

Average Fuel Consumption sa Highway eh 14.5km/li Speed:80-90kph max
Average Fuel Consumption sa City eh 7.5-9km/li 2,000 rpm max

ok na ok na sakin Innova, sarap sakyan at maluwag.

Mas matipid talaga pag dahan-dahan lang ang tapak sa gas.

Di pa ko nag papa gas ulit, compute ko din manually ang fuel consumption

Mga Tsong, San ba mura ang accessories ng Innova? Pahingi naman ng contact number.

[karlmiguel]

hello to all,
i've been reading the thread for quite a while now and they are very informative.
just got my new INNOVA E this week and so far wala pa me masabi sa performance nya.
currently computing the fuel efficiency and will post it later kung kapareho nga ng mga nababasa ko.
meron din kayang mga member na techies dyan that could possibly give some advice on how to maximize fuel efficiency especially on the common rail diesel engine.

[ninja_cool]

mga sir tanong ko lang ok lang pag di ka ba nag pa 1k pms mawawala na din ba ang warranty? kasi 6k na yung sa akin balak ko sa 10k ko na lang dalhin ng casa kasi medyo bc ako di ko madala ng basta basta. at kung magpalit ba ako ng bulb mawawala na din ba yung warranty ng electrical wiring niya?

[busy road]

share ko lang po. here's my unit. with two optional audio setup..

Ayos ang setup mo, bro. Though, you sacrificed much of your space.
I am planning to design a space saving speaker enclosure with multiple 5" sub-woofer speakers. Anyone here knows a place who can mold an irregular shape using fiberglass? The area of consideration is the sidings of the compartment area or the back door itself. As you can imagine, the back door has enough internal space to be used as enclosure. This is just a preliminary assessment, but I will try it once back home.

Bro, importante yung first 1T km change oil. Hindi katwiran sa Toyota ang BZ ka bro. Besides the first 1T, an interval of 5T ang change oil. Buti kung synthetic ang gamit mo. GO!GO!GO! Baka may mangyari sa makina mo.
Yung bulb walang problema as long as the wattage remains the same. Huwag mo lang i-modify ang mga circuits.

Bro, big time ka. Ikaw palang yata ang may Innova-V dito. Share mo naman ang experience mo. Ano ba ang maganda sa V na wala sa G?

[tabong]

Sir / Ma'am,

Familiar po ba kayo sa fender liner para sa ride natin? Baka may alam po kayo na shop na nagbebenta ng fender liner maliban sa casa. 5400 for a set of 4 ang price sa casa. Yung wheel well cover dun sa front right fender ay 3K+ po ang price.
