Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [ARCHIVED]

[supercar10]

that's it... mine is BC20.

oh! so i'm guessing you have bc35 on your windshield aye? or bc40.. n.n

how's visibility especially at night? clear ba?

[gil_co]

IMO, 215/55 para di masyadong mabigat sa steering... malapad na kasi masyado para sa akin ang 225... Dunlop Lemans 702 po ang nakamount sa akin.

Agree with Mam Liv, I use 225/55/R17s, medyo naging heavy steering lalo pag parking in tight space ... 55/17 suits our innova me lalo na pag fully loaded ang innova, also better against pot holes... some opt for 45/R18s. 225 is a little wide but really nice in highways, and cornering...

As far as tires are concerned, I use Nankang... cheaper but I bet dunlops are better but considering I drive a diesel A/T... over specs na nga yung Nankang...

It was not removed, it was not a feature that Toyota incorporate on the key less entry/alarm. Same with Forturner and Hilux G and V variants.

Even the older models 2005 up does not have sound for key less entry, what it has was just a horn for force entry alarm. Flashing turn signal lights are the only visible signs for arming an disarming your doors.

If you want to enable audible sounds, you need to replace the horn as it will sound very badly every time you activate and deactivate your key less.

Thanks for the reply sir, masagwa ba talaga pag horn? ilang beses ba tutunog un? kung once lang, parang ok lang sa akin :P kasi medyo obsessive compulsive ako, minsan bumabalik pa ako sa oto para i check talaga kung nakasara. pero kung may tunog, im sure naka sara na yun

So pwede po ung may horn sound? sabi kasi totally wala daw tunog ang keyless entry ng mga toyota ngayon.

Masagwa talaga ang tunog, kasi busina 3x kasabay ng flashing lights. May ka officemate kami dito ganyan ang pinagawa later on pinatanggal nya din kasi maingay.

Kung gusto mo malaman kung gaano kapangit ang tunog, simulate it by having one door ajar and push the lock button of your keyless entry key.

Kung gusto mo talaga may audible sound, pagawa mo sa mga installer ng alarm sa Banawe at palagyan mo ng ibang horn.

how's visibility especially at night? clear ba?

not sure though on the windshield... as far as i can recall, its called Magic Neutral.

it's very clear... it's like having no tint at all.

[marlocaps]

mam liv,

i think we have the same tint..hehe

[timo07]

Use kerosene to soften it and wash it out with soap. Sa mga car wash like in Mindanao Ave. they offer washing with kerosene to remove road tar on your door sides.



Don't rub it or try to fix it on your own. Bring it to denter for Painless Dent Repair, I had around 8 small dents and 1 long dent and the denter removed it in less than 30 minutes, as in they were all totally restored.



Right below the black rubber lid there's a marker which state "MAXIMUM" and "MINIMUM"



Once it reached 5K or 3 months which ever comes first.

Mile2, can you please recommend a Paintless Dent Removal center? Thanks.

[bigfoot]

Is there a new Innova model coming out this Sept? Any price yet?

[Errol5]

yup, no 'chirping' sound here. no intention of activating it, i like it that way

Even the 2009 Altis G, no chirping sa keyless when locking/unlocking the car. unless mag alarm na sya.

Oh no! Not now!

[onatzb]

i'd take a bare bones innova over a top of the line avanza
with the base innova, you have room for upgrades once funds are available.

toyota really got it right with the innova. a great powerplant, be it gas or diesel. matipid talaga sya. robust suspension but still a very comfotable ride and to top it all, seats 7 comfortably. all for less than a million bucks and even less if you opt for the base model

wow, thanks man for your input. i have a feeling that we'll go for innova. Is there any cons and pros if i choose color black variant, gas and A/T?

thanks.

[Ienrant]

Ask ko lang kung ano yung mga variant ng innova na all powered features na? TIA

Ano pong magandang kulay ng rim na babagay sa J- silver? Ok po ba yung all black rim? or mas maganda kung chrome or gun metal color?

Planning to upgrade my tires to 225/55/17. Ok lang kahit medyo heavy steering. I'm planning to go to DKC this weekend. DKC P. Tuazon as recommended by Mam Liv.

[onatzb]

depends sa size n family mo bro, kung malaki kayo, naku, mahirap sa avanza.

sa avanza kasi pag mga 6 footer ka, sikip na avanza,

sa innova, comportable un, maliban sa third row seat siguro na mukhang maliit talaga legroom..

nakamaneho na din ako avanza, medyo masikip din, ahihi

depends on your budget too, if you can budget for an innova, go for an innova!

yeah, this is noted bro. salamat sa input. \m/

I heard this from a friend in TOyota, but unfortunately cannot give me more details.

A relative is buying a new Innova also (after selling their problematic '05 D4D G)and was told there are some minor upgrades this coming September so they're holding out the purchase for the next few weeks.

[kupaloids]

Just a quick question, comparable ba ang ride ng Innova sa 9 seater Starex na naka coil springs din sa likod?

Nakapag drive kasi ako ng Starex dati and the ride was surprisingly good.

Will it be another facelift or new body design? If ever they will release this, will it be instantly available to the market?

Sheesh! I'm going home this coming October and I really want to make sure na maka kuha ako ng unit during my vacation. Baka kailangan ng 1 month waiting time. Yiii...!!! That means di aabot sa bakasyon ko.

Hi Bokers,

I'm leaning towards gun metal, but better if i compare mo lahat ng choices mo sa innova mo.

My ride is an E variant Red (Blaze) and since black ang door handles and side mirror nag black rims na rin ako Concept One 17s.

But that was not my original choice, nag serach pa ako sa web ng mga rims , and came down with a list... but settled for the black rims nung makita ko nang actual... that is also my advise, minsan iba yung na envison natin sa actual eh.

hope it helped.
