Toyota Avanza Owners & Discussions [ARCHIVED]

[ownertype]

ganun na ba katagal ngayon? anong branch ka? yung sa amin ay inabot din yata ng 3 weeks although pangalawa kami sa pila (TYT Shaw) medyo natatagalan dahil champagne color yung sa amin. kaya i think depende rin yan sa kulay. pinipilit kasi sa amin yung silver color which was readily available at that time (pre-christmas). hanggang ngayon wala pa rin akong plaka dahil wala pa raw cert of stock report.

sa Toyota QA ako naka reserve, pangalawa ako sa pila sa Avanza J, Mica Red. Been making kulit na din sa SA pero wala pa daw talaga.

If you have not yet fully paid the initial cash outlay or the full amount if you are buying in cash, it might help if you pay already. As soon as the units arrive you will be the priority. It worked for me 1st week of December. The only difference then was, the units during that time are available at the plant.

Sa Marikina, Avanza J white (taxi unit) na lang ang display. Ubos na nga talaga.

[cpudle]

I've been tempted to do the same thing. Napansin ko na yan ang gawain ng mga taxi drivers sa Maynila. Galing sa full stop diretso na sa 2nd gear. Mga Toyota din hawak nilang unit. Siguro nga dahil sa short gearing e tinatamad na gumamit ng 1st gear, anyway 1-2 seconds lang naman shift na kaagad sa 2nd. Pero ako pinilit kong iwasan ang temptation.

Di ko sure pero malamang may masamang epekto yan sa transmission. Baka pati sa FC. Konting chaga lang at pasensya sa 1st gear ginagawa ko. Pero since sa adjustment na napost ko na ditong ginawa sa unit ko, mas swabe na yung masikip na low gears ko.

Sana may mas marunong na sumagot. hehe.

Am asking din kung puwede pero in the meantime I don't want to go 2nd gear agad. Feeling ko mag la-lug yung engine. I think I read somewhere that habitual engine lugging caused by under-revving can seriously damage the engine. If you overrev naman all the time, it could result in "excessive wear and tear on the engine." Parang mas safe overrev kesa underrev. I guess it takes practices and patience to use the optimal gear in any situation. Am used to driving a corolla kasi na tall gearing so konting gas lang arangkada kaagad. Kaya heto tendency ko sa avanza mag underrev.

[pablo_neruda]

Same case here. I used to drive a corolla as well. Afterwards, for a month ata, dala ko naman Revo ng tita ko. Sa Revo, I used to do that (straight to 2nd gear from full stop).

Pero, I guess, you guys are right. There must be a reason why there is a first gear in the first place. adjust na lang. masasanay din tayo.

[Psylocke]

Example is Corolla 1.3 and 1.6. The 1.3 has a shorter 1st gear than the 1.6 to enable it to climb albeit at high RPM.

[mazdamazda]

unless you are driving a vehicle with a tons of torque, starting a vehicle from 2nd gear is not recommended. you'll be shortening the life of your clutch dramatically and can lead also to premature engine damage.

[niky]

Depende naman sa gearbox. If it's like the L300, with a useless first gear... no problem... :lol:

But most small cars here in the Philippines can't take off in second gear without lugging.

Paying in full can help as long as the units are available in the plant. Meron ding palakasan. When the Fortuner waiting period was 6-8 months, my friend who knows the VP of Toyota got his unit in 2 weeks. But he also paid it in cash.

Update on FC : Avanza 1.5G M/T

Trip Meter : 101.4 km
Fuel Consumed : 11.04 L Caltex Silver
FC : 9.18 L/km

This is on normal city driving. Pina full-tank ko on same station and same pump. Parang ganun na lang talaga yata pinaka baba kung f/c. Baka nga me kelangan pang i-adjust to have more lower FC. Ipapa-adjust ko na lang on my 1000km PMS. As of now nasa 750km pa lang eh.

[ownertype]

Thanks sa mga reply. Sana naman wag mala fortuner na 6-8 months ang waiting period ng Avanza.

btw, sa mga 1.3J owners here. Meron ba 3rd break lamp ang J variant?

*jaspi11, bro ano accessories yung hiningi mo sa SA mo for your Avanza J? Share naman

3rd brake lamp - wala sa J. Avanza G lang ang meron.

[gensi311]

update lang FC: A/T 1.5G Champagne

I'm using shell V-power
its 11.12 km/l

eto na notice ko. if i'm using a lower octane (93) medyo malakas sa gas pero pag higher octane ganda ng takbo. I'm using either Caltex Gold or Shell V Power.

Wala pong 3rd brakelight kasi po wala ding spoiler ang J variant. As stated G lang po ang meron.
Ano ngang accessories pinakabit nyo jaspi11? Ako kasi central locks sa pinto lang daw pwede ikabit at wala pa nung Dec ang accessories ng Avanza. Kakaorder ko lang ng door visors pero sa labas ako nag-order. Next week pa daw ang dating galing Maynila (sa Panay kasi ako, hehe). Ang mahal kasi sa casa!!

Leaded gasoline po mga ito ano? Ako kasi unleaded ang kinakarga. Yun kasi ang unang kinarga nila mula sa Casa nung unang nilabas ko yung unit ko. Ginaya ko na lang.
Ano ba ang difference ng pag-gamit ng unleaded at leaded gasoline? Bukod sa mas "environment friendly" ang unleaded, ano pa kaya ang difference? Sorry pero naghahanap lang po ako ng confirmation sa mga hula kong sagot... Thanks!

[OTEP]

Nope. Gasoline by any other name [Blaze, Velocity, Gold, Silver, etc.) is still Unleaded. That's the law. It is illegal to sell leaded gasoline in the local market.

Oil companies can only further refine, add more additives, increase octane rating, etc. But it will still not have any lead on it.

[Picard]

I second. Matagal na pong banned ang leaded gasoline sa Pilipinas.

Thank you po master OTEP for the clarification! Nalilito/misinformed lang po ako sa labelling na simpleng "Unleaded" gasoline sa mga gasolinahan at yung mga ibang label like the ones you mentioned.
Nalinawan na ako na yung me mga iba't-ibang label e processed to change the character in order to market as different products but ALL are unleaded. The processed fuel cost more, but I guess has more advantages as stated by gensi as to have better mileage,better engine burn, etc...
Will also try the higher octane fuel then...

hmmm. yan din ang iniisip ko eh. try ko yung caltex gold sa next ko na full tank. kaya lang sagarin ko muna to almost empty bago ko magkarga.

we just came from alabang using the nlex and c5. ngayon ko lang lalo napansin yung pagka-bouncy nya since walang traffic at tuloy-tuloy ang takbo with the constant speed of 80kph (3000rpm). Dadalawa rin lang kaming sakay. Di ko na hinrurot pa dahil bouncy. It would be much better siguro kung puno. pagka alon-alon ng daan might also be another factor.

[joseph_abri]

any feedback regarding the use of shell e10 gasoline in avanza?
