I've already used the 1k km service voucher. Although I didn't pay for anything since I used that voucher, they still gave me a receipt with 1782.89 amount.

I will do the same thing on my SG's 5k km PMS.

Thank you. Will ask if they offer the same voucher here.

*richardesc: Were you able to get a voucher from your agent?

When I was in SCTEX and I was alone, around 3pm, I tried to exercise the engine a bit, it was able to reach 145 kph+/- with ease on the speedometer, around 136 kph+/- on the navigation system. Engine was quiet and didn't sound like it was gonna explode. Pretty nice and stable. I wasn't expecting that in a van that only has 102 hp engine rating. Then I went back to 100 kph and bursts up to around 120 kph and didn't try it again.

*atog: Hehe. Hindi mo kasi nilinaw sa wife mo kung ano dapat ang picturan niya.

When we go to Batangas, on our way home, idadaan ko SG ko sa Ligaya Drive en route to Tagaytay. I have been there a couple of times and grabe ang steep ng road na yan. I will make sure that the SG is fully loaded para ma test ko ang climbing capability niya sa ganon ka steep na road.

Regarding sa FC, honestly, I have never checked.hehe If I am not mistaken, I had 3 or 4 full tanks already and nasa 2k and the most that I had was 2.2k pesos. I always fill up in Unioil pero pag tinatamad akong sadyain, sa Seaoil ako. Out of town trips, I had 600+ kms in a full tank, sa city, nasa 500+ kms ata. Hindi ko kasi pinapansin masyado. Once it reaches around 1/4 tank, nagpapakarga na ako.

I don't know if the FC reading on the dash is not included in the feature, pero hindi ko mahanap. I tried reading the manual, nakalagay "if equipped" ung sa FC reading. Pero sa settings may nakalagay sa UNITS na KM/L or L/100 KMS sa choices. Hindi lang ako makapaniwala na sa TOTL variant ng SG wala yang ganyang feature, kung wala nga. Very basic feature na dapat yan. Kahit nga ung sa seatbelt warning light wala din. Hindi pa naman ako mahilig mag compute sa FC na yan.hehe

Ikaw, sir, ano ang FC mo? Is your M/T or A/T?

Gamit na gamit pala ang Grandia niyo, sir. Ilan na ang mileage niyan considering you are using it for rent? Whenever I see a GL Grandia, naliliitan ako sa sa stock tires niya. Hindi ba yan hirap ang gulong at full load? Ang payat kasi tignan.

Ang ganda naman ng pang rent na van mo, sir.hehe Magkano naman ang singil mo diyan let's say NAIA to Baguio? Usually kasi ang nakikita ko mga Revo, Urvan and Commuter ang ginagawang ganyan which is malayong mas maganda and spacious ang Grandia GL sa kanila.

Pero sa Discovery Shores sa Boracay, that is where we always stay, Super Grandia fabric ang service vehicle nila.

Sa Bicol naman, ung friend namin doon, they have a contact and Commuter ang gamit nung van owner/driver. 12k ang singil pag whole day tour sa Naga, Albay area. I find it super expensive pero sila naman ang nagbabayad kaya ok lang.hehe

*atog:

Ang layo nun, sir. Nueva Ecija to Albay!?! 4.3k pesos lang ang pinakarga mo balikan? Matipid. When we went to Bicol, QC to Naga, Pajero FM ang dala namin, almost 3k ang kada full tank namin and 3x ata kami nagpa full tank. Pero we stayed there for 4 days.

Pero mura ung 20k na charge mo kung titignan ko, all in pa. Ung 12k na chinacharge nung friend ko doon sa kanila for a whole day tour, kahit all in pa, sobrang taga talaga. Mukhang wala ngang 200 kms un back and forth.

So far ano ang mga naramdaman mong problems ng GL Grandia mo for a little over a year of ownership? Well of course aside from the fact that you find the engine sound inside the cabin loud coz it's under the driver seat. Meron bang parang mabilis masira sa suspension perhaps, airconditioner, etc?
