Toyota Corolla 10th Generation Altis Owners [continued]

Good day fellow tsikooters.
How's Altis? Hehe

I'm looking for a sedan kasi for a college student. Everyday gagamitin, Matipid po ba sa Gas?
I'm comparing between 1.6E/ Mitsubishi Lancer EX(1.6 variant, M/T) and Hyundai Elantra. Hehehe!

go for Altis if what you are really looking for is PERFORMANCE. Elantra is really a looker, but has not proven yet anything when it comes to performance.

What are your priorities? Performance? Comfort? The Altis is basically the all-arounder and the E comes with a 6-speed m/t just like the Elantra and when the college kids starts taking it to work years from now, it still fits in well. For performance though, the Elantra is ahead. Try to check also the safety ratings online for the cars that you are looking at.

For FC, my m/t 2012 E gets 9-10km/L++ in city driving. That's EDSA rush hour traffic on an almost daily basis. If traffic is light to moderate then i hit the 11s.

I drive often on the highway at night and i'm satisfied with the set-up on my gen 10.5 (even with my medium black tint).

Low beam (HB4) - Narva All-weather
High beam (HB3) - Philips Vision Plus
Fogs - Stock

If you're on a budget, try first the Osram NB or Philips Extreme Vision for both low and high beams. For the foggies, try going All-weather.

If you want to go HID, try the retrofits (projector type) as discussed on the other threads. Also, is your car heavily tinted? If it is then perhaps changing your tint to lighter (magic neutral shade) can help a lot.

Vinj, pag all weather ba yellow na yung output?

^ What you'll see is not really yellow but something in-between the stock white output and light yellow/gold. It's better than pure yellow which has a low output in clear weather, while in poor weather the reflection off the wet surfaces (or fog) is lessened as against the stock whites.

We're using Osram A/W (55/60W) on our Vios. Okay naman. Haven't tried the NBs or Philips Vision on it though but i'd guess they'd be brighter.

If you want, there's a option to go 90W/100. Just buy the Narva plug and play relay kit at Banawe (mga P800 more or less ata), specify that you need the one for the Toyota cars. Then get ceramic sockets, and 90/100W bulbs, good to go na.

thanks vinj. will consider that. mura lang pala yung wiring harness. kala ko nasa 1200 and above.

maybe you gave it a taste of the italian tune-up.. heh heh.

Di naman. Actually, I haven't gone on a long highway drive for quite a while now. Weird though, my onboard computer didn't reset (still showed the same km/l and avg. speed as before), but I'm fairly certain that the transmission's much more responsive now so the ECU definitely changed.

What I discovered tonight is that the added responsiveness didn't impact my FC negatively. I reset my MID before I visited my aunt a while ago, and clocked in 9.2 km/L while averaging 80-120 for the most part and a short burst to 170 along Commonwealth. Realistically that's around 8.9 km/l since my MID is about 0.3 km/l too optimistic.

Best part is I didn't have to use the paddles to overtake at all.

Now that's how you (properly) drive a 2.0L Altis... :diablo:

Mga Sirs, just would like to ask all 1.6 10.5 gen ALTIS owners kung ilan liters na oil ba talaga ang kailangan. The reason why I've asked is because when I went for my first 5,000 PMS they charged me with 5 liters, but when I've checked my dipstick it is way over the limit so I have to go back to the service and asked them to reduce my oil. And now that I am going for my 1st 10,000 PMS I want to make sure that I will be charged with the right amount of oil, if it's more than 4 liters then it's ok for me to be charge with 5 liters but if the needed oil is only 4 liters then why would I pay for an additional liter if the engine only needs 4 liters anyway. TIA
