And I had to wait like 2 to 3 months for delivery.

I had the impression that it sells like hot cake and the supply can’t keep up with demand.

why ask for a non-refundable down payment on a car that is supposedly selling like hot cakes?
and why agree, if it won't put you ahead of the line?
unless! as egan said, "they're gonna sell you a grey market"...

go to another dealership, siguro.
i hope the gimmick is not toyota-wide.

Para sa 10% non refundable na halaga, ang gagawin nila ay kukuha sila ng unit sa ibang bansa at para may sigurado sila kita kung sakali mag back out ka.

Ganyan nangyari sa isamg kilala ko, nag order sya ng Highlander sa isang dealer sa MM, tapos ganun din hiningi. Tapos yung unit may warranty ni Toyota dealer.

Dadalhin kaya dito? If they can offer it at a lower price than a WRX, then it will be worth it.

If Toyota PH will bring it here as a sedan form, This will be a serious competition against the Civic RS turbo.

More like:

Corolla GR vs. Civic Type R.

I wish they turbocharge the 2.0 Dynamic Force engine (300+hp) with AWD and put in the GR Corolla.

Ride for the night:

Direct competitor is obviously the Civic 1.8E. In fairness, the 12th gen Altis 1.6V has stepped up quite significantly vs the 11th gen.

Pros:
- Looks more elegant than its predecessor. The 11th has more striking looks but I don't think it will age as well as the 10th or the 12th.
- Has features not present in the Civic 1.8E - leather power-adjustable seats, 7 airbags, LED fogs, parking sensors, rain-sensing wipers
- Rims are the correct size for the body - the 17s look very nice already, not like the Civic which looks hideous with the stock 16s

Cons:
- Still does not drive anywhere as good as a Civic. Less power, less planted handling, CVT less responsive
- Head unit is awfully outdated - too small for the enclosure, no Android Auto or Apple Carplay
- Feels less roomy than both a Civic (which is wider and longer) and even the 11th gen (due to lower roofline)
- No remote engine start and parking guide on the rear camera
- Civic is still more of a headturner (especially with appropriate 18" rims) both inside and out

hows the NVH, the civic has really good nvh up front, but the back has too much noise from the wheel arch.
