If i upgrade to 11th gen (11.5gen particularly) eh maninibago kaya ako sa hatak?

May issue na ang rack and pinion ko pala lumalagutok sa lubak. Fixed na ba ito sa 11th?

Other issues po sa 11th gen before i upgrade?

don't the two cars have the same engine? only the CVT is new?
i haven't heard of rack and pinion issues in the altis. are you sure, it's the rack and pinion? not the CV joint? the other wear-and-tear suspension parts?

Hmmmm ... "Hatak" and fuel consumption are two different things.

Three month 11th gen 1.6 G owner here.

Iba ang behavior ng CVT (sa 11th gen) vs automatic (10th gen and earlier). Sa CVT, wala kang mararamdaman na head snapping acceleration, at walang shift points. Many times, hindi ko mamamalayan na mabilis na ang takbo ko. May hatak (torque) naman. Going uphill is no problem. Went up Timberland without going manual.

Fuel consumption was supposedly improved dahil sa CVT. I'm getting about 9 in QC driving.

No feedback yet on steering/suspension because my Altis is too new.

10th gen is vvti but 11th gen is dual vvti already. May issue po rack and pinion ng 10th gen and its common.

Wow ganun pala ang CVT.. Sounds good to me kasi im more of a refined driver.

Did you get the facelifted 2017 altis already?

i sit, corrected.
btw, my qaqilalas who have the 10th gen, have no complaints.
lucky them, i guess.

i drive the 2003 (9th gen?), and except for the cramped interior, i have no issues. i am interested in this thread, because i am thinking of getting a new altis.

i used to have a 2003 lancer CVT. wala ngang shift shock. and it's interesting how i can make the kph needle go up as the rpm needle goes down.

Bagay sa swabe driving ang CVT :-)

I got the last 2016 (December) model. Malaki kasi ang discount last March.

Sir ano po ok na tire size for 18s na stock height?

Same tayo ng ride, doc. Ayos sa okay pa naman but on the hunt na rin sana ng Toyota Altis 2.0V 2011-2013 pero very scarce sa 2nd hand market. Y2011 is when this Altis variant first got a CVT yata. Been driving my brother's 11th Gen 1.6V with the CVT and I think I'm not missing the head snapping acceleration naman. My main concern is the supposed additional fuel mileage that the technology affords over the conventional AT. I had my apprehensions earlier but unanimous naman sa nabasa ko that Toyota CVT is one of the most reliable. But as I've said medyo scarce talaga at kung meron man eh above my budget na. Kaya tuloy kung saan saan na napunta ang choices ko.

225/40R18 is the best fit IMO. That's what I had with my old Altis. Sakto pa sa circumference compared to stock tires (205/55R16). 235/40R18 fits too, although a bit wide.

225/45R18 pala yung weird pag walang drop. Sidewalls too thick.
