Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [continued]

[burburigmus]

Bigat ng paa ng mga kamag-anak mo Yang 5km/L mangyayari kung parang sedan ang pag-maneho mo ng innova. ~8.3km/L ang city driving KUNG...
- tama lagi tire pressure.
- hindi mo basta basta palalampasin 2000rpm. Tangapin mo na lang na hindi sing bilis ng kotse umarangkada ang innova.
- gamitin mo momentum ng sasakyan, pagulungin mo pag may pagkakataon, e.g. kung alam mo halos full stop ka sa unahan wag ka na umarangkada. Parang sa pag-bibisikleta, hindi ka panay padyak at brake pinapagulong mo din. Bumuwelo ka bago dumating fly-over.
- iwasan mo maipit sa traffic (stop and go), bumiyahe ka ng mas maaga o mas late, wag ka sasakto sa rush hour.
- kung naipit sa traffic, wag ka na umapak sa gas kung kaya naman pagulungin ng makina.... sayang lang pepreno ka din naman.
- kung paakyat parada sa garage mo at safe naman street parking sa daan ka na lang, wag mo na paakyatin. Same goes with city parking... iwasan mo yung aakyat baba ka pa kung meron mas ok na mapaparadahan.
- wag ka basta basta mag-overtake. lagi mo tatanungin sarili mo, kailangan ko ba talaga mag-overtake o ayaw ko lang may sasakyan sa harap ko? ang pag overtake dapat change lane lang (passing lane) kasi mas mabilis talaga takbo mo... hindi yung kailangan mo pa umapak ng mabigat sa gas para maka-overtake. Parang pag naglalakad... hindi ka naman tatakbo para lang maunahan ang nasa harap mo di ba?
- wag ka maglagay ng rack sa bubong, dagdag drag lang yan sa hi-way. Malaki naman loob ng innova, rarely mo lang din magagamit yan, e.g. maglilipat ng bahay.
- ibaba ang mga hindi kailangan na gamit... dagdag bigat lang yan at dagdag kunsumo sa gas tuwing aarangkada.
- sa gabi pag pauwi, kung safe naman sa subdivision mo at ilang metro din ibabyahe mo sa loob, patayin mo na aircon, fan ka na lang (ubos lamig) o kaya baba bintana.

thanks sa advice master. karamihan diyan sa mga advice mo ginagawa ko, siguro meron prob sa engine ng van namin. thanks sir. update ko kayo kapag nakuha na namin innova, same color kami ni sir igme2894.

And by the way, ethanol has lower energy content than gasoline.
So we use more fuel to travel same distance now.

You are probably correct. By the way, the technical term is Lower Heating Value (LHV). I've been meaning to research for the LHVs of Gasoline and Ethanol. In one instance, I got more distance with gasoline variant without ethanol (Phoenix Unleaded) than the ones with (Shell or Petron Unleaded). This I observed on my service car.

Sir congrats sa new ride ninyo kakainggit naman.
Kami, we are very disappointed sa Toyota Bicutan because our SA promised to give us an Innova V D4D bronze until end of July but up until now wala na yung promise nya he doesn't even know kung mabibigyan sila ng Planta ng unit, hindi rin nya alam kung may stock ang planta. 1 week na kaming naghihintay. Ang labo nga eh, ang pagkakaalam ko their dealership is company owned... Complete bank P.O. and downpayment na kami. Lesson learned na wag maniniwala sa sinasabi at promise ng SA at wag mag down agad... Sadly wala tuloy kaming sasakyan ngayon still waiting without assurance.

Hayyy.... Just want to share our experience with Toyota Bicutan

Yun nga ang balak ko sir, since hindi nila tinupad ang commitment date nila I will demand for a free spoiler hehehe....

Ok ba binigay nilang offer sa inyo sir? Sino SA ninyo?

Approaching my 5km PMS. I've been using Mineral Oil during my 1km PMS. Any advice? Should I switch to Full Synthetic oil? I'm thinking of using Mobil1 worth around 700/L and if you would mutiply that with 7? it would cost me almost 5,000 just for OIL. Do you think it is worth it?

Hi louie,

i forgot the SA's name.. pero they offered 35k off the actual price.

40% down 4 years to pay

freebies:

tint (lumina)
tools and jack
rust proof
luggage tray
LTO registration
Insurance with AOG

nakalimutan ko na yung iba... i am trying to negotiate pa yung chattel fee kasi medyo mataas...

i might upgrade the tint kasi lumina yung tint na kasama... im not sure if its a good brand.. can anyone tell me?

thanks,

sir , payo lang po, demand for 3M tint (instead of Lumina Tint ?), yun po ang ginawa ko but since di nila maibigay ang 3M tint i opted for another freebie(s) instead, in exchange of the offered one.
