Warning About Toyota Cars

[Pepeng Manas]

sa lahat talaga ng product merong lumalabas na di maganda, imposible na walang lumabas na may defect.

 

malas mo lang kapag ikaw ang nakabili nito.

i agree, bro. IMHO, kahit benz pa bilhin mo, minsan talagang may palpak pa rin. i remember dati na may pinalabas sa tv na yung volvo may defect at hindi maayos-ayos.

 

revo namin after 1 year, yung fuel gauge naman ang problem. very inaccurate. pinagawa na namin dati sa casa, hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin maayos.

[qazaq]

actually, benz ngayon madami problema. sa u.s, toyota na number one. at nasa top 3 in terms of reliability. so tama, malas na lang kung lemon ang nakuha mo. pero dapat under warranty yan, minsan yun dealer pinapahirapan customer nila.

 

one time bumili kia carnival kaibigan ko. lemon nakuha nila. every week for the first month meron bagong sira nakikita. sinubukan ayusin naman ng dealer nila pero palpak pa din. nagsawa na at nagalit yun dad ng friend ko so nagreklamo mismo sa kia head office. in the end, pinalitan buong car nila kahit 2-3 month used na. ok naman yun replaement car. meron na lang problem sa aircon pero naayos naman.

I have no problem with people negatively criticizing a brand or product as long as there is a solid evidence they can present which is backed up by data from a reputable source. Hearing a "proof" from a third party and then packaging it as if it is a "solid" evidence is altogether dubious to say the less.

One shoud present facts that are verifable and could stand scrunity.

Bro,

they're slashing prices of altis because it's about to be phased out, it's a good opportunity to buy. IMO, i prefer toyota over honda because toyota spare parts have lower prices.

we started having problems with our generic toyota cd player about a month ago. a week ago, it wouldnt play any of our cd's (even the original cds). we bought our car (toyota vios) 2 years ago. 2 of my co workers have the same problem (toyota vios and altis) plus a cousin (vios). after 2 to 3 years, our toyota cd players started malfunctioning.

My aunt recently bought a Vios from Toyota Pampanga. Those bastards took more than a month to get her license plates. They have the worst service and not very truthful. :thumbsdownsmiley:

One month waiting time for the car plate is the standard nowadays. The case is the same with other brands & even motorcycles.

For Manila maybe one month is standard - not for Pampanga. My Dad called them and threatened to bring action against them. They called my aunt right after that and gave her the license plate.

i feel bad for you guys....have you have it checked with other casa's? or try to consult with toyotaclub......

though i really believe dapat religious ang pagpalit ng oil....every 5k or 3 months (whichever comes first). sometimes i go beyond that (but i don't drive a toyota)...try to avoid mag blacken na masyado yung oil by doing weekly checkups if you do not intend to change the oil in recommended intervals.

yah.. toyota has better servicing pero meron ako na notice sa toyota vs honda gasoline vehicles, yung ride sa honda mas smooth kaysa sa toyota.. another is that if you compare a 1.6 na altis vs a 1.6 na civic (both 2004 models) mas lighter 2 drive yung 1.6 civic over the altis.. but in terms of fuel economy, mas economic ung altis..it's a matter of preference lang.. mas matibay din yung parts sa toyota kc for heavier use such as taxis comapred to honda pero yung interior sa honda ay maganda compared sa toyota. the interior sa top of the line vios for sale now is the same as the interior sa one of the variants sa camry.. yung dashboard placement and design

[anzflip]

mas okey sa akin ang toyota. sa driver lang problema..kahit ano naman sasakyan kung hindi maingat masisira yan kagad..

[abduljackolsalsalani]

my problem is with the cd of my altis, may times kinakain. brought it to my dealer, up to now di pa rin naayos. Sad part is, somebody there stole my mounted ipod pa.Luckily, they left the fm transmitter and holder.

Civics have better driver visibility, corners better too, I've beaten galants, corollas and camrys on a slalom with an ordinary vti. With a little programming/chip replacement an ordinary vti (find a way to take off the catalytic converter and rev limiter on your new civic and you'll see ) can be a real motorsport performer not like its Toyota counterparts. Ive had every civic from 91 to present except for the sir variants, we stopped buying corollas/altis five years ago. Mura na rin parts nang honda plenty of aftermarket performance stuff you can get out there.

 

here are some of the usual honda downsides, may trade off ang performance:

 

1. weak brakes

2. bad automatic transmissions on civics (2000 down i think)

3. engine cooling systems that are guaranteed to break down five years after purchase without warning

4. weak suspension (stock)

 

Pero the Land Cruiser rockS! no equal talaga....hehe sorry ha..what can I say? Good power to weight ratio...drives like a civic on the street (no kidding), durable pa.

Most reliable cars I've ever owned....Haven't had any problem with our Prado and Fortuner............just the regular tune-up and change oil lang ok na.....maybe I'm just lucky but I'm definitely sold on the brand........
