yeah tried genting with 6 adults, fully grown. due to the mods i have done, no problem lor, enough torque. abit slow, but not underpowered. fc is nice, city driving 400+km for full tank, full tank around RM70. Highway driving can hit 650km without problem.

lanevochris...
what a nice car mod....ur avanza LED spotlight is it long shape??
i alos decide to get one...but i going to get white colour....how much u bought??

thanks...and keep supporting

Its daylight not spot light, i just changed to white, here's a pic




now its much nicer.

Can we drive Avanza 1.3 to Genting or Cemeron Highland smoothly ? Or we need 1.5 ?

with 6 full grown adults up genting in 1.3 is no problem, enough power, those that say underpower is bullsh1t

One of the best points about the Avanza is the FC. For normal driving, I have been getting 460-480 km per full tank. I have not moded anything yet. Still under warranty. However after my 10,000km service a month and a half ago, the acceleration is incredible. I don't know what the service centre did, but perhaps after the oil change etc etc, my acceleration is very good. I just step lightly on the pedal and it really is very responsive, can outrun some cars at the traffic light, haha. I think the avanza gets better after a few services later.

Ahhh... this thread bring back some good memories that i had on my Avanza... still remember my car is the very first batch of the Avanza and both myself and my friend bought at the same time. Driving around town is fun with good view because of the height. And of course at that time, everyone are looking at us like we were driving a ferrari.. hehehe..

Because of the high torque, this car is damn fun to drive but not to speed. Although my 1.3 can goes up to 140 easily.. heheheh

lanevochris,
i mean ur blue light down there one....quite nice but it will be more nicer if put white colour....is it LED??

yes its LEDs and i have changed it to white already

I feel a little scared or threaten when an Avanza tries to speed beside me ... the car is big size ... don't know how to describe the feeling. No offence to owners in here.

Well, when you think normal unmodded Avanza is scary when it overtake, wait till you see the modded and full body kit Avanza, that is scary. I saw one overtake mine last time. I am going 120km and 'it' overtake me with ease. Saw that one once when going back from Kuching.

sure bo? 1.3 can go up 140km/h easily?

my 1.5 reach 120km/h, i feel floating on the air

hi count me in.im avanza 1.5G...2007 owner

hey you guys ever notice the automatic effect of the engine downshift when going downhill and you stop pressing the gas pedal?
is that normal?
by the way, i am a new avanza owner! gotta say i love it! better in all respects than the Vios it replaces except maybe for ride quality. but i am sure you guys can help me tame the bounciness.

I understand that the ride is a bit rough.. will changing the absorber solve the problem? As I mentioned above, planned to get 1.. but haven't do a test drive yet.. planned to get gold colour avanza.. is it available in manual? btw, i'm looking for year 05 avanza..

Yes, by change the rear absorber to more stiffer type will help reduce bouncing problem. I already change mine and it gave me more stability while cornering too.
