only 1.3 version come with manual, 1.5 is onli in auto

i drove to Ipoh and back yesterday, fuel consumption was was ok, about 380km for 33L with mixed urban and highway driving. smooth and relatively quiet at about 300 rpm. cruised at about 100 to 110. a little bit wobbly when passing buses. it was raining heavily also but it was not skittish. thumbs all round. just a little bouncy at low speed but i think the suspension still needs a bit of stiffening.

Me Avanza 1.3 2007 owner. Good value for me.

Can go up Genting no problem with 6 adults and 2 kids. Some parts of course slow, but overall ok!

If i'm not mistaken, 1.3 also got auto transmission... i'm very sure also lar..
But they were saying 1.3 auto were too weak to carry the car... therefore I'm looking for manual 1.3.
Year 05 manual. I'm targeting at the colour which is yellowish/gold.. i found it quite nice....


You are driving auto or manual?

Yes, 1.3 with auto and manual, and 1.5 with ONLY auto

Auto!

Great...
My father drove his friend avanza 1.3 manual to genting before, he were saying it's quite underpower, at that time 4 adults only.. maybe he is not so well in handling the car since it's not his car.. or maybe he's too used to sentra 1.5 engine in his sunny.... kekeke..

Well it's only 1.3, what to expect. We still can reach safely. It won't drive like a 2.0, but we don't go up Genting everyday right? But certainly lotsa room to carry stuff.

I drove a kelisa auto to genting before, eventhough it's 1.0 it really got the ummph.. it's a small powerful car..
However, avanza is true spacious.. good to carry people and stuffs especially balik kampung....

mine is a golden 1.5 auto. no mods so far except V-kool tinting.

Looking for 1.3(M) Year 05 - Sparkling Gold colour..
No mod.. must be stock..

Prefer owner to buyer, anyone want to let go, let me know.. not urgent buy, will find a good condition one then only deal.... See any avanza owner want to upgrade or go oversea.. let me take car of your baby...

I like the gold color too, but due to rush to get car, have to settle for green, which was my 2nd choice.

mine is gold, originally red was on the shortlist and so was green, but we settled for gold!

Haha, good for you, still the best color for the Avanza methinks. Matches the beige interior.

What happened to all the Avanza owners? Please keep this thread alive.

fuel price hike!
i dont know why we are being made to pay real world prices for fuel when we are forced to pay unreal world prices (read lower) for our cars! the pm should walk and the talk, get out of his merc and stop jetting off to here, there and where the sun doesnt shine on that airbus a319 and fly airasia or firefly just like he expects us to do! he also must UBAH GAYA HIDUP! UBAH!

Maybe sold their cars due to fuel price hike!

Consumption is not too bad, definitely better than a 2.0 car.
