I'm loooking at it too...
I know both having bumpy rides... 1.3 underpowered, not sure about 1.5.. For the price, 1.3 RM59k quite ok, but 1.5 RM7xK++, i felt it's a bit expensive for such rides...... I'm looking at 1.3 manual second hand too.. it's almost 48k... thinking also better buy a new one, since new 1 just 10k apart.. |

actually alot of the bumpiness and other factors which the old version Avanza faced has been fixed. Bumpiness is there still but in my opinion its not that bad. I drive a 1.3 2007 model by the way. Underpowerd, well yeah, sometimes, especially in situations when you want to accelerate but usually by pressing the accelerator more, it should do sufficiently. Toyota came up with the Avanza 1.5 model is so that to answer this underpowered issue but yeah its another rm10k+. Its a people mover which I need for my life at the moment so it still serves it's purpose for me.

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 |

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.

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. |

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.

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.

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.

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! |

for stock rims and tyre size, recommended tyre pressure is the best to follow. unless if you only use your car on highway, then over inflate by 10ps for better fuel economy.

Ahoy to all the avanza owners at here
 My dad is planning to get a new avanza (1.5G). I wonder if there's any special promo goin on for this car?? Btw, how's the fuel consumption of this car?? How's the ride of this car ?? Is there any improvement as compared to its elder sibling ?? There was once i sat on a 1.3L first batch, n the ride was way too bumpy =.=. |

Agreed with you...
Other than double din cd player, other was the same as previous model. I saw there is 1.5E model also... Noticed the gate shifter but it still 4-speed automatic gear box. I thought it use triptonic gear box. |

hey guys....it's me again.
Juz wondering how's the FC for the 1.5L version? Personally, i've sat on both 1.3L and 1.5L respectively (Both are auto models). All i can say that the 1.5L has a smoother ride and a lil bit less bumpy as compared to its sibling. |

Just visit Toyota showroom today during my 30,000km service. Have chance explore around 1.5s model while waiting my car being service. In the interior, just noticed at the center console and door handle, look like being covered by carbon fiber skin. Nice... Front grill also been given some nice touch...

after driving Goldie for almost a year now, can tahan la. no other car is this nice to drive that is FR and at this price! i dont think i want to change much save that springs which i would like to stiffen. aerodynamically, add a flat underbody and rear diffuser to reduce lift and drag. swap out the OEM rims for some that look the Civic hybrid rims that will help cut drag also.

I went toyota sale center few months back. Then i paid deposit rm500 for purchasing a toyota avanza. the salesman said around april-may should got the car. It is written black and white with the estimated time of car arrival. Now the salesman say maybe june only can get and somemore say whole malaysia must wait until june. What can i do now? See his manager or call toyota customer careline?

However, I don't like it since it looks bulky as there is some mental Toyota engineer paste some plastic on the bumper, making it looks wider and thinking that it looks great. Furthermore, I'm the kind of person that thinks 'fast looking car need to be backed up', you know what I mean right? Hehe.the less power due to the Euro2 requirement i think dont u think it look sportier and competitive..they hv to make an improvement to compete with the nissan GL, P1 Exora nad P2 alza.... But there are things I do like and think that it balance my upset on the design, a little. It's the little2 things: Electric Wing Mirror with Signal lamp, Grip door handle, Second row seat now can slide, Beautiful dashboard, Cool center console box and Button-ised Steering. Most of all, Toyota know that uncles and aunties love black-trimmed interior too.. |

Anyway, I guess that's it. I can only comment on the design and spec sheet for now. Yup. The side mirror is not retractable. But at least it got signal lamp there. And if you see nowadays that is trending on most new cars. Maybe I'll change my side mirror, for a reasonable price, of course. About the driving experience of the all new Avanza, I'm very sorry. Never driven it before. |

QUOTE(luqueman @ Jul 10 2012, 10:06 AM) since u owned the old Avanza... About the FC, I never calculate it. Sorry once again. can you elaborate a bit on the FC + handling..... because one of my aunty claimed that the FC a bit high.... But let me tell you how I drive it. I'm quite patient on revs. Please note that I mean my highway driving here. I just put down my foot around 30% down and the revs will build up and gears will shift. After some time, I'll eventually reach 100kmh and that's it. The only way to go faster is press harder. And then, the only time I'll go pedal to the metal is when I'm overtaking and climbing up hills. Now moving on to urban driving. You see, I live in a town where traffic jams are uncommon. I also apply my 30% style here. But most of the time I just release the pedal since it can move itself. Ironically automatic LOL. As mentioned, the Avanza is my mom's and I seldom refuel when I return the car beause the fuel gauge simply dont move. And that's why I feel that it has a good FC. Anyway, my point is fuel consumption depends on how you drive and your driving environment. That's fact. About the handling, I <3 it! Basically I just don't know what understeer and oversteer feels like. Not enough driving experience here. 1. Steering response is a bit lag as when I steer a bit, there's no response. Maybe alignment problem. But I rarely steer over 180degrees when taking bends on 100kmh. Of course, the road I'm travelling is the one I'm used to already, so I know where is the fast corner and where is the corner I need to attack slowly. 2. There are concerns that the car will topple when doing those 'stunts' but trust me on this, the suspension is working. Provided, that you can withstand the Gforce LOL. Moreover, provided that you can withstand the Gforce and steering vibration, you can do 140kmh on a smooth bend and feels like Hamilton LOL. It's really a fun car to drive.3. I dont know whether it is in handling category but I think everybody agrees when I say the spoiler is not functioning when you approach a bump (not a speed bump, just the road is bumpy) at high speed. QUOTE(Deani_77 @ Jul 10 2012, 07:28 PM) Handling no problem... Only at high speed a little bit 'goyang' as for FC check my stats below... 8.2L/100km. Fantastic. Is that based-on-your-own-calculation number or as-claimed-by-Toyota number? |

QUOTE(the golden sukuk @ May 2 2013, 06:24 PM) ya lorr, im planning to buy either avanza or alza.... so much bad review from alza owner, If you like high car then Avanza is your best choice. Been a 2007 Avanza owner last time and I don't have problem through deep pothole using Avanza but bumpiness is the main problem for Avanza especially for 3rd row seat. But built quality was great. I have no major brake down during my 6 years of using Avanza. Only normal maintenance. |

Hi all Avanza owner here, year 2011. Just before the wild sporty look. I agree with most of you here, FC is quite good. RM70 (now at RM1.90) can run me at least 450km. The only problem is the bumpy ride and the goyang feel.
I am thinking of doing some mod here, but not sure which I should go for first. 1. Change RIM and tyre to 15" or 16", wider, so probably not so goyang and better handling 2. Mod my abs and spring, but this one I have no experience at all. Anyone can recommend what I should do to solve the bumpy and handling issue? |

New owner signing in here. Was looking around for a new ride to replace my old corolla SEG and ended up getting the avanza. Will pick up car in one week time.
Just curious after reading the earlier post, full tank RM70 can go 450km. Anyone here can reach 500km? |

Sending car for 1st service today. First two weeks car have been good. Only qualm is the stock wiper leaves a mark on the windscreen when used. Doesn't damage the screen or tinting but leaves a mark.
Fuel consumption not too bad. Can get around average 470km on a full tank. But over the weekend FC was higher because ferried more people in the car and back passengers full blast aircond. But overall, my in laws were happy with the car. Those who sat in the 3rd row seats didn't complain about the bumpiness factor which I conclude is an improvement over previous models. |

I am driving a G spec and its nice and low maintenance... unless you want the leather seats, then get the s spec.. just my view.. as for the aerokit, its really up to individual preference.. to me, is just a cosmetic add on, doesn't improve fuel efficiency or engine performance in any way..

QUOTE(ho1286 @ Mar 10 2014, 10:50 PM) Just get the news the loan approved, now waiting for the sa get my car, btw, y there's many negative comment on avanza Congrats bro. Don't worry too much about the comments coz no car is perfect. This is a high body car which means body roll is of coz there, unlike a sedan. Fellas who are used to sedan of coz feel bumpy if they get into an avanza or even innova. Remember this is a mpv and it serves a different purpose. Bro is that the maintain for this car expensive? I went to janda baik over the weekend and explored some of the really inner parts where the roads were gravel and uneven. The car served me well, if it was a sedan, quite sure some of the lower part of the car would have gotten scratched. Pick up along the genting stretch was ok. Kept it at constant 3k RPM, power and fuel efficiency was ok. Maintainence cost so far has been very acceptable. Next service at 30000km will cost me around RM200 (official Toyota service center pricing). |

Hmm interesting feedback.. don't see any reason why the engine shouldn't be new.. I'm no car expert but you might want to let the car get its first 1000km milage and then if it still feels that way, mention it to the service centre guys during the 1st service...

Hi guys, im currently driving an avanza 1.3 2004
Recently i found that my gearbox is jerky even though i serviced well and this time i did out a bottle of gearbox treatment. Problem: Shaking and jerky while changing from 1st to 2nd gear sometime to 3rd gear Is it the problem caused by the failure of transmission filter? |
