Spurman Supercharged January 2, 2009 Share January 2, 2009 to be fair, I have driven the old altis.... its a good car.... no frills, easy to drive, spacious enough.... FC normal..... Compare with Avante, both are almost same build... Avante looks more stylo...classier looking, interior is subtle... features quite a lot.... size is bigger.. New altis, I no drive b4, but exterior is not great-looking either... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twofouronenite 1st Gear January 2, 2009 Share January 2, 2009 Dun like the reflector on the rear bumper of Altis, makes it look cheap. Reminds me of the JDM Camry but just compact. Avante seem more spacious and taller which makes it difficult to wash if the owner is short and like to wash car himself. Dun really like Korean cars, so will vote Altis.

Quantum 5th Gear January 2, 2009 Author Share January 2, 2009 although I 'm not driving 08 altis, but I suspect it's underpower, compare to old altis the 08 altis engine only 107hp and 145N.m and the old altis 110hp and 152N.m, besides that the 08 altis weigh is 100+kg more than old altis, no wonder so many bro& sis complainting 08 altis poor FC, actually current 08 altis body is designed for DVVT-i engine which is 125hp in 1.6L, just nice for the body weigh on the other hand Avante engine 121hp and 153N.m, and body is lighter abt 80kg than 08 altis, no need to talk too much you can imagine which one give better performance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom99 Neutral Newbie January 2, 2009 Share January 2, 2009 Depends on your priorities like resale, style, handling, reliability or etc. A our bros and sis here have their 'personal preference,' it is purely personal choice. At the end of the day, choose something You really like. Afterall you will stick the car at least for the next 2/3 yrs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanjkp Clutched January 8, 2009 Share January 8, 2009 In SGP Toyota always can win no matter good or bad Right, The "T" always managed to top the list though it did showed some lag for 6 mths in 2008. Probably Altis could not be the best seller due to $$, styling, eng etc..... Somehow the overall result still top as the other models compliment the brand with good volume too !

Jamesc Hypersonic January 8, 2009 Share January 8, 2009 Tomyam Altis $58,488 Kimchi Avante $41,999 Is the Altis really $16,000 better? Your money, your choice but if it were me, I would keep $16,000 in my back pocket and drive the Avante! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Application9999 Clutched January 8, 2009 Share January 8, 2009 Me too perfer Toyota. But not tomyam toyota.
