Corolla Hatch/Auris launched at Geneva 2018

Usually mazda’s NVH is one of the worse. Good handling n all but feels noisy & rough. Maybe cx9 improved but somehow, little interest in it

 

haha u r different category of buyer.

[Lala81]

Only Jap and American.

 

Our version might be different.

 

Jap version quite good le

 

generally speaking, other than engines and head unit, transmissions and interior for USA/Jap/SEA compact and executive sedan models are usually identical in recent years for Toyota, Honda.

No la, dun say liddat. I oredi say I’m happy to buy jap. It’s juz the poor NVH that irritates me. And it’s not about whether it’s a B&B car. The entry level Golf 1.2 is surprisingly refined. When i test drove the Mz3 1.6, the poor NVH was pretty obvious

yeah agreed, the mz3 in terms of NVH. That one i test drove before.

 

I would say my elantra is pretty decent, really don't find it too different during test drive from an altis which is probably the best NVH for these jap B&B class compacts.

The contis were more expensive, so didn't test drive.

Golf, i only sat in the older model before. No different from any honda or toyota to me.

For Corolla, JDM is different from overseas since Gen 9.  Singapore still sell Gen 9 JDM corolla till it was FL.

 

For Camry, JDM is different from overseas since Gen 6.

No worries.  We will never get it here.

 

I think the aggressive look has something to do with TNGA chassis.

If BM can bring in, can sell against competitors like Civic hatch, Golf, Focus hatch, etc.

Borneo Motors did bring in the UK made Auris some years back. Didn't really sell well. Rarely even see it on the road.
