2003 Corolla

[Andrewtankw]

Hi, all,

 

Saw in the papers that BM is bringing in the 2003 Corolla. Does anyone have any pic on how this baby will look like?

 

According to the SE, it is only a facelifted model, wonder if it will be like the M'sia Altus?

Yup, it's a facelifted model. Went for a test drive couple of weeks ago, it wasn't in the showroom yet. Instead, I was shown pictures of it by the SE. Main differences are the headlamps, front grille, taillamps, digital centre console and the elongated rear number plate holder. That's all I can remember.

 

Hope this helps!

[Andrewtankw]

Cool.

 

Where did you get to test drive? I am interested to change my current Honda and if this looks better than the previous one, I will get it.

 

What did you think of the looks? Saw a couple of pics and it looks good. But usually the brouchers are kinda misleading.

 

Appreciate any feedback.

 

Thanks

Hmmm I went for the test drive two weeks back too...

 

 

I was told that the first batch of the 2003 facelifted model will be coming in this Nov.

So if you wanna see the new model, go ard that period..

 

They had a good package that includes everything...

Toyota is an all rounder... except the look. (IHMO)

 

So end up, I got a lancer instead...

Thanks for the info. I like the Lancer model too esp the interior.

 

But I am not the only one making the decision here. Toyota's still preferred if the new facelift lives up to its brouchures..

 

Did you manage to test drive the facelift model?

 

I am interested in some first hand opinion on that one.

[DonJuan]

 

Give BM a call. I believe that they are more than willing to arrange a test drive on the new model once they have it in their showroom in Nov.

Hi,

 

Tested the car at BM Leng Lee...but it was the current model....I was only shown pictures of it by the SE. The car still looked very similar to the current one, except for the things I mentioned in my previous post.

 

You driving a Honda now? Which model? Me also driving Honda.

 

Cheers!

[BoneStock]

Yup, that's the one. The SE at BM also showed some of these pics.

Hi Vtecc,

 

Yup, My is a Honda Civic VTEC Vti.

 

96 model. Giving me some problem already, so thought that it might be a good time to change to another model. With the high COE still got some value when scrap.

[BoneStock]

OIC...don't tell me it's the infamous MMT thingy

 

Me driving City VTEC.

 

Cheers!
