Kardachia Neutral Newbie December 12, 2003 Share December 12, 2003 Hi, Anyone test-driven the Toyota-Corolla Altis 1.6 launched last weekend? Any comments please... Thanks ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hktan Neutral Newbie December 12, 2003 Share December 12, 2003 Yes I test drove it last weekend. A short one as too crowded there. It is as good as the previous one. Some might said the Auto tranmission is different and not smooth from the previous one. More spacious than the previous one I think but in term of LxWxH, Altis is much more than the previous one and also power better than the pervious.

En0203 2nd Gear December 12, 2003 Share December 12, 2003 huh? i thought altis and corolla are same dimension?? same chasis ler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hktan Neutral Newbie December 12, 2003 Share December 12, 2003 I read the spec. in BM and realise that the dimension is different. Altis is longer, wider and higher compare to the Corolla. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondeost220 Neutral Newbie December 12, 2003 Share December 12, 2003 the front and rear overhang already looks longer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
En0203 2nd Gear December 12, 2003 Share December 12, 2003 from what i know the wheelbase is the same 2600mm, so the interior should be the same. maybe like what mondeost220 has pointed out, it's just the exterior is longer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
En0203 2nd Gear December 12, 2003 Share December 12, 2003 ya maybe only the exterior is longer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windcruiser Neutral Newbie December 18, 2003 Share December 18, 2003 Altis is longer than the Corolla by 140mm. I suspect the additional length has gone into its deeper booth space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kardachia Neutral Newbie December 19, 2003 Author Share December 19, 2003 hmmm...from the above replies, I concluded that Toyota made the Corolla Altis longer, wider and taller so that the more powerful engine will be able to move it along at the same cabin space and comfort to its rider? hehe....would you go for it?

E36UDM Neutral Newbie December 19, 2003 Share December 19, 2003 Have yet to test drive it But I have preference for contis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kardachia Neutral Newbie December 19, 2003 Author Share December 19, 2003 Has anyone test driven the Corolla Altis and new Nissan Sunny? Would like to hear the comparison among the two makes, though ALtis is made in Thai. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acemundo Supercharged December 19, 2003 Share December 19, 2003 test driven the altis but not the sunny. the altis is a shade poorer (in terms of handling) than the corolla that it substituted. my other friend finds altis ok. he has also test driven the sunny. according to him, sunny not enough power when climbing slope. other forumers pls take it with a pinch of salt as i just quoting my friend.

Hktan Neutral Newbie December 19, 2003 Share December 19, 2003 I have test drove the Altis but not the Sunny. Agree with Acemundo! If choose between Sunny and Altis, will go for the Thailand made! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

King 1st Gear December 19, 2003 Share December 19, 2003 dun know singapore got the 1.8 manual? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kardachia Neutral Newbie December 19, 2003 Author Share December 19, 2003 wow, so seems like Toyota's "Made by Toyota" slogan that they are aggressively marketing to help ppl get over the fact that their Corollas are now made in Thailand has some kind of truth in it. The last I heard, 90% of the part of the Altis are from Japan but the engine is assembled in China? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
