Corolla Altis Owner - Do you know you are buying a Thailand car ?

[Genie47]

It is not a silly mistake. It is a usually missed item. Thank God Paul and family are safe.

[Mydotcom]

hmm...i'm considering getting a Altis soon but after hearing it's a taxi car..now not sure if it's a good choice....

 

If you're gonna avoid buying any cars that are used as taxi in any parts of the world, then you are destined to take public transport liao. Why?

 

Volkswagon used as taxi in Shanghai.

Altis in Bangkok.

Hyundai in Korea.

Toyota in SG.

Merc in SG.

Nissan in SG.

Proton in MY.

Skoda in UK.

Once heard from my friend that he saw a skyline GTT being used as taxi in Brunei.

Unfortunately, a decade down the road from the first Thai assembled Altis sold in S'pore, car distributors like Borneo Motors are not passing on the savings of cheapest cost in Thailand to consumer.

 

Estimated cost of latest Corolla Altis to Borneo Motors = OMV$15,000 x 2.5 (taxes) + COE $72,000 = $109,500

 

Estimated gross profit = Selling price #133000 – Cost $109,500 = $23,500

This is a good thread to revive Thai made cars

[Fuelsaver]

Actually didn't find any issue w made in other country other than jap jap cars. Essentially still "jap" spec parts n not some chiong parts n also same robots for the factories elsewhere than in jap. Just that other country ppl putting it together. For example, can't tell mit mz2 n mii sienta fr jap models..

see the number of new cars on road shoulder with open boots can tell la.  not all parts make by the car manufacturer and some parts that is oem cant control too much.  Thai make cars have many parts comes from china and thai itself.  not all from japan.

_{Any feedback on Altis performance in particular on the FC? I am seriously considering putting my money down on one. Its was down to either Honda HRV, Nissan Qashqai and Toyota Altis. HRV image really spoiled by all the UBER/GRAB Vezel on the road. Nissan Qashqai 1.2 Turbo really looks good but heard some real horror stories on the engine. So now went down to showroom twice to take a look at the Altis, exterior looks really nice but interior wise can't say much, looks really basic.}

You might want to wait for the facelift model.

Current version only left red brown black. Unless you are ok with one of these choices.
