Bro Kuan89,
Most Altis owners I talked to complained about the unlike Toyota consumption they are getting on the Altis. I think the engine they use is not so efficient. Although driving patterns do have major impact on the consumption, the efficiency of the engines also matters. Toyota wins hands down on reliability and durability. But the Altis engine is a drinker for sure compared to the old Toyota Corolla although it was 1.5.

the corolla altis and the previous corolla uses the same type of engine?
-
So what kind of fuel consumption does the current Altis have?

bro.. my friend driving 2.0l camry improve his fc by another 7% and power increase also by installing a simple e-power system. anyone hear of e-power system? any one else try that?

hmmm.. last tym i drove e old corolla tt is AE 121 if u noe e model.. 01 model..my FC is not bad.. can clock up to 500 - 520km.. but my recent altis cannot..
last sunday i went to malacca my FC not bad.. i tried not to rev too much..
and constant 150 - 170km/h.. half tank 400km.. tis is my best i ever drove..

Very ex for a tomyam car, that's 10k extra at least can pump 5 yr of petrol. Same engine with 1.2ton body confirm FC goes up. I duno wat's the selling point?
Axio 1.8 is DVVTI ? but how about this Altis?

hmm... i oso dunno wat's the selling point of this altis?perhaps the new body ba. the "proven n efficient" 7 yr old engine is definitely not a selling point! not all axio 1.8 r dual vvti. all altis sold in South East Asia will be using the same old single vvti engine. countries like china n australia will be enjoying the dual vvti.
-
hmm.. if i not wrong.. e current selling new model altis is Dual VVT.. ( 1.8 model )
cos i read e specs they wrote it.. but i not too sure for e 1.6

Newer cars seems to be heavier than the older ones.

the new corolla altis retails at S$67K, i can get a Renault megane sedan at S$60k, it is cheaper, safer (6 airbags, Euro Ncap 5 stars) and better equipped, it also has a better engine (110hp vs 109hp, 151Nm vs 145Nm), better transmission. Lastly, it is also BIGGER inside.

From The Straits Times, 15 March 2008, classified C19
maybe engine wise it is just a little advantage, but transmission wise, the megane sedan has a 4 speed proactive transmission with manual selection, where else for the corolla altis it is only a 4 speed Super ECT without manual selection

what advantage has the engine got?? can u explain??? looking at juz figures and saying that the engine having higher bhp and torque is better is juz simply superficial....
and having manual selection means having a better transmission??
i seriously wonder if ur basis of comparison is just....

Manual override is actually Porsche's Tiptronic.Porsche licensed the technology to most car makers but they have to use their own names(except a few like Audi,who can use "Tiptronic")
Well,to each his own if a car w/o tiptronic is worth it.I feel it's not because most car(even middle level and some entry) nowadays are coming with Tiptronic.And its very useful in case u wanna control it like a manual.
Sunny,Lancer etc is rather dated as well.

so u saying ALL manual override stems from porsche tiptronic??
may i know where u get your information from....
and a car w/o tiptronic is not worthy to drive and dated?? dude.. with this statement u are gonna be pissing off a lot of pple around here....
most of the time.. drivers of this type of car juz wanna put in D and cruise...
and its not really useful... the kick in of gear is laggy... and at the heart of the transmission is still a torque convertor.. who are u kidding...
if u want to play.. juz get the manual...

The pricelist on sgcarmart.com from Wearnes Automotive puts the Renault Megane Sedan at $75K. Why is there a discrepancy with the newspaper advert?
-
