I checked this out before the test drive was available. The price quoted then in early Feb was 64K.The SE said that the engine used in 1.6 is the same as the current one. That put me off as the current one is a drinker. I did not like the backside either. So I booked a Civic for 7K more :).

yup... exactly! it's the same old 7 yr old engine!!! they only changed the gear ratios to make it "feel powerful" but end of the day, at the expense of ur petrol cos u will be at higher rpm than the previous altis.

current altis i feel that it's not really a drinker leh, i've clocked quite gd mileage wif it. but this new altis is totally screwed, the features that i've posted in my previous post r not available in singapore. no wonder honda took over as the top selling company in Jan n Feb.

BM oso literally shot their foot when they announce they r going to sell the Wish in April. haha! that's 5 yrs after PIs started selling Wish in singapore. tokking abt laggards... LoL!

its look not very cool, whereas i think for fuel consumption, i guess toyota is still the top few choices.... Normally people like my father age, old fasion kind.... 40+ 50+ yo... op for toyota then honda's car.... But for me, youngster mindset, i would op for Mazda 6 or a Honda accord...

wah bro... ur altis is heavily modded izzit?

my altis hor... 1/2 tank can clock abt 400 - 420km leh wif 40 city 60 highway.

if travel up north lagi best, use slightly less than 3/4 tank from sg to ipoh, clocking abt 680km, no need stop for refuel, travelling at 110km/hr to 130km/hr.

how come ur altis like that ah?

my altis if pump full tank, can clock 120 - 130km b4 it starts to drop to the top bar of the fuel meter.

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.

Bro Kuan89,

the corolla altis and the previous corolla uses the same type of engine?

onlooker123 SG

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?

kuan89 SG

Bro Kuan89,

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.

kuan89 SG

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

u mean overseas market?

like wat i've said, singapore is getting single vvti for both its 1.6 n 1.8 variants.

ceecookie SG

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.

onlooker123 SG

Renault Megane Sedan only $60K? You buy from where? I also interested. The last I checked was about $75K.
