Hi guys sorry to interrupt. I just joined today. Let me have a
chance to give my personal view on the Altis 1.6. Here goes.
After driving the Altis for 2 months I find that it is far worse
than I am expecting, for the VVTI fuel economical engine is a load
of crab! I had being driving 3 Corona, Ford Telstar 1.8(M), 1
Corolla, Opel Zafira 1.8(A) and Altis. This I would say is the
worse fuel economical car I had ever driven. My previous Opel can
clock 12Km/L and my Altis only clock Ave. 11.5Km/L. It is a very
wrong decision that I had make as I thought that the fuel
consumption will be about the same as my Collora 1.5LX(M) which I
managed to clock easily 15Km/L. Should have stick to my Opel MPV.
What is worse is that when I send in to the Borneo service centre
they told me Altis is heavier than the previous Japan model.
Another load of crab, in fact Altis is lighter. I know because I
have both the catalogue. Altis is heavier on the Kerb weight but
only less than 10kg. Do yo think it will affect that much? The
answer is no.
Well, no matter what I am stuck with it for the next ten
years.
Oh one more thing, thanks for listening
