      Its been a month with the new corolla altis launched 1 month ago. The facelift may be a not too much. but it really makes a lot of changes . the car has ran some 4500kms and 2 highway trips in that which proved the cars performance, the extra power in the engine is really nice and a lot more smoother. the powered seats are really good and the equipment levels are really high that even the accord dont have them . the light steering is a boon in city traffic but creates fear in the highway. the car got a scratch and the toyota delars treated it very carefully with minimial cost. the rear seat comfort is really gud. fuel economy is around 10.5 in city and 16.5 in highway which is pretty good. the keyless entry go and start stop button makes it feel very easy. 6 gears help in highways. overall the car is an amazing and tempting package from toyota which cannot be resisted.

      I started by comparing the Honda civic and the Toyota Corolla Altis. Must say I was horrified to see the sales team at the Whitefield Honda branch,Bangalore. Absolutely unprofessional, it felt like as if they were doing us a favour. Consulted a couple of friends and reached a conclusion that Honda gave some serious after sales servicing problems. Asked the Honda demo person for a civic TD, and surprisingly the branch did not have even a single car for TD. Finally after a lot of discussion the person took out an old civic with torn leather seats, dusty interiors, and a rattling engine for test drive. Feeling let down and completely disgusted at this behaviour, I walked out and drove to the nearest Toyota showroom. The feeling was completely different. The Staff at Ravindu Toyota was courteous and primarily a lot more professional in their approach. The altis GL was readily available for TD. The car had great pickup, Handling felt good (electronic steering). The engine did get a bit noisy once I crossed 120 km/hr but that was ok. Air conditioning too was very effective on a hot sunny day. Overall build quality cannot be questioned, it’s a Toyota after all. I think this car is definitely a lot more loaded than the Civic and also a lakh cheaper. Overall the car was definitely value for money. Even the ground clearance of the car made sure that it doesn’t hit every god damn speed breaker on the road so very unlike the Civic. I immediately booked the Altis and received my car in a week. The team at Ravindu helped me with all the processes and must say it was a cruise. The delivery too was completed well in 40 minutes. At the end of this entire exercise I am happy I went for Toyota. The car is running great, no problem till date. The car is giving me 12km/ltr in city with AC which is commendable.Good looks, fuel economy, Pleasure to drive, great serviceInteriors could have been better in this price range

      Exterior:- The car comes with Camry like looks. It may not look as sporty or sleek as the Civic, but is has a mature, stately appearance.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort):- Interiors are pretty good and the wood finish is attractive, but could have been a wee bit better. Rear seats are comfortable and feel spacious. Dashboard layout is pretty good but not as snazzy or cockpit-like as in the Civic. The LCD display for odometer and trip-meters are impressive. Range, mileage, outside temperature, fuel economy etc are displayed sequentially on pressing the switch on the steering.  Audio controls on the steering are also good. Lots of storage areas  have been provided. A CD player with aux input and 6 CD changer is factory fitted and the audio quality on the 6 speaker system is good but not great. Boot space is great.

       

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox:- Fuel economy is great. Especially in the city. It outclasses the Civic in this area. Averages about 10.7 km/liter in the city and about 13 km-14 km/liter on highways with the air conditioner on. 

       

      Ride Quality & Handling:- Excellent  and smooth ride quality. Handles very well  at high speeds. Ground clearance is 176 mm and unlike the Civic, the Altis does not scrape bumps and speed breakers frequently. Grips the road well even at 150km/hr. ABS works well and the vehicles braking system is excellent.

       

      Final Words:- Its the car for the mature 35-50 year old  executive from whom quality, performance and value for money matters more than sheer sporty looks and snazzy dashboards. Toyota lives up to its reputation in terms of quality, reliability and maintenance costs. The Corolla Altis is a hassle free car for the family and is definitely the best one can get in the Class D segment. It provides value for money in terms of the features it offers. A Honda Civic with the same features would cost about a lakh more.

       

      Areas of improvement:- Side views for the driver is obstructed. Quality of the upholstery could be bettered. Auido quality can be made better.

      Exterior

       It has an elegant exterior and a stylish shape. The HID headlights look charming. 

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

       It has awesome interiors and features. I especially liked the leather seats. The radio controls on the steering wheel provide a lot of convinence to our fingers tips. The 6-CD changer also gives us a lot of convinence.The centre console pockets are intelligently desinged.The rear sunshade is also a good feature. The AC is also very very powerful. The cruise control also gives our feet time to relax.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

       The engine is quite silent.The fuel economy also good

      Ride Quality & Handling

       The ride quality is smooth and silent.

      Final Words

       I just loveeee it!! It's just awesome. It's heart thumping, brain boggling, feet taping and even more.

      Areas of improvement  

       The headspace should be increased. It should have been 5-speed automatic instead of 4-speed. It should also have  a rear fog light. The boot should have been bigger.

      Exterior

      The car looks extremely stylish. It might be not as stylish as the CRUZE or the CIVIC, however there are a few cars that look as good as the ALTIS..The front grill and the chrome handles are beautiful,,,From the back you will have to look very closely to see the difference between the old Corolla and the new one, but the new look really is a lot more classy than the older one.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

      The boot space is like huge, you definitely won't have a problem with large bags. The interior space is awesome, Lot's of leg room and even better fabric is used internally. Most of the features are standard, however the audio system could have been better. There is no space for a USB port, which is a big let down. Somehow the audio system does not seem to mach the class of the car. The odometer and the rest of the jazz look really great. The rearview mirror having the chromatic feature is really superb. Does help a lot to deflect the glare of the lights following you.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

       Somehow I am not convinced that the ALTIS is a car to push down the pedal and go for large speeds. If you drive at 60, you can drive for long periods wihout feeling tired. The entire journey would be high on the pleasure quotient. Gearbox is smooth, no issues there. But at speeds over 90, you get the feeling that the engine is crying out aloud for you to stop. Somehow it does not sound very smooth at high speeds. This does not mean that you can't drive at say 120, cause the car can really go, if you want it to. Let's just say the car is built to have speed as a secondary motto and luxury as the primary one. Currently it is giving me a mileage of 11 kmpl,,,however I would wait for a few months before I can comment on that

      Ride Quality & Handling

       Like I said the quality of the drive overall is really superb. I drove it for long hours in busy traffic jams and on open highways but I never ever felt like I was tired. It felt like I was cruising with no issues. The handling is equally smooth. No issues with turns and sudden breaks. It handles like a dream.

      Final Words

       It's a great CAR, if you want to top luxury over speed. If you are loking to blaze on the roads, (wondering how you can do that in India though) then go for a CRUZE. But I test drove all the cars in this segment and finally decided on the ALTIS. Tried and tested. Strong and robust. No risks and no fancy thrills.

      Areas of improvement  

       1) Probably they could style it better to match the contemporary looking CIVIC or CRUZE

      2) Include USB port in the audio system

       

      You feel like a KING,great cruisingCould have had a better audio system

      Exterior It looks so cute and cuddly from all angles, the best part are the front lights and the grille.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Quality of interiors is very good, lots of sapce is there, since the height is more than other cars of this segment ( i don't consider SX4 of this segment!), the ease of sitting and getting out is really very good, the music system is simply awesome but very complicated fro me to understand fully, but the controls on the steering work really well.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I have driven about 2500 kms so far and the engine simply sings, its giving me an average of 10.5 in city and i am sure would give about 16-17 on the highway, which is extremely good for a car of thise size, however gears sometimes are difficult.

      Ride Quality & Handling Its no hassle at all, its really smooth and for wahtever small stretches I have taken it on some rough patches, its handled very nicely.

      Final Words A real winner from Toyota, much better choice than the civic.

      Good Points Kinda Luxurious inside, comfortable driving seat position, engine is quiet and powerful, easy to steer in corners, economic fuel consumption.

       

      Bad Points Tires are a little noisy, brakes aren't good(a little).

      I own a 1.8G Toyota Corolla Altis (2011,Jan.) two months ago. I get to spend much time in the car and testing it. I feel the altis can be considered the best car in terms of performance in it's category comparing with other rivals like Civic 1.7 v-tec. On an up going steep road if you exceed upto 40 km/h a slight noise start coming from the tires like a rapid vuvuvuvuvu sound I changed the tyres after this and now i can say that the tyres are not good. It's performance is also exellent on bad roads full of cracks and jerks. Fuel economy is good with 11-12 km/litre in the city and 13-14 km. litre highway driving.Before you go out and buy a civic, I suggest you head for the nearest Toyota dealer and test drive the new Corolla. Chances are you'll agree that this is the BEST in it's class. If I were blindfolded I could have sworn I was in a BMW 3-series. In my country Pakistan I can surely say that in the total cars of pakistan bought by the people 48% are corollas even you can see a corolla after every second on the road! My final words are "corolla altis is the best as compared to honda civic".
