Got a New Altis 2005 Automatic.
The first good thing is the delivery time .The car is delivered in 19 days after the booking. The General time of booking is around 6 Months for XLI at that time.
The interior features are much better than the normal corolla like the Map Lamps for driver and front pessanger. Driver AirBag, Doble Din Pioneer Pre with MP3 Support and very handsome looking Optitron meter. The build quality of interior is below average. The AirVents are not properly fitted. Went to dealership to get it fixed but they could not help although it was a manufacturing fault but they failed to take the responsibility or provide any remedy.
The wooden console center pocket is very poorly designed and got broken within first 3 months. Need to get it repaired from a local grill maker who has added the steel rods and since then its working perfectly.
The Best thing about Altis is its acceleration. The engine is 133HP i.e 100 kW. 2009 and onwards are detuned to 97KW.
Just press the floor and you will feel the torque. Excellent response at low revs. There is no locally manufactured car that can give you such a response upto 3000 RPM which is usually the limit for city driving. Mine is an Automatic so not as fast as the Manual one but still pretty quick. Also the ECT Power mode allows you to keep the lower gears for much longer times. Although if u are flooring the car then ECT or no ECT are same.
Doing 150-160 KM/h is pretty easy for the car.
The average on fuel is around 10.5 and on CNG with Lambda Kits its 120+ in 55 Liter cylinder.
The General tires that come with the car are no good.However the car does not have scary feeling of bad breaks due to the presence of ABS.
I have changed my tires to 205/65/14 and the grips improved a lot. On a rainy day you need to be careful as the ABS engages a lot but for a normal dry day I will rate the brakes above average.
The ride is bumpy compared to Japanese Corolla or the Civic But the suspension is blessing in the rural areas with no roads.You need not to care about the bad patches much.
The leg room is good for passengers up to 6 feet.Also the rear passengers does not have a same crippling feel that is associated with civic 2008.
Looks wise the car is not bad. The door garnish and the side skirts on the doors gives an impressive look to the car they are not sporty but decent.
The fog lights are also included as a standard accessory and the switch is part of the indicator stick.Also the car is equipped with a CAT to provide cleaner emissions.
Its a shame that the car comes without alloys.It was top of the line model but comes with steel rims.
Overall its a good purchase if you keep in mind the availability of spare parts.

low cost of parts body as well as engine parts.
and lots of thing
Overall it is a good economical for us
