The 1.6 Altis would have been a sweet spot had there been a newer transmission type. IMC has just cut corners here to maximize profit. It would have been a much more capable car, which it still is.

Some serious reforms are needed in our auto industry.
Though all variants of corolla are value for money except XLI, but if one has budget he/she should opt Grande.

Noob question why are you changing the spark plugs so early ? are the stock ones bad ?

[fouadbakht]

Nope. They are fine. There's a phenomenon called "Chull". And it knows no boundaries no difference between new or old

Did you use a light coating of anti-seize on the threads since these plugs can remain installed for a long time to prevent them from seizing in the head due to corrosion?

Is that a "no" or a "what is anti-seize" look?

[fouadbakht]

^^^ Maybe both?

Use something like this or equivalent, and remember to reduce the tightening torque by 15-20% from the specified value:

AGS/.14 oz. (4 g.) Thread-Magic anti-seize TMP-1 at AutoZone.com
