2014 Corolla 1.3 GLi AT - aliusman420

Uff that feeling is awesome when you smoke every local car in the 1.8 Prius, they don't even get close to the tail-lights despite the fact that I accelerate only when they get close enough thinking they can give a flyby, in other words "sharmindagi ka maqaam".

Ali bhai 1.8 Prius is not that fast. The second gen Prius has that instantaneous push when flooring the pedal. 1.8 Prius lacks this feel. I still think Grande will be ahead or atleast neck to neck with Prius 1.8, though I haven't driven Grande.

Press the PWR button while having sufficient charge on a traffic light and floor it as soon as it turns green, enjoy all the cars in the rear view mirror

What's mileage are you getting from it. I guess, it is not as good as Altis 1.6. Further, you can tell bro.

Bro Really I didn't knew that 8th Gen's cabin is also very quiet...Coz I have never driven it...So what about 9th Gen...Is its cabin less or more quieter than 8th Gen coz you said 11th Gen Corolla is significantly quieter than City but is at par with Reborn so tell me about the 9th Gen Civic!!!

Till now the car has only done 3300 kn approx, gets 10 easily on a good day but as my car idles a lot on AC the average revolves around 8-9, and I'm talking about at least 30 mins of idling on AC whenever this car goes out.

I haven't travelled in 9th Gen Civic that much so can't give a verdict but you can ask from @innocent_devil bro his reviews as he owned both simultaneously, previously 9th Gen Civic and 11th Gen Corolla and now 8th Gen Civic and the 11th Gen Corolla GLi AT.

well 10/km is not a bad and good average. I guess, should be 11-12/km.
If you consider Lahore traffic so i guess, it will not give a good average. What you say?

I took it to Lahore when it covered its initial 1000 km on that trip average revolved around 8.5 at that time, should do 9.5-10 in my view at least in the Lahore traffic towards the DHA and Gulberg like areas, in old Lahore it might drop down to 7 km/l even.

Well, i was very well inclined towards GLI A/T. But these fuel figures are not impressive especially when you have this car for daily drive.

These figures improve with time, the average will go above 11 km/l once the car attains a decent odometer reading.

I drive in a township with 30 km/h limit and max journey in a single trip is just 3 or 4 km and my average is 12 km/ltr. On my visit to islamabad for eid i got 13 to 13.5 per km and on journey back to my work station i got 16 km / ltr with heavy foot on a milage of 1100 kms. My car is also 1.3 auto in black.

Those are pretty nice figures I must say Masha Allah. Actually I drive with a heavy foot as well that's why a bit low on the average plus AC is on 100% of the time because I don't roll down the windows due to the interior getting unnecessarily dirty

I currently have a reborn 8th gen and i have driven both 9th gen and Altis Grande.I can tell you that Corollas cabin is most quietest of the all ,then 9th gen then 8th gen and worst is the city

@aliusman you were absolutely right about changing tires.
Today I have changed my car tires to "Advan Db", driving experience has totally changed.. So far I have noticed that steering response has improved a lot. Braking has also improved.
Believe me car feels very light now, I can feel the road.. It feels like there was a heavy load on suspension, which isn't there anymore..
Another thing which I have noticed is that Eurostars perform much better on bumps and pot holes but I would still prefer better handling and steering response which comes from yoko's.
Anyways let's see how it performs further down the lane.
Just wanted to share my experience for people who are in a dilemma of changing tires..

Yes this is what I had explained when I changed my car's tires, the stock tires don't feel in contact with the road at all, at least to me, specially after experiencing Pirellis on my Prius, what beautiful tires they are I swear!
Glad that you have experienced the same thing after changing your car's tires:)

Ok Thanks Bro for telling me this...And one more thing that for the softness of the suspension also your statement would be the same as this that Corolla's suspension is the softest, then 9th Gen then 8th Gen and the worst is the City!!!

My cousin owns a City he even said the Corolla is far better in comfort and a friend sold his 2012 City for buying new GLi manual some weeks back.
