Altis 1.8 ownership experience

[pwuser173459479074]

Reviews about altis 1.8? If any one own this car how's the experience with 2zrfe (2008-2014) or previous shape one with 1zzfe engine
what is the fuel consumption?
how's the car in general like what are the common issues?
can it go from lhr to isb easily with ac on in summers (just a common question to understand the amount of load it put on engine)?
Why people prefer hardtop over a SR variant

2008-2010 came with 1.8 1zzfe engine.
2010-2014 facelift came with 1.6 1zrfe engine.

1zzfe i had great experience in 2007 altis auto... great car and engine, yes heard tend to reduce oil.. Fuel average in city does not go beyond 10-11 and city 14 or not much maybe more.

130 HP I guess and good power. But machine has gone expensive now, heard 250K...

tend to reduce oil - did it get fix? i mean you found the issue and its fix or not

[pwuser162546563639]

The Toyota 1ZZ-FE engine is known to experience some oil reduction, which is considered normal within certain limits. Typical oil consumption can be around 1 liter every 3,000 to 4,000 kilometers, or even up to 1 liter every 4,500 km, depending on driving conditions and engine health

thanks. Means not something to worry about.

Very well explained! Slight reduction in oil is common in these machines

Own a 1.8 Altis 2010 model Manual , highly reliable car with great comfort .
Average in City with AC does not go beyond 10-11kmpl while on highways touches 13-13.5 at max

In satisfied with performance as my car is having 16” rims and tyres

1ZZ-FE had incorrect piston design that was rectified in later versions but still had a tendency to burn oil. Proper overhauls with updated components and proper maintenance with 5w30 solved this issue.

[pwuser173459479074]

meaning 2zrfe doesn't have such issues so i should for next gen instead of one with 1zzfe for a troublefree experience

[the_mira_guy_08]

Yes it's an overall better engine than the 1ZZ-FE. Just make sure the car your buying uses no higher than 10w30. Thicker oils are death for these engines.

[pwuser173459479074]

one last question: If we compare it with 1.6 altis after 2011. How was that obviously its fuel avg would be better - what about its engine

[pwuser173459479074]

i think altis 1.6 was facelift in 2011 used 1ZR-FE engine.

[the_mira_guy_08]

The facelifted car uses 1ZR-FE. The ZZ engine production ended in 2008-09. International variants of the E140/150 Corolla offered the 2ZR-FE after 2008 while pakistan didn't get this engine till 2014 with the E170. We only got the 1.6 1ZR-FE. As for fuel economy expect 11-13 in city only if the engine uses low viscosity oil, the oem tyre size and good driving habits.

ya thanks for such help. Really thankful
So as per my usage on motorways 1.6 and 1.8 both are good options whether its 1zzfe or 1zrfe both are fine.
