Altis 1.8 was one the best cars produced in Pak. Too bad that they discontinued.. I had kept Altis and GLi at the same time and the fuel consumption was same in both cases. Altis would run below 2000 rpm @ 80kph speed where Gli would be nearing 3000..!!!
Color does play a role in resale value of the car. These are market dynamics that are set on certain prejudice. You can debate if they are right or wrong.. Thats why I call them prejudice..!! Few valid reasons for RED, dark blue, dark green, etc. are:
- Color matching at the time of repaint is difficult of colors other than white and silver (plain)
- If repaint is done on a door etc, it will show up as different color over time. This usually happens to all colors except white and silver
- These colors cost more than plain white and silver
- Difficult to maintain over time - color fading, dust, etc. make it look bad over time..
