Best buy for money and have all the features that you wish your car should have. It is a little pricey though but the current devaluation of PAK currency against Dollar is a big factor of it that is just understandable. Let me share some quick in-sights about New Corolla Altis 2011-12. I am sure it will help other potential buyers to have a detail review before actually making their minds to purchase it.

Economy Drive
--------------------

To me the most promising thing is the economy and mileage of new Altis. I have recorded more than 15.8KMs/L mileage so far which is just awesome for a 1.6L car.

//Please note that I have not installed CNG in my car so have no information about the mileage and acceleration on CNG. All the ratings and mileage I have shared above is recorded on petrol driving

6 Forward Gears and Driving Experience at High Speeds
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you know that new Altis M/T comes with 6 forward gears and the reverse gears is applied in the upward direction (left-top) where 1st forward gear is applied. The 6th gear is a great addition, i must say because when you are driving at ~100 speed and apply the 6th gear. Your cars comes to ease and the loudness of engine settles down. The car becomes light to give you a peaceful and comfortable driving experience even at higher speeds.

Improved Braking System
-----------------------------------

The breaking system with ABS is another good factor to discuss which is lot more improved than previous shaped Corollas.

Pick and Acceleration
-----------------------------

Acceleration is also great and your car picks up speed accordingly as you press the pedal. This is my first move from a 1.3L car to a big engine and I have felt a lot of difference is pace, speed, drive and handling of this new Altis which performs great in all of these aspects.

Move your Car Gently, Anywhere
-------------------------------------------

The EPS (Electronic Power Steering) is a MUST HAVE feature to be discussed. The steering wheel is so light and works like a breeze. It asks just a finger note to turn/move your car.

Interior Quality
-------------------

Overall, the interior quality is just above average and should have been improved. This is what a genuine buyer must think when he buys a new Corolla. The interior is a little hard and the leg room on driver side needs to be a little more widen to keep your legs rested in ease, especially on long journeys.

Final Verdict
-----------------

Finally, Corolla Altis is a great buy, comfortable and offers great features that othr competitors like Honda are offering at a high price, comparatively!

Loving my Corolla Altis M/T

I've been driving/travelling in an APV for almost 4 years now. (in fact i learned driving using this vehicle! )

Firstly lets get to the basics, the Price. Currently its a bit overpriced. Though i would still go for it as a family 7-seater over any jeep/vehicle in this price range.

Comfort: To be honest for an imported vehicle its not the most comfortable car. Though i have seen worse, much better than many Pakistani cars/vans. (and it has LOTS of SPACE! ) that's all that matters, i guess..

Consumption: On CNG its fairly cheap. Specially on long drives. On petrol its a bit expensive cause of the extra power due to the weight. But i'd prefer driving it on petrol all the time as its totally at a different comfort level on petrol! (though i don't pay for either, so i guess my opinion doesn't matter. My dad pays and he says its good on CNG :P )

Now to the other things that matter,

Power: it has lots of power! the 1.5L engine is just about the right size for this vehicle.

Safety: Here is where the APV looses most of its points. It has NO ABS! That really is the worst part. NO AIRBAGS! The tires, play an important role in keeping the car stable. if you change them to bigger ones, you might increase the comfort but decrease the stability! its fairly stable, as a teenager like me hasn't killed himself yet, using the vehicle. So its stable till that extent. Though after a few years it will be very risky to drive it over 120 km/h on the Motorway or anywhere for that matter, as it wobbles, and feels very unsafe.

Practicality: It is the best car in this section. It has LOTS of space for ANY type of luggage.. Though the CNG cylinder does take a bit of space in the back, there is still room to put two big bags behind the rear seats. You can easily fit 10 people in it. Though the people at the back will be a bit squeezed. Add one of those roofs to it and your luggage problem for these ten people is solved. (if each person has a bag )

Overall, it is one of the best Cars/Vans i've seen in Pakistan. And in this price range any other vehicle of it's type can not compete with it.

Though if you can manage the cost of fuel, i'd suggest getting a Prado or Pajero.. As they are more fun to drive and has way more power plus comfort. Only problem would be they'd be old and the APV would be brand new.

Sir, in that case and according PAMA Suzuki Mehran has a sale of 14,134 units and while Dahatsu cuore sold only 1728 units. So according to your equation what mehran would be a better car then cuore wouldn't it be? You don't compare cars from their selling ratio. You compare them from their performance, value for money and services given in them. Now why toyota has more sales. Look first of all I don't think that anybody rational would say that Liana is better than corrolla that's a fact whether anybody admits it or not. And selling of more units is because of having the great reselling price and most of all the durability this car is offering, no other car even honda is giving it to its users. Great shocks with good life of engine even in rural areas. That's why its competing. If you look for value of money, meaning the price you are paying for the services you are getting, Sir you have to admit that Liana will get more rating. 1.2 M and it gives you everything that 1.4 M Xli doesn't give and 1.55 M Gli do gives you with an additinal abs, Thats it.

i bought this car zero meter in December 2007. since then i have not any major problem with this car. XLI and GLI are still crap infront of my liana .. because it's powerful doch engine which is 300cc more powerful then these craps corolla , which are quite expensive.

am using it on cng .. pple are asking of missing and other problems with cng . Trust me am using it with cng for four years. not a singal porblum i face and also there is not atall any lack of pick up .
I sort out that pple are facing problems with cng are only who are using 1.3 . and 1.6 is discontinued ..
I feel lucky and proud for my right decision.

I purchased 0 meter liana in 2008 and have driven almost more then 100000 kms. Its a good car no doubt but it has many flaws. It do has a missing problem. You do have to press race on it before leaving the clutch meaning it needs proper combustion in its engine before you let the clutch go. its a car which gives you great pleasure while accelerating but stops your heart when it comes to brake. Suzuki should think about brakes even their abs system ain't very good, i don't have it but I do have reviews of many who have liana with abs. I was reading a review that missing problem on low gears in cng is pretty much high and he did alot to get out of it but nothing worked. I also experienced it, as I said it does that but there is a point it starts doing it in a very intolerable manner. The problem is with the coils. change them and you will find a huge difference in it. But original coils are very expensive. A set of those is more then Rs 20,000. A korean manufactured coils taken from a reliable source would be a better choice.

the prices are not same...feel the difference...
xli=1424000,gli=1554000,========= (130000)exact price diff
both have same 1.3 VVTI Engine but the differnce lies with specz i.e
gli has abs braking system xli dont(important feature)
gli have 8 different colorzz(White, Black, Strong Blue Met, Gun Met, Flexen Mica, Shemmiring Green, Silver and Medium Silver, Olive Green.)
xli have just black and white(dependz on person choice)
gli have power windows xli manual windows(shashka)
gli power side mirrors xli dont have (shashka)
gli matchng power mirors xli dont (shashka)
