This is a review of Toyota Altis 1.8l Cruisetronic SR that I own for the past 4 months. Coming from a Honda background, I must say I was pleasantly surprised by the solid feel of the car, its dampened suspension, ride comfort, acceleration and engine power (I took it to Pir Sohawa without any issues whatsoever), the ability to manually shift gears when in the mood, cruise control option on highway etc. Also NOTE that it would have a better RESALE value than Honda in Pakistani market.

What I didn't like was the absence of fifth gear due to which I noticed that the rpm reached 3,000 around 120 kmph. I think with the fifth gear the fuel economy in long distance would get better. Anyways, I have a detailed analysis of its fuel consumption here if you want to see: http://www.pakwheels.com/forums/member-opinions-suggestions/144670-fuel-mileage-toyata-altis-cruisetronic-2010-a

I believe the car gives much better fuel mileage than Honda Civic VTI Oriel Prosmatic in city or on long distance. I also wish the car had dual airbags (the passenger side is missing).

Anyways, I would highly recommend the car to anyone interested in buying it.

IN MY REVIEW, I will Discuss about toyota corolla XLI and ITS RESALE.
We all Think that toyota corolla XLI is Much more expensive than it is. This is not the reason at all. We all know that this car has much better resale value than any other SEDANS e.g CITY, CIVIC etc. It is for some reason that it is expensive than CITY. Although this car doesn't offer Power Windows, ABS etc...... but this car is much attractive due to its resale value.
The question here arises that Why has SUZUKI Mehran THE MOST RESALE VALUE among all cars of Pakistan. The reason that it is A much affordable car with CHEAP MAINTENANCE. As the price of this cars in 2011 has been increased, Its resale value has gone at a very low rate. But we can see many 2008-2009 MEHRANS IN THE ROADS.
NOW I SHALL COME TO THE TOPIC. HONDA CITY IS A much smaller car than XLI and IT HAS ONLY FRONT DISC BRAKES WHILE XLI OFFERS 4 WHEEL DISC BRAKES ALTHOUGH IT DOESN'T OFFER ABS.The SHAPE OF COROLLA IS VERY ATTRACTIVE AS THE FRONT AND THE SIDES ARE MADE JUST SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FROM CAMRY.
THE LAST THING IS THE DRIVE AND MAINTENANCE. THe Drive OF BOTH ARE ALMOST EQUAL and the maintenance of corolla is far much cheap than CITY.
IF I HAD TO SELECT BETWEEN THESE TWO, I WOULD DEFINITELY GO WITH COROLLA BCZ

COROLLA ROKZZZZZ!

This car has all the features, it offers power windows, mirrors, ABS, alloy rims at a bargain. The drive is a little rough for Pakistani roads, but once you are on smooth asphalt, you can definitely feel it's handling capability at high speeds. I bought this car about 6 months back, and loving it so far. Very sporty feel, but a little crammed for a large family of 5. If you are looking for a car that has all the power features and easy to maintain, this is the car to get. The biggest downside of this car, is that it is a hatchback, which means you can't fit all your luggage in the back.

A year ago, when i left my bank job, i had to retrun the bank provided corolla (GLi 2008 model) back to the bank. At that time i was not much aware about the prices of used car but i was shocked to learn that a used 1000cc car like cultus and vitz is selling at a price range of 700k to 1100k. While all the bigger cars were kind of out of my budget and affordibility. Still I wanted a bigger car and classy car and optra 2005 got all one expects in a car of class. It comes with full option that even reborn or all new corolla failed to offer till now and that too at a price of a cultus. I have been a proud owner of the car now for more than a year and love to drive the car, especially on motorway where the beast like engine of the car gets a chance to flex its muscles. The airconditioning is supberb and the climate control keeps the inside of the car comfortable, while the cool box keeps the water, drinks and chocolates cool during the long journeys. The driving seat has the legs and lumber support keeping the long drives pleasureable and tireless. The spares of the car are easily available in Lahore from Montgomery Road and Chevy Platinum Motors at a very reasonable price (parts are cheaper than vitz and new swift). A good well maintained used optra is available at a price range of 850K to 950k, which according to me is the best value for money. The only problem with the car is that there are no service centers or spare parts availability in smaller cities. I strongly recommend the car to people who want to drive bigger car at a price of a cultus.

I ve had my ride for about 8 months now. i shifted from a Cuore, so i had a genuine learning experince first few months.

All in all, City is an excellent car.

Body&interior:
It is shaped beautifully, and the interior is awesome as well. In fact, the car is very roomy when you sit inside. The Dashboard is highquality and well laid out with dual glove compartments adding to the benifit.
The seats are comfortable (atleast to me) and the car has ample bootspace (even with CNG).

Engine/Mechanics:
The car is very smooth and feels powerful enough in city driving (never drove on a highway yet). The best part about this car is its milage rate and the Air Conditoner. The car is a dream to drive, both on CNG and Petrol, and summers are enjoyable with the level of cooling it provides. The braking and accelration is good as well

All in All, it is a goood car for city driving by a small family.

The cons, that i have felt are below: (in my humble opinion. please dont start a honda vs toyota fight)

1) The engine bay is a bit cramped and low on space. especially if you get CNG installed, you ll have a bit of trouble in changing the light bulbs.

2) being a honda, i dont really like its suspension. It is superb, but only as long as you drive on good paved roads. It deteriotes faster than a corolla if driven on rough roads. Plus, its suspension works are costlier to maintain.

3) The Lights, in my car, its always one bulb or the other that is going out in teh headlights. i have 3 mates with the same car and we all have a residen tproblem with our headlights.

4) again, in all 3 cars of this model that i have driven, i have come to not trust the fuel gauge. even 500 rs worth of petrol sends its needle soaring to the middle. i just think its a bit un reliable.

5) the side frame f windscreen deals a serious blow to visibility, especially whole turning on junctions (but you get used to it)

all in all, it is a good car. but i would rather go for a corolla if given the option now, solely because of the suspension as i drive on rought roads a bot.

Hope this helps.

Most of the people runaway from diesel technology these days, yes this is the same car which was most popular among all variants a decade ago. I bought it because the route I travel doesnt have CNG or Patrol and among diesel Corrola is the best option.

Its very economical, and control is under your right feet, if you manage to maintain on 2000rpm, your trip average will be 19-20KM/Ltr. Apart from economy it has Driver Airbag and ABS which is another+ over the patrol variants in the same price range. Corrola is the only car made for Pakistani bumpy roads, no other car performs like her on such roads. I highly recommend this car to wheelers who have mileage excessive of 4000KM/Month

i own this car since 10 feb 2005 and mine is a 2002 model offcourse it had problems and still every month something breaks down
as my car is old its still better build engine is japnese sulf radiator is japnese and i my self installed many things to make it After market car so its a bit better then new ones
i recently drove a new mehran which costed the owner nearly 600K and its nothing but a tin can with an engine shody build quality and many factory faults even wiene from the gear box
rather then buying this tin can save ur money and buy a old civic or corolla or evan baleno in that money
i hate it Extermly over priced and no comfort what so ever
