QUOTE(YnWa77 @ May 25 2017, 09:09 PM) Wow nice. Mind sharing why u opt for 1.8g instead of 2.0v? I'm actually interested on the 2.0v but the sa told me it's not worth taking 2.0v as the price range is almost similar to Camry 2.0e. Test drove the 1.8g yesterday in klang n the pick up was just ok. Further more he say I won't feel more 2.0v is more powerfully than 1.8g if im driving the car alone most of the time unless its full load. At first my preferences was Civic 1.8, but after test drive and research on this civic X, I feel altis will suit me more. Im looking for a decent 100K - 140k car and won't give me much headache and cheap to maintain.Was looking at the civic turbo earlier but I dont quite like it as it's too low for my seating position and I already have 1 civic 8 gen at home. Suspension on the civic is also too firm for my liking Also the sa time me Toyota Service interval is every 5k unless I upgrade the lubricant oil to fully sync? Is that true? This is rather strange as most manufacturer now is 10k svc interval Civic 1.8 Pros: cheaper than Altis 1.8g cool outlook Cons: car is lower than Altis, parent don't like it heard quite number of owner complain about build quality Altis 1.8G Pros: leather seats compare with civic 1.8 CBU!!! FROM THAI fixed a lot of pre-facelift issue such as noise on roottop and weird sound in suspension Cons: power is ok, of course not as good as Civic 1.8 outlook a bit boring but after facelift, i like the front view a alot Altis 2.0v Pros: better frontview LED headlamp, with new running day-light LED Cons: very expensive compare to Civic 1.8 and Altis 1.8G, around 18k+ extra to pay power will not much different than altis 1.8(according to SA) bigger sportrims, which mean tyre also more expensive |

The tyre on 2.0v will caused around RM500/ donut just to change as its using Michelin PS3! Power wise 2.0V is just slightly more power than 1.8g but of coz 2.0 will give you the good feeling but seriously at 138k might as well go for camry right? Correct me if I'm wrong. heheCivic 1.8 Pros: cheaper than Altis 1.8g cool outlook Cons: car is lower than Altis, parent don't like it heard quite number of owner complain about build quality Altis 1.8G Pros: leather seats compare with civic 1.8 CBU!!!

Can't really comment as when i test drove the car it wasn't raining. hehe. So very difficult to comment but it looks solid to me. |

Hi all sifus here, I just bought a new toyota altis 2.0.
I notice that the reverse link mentioned at the brochure seems like not functioning. Any ideas how to activate it? I see at you tube...the mirror really will move down when put to R, but my case it doesn't move when I put to R. Any1 know what's the issue? Thank you. |

Just some comments since I'm having the preFL 2.0V..
Reason i went for it was the TRC n VSC n the 17" ps3 which came std. The ps3 is an excellent wet tyre. Saved me in 2 instances in heavy rain. Seriously.. tyre is one area one should not skimp on. Now that the 1.8 has trc/vsc also i would say the 1.8 is a better deal.. unless u'd like the cosmetic stuff. Btw i thought there is around 7-8k discount from the current list price? Roof sound doesn't seem that bad to me. I've an accord also n would say its only a bit noisier during heavy rain. If one want to reduce the noise.. just slap on a few pieces of the stp deadening material. Big difference trust me. Sounds like they did improve that in FL. The civic is a pretty solid car. Only 2 things i didnt like is the rear design n ride height.. too low for family. Love the front n interior. On the service centre.. i feel uwm service is better than honda. Probably volume related seeing honda has many successful selling models here. Easier to make appointment also on short notice. Handling wise.. altis is average. If u'd like comfort, then go for altis. My accord handles better but is stiffer. I would presume the civic handles even better since its sporty oriented. I think we can't really have it bothways. On C vs D segment car. For non highway drive i prefer the altis.. easier to maneuver especially in narrow carparks. So if u are considering full spec C vs entry D.. do consider the ease of maneuver when its your daily driver. Big not always better =) |

Anyway just to confirm the stock tyre 215/45 R17 is consider as low profile tyre? ps3 is ~rm450-500 depending on location. SA's about right.Easily crack n burst if hit potholes? Sidewall is soft, so rim protection is not so good. Some tyres have stiffer sidewall.. eg RE003s. Yes, low profile. QUOTE(Icehart @ Jun 5 2017, 02:05 AM) Ouch! |

QUOTE(ralfvi @ Jun 5 2017, 12:24 AM) guys is RM 116k otr for 1.8g Depends on service interval. If i recall correctly a FS oil+filter would cost ~rm400.a good price ? btw whats the average price you guys paid for service ? i saw the pricelist @ toyota web. but from my experience the SC have some side item/charges to ketuk you. like engineflush oil , rotate tyre etc Yeah, you gotta know what you are paying for. Not exactly ketuk la.. they give u the option. Just don't blindly follow. Engine flush >> thats good to be done once in a while. Not every oil change. Rotate tyres >> 10k service interval is about right for a balance n rotate. Air refresher >> ~rm50-60.. works pretty good to remove odour. Will have a slight clorox like smell for a day or 2. |
