mainly tyre noise at 110km/h and wind noise (but reduce a lot after i removed the door visor). mine came with yokohama e70 tyres. have to look for quieter tyres after the tyres wear out

Bro, thks for sahring. You upgraded from previous version to new FL? I watch few taiwan youtube reviews said its suspension is further tweaked in new one.

PS: I still in 20 pages + in this thread to read as much info as possible..

After see the numerous problem of Honda Civic, 2017 Altis might be a good buy, I am a Honda owner but their quality of interior and spare parts just below par. Space definitely altis will be better if you talk about comfortable, even tho front passenger seat I can't find my comfortable spot due to the leg room, I can't put my leg comfortable due to the deaign of the seating floor and im 178cm. This year altis 2017 you can really consider , if talk about previous gen straight other car. That's my two cents. With this range altis vs mazda 3 vs honda civic

1. Toyota Altis 2017 = Family car most important is comfortable of seat especially cabin. Safety feature is a plus. Finally toyota aware of it. But everyone only blame UMW, actually Taiwan is the same, their previous model same as Malaysia too. Maybe Toyota marketing startegy?

2. Honda Civic 2016 = Cabin seat leg room quite outstanding due to the design, but the middle of floor bump almost my one hand height, and the seat cushion I found it too soft, it will comfortable for short jouney but long journey definitely I can guarantee it would found comfortable. But thumbs up with how honda utilize interior just outstanding. I love their cable management tray. Open and close door feel like I need to apply WD-40 on it.. Just terribly bad feeling.

3. Mazda 3 = The look sporty kaw kaw, cabin leg room not enough. But got load confident of skyactive engine, just that malaysia service center not as much as honda and Toyota

If I'm single I will choose btw Honda and Mazda, Family then Altis. I actually compare this 3 cars before choose Altis. The door of Altis no worry, civic and altis door was solid enough. I also reading taiwan review cause I found out taiwan reviewer good in car knowledge. Well detail explained.

Thanks for sharing bro. Wow.. Appreciate!

I hope I can maximise my giving busget. Now looking into both B and C segments hope money well spent on a ideals car.

Toyota was totally out of my list due to its features and look. Only recent trip to Melbourne saw different designs and also saw few current Altis on the road changed my mind. The new facelift was a surprise to me because I never follow its news and it look very similar to what I saw in Melbourne.. so totally unaware of this FL. It seem just right to upgrade all the essential features now and I think new face looking really nice too..Plus leather seats and leg room. Very looking forward to see the actual car. I watched taiwan reviews too. I think you are right.

I got same feel like you on mazda regarding legroom. Civic is oool but the seat seriously too low. Fabric and its very ah beng (my wife's comments lol) hold me and not quite suit my old parent to drive too.

Sylphy was in my list too but 2014 unit not dare to take the risk and can't test drive... I like its look be frank.. Back and dashboard look very classy.

Looking forward to read more new FL users coming in to share their r views..

I have to agree with your ah beng look on honda lol.. After i survey so much, end up i still go with Altis, bring my wife and kids along, they found Altis cabin and seat is the most comfortable and suitable for long distance travelling, and with almost flat floor design which i really into that. You might be can try hyundai or nissan range as well... I choose Toyota Altis because service center everywhere and a reliable car that cause less trouble for my families member. 2017 FL follow european design and i really like the look of it. Bro go test drive urself and share your thought as well.  rclxms.gif

The FL head and logo look more 'head up' to my eye. Nice! Hopefully this coming weekend I can test drive. Always run out of time.. 😆

Finally tested the 1.8G. The interior quality to me is very classy. No photo can really tell this. The dashboard design is very smart to fllaten the top give the visual of huge car. Suspension is strady and quiet. Rear seats both leg and head is roomy. Very responsive throttle. Engine noise to me is low. Seat height is good. View is good too. Also I like the ecom display. Overall I like this new face. Quiet when drive at 100km/h. I like this car.

Very tempting indeed...not cheap this car.
How is its sound system quality in altis?
The cny promotion package now is quite interesting.

Too bad Malaysia didn't want to give two tone dashboards. The all black tone just lesser in term of contrast.

Hey guys,
Do you guys find the wind noise is quite high when going to 110km/hr in high way drive?

This FL model is seriously hardly sell in Malaysia this year. The current offering with all the free accessories is same as Jan 17. One of the SA told me all the gadgets were pre-installed prio to import from Thai to M'sia. This mean current stock is carry forward from Jan till now July and being lay under sun/rain for mths...

Didnt notice windnoise that much
Rain on the top very noisy like zinc roof
Mine is FL model

Why so few FL on the road?
It is expensive compared to M3 and Civic
Imagine a car sold in 2017 without a USB port
Consumers not so bodoh like me
*
Dun say like that la....you will appreciate what it can do after sometime...CVT seem always a bit lag when move from stop.Tested drive both TH cars..this what I feel. tongue.gif

It seem this Altis also got lesser internal noise too.. beside roof raining noise, unknown rattling inside while on the road seem much lesser complaints than another hot brands...
