Over priced car...

This car handling is very good, especially when go over bumps and uneven road. Overall have no regrets buying this car.

Congratulations ! How long have you own this car ?

wonder how's the sale of this car vs previous gen. hardly see this new model. so far counted less than 5 on the road.

I'm going to get my car too, loan just approved

this car vs civic.. which is better? now both is almost comparable in terms of price...

About 2 months from now. I got the pearl white G specs. The only thing i don't like is the automatic head light. I still prefer the conventional type when i can switch to auto or manual on/off the light. Now only have automatic on/off lights. So sometimes when go over toll booth, then it light up, and light off just after toll booth. Don't know how long my LED light can withstand with this keep on/off.

It has a very rigid chassis and double wishbone rear suspension. How you find the comfort and handling ? Can share what leads up to your decision to get this car than others ?

The look is good. CBU unit. Double wishbone seems convincing. I drove honda civic last time, comparing to this car, handling is as good as civic due to its low CG. The Toyota Safety Sense is good as well, i try the dynamic auto cruise, this car will slow down when sensing the front car suddenly slow down.

Cheers

Hi!, anyone know where to buy toyota car player? Service center say they do not sell

Don't worry.
I have the ZRE173 version with 160k km.
LED still works fine.

Thinking of getting this car. Any good offer in Penang?

Hey guys, as this car is at the moment quite rarely seen on the road, I'm curious about one thing.

I was told by a Sales Advisor that it takes up to 2 months+ to get the car.

Quite contradicting, are they really low on stock because there are so many buyers queuing or the SA is trying to sell the old units (ugly infotainment head units)?

Coz a week after the booking, SA told me, if I want quick, there's a RM3000 discount (because of the ugly head unit) and I can get the car much faster.

So is this a sales trick or for some reason, everyone who bought the car also had to wait 2-3 months (since UMW announced about the new head unit upgrade)?

Thanks for the SST SST SST rebate under Covid 19 stimulus package. Discount percentage is vary in depending on car prices.

Many potential car owners are waiting 2 - 3 months after paid booking .. Not only Toyota car, you name any automotive brand, walk into any showroom, ask few questions, pretend to be a car buyer and you will get the same waiting periods..

Agreed! last week the salesman told me if i want buy, they need to check for stock. If no stock maybe will need to wait till next year due to SST rebate for next year yet to confirm.

if stop go traffic like traffic jam can work ka? find this car not much user compare to civic.. does malaysia model comes with HUD?

they still clearing the old infotainment head units?

thinking of getting this car
just wanted a comfortable car
the black one looks nice

wow this car really no owner in malaysia ka..

Just got mine last weekend. Really loving the handling and suspension so far, really comfortable drive. Some things I'm not too happy about with the car:

- Keyless entry is only from driver's side. For me, I have a child to put/take out in the back seat on the left side, so I always have to lock/unlock using the key instead of keyless.
- Apple Carplay is only using cable, no wireless. Adding to that, the placement of the USB slot makes the cable interfere with my left hand while I drive.
- The door angle opening is not as wide as a Honda. This makes putting/taking out a child from a car seat a bit tight.
- Fuel consumption so far for city driving is 11-12 km/l on Eco mode. Don't know what other users are getting but I feel like this is pretty low compared to my wife's City.
- Sound system is so-so only.

How is the nvh bro? Seems like not a convenient family car but i dont think alot car got all door keyless..

The car responses very well to all the road undulations, so vibration is non-existent and the ride is smooth, I would say more comfortable than a Civic. But the noise from outside is a bit loud compared to other cars I've driven but nothing too serious. After a few days, got used to it already.

About the keyless, I'm just comparing it to a Honda which has both front doors keyless, so you can lock/unlock from either side.

I guess there's no perfect car out there. If I were to have bought a Civic, I'd probably complain about other things. I just hope the Corolla is a reliable car

Ah i see, i tot corrolla is very muted the nvh the previous gen. Yeah honda jazz also have front passenger side, i understand so actually dont need all door but at least both side should have keyless.

Dont worry corrolla is very reliable because the engine hasnt change for 10yrs i think lol. Only interior change but i see this gen looks much better than last gen. My surprise ia that the handling and suspension is good. I will go test drive. Really sad to see no fanbase here in msia for this car.

It's quite a head turner especially with the lights on and not many on the road, so people keep looking to see what car I'm driving

It's the rear double wishbone suspension that makes the handling and suspension superb.

Yeah, quite sad that this thread is dead. Lots of Civic users on this forum. Try going on Facebook group "Altis Club Malaysia",it's quite lively but not a lot of Gen 12 users there.

DELETED.

Is it really that no stock available for toyota corolla now?

last i heard from SA a few months ago, seems true for the top spec with updated bigger HU. I guess UMW under estimated the demand (unexpected tax free incentives?) and didn't secure enough units from thai this year. Not sure if they manage to get more to come in this year.
but still there is so little on the road, hardly see any....

I see, but some SA said no stock, some SA said can get in Dec..this is confusing
Agree with you, i hardly see any new corolla on the road........

no fanbase is because of the price I guess.. it seems on the higher side with old engine, a lot people opt for civic becuz of the turbo engine.

Anyone here changed from old batch Infotainment screen to newer one?

DRCC works for stop and go, just that it leaves too big of a gap with the car in front for our malaysian traffic that people will cucuk in and then the system will brake hard... We don't get HUD unfortunately

It's very annoying that there is no sensor on the passenger door, but on the bright side, at least you can unlock all doors from the driver's door handle when 2-stage unlocking is enabled instead of needing to use the key or the unlock button inside the car when you have other passengers

I get around 10-11km/L on short, jam PJ city driving and around 18km/L on highway driving.

The sound system on mine sounds great, but mine is the old JVCKenwood unit

Were u considering Mazda 3 before you bought Altis ? If yes, what’s make you decide to go with Altis ?

deposit paid, loan granted.

waiting for 2 weeks already, still no deliver date.

i was.

160K+ vs 130K+
combined all the review globally.

+ I am more a practical car user myself
- not need for speed type

+ fav comfortability over performance

New Corolla interior luxuryness is way way better than Honda ( craftmanship )
and on par with Madza 3.

exterior, for me is a Match. between Madza 3 and Corolla.
both are better than Civic.

Nothing justified the extra 30K for madza.
the low tier madza 3 is crap without all the semi autonomous function.

Yes I considered the Mazda 3, but then it was out of my budget.

in another word, if budget is not a concern, you'll go with Mazda 3?

Oh for sure. Design wise exterior and interior far superior to Civic or Altis. Driving experience I would say equal to Altis. It comes with 6 years free service too. Too bad it's like RM1.7k/month for a C-segment car.

From the Altis Gen 12 Facebook group, some are still waiting from September. Didn't your SA tell you when you can get the car before you booked? I bought from SA that can give me highest rebate and quickest delivery.

1.7 is based on 60 or 84 months loan?

RM1.7k is based on 108mths. Close to RM2k for 84mths.

I am waiting from end of August until now.
My loan will be expired by the end of November. XD
SA told me I can get my car this month , but I really wonder

what color u choose?

Metallic silver.
But now feel like pearl white is nicer

Hi owners,
Does Toyota offer free service for first few years?
and how long is the warranty period?

The TNGA platform and full suite of TSS are very tempting.
thanks

Does anyone knows when umw would start prouduction of tnga altis locally? it has been quite a while since camry came to the market and its still cbu.

don't think it ever will. Altis has been cbu from thai for many years. only Vios is local assembled.

But next generation vios will be based on tnga platform. And now perodua has also started their dnga production. Wonder what took so long for umw to setup their tnga locally.

The next TNGA CKD in Msia most likely Corolla Cross.
Manufacturers are focusing on SUV and crossover CKD than C-segment sedan.

Corolla Altis has been CBU from Thailand even during the previous generation. C-segment is a dying breed in Msia and Civic is dominating the market. There will be little business case to CKD the sedan. SUV is a better bet

The reason why civic is killing it is because of the price point which is due to the fact its ckd.

No doubt about that..

Any ongoing promotion for corolla altis?

This is a good handling car, but because of X70 and civic price, it is underrated?

Any good offer now?

Got 12k offer for 2019 e spec at puchong branch..

stocks for 2020 is sold out for most of the branches that i known .
2021 stocks the fastest will be available after cny 2021

hopefully the TNGA CKD Corolla Cross will be launched next year, can't wait for it

who able to disable vsc completely. not just by button

how is the NVH for Corolla?

Hi,

Saw 2019 E Spec ( white ) at Mudah with selling price 112K.
Asked for bit discount, but SA says already gave big discount.

Can share your purchase price ? I intent to get one too.

Thanks

hopefully after ckd the price will be lower for Corolla Cross

ok

Anyone got their new Corolla recently? can share the experience?
seems like not very common, not seeing much on the road

Collected mine 2 weeks ago. Overall a very comfy and family car with all the right safety feature. Control panel with minimal design to ease accessing while driving. The large 7" Multi-information display which comes with Apple Car and Android Auto is easy to use. Only downside is not much compartment available especially card slot at dashboard.

Overall a car worth paying.

From an Altis owner since 2010.

This post has been edited by ooice: Mar 11 2021, 06:40 PM

this is because of pricing.
personally i feel even same engine & transmission
after tuning by toyota , overall respone is better then previous .
if you are from klang valley , can contact me for a test drive
feel it instead of listen to other

Thanks for sharing the experience.
It must be giving you very good impression hence you have been choosing it since 2010.

Thanks for sharing the opinion.

Do u find the car to be too low with te new TNGA?

Compared to the previous generation, yes, it's lower, but not as low as Civic. Nonetheless, the seat can be adjusted to be higher thru the automated seat control switch. This is for driver seat only.

This thread seems quiet, maybe not many owners..

More on fb group..

got the group link?

Btw.. is there any common problem that the new altis face?

Any promotion of Altis G spec? Hear from friend that need to wait two to three months after booking, everyone rushing for SST waive.

Mine booking on early Jan, car collected on end Feb.

No special promotion when I booked in Jan.

Thanks for your reply.
I think i need to go to showroom today and have a test drive, wanna to get it before the SST waive period end.

Any updates on your test drive?

How much rebates are they giving now? And how long waiting period?

I done the test drive last Thursday. SA deducted 1.5K and expected delivery date is mid/end of June.
SA said if cannot get the car by June.......UMW may come out with other "rebate"....just guessing.

1.5 k rebates only, not that much

delivery in mid/end june is gonna cut it very close. haih

I saw ad from mudah.com.my, the price is much lower but only at KL.
Due to CMCO, I can't cross state to KL.

Overall, this car is really comfort drive, simple and nice.

which branch of dealer showroom did you go to?

I went to Jelutong road SD Tama branch.

Heard that it is long queue now to wait for the car..

I got mine after 3 weeks. Toyota Manjung able to reserve a car for end of March delivery.

Nizam, Seri Manjung.

Congratulation！
I think every showroom get their own quota from UMW.
I heard from my friend at KL, he only managed to book low spec for Altis.

Congrats..Nice car!

How come the front grill and front side grills are not chrome but black in color? pasted these with black stickers?

Yes, wrap with black sticker...
