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.  thumbup.gif  thumbup.gif

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.

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  smile.gif

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.

as i heard civic steering becos of electric power steering driven by separate motor not enjin belt. so it detect overheat under some condition.
need to know this reason.

dont just look at numbers
actual drives is depend gearbox setup since torque can by multiply ratio
what is better than nimh i didnt catch up news
ori dashcam? i only think of cabut accessory fuse box

Li-ion at least la bro sweat.gif NiMH slow charging, battery capacity and energy density is abysmal compare to li-ion. summore it is heavy. shit ancient technology batt.

Difference between the instant torque we get from motor vs the time take ICU to rev up to the peak torque ?
Maybe have to test drive it or look at the 0-100km/h data

like New Honda City Hybrid , 9.9 seconds to 100km/h for a light sedan is a bit different from other sedan with similar torque
Li-ion seems to be more sexy yeah, but something higher in cost and cost higher to have the surrounding set up in car to baby sit the energy intensive cell.
Also, Toyota seems to have totally different approach on reducing carbon emission where they opt for enhancing existing ICU technology, like hydrogen and hybrid tech. Tat different from full EV from their European and Chinese counterparts.

Seems like only time will tell who would be the mainstream in future, 5, 10, 30, 60, 100 years down the road, leave it to our children  biggrin.gif

yeah. now is like a fork road for renewable energy path, especially for cars. Some company banking in on Hydrogen (Big oil like Shell), some banking in on full electric. I kinda buy hydrogen more because it is more like ICE approach, dealing with battery waste is another nightmare that we do not want to have. imagine our children have to live with land fill with battery waste and maybe no more plants on ground due to toxic ground thanks to all the batt waste at landfill.

anyway for malaysian i believe 10-20years down the road, ICE still prevalent on the road lol. full EV is too niche in the market, and not for the masses, not unless the cost is sub-100k for EV.
