Saw in news the new altis will have torsion beam instead of double wishbone rear suspension in Taiwan

Anybody had experience with Toyota torsion beam? How’s the ride?

Sucks to see it happening TBH. Mazda 3 torsion beam was already bad.

If torsion beam is indeed coming to malaysia, Honda civic will be the undisputed king in this segment

no wonder my mom prefer to ride on my preve than her honda city...

drive altis not ask u drive like tokyo drift

indeed...she prefers preve for long highway drive, felt stable, sound proofing is better, and prcatically cannot feel those road bumps..

but fuel consumption, honda city wins la 

also coorect lol..my preve already problematic, but still can drive around at high speed...just counting days until it breaks down 

Please la 2023 stop talking about handling or 3 cylinder and all that. Everyone still retarded cannot drive at all. Give ya all multilink or 4 cylinder for what? Ya all still gonna cause accidents. Cannot even pass the 5 star safety BY YOURSELVES since death trap Myvi first existed and wanna talk about better power and better handling. Malu la wei.

Some of you damn funny la. Macam la you can sense the miniscule difference between torsion beam and multi-link. I doubt you can feel the 'underwhelmed' performance of torsion beam in your typical drive, unless you whack corner every single time. It's not about the suspension alone, chassis play an important role in the ride quality department too.

My wife just replaced hers with Cross. Fuck, the ride was surprisingly composed in high speed and cornering. I dare say as good as my old Accord already. Heck, its relatively more pleasant and comfortable (ok la SUV/crossover ma).

Yes torsion beam are found in cheap cars but if sufficient engineering involved, torsion beam can also be tuned as close as multi-link behavior. Large sedan cars can accommodate multi-link cos it takes lots of space so there's a slight compromise between interior space and ride quality for compact/sub-compact segments.
