2001 Toyota Altis G review from Indonesia
"Toyota always succesfully maintain its presence"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I did not checked thoroughly when I bought this second hand car in 2003.
Some components needed to be changed at the time when I bought it:
- Fan belt
- Air and fuel filter
The air conditioning was not really cold also, so I brought it to local mechanic and changed the dryer and cleaned all the components.
General comments?
This car is quite big compared to the previous Corolla model and equipped with a newly designed 1.8L engine. My Altis engine is not the most sophisticated as in 2004, Toyota introduced Altis with VVTi engine.
The car is very comfortable and its power is big. I like to use it in highways to test its maximum speed.
When it was first introduced here in the late 2000, the model looks unattractive, its height compared to its width seems not proportional, but gradually I like the model although it is still big for me.
