Excellent car for the money; very reliable and great on gas mileage
Loud whistling noise coming from front windshield area.
Excellent car otherwise.
Great gas mileage. I drive a little over 80 miles per day and only have to fill up once a week.
I would buy this car again.

Magnificent
Nothing so far its PERFECT.
This car has definitely surpassed my expectations. It is quite peppy and excellent on gas. Everything is laid out nicely in the car and well I think that Toyota has just earned a new lifetime member to their club, as I also have a 1984 Tercel that is testing new limits and going strong. With two cars that are more reliable than all previous cars put together (FORD, SATURN, CHEV AND JEEP) I think its safe to say I am now a Toyota MAN.

'Toyota has just earned a new lifetime member to their club'.
After 283kms. As it is a Toyota, it isn't likely to go too wrong, but a bit early for a comment like that.
Considering that I have to tailgate a Lexus to make sure it's not a Mercedes. Considering that a Corolla is a derivative of an 84 Jetta. Considering that an 84 Cherokee set a standard for modern SUV. Considering that japanese motorcycles can reproduce style, but not feeling, I do considered that authenticity is lacking in a Corolla. Budget is the key, a price has to be paid...
Very comfortable, very reliable, great car
Basically nothing! This has been a great car. The only things that I have had problems with are:
The button that tells if the passenger air bad is on/off...well its not a button.. and I tried pushing it and pushed it into the dash. This was fixed with a shop vac, it sucked back out and clicked into place. Also, the brakes have worn fairly quickly, I'm already getting the pads replaced at 7900 miles. Probably my breaking, and the fact that it is almost all city mileage.
This car is much better than I had expected out of an economy car. The interior, while not luxury looking, is extremely comfortable, in city driving, and especially on long trips, almost to the point of making you fall asleep (which I've almost done on several occasions.) It is also very very quiet, very low road noise, very very smooth ride.
Gas mileage is good, but somewhat confusing. For example, recently I wanted to test my gas mileage in city driving with a/c on. I got 175 out of the first half tank, 75 out of the second half. Overall city mileage, even without a/c, is OK. 26-28. Highway, however, amazing. My ex girlfriend lived about 40 minutes away, and I would drive to see her a couple times a week. During that time, I got around 380-400 miles per tank. Highway driving, this car is awesome! And with only 11 gallons of gas, you do the math.

I owned an Altis 1.8G over 6 months back. I quite agree on the above-stated comments. Altis is indeed an excellent car. I like the interior design, very classy looking. Its pickup on the highway is better than what you expect. It feels like driving a Japanese-BMW, very comfortable. I used to drive long distance from Penang to Malacca, non-stop. I never felt tired at all. It is really amazing! This is what you paid for, really! My top speed on the highway reaches 200km/hour.
My car's mileage is 13,000km and the brake pads are still in good condition.
The Toyota service center charged me about RM160 for every service. This is very reasonable.
The fuel consumption for full tank is close to 450km, highway driving. This is even better than my old Wira 1.5L.
If we would compare Hyundai Sonata, the technical features are quite similar. Things like ECT, TRC, Airbag, ABS, VSC. However, I believe Altis has a much better fuel consumption than Sonata due to its lighter weight and a more refined fuel combustion.
Lastly, I like Altis due to its appearance. The stylish look that never fades away over the years. I am even betting that the new Corolla (expected to be released in 2008) may not look good as Altis.
Not sure why you're talking about a Jeep on a Corolla site.
However, it sounds to me like your Jeep has been amazingly reliable. 40 oil changes? So what that's just regular maintenance.
Yeah, somebody who complains about changing spark plugs after 210,000 kms will never be satisfied with any vehicle. He's giving it a glowing testimonial even if he doesn't realize it.
Sounds about right look at his high mileage... I wouldn't let my oil changes go. I change my oil and filter every 3,000 miles or 4 months. Its expensive when you have a sludge issue on an import.
