2008 Toyota Altis review from Indonesia
"It's a great but boring modern sedan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far the car doesn't have a problem thanks to Toyota's durability. But there are things that disappoint me.
Here are the things that disappoint me :
- Bad handling.
- Suspension's too soft, decreasing stability and control at high speed.
- Big body roll factors.
- Engine is noisy.
- Not comfortable for passengers that sit in the second row.
- Bumpy.
- When it drives on road with bad conditions, it felt like the rear wheels are kicking up.
- Air temperature at second row is too cold and sometimes too hot.
- Boring interior.
- Seats are not supporting and position is bad.
General comments?
What I like about the car :
- Attracting exterior looks.
- Great durability and quality.
- Good performance.
- Great fuel consumption.
- Great standard features.
It's a great car, but not comfortable or fun to drive.
