In the first place, what are you looking to compare? Do you know what you want?
Good day!
With all the reviews I have read, I am now confused which car should I buy, whether a Toyota Altis 1.6G AT, a toyota altis 1.8E AT, or a Honda Civic 1.8S AT.
I have read a comment that an Altis 1.6G is under power which I may regret for life! On the other hand, I have read good reviews for the Altis 1.8G, but I cannot afford it, its too expensive, while the 8th gen Honda 1.8S AT has some problems with the gear shift and damage-like board panel.
The three car models I mentioned above are in prices within my budget, but which one should I buy. I prefer cars with efficient fuel economy, safety, comfort and power. As of now, I prefer the altis 1.6G because, of its lesser fuel displacement.
I appreciate it very much if you could help me decide which car is the right for me. my budget should not be more than P900,000.00 (Philippine peso)
Altis 1.8E = P868K
Altis 1.6G = P843K
Civic 1.8S = P867K.
Thanks.
My recommendation to you is to choose Altis 1.8. Fuel consumption is more superior than 1.6 version. Pls take note that higher capacity does not mean that it consumes more fuel. The maintenance cost for Toyota is much lower than Honda. Toyota car stands up to be the most reliable car on the road. The number of accidents are far cry lower than any of its competitors.
My Altis 1.6E is a month old, comparing to other makes in this range its really stylish. It really glides along the highway, but fuel consumption is high, 10Km/L and the heat radiated to the right side hood is really high (very hot) even after a night drive. Noise insulation inside cabin not good enough. Its rather uncomfortable when rolling over small humps and potholes. Goodyear Eagle 5 is rather noisy. Any counter suggestion please.
My wife just bought Altis 1.8L and for sure as a husband, I did try, Overall performance such as power (with or without ECT) acceptable, comfortable, fuel consumption OK and etc. Anyway I found out that at >160km, I feel like I'am flying. Any suggestion to make it better?
I am planning to buy toyota altis. but It is only recently that I have found out the difference between Its types. I was planning to buy an Altis for P723.000 I think it's an ALtis 1.6.
Is it really that bad? what should I get? an ALtis? or A Civic? please give me an idea on which car would best give me the value for my money?
I am really new at cars. this is the first time I will own one.
Go for the 1.8 altis, you won't go wrong. vvt-i engine fast yet economical, interior is superb with dual airbags, optitron gauges, automatic climate control air conditioning, the gate type shifter with chrome accent on the other side, the stereo sucks, can't read most cd's so I changed to pioneer mp3, cornering is not good so I placed a TOM'S strut tower bar. Goodyear NCT 5 sucks replaced it with Michelin XM1 energy no noise yet grip and handling is superb. shock absorbers are inferior, but was able to change them before the warranty expired, I think Toyota improved the shocks and my ride is smooth as silk now.
I bought an Altis 1.6E 2 months ago and I experienced knocking during an uphill drive. The Toyota guy told me to change the fuel to a higher octane level than unleaded fuel. I did change and the power really increased... however, the fuel consumption also increased.
Cornering is not good either. Most of my friends who have tried driving my car tell me that they feel like floating w/c I also felt during the first time I drove the car out of Toyota Casa. Anyway, I still like the looks of it because its brand new.
The highest speed I travelled so far is 120 km/hr. I wanted to try 140 km/hr, but I'm afraid because the engine starts to build noise around 120 km/hr. Is this normal? Can 1.6E reach 160 km/hr too?
I've noticed that the Philippines version of Altis 1.8G has 145 hp compared to Malaysian version having only 136 hp. How can that be? Just how lucky you guys in Philippine. wish I can have that too. Is it a different kind of engine. I thought it is the same 1ZZFE engine isn't it?
You already saying which car you want. Comfort, safety, and power, obviously it goes to the Toyota Altis 1.6 or 1.8. If you want sporty, young then go for the Civic, but I think both cars have equal power, or the Altis is more powerful than the Civic.
As for the Sentra; don't even think about it.
Dude the one with the engine knocking sound. Did your car change when you shifted to high octane? Mine didn't.
I m planning to buy an Altis 1.8cc although I knew that a new model is coming out sometimes next year. Reason is because the current model design is still the best compared to the coming one. Going to book it this coming weekend with my gf and the discount now is rm8k from 113k. By the way, I m 30 yr old. Do you think 30 is just right time to drive Altis?
I have decided that I am getting a new car to replace my old 1.5GL Wira. However, I have been having a lot of confusion deciding on what car to get...
My facts and feelings:-
Altis 2007 1.6E
i) It is now about RM96K
ii) With Full Accessories
iii) Good Interest of about 2.38%pa
iv) May be under power
v) Cannot afford the new 1.8G version.
2nd Hand Altis 1.8G
i) It is about RM85K
ii) Standard Accessories
iii) Unsure about the interest rate
iv) Unsure about condition.
I really have decided that a TOYOTA is what I want. But I am really troubled and confused with the three options mentioned as to which one really is the correct choice for me.
Any advise/ recommendation is really much required..
I change to a 2005 altis 1,8g last 2 mths. Previously driving a honda city idisi. Got to bid farewell as the gearbox giving trouble. I found that the suspension on altis is somehow not as what I expected for a car of this range, The honda city are kind of much smooth in its suspension. I tried changing the tyres, not much help. maybe I should change the absorber too.
My Altis 05 1.8g a/t is an excellent car for me. I'm a car dealer; I've tried and tested most new model cars 1.3- 2.0cc.
The Altis is the best; 11km city - 15km hi-way consumption, suspension is very good, power is superb!
