I have only recently owned an Altis 1.6. I fell in love with it from the time I saw it on the net. It is luxurious, and very comfortable, I think I am the first person in Barbados to have owned one, it did turn quite a few heads, it is practical but different, a joy for us Toyota lovers....

“I own a 1.8G Toyota Corolla Altis (Top of the line)....”
I own a 1.8G Toyota Corolla Altis (Top of the line). Its like owning a luxury car, only smaller- A sunroof, a gate-type AT lever, and wood-trims- found only in luxury cars.
The position of the driver's seat is comfortable, which makes driving easier.
Its powerful- with that ECT set to power, its can speed up with ease to 120kph- it's still quiet even at this high speed.
Good steering- can easily turn in turnpikes and U-turns.
Its fuel consumption is very economic to a car this powerful-...

The Toyota Corolla Altis is a good utility vehicle, but could be improved on the suspension and braking system. At least the one I have here in Pakistan which is locally manufactured does not have a good brake system.
Unfortunately Toyota themsleves take 600USD extra for the perfect recommended system. Why don't they built it into the car ??...

The Toyota Corolla Altis model 2002 is finally a car for the Asian country. If not for the high price in some countries, it would be the best in its class for 2002/2003....

“The corolla altis is overall a great car in it's...”
The corolla altis is overall a great car in it's category. I own a 1.8 altis and for the past five months have clocked 20,000km. As my nature of work requires me to travel around, I get to spend much time in the car and testing it. Overall, I feel the altis can be considered the best car in terms of performance in it's category comparing with other rivals like Civic 1.7 v-tec and Sentra 1.8. Wind noice is quite noticible when exceeding 140km/h however from my experience, it has no problem hitting...

Dear Victor ,
<br>
<br>Is it quite so late or not? Suspension that you need with TRD., if in Malay have some modify shops you should changing shock- hydraulic oil to be stonger if you can order 70 - 80% more than OEM. (exacly 70-80% stronger) .The feeling after that is so well and not different from TRD., but safe more.
<br>In Thailand I spend 2,000 Baht for this (500x4).
<br>
<br>Haadyai should be have modify shop.

2/fuel tank overflow hose fault
3/internal fixture parts coming loose due to use of double side tape to attach??!!!.
4/rear suspension springs too soft resulting in
motorboating,rear suspension sinking

It is a very good and practical sedan. It feels like a BMW when you ride it. Fuel economy is good with 10-11 km/litre in the city and 13-14 km.litre highway driving. I recommend this car to new car buyers. This car is a good buy!...

I own a Sep 2002 Toyota Corolla Altis 1.6e and from day one, i noticed a whistling sound coming from the engine when cruising at 28km/h. I also tested other altis and they seem to have a similar problem.
The tyre noise is irritating and becomes very loud above 60km/h even though the tyres are new (Goodyear NCT).
The steering wheel must have come from a 1979 corrolla because is feel small to hold.
Due to the softly sprung setup, the car is excellent for transporting the family in and...

I'v heard that the Goodyear NCT isn't really a quiet tire. Try the YOKOHAMA ASPEC A300. It's by far the quietest radial I've known, and I'm using this on my Altis. Very quiet, with smooth ride. You can do a web search on this tire to confirm my claims!

Whistle noise ------------Please claim to your dealer.Changing rubber front doors seals.
<br>Suspension---------------In Malaysia should be some modify / Reseach check on Net. In Thailand ~34,000/42 USD. from TRD suspension. I think in Malay is cheaper.

“To all Toyota Corolla Altis owners. My Altis is...”
To all Toyota Corolla Altis owners. My Altis is finished in galaxy black and I opted for the leather seats (factory fitted). It's already clocked 7,000km over the past 4 months which really shows how I enjoy driving the car! To enhance the driving pleasure at night, I installed a xenon hid kit on my car, but one problem is that the original fog lamp cannot accomadate the brilliant brightness of the headlamp, so I had to install another pair of piaa xtreme force lamps to it; but it doesn't really...

17inch wheels may be too harsh for our Asian roads. Go with the 16 inch ones. You may consider 205/55 R 16. Slightly larger diameter, but better ride. Michelin tyres of course.

I am the owner of two Toyota Corolla Altis's. One i keep in stock, the other i upgraded the suspension spring sets. I can compare the feel between them. In short, they have good engines (1800cc) and are very stable in taking corners but please try the sporty spring sets from TRD. You'll be amazed....

For Altis owners , If you have upgraded or claimed the softed springs or claimed shock absorbers to TOYOTA already. Another way if you changed new tyres to 205/60 with sport type (MICHILIN) it is very much changing for a good feeling, safe time safe money and safe gas but for high speed only. Try it !!!

Toyota Corolla Altis (2002).
I could hardly believe this car is a Corolla! If I were blindfolded I could have sworn I was in a BMW 3-series with better seats, a quieter cabin, and a smoother ride. Close the doors and you'll swear this is one solid masterpiece that you could pass on to your grandkids! ...

Before you go out and buy a sedan, I suggest you head for the nearest Toyota dealer and test drive the new Corolla. Chances are you'll agree that this is the BEST in it's class, and with Toyota's undisputed reliability and strong dealer support, you'll end up filling out an order form. You're gonna love the car... trust me. ...

The Toyota Corolla Altis model 2002 is a very good car in Thailand-about 1600-1800 cc.
I suggest you to test it'...

I am an owner of an Altis. I find it very spacious, very ample legroom for me. Steering is very responsive, suspension excellent, gas consumption by the teaspoon. The only catch is i can't see where the front ends and this is some problem when parking in tight places and it has some blind spots when backing up. Otherwise it is an excellent car with an excellent shape

It's quite opposite with me, I own test my car 1.8 lts., more than 50,000 kms. in 9 months.
<br> engine 8/10
<br>suspension 6/10 too weak . so harmful for high speed!!!
<br>speed>200kms. I think can do for downhill and very short time. How RPM.for engine can take with the velocity??
<br>Over 160 kms./h noise too much not so quiet that they claimed.
<br>How noise come when rain!! , how weak the suspensions!!!! Hurry up changing suspension.!!!
