Mahindra Scorpio humped the back rear at Regal crossing: no paint peeling off, and rubbed.
Tata Indica bumped into the bumper again-rubbed off.
Toyota Qualis went too close at the Mehrauli-Gurgaon border, got some scratches and a minor line at the tyre line-scratches rubbed off.
Weekly scratches from scooters/mobikes at the Ambi Mall-Udyog Vihar 0.5 km nightmare.
Trust me, the high body does lead to higher dent avoidance! |
From what you mention as above, in that case the corolla is very livable indeed. These kind of occurances one faces every day in Delhi traffic, and its the softer bodies where the dents and scratches become more prominent. However from the incidences outlined above, and still your corolla braved them with just a few scratch rub offs - then that is just great.
When you say "high body leading to dent avoidance" - do you mean the 185mm ground clearance alongwith 15" alloys leading to high body?
