| ![]() Congrats Jaxy ; looks like the first 7-speed Altis on the forum. Condolences on the loss of mirror ; agony after ecstasy, which I guess is every new car owner's experience. When even petty badges can be stolen ,this is no surprise. When you get over your grief , do post a detailed review on various aspects of the car and also please include some shots of the engine bay,interiors,exteriors,boot. Enjoy your drive !!!! |

Hope this explains. BTW, congrats on your new purchase. You will not regret your decision. I own 2 pre. generation Corollas, 1 in India and 1 in USA and both just go on and on without any glitches. Last edited by Nitrous Power : 15th September 2011 at 01:36. | |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() Congratulations, finally someone bought an Altis and has put up the thread. Seriously new Altis threads are a rarity on the forum. Please post more pictures of exteriors and interiors, also not sure but i did not see does the DVD player plays only DVD's or it plays DivX/Avi from pen drives as well? How did the drive felt, did you test drove the Civic and Laura and as compared to them how was the feeling? |

Team-BHP Support ![]() | ![]() Very sorry to hear about the mirror theft. As someone who has lost my logos more than once, I can relate to how frustrating it must be, especially since mirrors are such a useful accessory. Hope you find the crook and bring him to justice. |

![]() This is really shocking to know. Looks like its a new racket. After badges its time for mirrors. No sooner we will have missing tires. Some where on forum I saw some guys tires got stolen. What I would suggest is you compare the cost of mirror and the value of your no claim bonus and then decide what to opt for. | |

| ![]() I have the 4-speed A/T Altis and your FE figures make me green with envy. The 7-speed is 50% more fuel efficient, impressive ! Surprising that you say that the steering is heavy. My Altis steering is super light and smooth which makes it a boon to zip around in traffic. Although it does weigh up when you gain speed. |

| ![]() Good to hear that the mirror was found. I hope Toyota A.S.S is able to fix the mirrors. Awaiting more pictures, especially the interiors. Last edited by khan_sultan : 29th December 2016 at 10:03. Reason: Edited quoted post for better readability |

| ![]() One more key feature which i missed out earlier is: I don't have to take out the key of my pocket, the door has a sensor which opens up all the doors as soon as i press my thumb against it, also the boot can be opened by giving a gentle push upwards as long as the key is in my pocket |

Personally overall Laura wins, the drive of the DSG gearbox is pure evil ![]() Civic bottomed out on the speed bumps and did not like the low driving position, neither did my dad who has slight knee problem. He found it pretty difficult to sit in the civic's back seat. Then i heard the corolla has new CVT - I gearbox which is not the conventional type or as they say so. Test drove it, it was fab. Easy to drive, lots of goodies only downside is its petrol but i can still live with it. | |
