And guess what..he has found Sheng Chi , albeit in its "sports" form.

Congratz Harish i somehow guessed that you would be picking up Toyota, great car which offers great package!

Devil.DJ · 22nd June 2009, 15:39

Congratulations Harish on the new car !! Toyota is indeed one of the most reliable car manufacturer. Have been reading your ordeal with Skoda, I wish it will come to an end soon.

Cheers,

Congrats Harish,

Welcome to the Toyota family. I think you took a very wise decision of going in for a reliable and time tested model after all that you had to face with the SODA. opps! Skoda. I found the Shinrai service Top-notch till date. Do post some pics.

btw, what is the progress on the Skoda case. Hope you've hired a good lawyer.

All the Best

Toyota will offer you complete peace of mind after the Skoda experience.

Enjoy the car and yes, pictures please.

Hey Lalvaz. It's not a sports car. Toyota calls it 'sports'. It only has skirts and spoiler.

Congratulations Harish..

Wish you miles and miles of trouble free ride.

Welcome to the world of Japanese cars and it bullet proof reliability. Have driven a Honda Accord when I was in the US and it just kept running non-stop..

Have fun

Cheers

PS : I still remeber how my American friends made fun of me when I picked up extended warranty.. He He..

DriverR · 22nd June 2009, 20:39

Congrats Harish. I'm sure your experience with Toyota would be much better.

As said by others, all the best with your case, and looking forward to you emerging victorious. I really admire people like you who take the time and energy to fight out these cases till the end.

Kudos, and don't let Skoda get away lightly.

Aditya · 22nd June 2009, 21:56

Nice choice, Harish. The Altis is a comfortable and super reliable mile muncher. I'm sure you'll have many wonderful years with Toyota.

thiyags22 · 22nd June 2009, 22:54

Hi Harish,

Wish you a great experience with Altis unlike skoda

novice · 22nd June 2009, 23:04

Congratulations on your new car. The previous gen Corolla is one of the most reliable and cheapest cars to maintain in its category. I owned one for four years and done 70K kms. It never had a breakdown, not even a single fused bulb in four years.

Absolute peace of mind!!

Good choice Harish. Corolla is proven car . But the fight with Skoda.......... "DONT give up"
