Toyota Corolla Car Reviews

vitz 07 model is best car in this price cat,avg consumption in city is 12 to 13excellent air conditioning,if u plan to buy city instead of this it would be like paying extra 3 lakhs.aval price range of good vitz is around 950 to 1050.but buy good condition as they are also used in japan as rent a car or taxi.register it yourself as dealer or touts outside registration office ask more.i got reigstered around 13000 and normal price is 25000. always get it tuned from toyota motor no experiments by locals.use zic Aplus ENGINE OIL AND FREQUENTLY CLEAN AIR CLEANER.USE HI OCTANE AT TIMES.KNOKING PROBLEM IS MOSTLY BECAUSE AS NEW DRIVER U DONT KNOW HOW TO accelerate.FL GRADE ARE PREFEERED AS THEY R GOOD BUT R EXPENSIVE.

I am driving this corolla Xli 2010 for the last one week and also drove city 2010 manual.

corolla is bigger car , more aggressive looking than city. its distinctive look is because of Camry adaption of design and its excellent value for money.

When you drive you will have smile on your face because it gives you the satisfaction that whatever you spend on this car is not going to be wasted.

The number of corolla sale is highest in Pakistan even surpassing Suzuki mehran, cultus. and latest figure showed Gli having major chunk of 3500 monthly sales for the last 9 months straight. till after a year of introduction the resale value is so good that those who bought it for Rs. 11,99,000 can easily sale this for Rs. 12,50,000.

The maintenance is still cheap as with previous generation corolla as you can buy air oil filters of Pakistan made or Thailand made at very cheap price. It has V Vti engine which gives you power as and when wanted or you can drive normally to have in city 10.50 km per liter mileage. Its accelerator is so responsive that you need to get adjusted in first few days. This was the problem in US Corolla and Camry but here as the floor carpet was different in which it stuck there. The ride is not as hard as of the previous model. its spacious and it has power to get 5 adults or a family with reasonable mileage. Now comparison of Xli with City as both fall in same price and engine capacity. Honda City has very good comfortable ride with low engine noise. It has better fuel efficiency and can give you 11 plus km/ltr easily. Its only draw back is its acceleration which is normal and not as good as corolla. As city wants its car to be more fuel efficient rather than use for car racing. In Thailand you can change the car's rpm and throttle by using the laptop with an experience after market engineer. The city seems to be smaller from back. Its resale is very bad and its Rs. 100,000 down already if you try to resale it even after few months.The price difference is only Rs. 39,000. And even now dealers offering Rs. 35,000 discount on it. its interior is black which majority people dont like it . The indian and thailand version with V class is the beige interior. The toyota corolla is now having much more improved quality and now giving the city a tough time which is known for quality and comfort.

The corolla is a very successful car.Other than its resale,Its is very reliable.It has a comfortable ride,and the drive is very smooth.The car has comfortable seats as well unlike other cars such as Suzuki Margala.it is powerful and can surpass a lot of kilometers and also rough highways such as the Karakorum highway.
Even though the car is reliable and powerful, it has negative things about it too.The car's maintenance is expensive and the car is also expensive.It eats fuel and needs a lot of fuel up to 42 liters(for the diesel one).
Overall, this car is really worth buying for its money value and is recommended to buy for everyone.

Got a New Altis 2005 Automatic.
The first good thing is the delivery time .The car is delivered in 19 days after the booking. The General time of booking is around 6 Months for XLI at that time.
The interior features are much better than the normal corolla like the Map Lamps for driver and front pessanger. Driver AirBag, Doble Din Pioneer Pre with MP3 Support and very handsome looking Optitron meter. The build quality of interior is below average. The AirVents are not properly fitted. Went to dealership to get it fixed but they could not help although it was a manufacturing fault but they failed to take the responsibility or provide any remedy.
The wooden console center pocket is very poorly designed and got broken within first 3 months. Need to get it repaired from a local grill maker who has added the steel rods and since then its working perfectly.
The Best thing about Altis is its acceleration. The engine is 133HP i.e 100 kW. 2009 and onwards are detuned to 97KW.
Just press the floor and you will feel the torque. Excellent response at low revs. There is no locally manufactured car that can give you such a response upto 3000 RPM which is usually the limit for city driving. Mine is an Automatic so not as fast as the Manual one but still pretty quick. Also the ECT Power mode allows you to keep the lower gears for much longer times. Although if u are flooring the car then ECT or no ECT are same.
Doing 150-160 KM/h is pretty easy for the car.
The average on fuel is around 10.5 and on CNG with Lambda Kits its 120+ in 55 Liter cylinder.
The General tires that come with the car are no good.However the car does not have scary feeling of bad breaks due to the presence of ABS.
I have changed my tires to 205/65/14 and the grips improved a lot. On a rainy day you need to be careful as the ABS engages a lot but for a normal dry day I will rate the brakes above average.
The ride is bumpy compared to Japanese Corolla or the Civic But the suspension is blessing in the rural areas with no roads.You need not to care about the bad patches much.
The leg room is good for passengers up to 6 feet.Also the rear passengers does not have a same crippling feel that is associated with civic 2008.
Looks wise the car is not bad. The door garnish and the side skirts on the doors gives an impressive look to the car they are not sporty but decent.
The fog lights are also included as a standard accessory and the switch is part of the indicator stick.Also the car is equipped with a CAT to provide cleaner emissions.
Its a shame that the car comes without alloys.It was top of the line model but comes with steel rims.
Overall its a good purchase if you keep in mind the availability of spare parts.

I feel it's an amazing ride inspired by its older sibling- the toyota camry! With its superior style & unmatchable comfort, the corolla again marks its footsteps as a trend-setter! The luxurious interior grasps the onlooker into its beauty. With the comparisons now being held all over the world with the Honda Civic reborn, the corolla has outdone itself by enhancing in stability, power & comfort leaving behind the civic for the first time! Now with its triptronic gear & cruise control, it excels all the other cars in its price range.

The rear of the vehicle, although highly similar to the previous corolla, still continues to be an icon of style. When i first saw the corolla cruisetronic, i was a littil bit disappointed because of its drastic similarity to the previous corolla, but i gained respect for it in time becuase of the high quality drive it has & its edges & cuts giving it a sporty touch.

Toyota has again given its engine a sound that amazes people in acceleration. According to my opinion, if u can afford to buy a cruisetronic, go ahead! Enjoy.
