Here it is, the most popular car in the world, in its pre-owned and well used glory. In today's review, we took a 2008 Toyota Corolla Altis out for a drive to see if it aged like wine or milk. Is Toyota's fabled reliability an urban legend, or could this car still be worth considering despite it being 14 years old?

I use to own the previous Generation of this Toyota Corolla Altis. its really a workhorse. no major, not even minor issue. the only thing is a warped the brake disc i went car wash straight after a long drive. and only cost $80 bucks to replace. The aircon from Toyota is also top notch really.. no maintainance, no repair, stays cold for full 10 years. super impressive..

Nice! You should start this series of reviewing old COE cars like cerato!!

@iRaymie Жыл бұрын

back then, i once did an hour and 15mins from JB to Malacca with this workhorse. cruising between 160kmh and 200kmh is effortless. of course, with good tyres and traffic.

what i like about this altis is that you can deep clean the interior and polish the car and it will look like new again! Pretty good quality materials used

@radicalztheron1687 2 жыл бұрын

Can’t really argue against the Corolla Altis if you are someone who is just looking for a Point A to Point B private transport with minimum frills and maintenance. There’s a reason why this car is still running today on roads as taxis across so many Asian cities. WORKHORSE!!

@TheSoulReleasez 2 жыл бұрын

The horsepower is wrong. As this is the pre facelift version, it’s using the old engine with only 107bhp. The facelift version came with the more powerful dual VVT-i engine. But it’s still pretty decent enough to get you around places. With some careful driving, you can average an impressive 11km/L for mixed city and highway driving.

Understand that this is a 2008 car but I am sure viewers would appreciate a car in better condition. Painful to watch for car owners who actually take care of their cars. Yellow headlights and dented door panels not a pleasant sight. Unless you're doing a makeover then show the before and after. Hogwash.

@hellopanda7171 2 жыл бұрын

Theres nth wrong with reviewing as it is car condition. Most 08 09 Altis will look more or less this way. In fact, show us the peeling leather, the washed out plastics, the ding and dangs on the doors. If I'm watching a used car review, I would want to know how the car is holding up after 14 years of usage. Let's be honest, not every car owner will take car of their car impeccably. This is a realistic representation of how most Altis will look. I wouldn't want to be catfished by an Altis when I walk into a used car showroom.

@@hellopanda7171 I didn't mention anything wrong with the car condition (not in the way you are insinuating anyway), just stating my personal preferences. It is fine for you to not agree with me. On that note, if you are agreeable to buy a car of this condition then please go ahead. I will not comment on your choice of preference - but it's not for me.
