Finally a perfect review with honest conclusion. It's a family sedan for truly comfortable cruising and day to day driving. Not sporty like many people claim
Altis is overprice too. Mazda3 imported from japan but altis imported from thailand. I still can occasionally see mazda3 but only see altis 1-2times on road.
No sacrastic, i just mean that people willing spend more money for japan import car than thailand import, i can see more mazda3 then altis on the road although both launch on last year also. Dont compare with civic cause civic is malaysia ckd.
The drive sounds a lot like the 1st generation Nissan Sylphy 2.0 (2008) which I owned. Quiet, refined, comfort tuned suspension etc. However, I read few comments that this Corolla is not too quiet when the speed gets up to 110 km/h and it gets noisier above this speed mainly from the roads and traffic. The Nissan Sylphy is quiet up to 170 km/h. Too bad Toyota didn't pay too much on NVH especially noise levels as it used to be a trademark for Toyota vehicles. Perhaps the Camry is the only vehicle which is quiet up to 200 km/h but not this Corolla which is unfortunate.
Nicely presented. Always look forward for your reviews. However, on 4:35, the 9 Inch Clarion Malaysia Player is not supported in the latest Altis. At least this was mentioned by the sales person in UMW Rawang. This is available on which batch ya? This is a deal breaker as spoiled with Android Auto function on my current car.
I own a civic and i found the corolla is nice too bruh. Only the engine is not appealing to me. I really need the low end torque at times. However, currently i love low driving position so for now civic vl do. Once i got bored of the low seating position i might consider corolla as my next buy if the next gen civic did not arrive sooner.
The touch screen infotainment unit really looks like an after market installation and sticking out awkwardly. Steering wheel design can be better. Exterior design is better now compared to their past model. Then again, nobody buys Toyota for exciting look, driving dynamic, etc. Toyota is for those who just want to get from point A to B, reliability, comfort which suits most consumers.
Thx for the honest review For me,this is truly a boring car suitable for those expecting to keep this car for 10-20years But let me be real,just get urself a xv40 Camry For sure better reliability and easier to drive plus its 1/3rd price of this now
Am quite okay with the design except the biggest let down is the super bulky media in the meddle that reminds me of the first gen colour TV 30 years ago
Dear WapCar, could you please create a video about cars with more than 3 Isofix or even better, cars within the B segment or C segment that can fit 3 baby car seats at the rear. Really appreciate it.
@@ranceng6560 whay convince more do u need do u always bring a passenger each time u drive the car? Obviously not u will be alone most part of the time going work and forth so what is the big fuss about
i did rent previous gen corolla and its a very comfortable car.. thing that i dont like is steering feedback and cvt responsiveness.. the car feel stable than my persona vvt (less body roll) but the steering feel is very low.. it makes it boring and slow.. the cvt is super silent but the response is slow in low rpm.. if to compare to my persona, the altis need to be in sport mode to make it feel like persona
the traffic noise intrusion into the cabin is very obvious in the previous generation altis and it is so annoying. Looks like Toyota has not overcome this issue with the latest model. i'd say even the current civic outclasses the altis in terms of traffic noise intrusion.
@@xmenlingcheehuat0811 The Elantra was just launched last year and the new Kia Cerato will be coming in any hot second now I guess. Would think the new variants are viable for a countryman's wallet since they have proven as such in recent years.
Noted in the comments section that you measured the back seats angle but don't you find that the back seat's headrest juts out a bit too far for a comfortable support. It tilts the passenger's head forward as the back rest is concaved inward.
Civic vs altis is always the tough choice for c-segment buyers. If the altis was a 2.0 with prices below 140k, am sure it will sell well. Altis is more comfortable compared to the civic but less powerful. Does the car still handle well at speeds in excess of 140 to 160?
Expecting more n more honest review, is really underpower car, this car is mainly for auntie uncle to use for, many place is cut spec including material as well, not worth paid this price for this spec n quality
I think it is a pretty fair review. Personally I think the main minus point is the cramped appearance of the cabin and too small cabin stowage. I had a look at one and didn't feel compelled that it is a big enough improvement to warrant a replacement for my trusty Corolla ZZE132. Also felt like it was too posh (not a bad thing - just perception). As for the cabin insulation levels - I think I can accept some not too excessive outside noise. There have been occasions I could only tell that there was a bike in my blind spot because I heard the sound of its engine.
I love toyota.They are minimalist and cheapskate.A lot of backlashes made them to change the infotainment.I can imagine UMW malaysia is crying because less profit. Cubby spaces is literally small.Currently it vl be almost perfect if not its 1.8 Dinosaur engine.
Its minimalist for a reason anyway why should a car make give u something that u drool about but after some time it breaks down or u need a new replacement parts? The one that is cheapskate is u since not only u dont want to pay extra $$ for something that may last longer than u but the fact that u are being stupid for buying something else will break down and cost u even more $$$
i love toyota. im driving vios. what i hate most about it is backward technology. come on. honda civic comes with auto start fm smart key. this helps a lot. malaysia is hot. before u get into ur car must cool it first. plus high spec comes with full body kit. but this one. empty! sorry. im choosing civic fe for my next car
In most part of the video, due to the reviewer camera position we can see the awkward huge hump/tunnel covering the 2-DIN head unit sticking out above the otherwise a sleek dashboard. Seems like an afterthought and what an eyesore just like in the new RAV4 unfortunately.
WapCar yes it is carried over from the launch model but still a design afterthought. Other markets like Australia for example gets the same dashboard but with a proper touchscreen integration 😁
the infotainment unit looks weird with that big cover at the back. Maybe its just me but it kinda looked out of place. From where WAPCAR placed the video camera, the infotainment rear cover even blocked part of the dashboard above the speedometer
lol can we just honestly said its just drive you from one place to another under a decent brand car if you don't mind low value of money (before you sell as used) and 5 years outdated technology?
To be frank, I drove both the Altria 2014 and the new Altria facelift 2020. Although the engine & transmission are brought over, the driving sensation is of different level. The power drain feeling is so much better. I believe the Toyota engineering has gone their max best in tuning the car. Feel so good to drive for a family car
U driving on the highway even if u drive a ferrari on a regular highway it felt ' sedated' in a way. Bring this to Genting or some curvy roads than compared its rival than that will be a better comparison. Do u even know the altis 2.0L na engine can out run the civic 2.0L na as well?? m.ruclips.net/video/A7W2PntvFEQ/видео.html
No doubt the chassis is very composed but the steering doesn't do it for us. It's numb and slow even compared to the C-HR and Camry. Yes the 2.0L is great, but we don't get the 2.0 engine in Malaysia.
@@WapCar well its a daily car from point A to B while true the CHR drives better since it have to live to its name ' Coupe High Rider' the Altis on the other hand is just your regular mid size sedan that ticks all the boxes u need
@@WapCar the way i see it there is Corrola Ascend if u want your altis to look sportier than there is the recently launched Corolla wagon if u need more space than there is the Corrola Apex if u need more power or Corolla Cross if u want more SuV looking, whole wide of choices now the question of whether all this models will enter M'sia is another topic all together
"A very family oriented sedan" and it makes Corolla the best selling car in the world. Clean and honest review. Loved it!
Glad you liked it!
Finally a perfect review with honest conclusion. It's a family sedan for truly comfortable cruising and day to day driving. Not sporty like many people claim
I think ppl just claim it to be tidy handling car with a really subtle ride. Hard to get comfortable while sporty handling.
You'll only find trusted and honest reviews on WapCar 😃
sporty in the sense that it handles well(because of it's solid, well tuned chassis)..which in turn inspires more confidence when pushing hard.
Keep up WapCar,your presentation is what i expected
It has been quiet sometime since the last i heard such a good, honest and transparent car review Bro. Hat's off!
Honda nowadays hv quality issue like rafting, fuelpump, steering rack..😂😅😢

Most reliable car for South East Asia countries and you can trust the quality of manufacturing in Thailand 🇹🇭.
as usual, good review from Adrian

received mine yesterday. superb in comfort
Thanks. Always great reviews.
Is the steering wheel lighter than it's rivals?
Thanks again
i love this car interior , look so simple , no button here , no button there , i just , like it
And now i have a choice of suitable car for my mom. She need a comfort car, not a super fast car like civic hehe

Why can't we have infotainment system just like in corolla Australia or other corolla overseas.

Think Adrian is in my opinion one of the best reviewer in Malaysia 👌🏻
We'll be arranging the Accord soon, stay tuned! And thanks for the support!
Really appreciate u Adrian. Always respond for ur fans
Very good review👍
for comfort, nothing can beat toyota. reviewers which says honda civic is comfortable to drive is bs

What is the model number for the 9" Clarion Entertainment System?
The only C segment car with 9 inch screen, wireless charger and rear sunshade. Not bad still 5K cheaper than CKD Civic although Altis is a CBU unit.
I own a civic and i found the corolla is nice too bruh. Only the engine is not appealing to me. I really need the low end torque at times. However, currently i love low driving position so for now civic vl do.

yea, a comfortable ride is what most people prefer for daily drive.
Toyota Corolla 2020 hatchback looks cool
The touchscreen infotainment is indeed a locally sourced unit from Clarion but factory fitted so it meets Toyota's standards 😃
Generally toyota altis new is more for uncle and nerdy man who drive like turtle on the road
Good review. Thanks
Any aircon comparison between brands across C-segment cars? Toyota Corolla, Mazda3 , Honda Civic and Hyundai Elantra.
After watching this, my good impression of Altis has slowly faded away...
I love Toyota Altis!

How does the Corolla compare to his Korean counterparts? Would love to see a shootout or comparison with all the affordable C-Segments
The problem is the Korean C-segment that available now is old, and base variant. So, can really compare.

Is the handling of this altis better or the new proton s70 better , has anyone test drive both cars already.
that 2-din head unit hump, once u see it u cant unseen it.
