Toyota Corolla 1.8G full review - AutoBuzz.my

Dude, you said the full name of the mosque splendidly. Thumbs up for you mate. Malaysia, what a beautiful country man.

Go buy toyota corolla altis now❤❤😅

[@muzlp]

That’s an interesting intro.. I was a bit curious initially to see how u’ll relate the Shah Alam Mosque to a Toyota Corolla 😅 But u guys nailed it 👏🏻👍

[@AndrewKNI]

Great review and lovely car. We only get the hybrid version with cvt in the UK.

[@JoDON111]

In my opinion, the zig-zag pattern of the gear selector going to P, R,N,D, (S)is actually a good thing. Because sometimes a straight line gear selector, can sometimes makes you accidentally when to (S) without you noticing While the zig-zag pattern, reduce your accidentally put into (S). Even if you put into (S), you will know what gears if you have chosen

[@ryuhayashi97]

Totally agree with ya

[@AdamIzwadi]

Ya i prefer gated shifter as well. You can change from P to D without looking at it

[@alukito26]

Have to agree with you, gated shift feels much safer but it is prone to dust.

[@mirzaxxalex5502]

Yes especially for senior citizen, zig zag pattern help my father aware which gear is engaged. If the car has bigger font on the dashbord its ok but if smaller font they always complaining cannot see it.

[@comments7335]

Nice backdrop with the iconic mosque. Good and fair review. Well done.

[@Sashpicious]

Personally I've been a civic fan for the longest time,even when I saw the specs of the Corolla when it first came out, I laughed at it's carried over 1.8 engine. My opinions changed when I went for a test drive. The ride was so smooth and quite. The handling and seating was just spot on. In the civic I felt a bit too low for my liking (did give a sporty feel). With the civics 1.5T engine,yes you get a lot more power but that power isn't necessary in day to day driving. So I think this time, the Corolla is a winner for me 😄

[@kingtonmufc]

Yeah, i guess it's fair to say most of us grew up worshiping the Civic but it's sad to see this lil' fella being overshadowed in sales. The Civic feels roomier because the rear seats are just too thin and too low.

[@bradpackblue]

Civic is just too low for comfort. Rather pay a bit more for comfort. The drive is really good

[@ranceng6560]

U will suffer when passby the genting road with full load. This car more suitable for city drive, and i guess vios more then enough for city drive, normal buyers wont spend 130-140k for this. Import from thailand is bad move, buyer mayb can accept this price if import from japan just like mazda3 la. Now i can see new mazda3 more then new altis.

[@zihhad2874]

Totally agree with u. I am civic fc owner as well. But when i drove this car, i quite suprised. Very nice handling and feel. Only lack in interior design and accessories.

[@romanks6816]

@@zihhad2874 yes, me too.. Haha.

[@wong924]

For general public of non-Toyota nor Honda fans, Civic has done so many things right on paper and in showroom, let alone the 1.5Turbo engine with additional 50Nm compared to the lethargic 1.8NA in Corolla... This is why Civic is such a huge success even after so many years on market... But still Corolla is going to appeal to a huge bunch of Toyota fanboys and general mindset of looking for reliability and resale value, at least it is now in a much safer way with TSS...

[@ryuhayashi97]

The Infortainment seems outdated... just like how UMW likes it, giving us outdated cars at premium price

[@germaineliew2012]

Now they have the guts to charge people RM3k to get the properly integrated infotainment, that would've been standard equipment in other markets. Yes, charging people to put back what they removed! There's a lot to like about Toyota's current lineup, but it sucks that their image is tarnished by UMW, the cars are much better outside our market. I don't think I'll be buying a new car from UMW. Period.

[@kingtonmufc]

True, like many out there, the Civic's turbo-fed performance and price augurs well. The TNGA platform is not just about fitting double wishbones at the back and making a modular platform, i think it really works. Upgrading from a 2004 Vios , this Corolla was sorely tempting as the ideal daily ride but me being anti CVT i opted for the Camry.

having previously owned the previous altis with the gated transmission shift lever, i'd say it's the one thing that i missed. you can just shift without looking and not getting it wrong unlike the straight shift levers., it was just so intuitive

[@bladeqmaster]

Having used to almera 2011 screaming everytime overtaking vehicles, i would probably can tolerate this car sluggishness. After spend thousands of ringgit for repairs in couples of recent months, I'm looking to change for more reliable car and from what I have searched, corolla is among the tops. After watching this video I'm booking one.

After owning civic 1.5tc for few years, kinda regret never go for altis. Civic lack of refinement, small problem here and there albeit faster acceleration and better looking interior.

[@moonwalker243]

Eu Jin, I totally agree with you on the backseat which is too upright for my liking as well. It's as if I am being punished if I am asked to go for a long road trip. The interior is plush but definitely much need to be done to improve it. If UMW going to charge for that much, they should at least perfect the infotainment system and lack of power in the engine. I will probably look forward to the facelift instead of buying this model.

[@ahmadfarisrosli7597]

the civic is a little more powerful? The civic has 33hp and 48Nm more than the Corolla. That's not a little, that's a lot more.

[@yangerek78]

Even the upcoming city is better looking than this despite the difference segment.
