Dear all,

After almost 6 years with my Vios 1.5G, tomorrow will be my new chapter with TYT !!! a new Altis 1.8G !!!medium Silver. smile_big.gif

So got to spend another 3 years with UMW TYT SC..... smile_disapprove.gif

Finally, i confirm that Toyota really know how to get customer. They built car with noT so high tech (but good tech) but reliable and low maintenance compare to other made + aggresive SA !!! smile_big.gif

Anyway, so excited to receive my new car tommorow !! what to look for ?? smile_blush.gif

vios2000,

THought you'll go for Sylphy? This is a shock & I'm too surprised. Since you have bought Altis, I can tell you the maintenance of Sylphy's X-CVT. The service internal is not fixed. THey'll have to plug-in the diagnostic tool to the TCM to determine the density of the ATF. If the machine says change, then you'll change the ATF. THE NS2 ATF cost u around RM200 and the labour expertise will be close to RM400 I think, something similar to Honda City with CVT. Also those CVT transmission has additional sensors, 1 sensor for each moveable face pulley meaning more electronics.

Sorry for not telling you early. You look too in love with Sylphy earlier so I just ignored your thread. THough Altis lacks the high tech, it'll serve you well. In certain city driving, its FC could fare better than Sylphy especially when idling a lot. No regret owning it. Congratulations rolleyes.gif

I still cannot forget the smoothness of CVT from slyphy, but hey, let face the reality !!! I earn 3K in my pocket now man !!! smile_big.gif Now driving a "poor man camry" as if I was driving as camry!! hehe... smooth, quite and "similar" cabin to camry... no complaint-lah !!

Amir,
Superbike tak jadi.... just focus on my new ALTIS first .... smile_big.gif when are you coming?

vios200,

good choice you did.

few advantages of altis...

1. the widest car in its class (about 3cm wider than civic). 3 adults in the rear seat can sit comfortably

2. one of the lightest body in its class, hence no need extra gears for acceleration

3. warranty of 3 years or 100,000km

4. about 80 outlets of after sales service centres throughout malaysia

5. high reliability with the same mechanicals from previous altis

6. low maintenance - no power steering fluid, coolant change at 160,000km, ATF change at 80,000km
