Toyota Altis 1.6A

I got my new Altis on Friday, July 28, 2006. My first NEW car. The 1.6 litre saloon was a proven no frill family car. It came with a reputation for fuel efficieny, reliable and economical at its class. Those were my reasons to choose this saloon on Mitsubishi Lancer, Renault Megane & Nissan Saloon.

Actually, it was my third car following Renault Clio 1.4 and Nissan EX Saloon 1.5. However, this medium silver machine was my first automatic transmission car costing me around S$55K (inclusive COE at around S$11K). Being made in Thailand doesn't make this car any less Japanese. It came with the same VVTI engine, smooth & efficient gearbox. The interior remains satisfactory with beige leather upholstery and wood panelling on the centre console with a MP3 CD-player with control from the steering wheel and a digital climate control.
