Toyota Altis is definitely VFM

I started by comparing the Honda civic and the Toyota Corolla Altis. Must say I was horrified to see the sales team at the Whitefield Honda branch,Bangalore. Absolutely unprofessional, it felt like as if they were doing us a favour. Consulted a couple of friends and reached a conclusion that Honda gave some serious after sales servicing problems. Asked the Honda demo person for a civic TD, and surprisingly the branch did not have even a single car for TD. Finally after a lot of discussion the person took out an old civic with torn leather seats, dusty interiors, and a rattling engine for test drive. Feeling let down and completely disgusted at this behaviour, I walked out and drove to the nearest Toyota showroom. The feeling was completely different. The Staff at Ravindu Toyota was courteous and primarily a lot more professional in their approach. The altis GL was readily available for TD. The car had great pickup, Handling felt good (electronic steering). The engine did get a bit noisy once I crossed 120 km/hr but that was ok. Air conditioning too was very effective on a hot sunny day. Overall build quality cannot be questioned, it’s a Toyota after all. I think this car is definitely a lot more loaded than the Civic and also a lakh cheaper. Overall the car was definitely value for money. Even the ground clearance of the car made sure that it doesn’t hit every god damn speed breaker on the road so very unlike the Civic. I immediately booked the Altis and received my car in a week. The team at Ravindu helped me with all the processes and must say it was a cruise. The delivery too was completed well in 40 minutes. At the end of this entire exercise I am happy I went for Toyota. The car is running great, no problem till date. The car is giving me 12km/ltr in city with AC which is commendable.Good looks, fuel economy, Pleasure to drive, great serviceInteriors could have been better in this price range
