Should i buy a Latio?

[Latiorarri]

Agreed! I sat in my colleague's altis, the aircon was really powerful man, at 26 degC was already cold, and also very silent at blower setting No 2 or 3, not like ours very noisy.

For the pro, I actually like latio's high profile seat, and of course the interior engine noise and comfort.

Huh sure anot?? got to set at 28 degrees when driving to work in the morning.. too cold.. 30K servicing i told the SA too cold.. then he look at me and say no body complain too cold one leh.. only not cold enough

Yep, maybe our blower is also quite powerful that why we hear the wind gushing out that make it noisy when we set to blower 3 and above.

i set to 1 fan speed at 18C.
quiet and cold.

earlier version of dashboard (NO knobs, only press buttons  ), space and cvt are what attracted me.

 HU knobs or the aircond knobs   I like wood like panel, the nice arm rest, the smooth drive of CVT, the many compartment design, the seat height from the ground is just nice. Two adult at rear is very comfortable with the rear arm rest down.

It will be prefect for me if TCM have 1.8L version for Latio.

lucky the earlier version is the press button type.

U're rite bro, the above all u mentioned are also the other factors..

If have 1.8L version for Latio I think I confirm will buy. Dont need to even compare with a 1.8L Altis....

The bros here have mentioned most of the points le..   


You buy this car for:

1) the interior - finishing and amount of space

2) engine is smooth. CVT makes it even smoother with no cog swapping.

3) fuel consumption - 12 to 14km/l


You don't buy it for:

1) handling - at stock it's only average

2) power - hey it's your typical 1.5.


Some may not like it because it is tall and the seat height is higher compared to other cars.

Factory brakes and balance could be better but I guess you can't go much further with stock front/rear disc/drum anyway.

Aircon is okay - I leave it at 23 with fan speed at 2.

As All the Lations , young & old , summed up the + & - .... GO FOR IT... u will never regret.

IT'S MADE IN JEPUN... that's more important, if u emphasize on workmanship.

[expresso]

the only setback is the aircon... which i felt a lack in the coldness... got to set till 25degC..

[expresso]

 
actually agreed with some guys here on quality that cars made in japan (final assembly) are different from thais...
u will appreciate the difference..
** no offence to those bros' cars made in thais..

[kenmaine1008]

made in japan + assemble in japan = worth it

that's my personal opinion.. hee..

no offence too~!

[NSman]

made in japan + assemble in japan = worth it

that's my personal opinion.. hee..

no offence too~!

But........ made in japan, assemble in japan.... also got many problems... defact items, re-calls & irritating noise in cabin.... why??

[expresso]

tats normal for some defects due to manufacturers found out defective lots from the electronics output.
At least they have the corporate social responsibility to do recall..
here i suppose we are referring to the worksmanship and some other quality comparisons..

if you have old folks with weak knee, Latio rear door design and the seat height is the best you can find within the same cat.

[Zippy]

Seriously, no such thing as a perfect product. Everything has it's pros & cons. i even saw a million dollar lambo breakdown at Novena... At the end of the day, you just have to decide which car suits your needs best. We can only share with you the pros & cons of Latio as we drive this car.

For me, i love my Latio!

Totally agreed, I have experience this with comparison to Honda Civic rear door.
