Tiida vs Altis

[caliph tec]

The Corolla Altis is basically a USDM Corolla with a 3zz engine (the intake VVTi version) of the coveted 2zz-ge albeit with narrow angle valves and without the forged pistons, crank and connecting rods.

Although built in Thailand and shipped to Singapore, I reckon the quality is far superior to any Japanese made Tiida Latio. The HR15DE and HR16DE is simply no match for a 1NZ-FE and 3ZZ-FE respectively.

The interior of the Altis is more pleasing to the eye than a Tiida which like the Versa has to be one of the ugliest cars out there.

let me add something here,it has power windows in front an f-in manual windows in d back an uh paying 140somting 4 it

Altis bai

[Mercenary]

Know a few people with altis and nze corollas for years, never had to change a part, and it took a lil extra searching to find parts in bamboo bcuz they wanted spares bcuz 5-6 years passed without changing parts, but the parts were obtainable.

Altis or NZE hands down.

This!

You will be able to find parts for the Tiida every 5 houses down though.
Engine and Body parts will be very very cheap and easy to find.

If you have the dinero go with the Altis,

Thats because the altis wont require parts!

A concept nissan owners fail to realize

ever had problem with your fuel system...........
know a few people that encountered problem with their's (Altis)
one owner got frustrated and sold his (now driving a new model corolla)

i would like 2 see which car does not required parts from time 2 time
whether is ferrari, mazda, toyota, nissan, mitsubishi etc

Nope, thats the current price, just two months ago a "head & block" for the HR15 was purchased from bamboo for a cool $1800.

I agree that the suspension is better
but the durability and overall performance is not necessarily better

btw i drive the same car that once took me to school (B14)
next year she will be 20 and works great
because of the money i saved because parts cheap and nothing significant went wrong
I was able to save for what I really wanted ..............another NISSAN product

Yup, I stand by my prices above.............just played fast and called and got a complete engine (HR15) for 6K
And by complete I mean everything except the transmission which can be added for a mere 2K.

Nissan affordability you just can't beat.

[cinco]

I have 2 nzes in my stable and gf moms has one my neighb has one in fact there are 8 nzes in my neighbourhood. Ac compressor went on one and alt bearing was makin noise on the other other than that no other maintenance needed. Nze is the king of the road for reliability

D affordability is another topic for discussion. Because if u buy parts every 2 yrs (eg Rack ends)for your Nissan but buy the same part for your toyota every 5-6yrs for twice the price den the affordability statment could be argued. Aslo as u stated the Toyota ride is superior so u would be gettin an added bonus with the longevity of the parts.
Oh Yea! I had a B15 as well.

[TeamH2O]

QUESTION IS, HOW WELL WILL YOU MAINTAIN YOUR CAR???? That basically determines if you will be needing parts like head and block etc.

[moti]

Also where you buying parts.........

Cause if you buying those parts that are not original, then you will be changing the same part regularly.
Original cradles, shock mounts, ends and others purchased by "The Motorist" lasts 50,000 Kms or more with the B15 & B14 we have/had respectively.

Original parts are the life of your car.

Which ideally, should be a benchmark for gas mileage and durability.

Tiida Hatch > Altis

[joe_d_boss]

Altis for sure bro. There is not even a question in my mind about it. The Altis runs on a lower octane level. I believe the Tiidas require premium, even though I have seen a lot of people use super in it, but I could only imagine that this isn't healthy in the long run. The Altis' suspension is superior to that of the Tiida's as well. They both feel great on the road; however, you will find yourself change cradle arm bushings and other little suspension parts on a regular basis with the Tiida as compared to almost never with the Altis.

Anyways, let us know what you decided and give us some feedback after you purchase.

I had a 2005 Corolla NZE local which was doing over 200,000 km. Apart from the usual maintenance parts like brakes and that same V-belt, all I ever changed were two tie rod ends (rack ends), and that was close to the 200,000 km mark. I ended up getting in an accident February gone and sold the car and bought the newer model.
