The front part of the car is supposed to be softer so that when u crash, more of the impact is absorbed thus preventing u from being thrust forward with high velocity... plus the fact u also duno know how fast and from what angle did he crash into the railing... hence the accident does not tell much... If u actually wanna compare, honda civic is even softerOriginally posted by 2004Lancer:Thai made cars are really not worth $73000....
The other day saw an self-bang accident along PIE near Jalan Bahar......the VIOS 2/3 engine + bonnet gone as a result of the freak crash into the expressway side railing....
Remember what I mentioned the other day? listen to the 'piang' sound when u close the car boot......very hollow leh......

IMO, the Vios, Altis and Corolla sacrifies safety for leg room, cabin space etc. [b]The door panels are relatively thin compared to the Nissan Sunny etc, and although the result is a more comfortable ride, i'd be scared stiff if i get kissed in my sides etc. Not that i wouldn't be if i were in another car, but i'd be especially scared if i were in a Toyota[/b]
I doubt mercur|al's words though... Altis has got more leg room and cabin space bcos of its longer wheel base and its widenessOriginally posted by quek:really![]()
The thickness of the door panels will only differ in terms of mm, won't make a diff in the space. Have u ever dismantle your door b4? It could be the area inside the door (where e speakers, switches, etc are) that is more compact in a Altis that's why it has more spaceOriginally posted by mercur|al:I'd say there's not much difference in specs.
Overall width (mm) 17.05m
Wheelbase (mm) 26m
This is for the toyota corolla altis.
Overall width 16.95m
Wheelbase 25.35m
That's a relatively small difference, but it feels completely different driving and sitting in a corolla Altis and a Nissan Sunny. I drive a sunny, and sit/drive an Altis quite often. IMO, the thickness of the door panels is the difference.
I think you got ur measurement decimal places wrong.Originally posted by mercur|al:I'd say there's not much difference in specs.
