Toyota Corolla Axio (Parallel Imported)

Had this car for about a week now, so would like to write some comments on it.

Love this car! My previous car was the Axio 1.5X, so in the 2015 edition, there is definitely some major improvements. Pick up is certainly much better, and my mechanic was saying that Corolla FINALLY had a new engine. In engineering terms, it now uses the Atkinson cycle instead of the Otto cycle, which results in even higher efficiency. Read: They boast fuel economy of 23.4 km/l.

When my dad's Vios COE was going to expire after 10 long years, we went searching for a new car. We loved the vios and went around to ask about it.

After finding out that BM wasn't going to carry anymore Vios, we went around asking what other cars were available.

Was recommended the Axio. The agent showed us the new model and I fell in love with it. The new facelift was awesome. Despite being a 1.5 car, it was so much more spacious than the Vios. We were given an upgrade to leather and sports rims, but we decided to do up the leather on a later date.

Car is spacious. Those who wish to know how spacious, you can get the yellow top taxi, most of that company uses Axio in their fleet. There is a lot of leg room that my family was really wondering if it really is a 1500cc car.

Every time I look at a Corolla Axio, I can't help but notice that it looks very timid, tired and dated. It was a pleasant surprise to see this new facelift of the Axio.

At first look, the new Axio features extensive exterior and interior styling upgrades. The Axio appears to have put on its big boy pants and is ready to contend against its bigger brother, the Allion.

If you're in the market for something sportier and more aggressive then please look away. However, if what you want is something really bang for buck, practical and reliable, then please continue.
