To Improve
-Keep abreast to new engine tech. Though still the best-selling model overall in the world, but sales of recent years is dropping and losing to competitors.
-New model E210 still using the same 2ZR-FE engine. Time to upgrade!
-For UMW Toyota Malaysia, switching emphasis on Corolla Cross SUV is a good commercial choice, but sentimentally bad. SUV is known to have lesser fuel efficiency. Definitely a Sedan Hybrid would have better fuel efficiency.
Yes, I would recommend this car
