the problem is that the car was designed for use with ABS. however, here in this bloody country, in order to categorize the xli, gli and 2.0D as a basic car, they strip it of all such features. airbags, ABS etc. heck, even the tail break light between the speakers!
however, the problem was fixed in 2007, when the model with the new tail lights came. they gave even the xli 4 wheel discs, and braking and grip was a lot better.
before buying the rolla, i test drove a 2003 model xli. hated the hard clutch and the front disc-rear drum combination that made the car wheels jam like a screw driver was stuck in the rims. but the clutch is a lot more softer and the gearbox is much more easier, and kinda more powerful when shifting, in the later models with the now-old shape.
for both of u, here's a trick... trying loosening the brake pads a bit from the brake discs.. this was a feature in the international model for quick braking, since ABS would stop the wheels from jamming. without ABS, the car is like its on ice. i'll ask dad the detailed procedure and let u guys know how to get better braking..
baqi grip is good on the rolla. try turning at a high speed or cutting. the car maintains very good control. we often mistake the tyre jamming for bad grip. its just a lack of the basic infrastructure that the car was built to function with.
the new model lumbers in the 1.3 litre category. the body is too heavy for it, plus its longer, wider, and lower.
xli's are having a run for their money, with ZERO own  i paid 80k on mine.
however, the gli with ABS, EBD and full colours is faring better, with an 85k own.
Toyota knows people will buy the rolla even if it is a donkey dragging a cart with a toyota logo.
and they exploit this to their maximum benefit.
sowie for the long post. so sup? |

No the problem is more severe on the 2.OD. Even if i do a quick turn at 50-60 the car will mostly skid on straight, not that straight, but there will be a certain amount of skid that even my ALTO doesnt have!! I think its because the body was designed for a patrol engine and since the diesel engine is 2x heavier, it ruins the balance.
Also, all XLis had 4 wheel disk brakes from the very beginning.

check that out. New price of Alto is 7lakh and for cultus its 9lakh.
I remember buying my 2001 2.OD Limited in 2003 for 9 lakh. I can sell it now and get an Alto

no bro, earlier rollas had a disc drum combi..
and the rolla body was designed for a 1.8 litre engine, and a 2.4 litre loaded one..
is a diesel engine heavier than these two? 
i have no experience of a diesel engine apart from a friend's 2.0D saloon 2006 model, that had the same acceleration as my baleno on my petrol
prices are really up these days. i mean, a cultus for 9lakh!
though here it is around 8,35.. or maybe that's without own? |
