I think it's pretty obvious that he's after the Altis (it's in the title). I'm just giving him options and info to make an educated decision, something that also helped us when we were about to buy a Fortuner but instead someone pointed us to a better choice 3yrs back.

Anyway, it's still up to him if he wants to settle with a car riddled with so many issues (as evidenced by several complaints in the altis thread).
