    This page can help you:
    motioncars.com | Toyota Corolla Altis (2001 - 2008)

    Basically, ABS/EBD, driver's airbag, body-colored exterior bits, MID, and keyless entry.

    Just take note that the possible "sakit" of the Altis 2001 - 2007 is engine sludge build-up. This happens to units that do not have their oil changed regularly (every 5,000kms), even if they use synthetic oil. When searching, look for a unit whose owner can provide records that he regularly services the cars. We have a 2007 Altis J with almost 120,000kms on the odo and with the regular oil change, it's running with no problems.

    Easiest way is to open up the valve cover or do a inspection through the oil cap.

    A compression test also helps check overall health of your engine.
