    Power folding side mirrors is only available in the 2.0v.

    Aside from what you mentioned, here are the others I can think of:
    - rear sunshade (manual)
    - push button start or smart key
    - rear disc brakes
    - push button trunk release (the one on the outside)
    - beige interior
    - front and rear sensors

    Here are my comments thinking practical-wise:
    - mags. 16 inch have better looks, but mags are easy to replace.
    - side skirt. Good looks but a little hassle going down the car when the skirts are dirty.
    - gauges. So-so.
    - rear sunshade. Very useful for me
    - rear discs. There's nothing wrong with rear drum brakes of the G, the car will still stop. But having rear discs is better.
    - trunk release. Nice to have.
    - smart key. Definitely a bug plus in everyday living.
    - beige interior. Pain in the butt when not maintained properly
    - front and rear sensors. Nice to have.

    This is pretty much spot-on. If i were springing for an Altis now, with all the discounts, Id probably consider the V or a TRD G. To give an idea, i spent roughly 50K on my 1.6E to upgrade it to the way i wanted. Thats for the 17 inch OEM Toyota mags (hard to find) plus tyres, 2.0 grille, fog lamps, RFL, and multimedia HU amongst some. If i had those discounts and the TRD version given today, i'd probably go for the TRD followed closely by the V.
