Axela,
Better built quality. (it is a Japanese domestic vehicle.)
1500cc engine is capable of producing 114hp.
practically it does 8-10km/l urban and 12-14km/l extra urban. Depends on how you drive.
Manual transmission car will be better than above figures.
3,
1600cc car produce around 106hp but has more torque than 1500cc car.
fuel economy is bit more better than axela.
Corner killer handling performance, brilliant stopping power,
highly reliable car according to forums.
A 2003 axela/3 always outlooks 2010 corolla/axio.
If you are a guy, get a axela/3 else you can go for a boring, ugly corolla
