Having had the opportunity to drive both cars, Altis (current model, 1.8G) for 2 years and now driving Sylphy. I think both has it's pros and cons.
Altis
Pros: Softer suspension and able to absorb potholes and bumps better than Sylphy; Excellent fuel consumption (i.e. Avg: 11.9km/L for 80% city drive and 20% highway)
Cons: Limited leg room for the rear.
Sylphy
Pros: Much roomier and excellent rear leg room; Quieter than Altis.
Cons: Harder suspension and more body rolling; Higher fuel consumption for almost same horse power as Altis (i.e. Avg: 10.5km/L for 80% city drive and 20% highway)
Build quality for both cars are on par having Altis using more soft material for its dashboard. Finishing and fitting for Altis is slightly better.

Hi scenic,
Yes I did. I need bigger space. So naturally Sylphy is the best choice for its price.
How's your Altis going? Are you looking for Sylphy as well?

what are the dimensions for sylphy and altis?
Sylphy, Altis, Forte, Avante, Civic, Cruze, 308, Mazda 3, Lancer, to name a few are under the same Compact Car (Small Family Car - C-Segment) category...
Last time during visiting to a Nissan showroom, I thought the Sylphy was a Mid-Size Family Sedan (Large Family Sedan - D-Segment), but it's not...
Explanation here...

You could check out both Toyota and Nissan's website to compare their dimension. The interior of Sylphy is more spacious relative to Altis's and this is specifically significant on its rear leg room.
