Though people try to downgrade non-japanese/euros, reality is quite different. For example Korean Vehicles. I used a SSangyong Korando for 6 years and sold few days back. The vehicle did not trouble me at all, given services, gear oil changes, fuel filter change were done timely. Though I did not earn a profit by selling the vehicle I fully enjoyed its use during past 6 years. Frankly, it gave less troubles than the Honda Fit we use as our second vehicle......
The problem of Sri Lankans is expecting unbreakable vehicles and considering the purchase of vehicle as a profitable investment!!!!!. We have totally got used for second hand/recondition parts from Japan for repairs and consider the use of a Genuine part as a burden.
