  1. So missed me much @trinity? Been following this thread for a while now. The only problem I've been having was the shortage of popcorn at times.

  2. Here are my experience when I had the Viva Elite 5spd manual; 1. Fuel consumption, - I got 14kmpl on my daily commute from Kelaniya - Dematagoda 2. repair cost & parts availability, - I had to replace the windshield due to a rock hitting and the parts were available right away at Unimo Orugodawatta. Insurance claim was really easy, Unimo did all the coordination with SL I******* (estimate, payment). All I had to do was give the car around noon day 1 and collected the car next day morning. 3.general issues, - 1. The only concern I had was ground clearance of the front bumper. You need to be extra careful. 4. Present market value. 6. Reselling ability - When I sold it I sold it 1.5 lakh over brandnew price and it was really quick. 7. Is low milage (less than 20,000km) elite good than high milage japan car for same budget?? - Atleast for engine components it has Daihatsu_EJ-VE engine so I would guess I would be reliable as any other Jap in general.

  3. The fact that Sri Lankans consider the Allipn/Premio 260 "Premium" just makes me want to go on a bloody rampage and makes me have no hope for SL... No..Allion/Premio is a large-sized compact car that is designed to get you from A to B economically with modest creature comfort . Toyota's entry level premium car is/was the Camry, Mark X (and perhaps the actual 2.0L Premio G range..which didn't sell well as people went for the Mark X instead).

  4. That is because in Sri Lanka you only get the cheapo version with the 1L engine. It is sad that in SL Vitz is judged by this variant which comes with an engine that is older than the model itself. I thikn he meant...in a Vitz you feel more car than in a Wagon R.... as for presence...Toyotas and 99% of Japanese cars are not made for road presence...it goes against the Japanese way of doing things. The Vitz can stand out if you get the right one...but even then...you will not know what you are looking at unless you know what you are looking at (which is what goes with Japanese way of doing things...even the Skyline....normal people will not know what it is and think it is a normal little coupe' ...I guess the exception would be the new Supra, only because it is horrendous)

  5. I'm yet to experience that. In fact I haven't felt any jerks in my CVT (hope no aswaha katawaha ) But again as I mentioned above sometimes I do feel the gear is engaged when putting to R if you pay attention but it's not a jerk. Felt same in previous Vitz also.

  8. I don't think there are many of those, it's a select few who get down manuals in the first place, take the new Civic for example. No one's importing the 6spd manual version, there might be 5 of them at the best in the whole country
