I am locking this thread simply because DFSK 580 is being glorified on another thread.

Why deleted?

Go to the Wagon R club Facebook group and look for a ‘meet up’ video Thank me later!

Belta : *Japan Domestic Model * Interior is supposed to be better *some say the car is comfier than the Yaris. *CVT gear box * Supposed to have better fuel economy over the Yaris. * Some Belta's don't even have the tachometer (RPM meter in Kohuwala terms) . Yaris : * Is the export variant and always comes with the 1.3 L engine *The car has more ground clearance and made of more durable material to survive the perceived harsh conditions locally present. *Fuel economy is supposed to be a little worse than the Belta. *Yaris were imported brand new for permits 10 years ago - there are both Auto and Manual variants. Now that these cars are 10+ years old fuel figures may vary - i.e you could find a Belta that does worse than a Yaris and vice versa. There are many B/New Yaris still with the first owner with verifiable service records and all maintained at agents so the chance of finding a well maintained Yaris is higher than a Belta. Also due to public perceptions the Belta 1.3's are priced higher than Yaris usually What I'd do if I were you : Look for both cars - buy one with a good maintenance history, apparent honest seller and good condition irrespective if it's a Yaris or a Belta. Avoid 1.0 L Beltas. Also I wouldn't pay extra for the Belta over a Yaris. If manual is ok with you Manual Yaris are going for pretty low prices.

The manufacturer has not asked you to use the more expensive stuff, so save your money,./ All you need to do is to change your mind-set. as you car was designed for regular juice. Wishing you happy and cheap motoring,.. TT.

Dear friend, DFSK580 is not just another Chinese Vehicle- that is the case . Dong feng chinas one of the largest car spare manufacturers who make parts for many vehicles including Honda ! . How can one predict how long this vehicle going to last when this vehicle was in srilanka only for just a little more than a year? Some said the same thing for Japanese vehicles when it was first brought to srilanka!( many were not born then!) yes I agree 22 Laks now is much worth than after few years !! That is the case . One puts 22laks today for the vehicle as an so called investment to get that back after few years!! And opportunity cost is not the time you waste when the vehicle is not running ( if there will be such time - people are so negative minded!) but the time one is waiting to buy a “great “ vehicle which will be a good investment! Better to go by bus and buy some gold! my dear friend has lot of good vehicles at very cheap prices A Mercedes at a price of Corolla! High safety Japanese vehicles at cheep Indian car prices... may be I also should change my mind?
