I desperately am. ? My car being a 2011 RalliArt, doesn't have the factory wiring for the automatic headlight levelling system (projector headlamps were not offered on the Australian RalliArt after 2010. Neither was the sunroof). So I can't install the OEM projectors unless I do some serious wiring mods which I am not too keen on doing. I've had a look into replica "OEM" projector headlamps as well, but didn't bite the bullet yet. My advice for you would be to keep the original projector headlights and take care of them as if though they're your own eyes. ? True, there are pretty cool looking aftermarket headlights with daytime running LEDs built in and so on, but from what I gather from local communities, the OEM projectors are damn good. So what most people end up doing is custom mods on the OEM lights where they open up the housing, black out the inside and install angel eyes, DRLs and so on. There are even aftermarket inserts that go in the OEM housing (see video below). Lights from companies like MARS are apparently very weak at night with poor light output. There are good ones out there though. Ones with sequential turn signals which really makes the car look unique. Talking about sequential turn signals, this is the one of the nicest aftermarket tail light I've seen for the car. ?

The 1.3L Vitz is a nippy little car to drive though....

But please do remember that the 1L engine in the Vitz is somewhat of a lazy grumbly dog. The 1.3L Vitz (or 1.5L) is a lot lot lot better. 1.3/1.5 will be a little bit lesser fuel efficient than the 1L variant, but it (1.3 and 1.5) is totally worth it as it is a completely different car that is much nicer to drive.

The Tiida is more Renault Nissan than a proper Nissan - i've heard of various little niggles including the air conditioning Why not the Vitz? It'll have all the Toyota reliability and re-sale value going for it but be newer than the Vios The Axela is good proposition but is unlikely to return the kind of fuel figures some of the others will To be honest all your choices are pretty solid - what will set them apart would be the actual specimen Look for proper maintenance records - not just oil changes done at the agent - but actual bills and receipts for consumables like brake pads etc etc - the quality of the parts used and the place where the work was done will tell you a lot about how the owner has treated the car. Get it scanned for errors and inspected for accident damage too

It’s just a battery, the volts They hold and amps they put out and charge aren’t Japanese, these aren’t even questions to discuss. Jap batteries are Not designed for our climatic variations either there are Importers who take advantage of people and sell Japanese brand new batteries at insane amounts, don’t go all ocd looking for a Japanese battery, and pay premium, and its not the start stop model even right? just go with a popular brand here, they all work manage 2 to 4 years based on usage. personal experiences, Exide works well, Amaron even better, Panasonic expensive but good. spend that money on an oil change

I knew im the only one who has this trouble

Or you could use spray wax. No buffing or streaking. Works just as fine as paste wax, you'll have to wax a tad bit more frequently though.

Effin' pickup driver reversed onto the rear bumper while I was parked ??? Luckily the damage is minor, I'm on two minds whether or not to get the bumper repainted or leave it as it is
