i'm still here.

I bought my prius with the help of kotmale traders. but i don't think they are doing business anymore and frankly i'm not recommending them as well. Auction site that i have used is http://singaporemotors.net/

I have used V!P,OnTheSp0t and Motor+ Which one has the best service - all three was fairly ok to deal with Which one gives you the lowest rate - lowest was the OnTheSp0t and then Motor+. V!P was bit expensive Which one gives you the hassle free claim process - V!P and OnTheSp0t was better than Motor+ You can get few qutoations before you buy anything by requesting qutoation by an email. Most of them do reply immediatly. or you can find a insurance agent, then they get you the best rates + hassle free claims.

na.. more than 1 year I guess. Saw the 1st Aqua for sale in AL on April 2012.

If you are thinking about resale value, fuel economy, engine capacity, and leg space then it'll be Toyota Aqua it is.

I have a vitz 2008 model. I was about to buy a passo at that time and changed my mind after getting in to a one. I think IST and FIT build quality and durability is much higher than a passo. Better to go for a 1.3cc than a 1.0cc according to my experience.

Model: Toyota Prius Manufactured year: 2010/10 Engine Capacity : 1800cc Fuel type : Petrol (95) Transmission Type : Automatic Economy : City limits - 16-18 km/l (Power Mode:ON) Out stations 20-22 km/l (Power Mode:ON)

mine does 11-12 in colombo and 13-14 outstation. but as a 1000cc vitz owner, i feel like 1300cc would do a better job than 1000cc. anyway it's all depending on your budget. shoot anything that you want to know about 1000cc vitz (not too tech stuff, geranal things ), glad to help.

Hi Guys, Since you are talking about KP Jaela, How about the CP Jaela which is inside the reality plaza car park. any comment on that. Coz i'm searching for a good place too... Thanks Shihan

Never tried... getting ages to pick-up... so I planned to stick to the power mode.

Hi Guys, Sorry for the long silence... Got it end March, now I have used it nearly 5months. Fuel consumption is 18-19 in the city and 20-21 in the long run in "Power Mode". I have nearly done 5000KM for the past 5months. Pretty satisfied with the comfort and the fuel consumption.

Still on the way... It might take another 2-3weeks...

Thanks rover! Lucky USD is bit low these days. I'm doing the payment tomorrow. Will see how it goes... Thanks Californikan! Will do for sure...

Thanks guys, really appreciate your inputs... So I decided to go for the Toyota Prius... Today Morning I bought a "Toyota Prius S TOURING SELECTION 2010/09" from a Japaneses auction... Will let you know the pros and cons in few weeks time...

Any inputs from insight owners...? I saw some banners + few latest insight models in one of their showroom (near baseline road; near welikada prison)... seems like they are launching it officially...

Vehicle : Toyota Vitz Transmission Type : Automatic Engine Capacity : 1000cc Fuel : 90 Octane Km per Ltr (city/long distance) :10-12 / 12-15

Is Toyota Lanka doing services and inspections on hybrids. Once I saw a paper advertisement saying they won't be able to help hybrid users since they don't have the trained mechanics and so on. Good to know that things have changed...

Will do rover. Thanks for your time.

hmmm...

You have a point mate. But is it necessary to change the battery or just assuming?

The Don: Thanks for the info and the link... Link is very useful indeed! rover: Thanks for sharing your experience, may I ask what are the few issue that they have?

Hi all, Need your expert ideas on this. Planning to get a hybrid(Prius Gen-3 or Insight 2010), need to know which one is better? Key areas; Fuel Consumption Maintenance cost Safety and Performance Availability of spare parts Re-sale value Know issues (If any) Thanks in advance!

Recently went to Badulla via Raja Mawatha and came back via Nuwara Eliya with four ppl + baggage... fual consumption was well over 14km/l... Pulling power is ok when it's climbing... but prefer bit more... If you're a regular traveller go for the 1.3, it should be much more powerful than 1.0...

Agreed with "The Don"; I myself is a 1000cc Vitz owner and I'm travelling 40KM per day in heavy traffic, I don't mind the pulling power since most of the time I'm stuck in the traffic. And it does 10-12 per liter. Once I have driven my Vitz in E01 and I felt like if there is more power it would be great. Nevertheless, I managed to keep the 100KM/h throughout my journey. (with 4people + trunk full of bags) So if you are planning to take your vehicle daily in heavy traffic, I suppose you’ll happy with 1000cc… But Note that the maintenance cost of a Vitz is bit more expensive than the other cars in that range.

Option 2
