  1. Why does the Civic 2017 + depreciate so much, I saw cars that came 7mil plus now at 5s, the hatchback liftback model.

    it ain’t hybrid, I’ve not heard horror stories of them breaking.

    are they slow? So much room in the back as well

      Interesting take on the Premio/Allion effect...but I don't think it is just the Toyota badge (that is only about 70% of the impact). The Premio/Allion, with its soft cushion like  suspension is a lot more comfortable than the Civic with its slightly firmer setup. In fact the Premio is quite soft and smooth in terms of its ride when comparing it with many other cars in the market. Sri Lankans like a cloud like suspension...anything a bit firm and sporty they start complaining.  Yes the Premio/Allion is running on 15 year old tech...which I believe is another reason why Lankans go for it. They simply do not trust the new tech to be serviceable cheaply and properly (cheaply being the key word). We Lankans quite happily turn a blind eye towards safety features, eco and other new tech. The only time Sri Lankans jumped in for new tech in herds was with Hybrids and that was mainly because it was dirt cheap compared to gasoline equivalents. 

      So why do people go for the 1.2T Toyota ? Well..because of the badge.

      @iRage Totally agree with you mate. Adding a little about 1.2T Toyota: When people became aware of the Vezel’s DCT replacement, there were no other alternatives than the CHR(while the CHR being a bit smaller). Most people who were dreaming of owning a Vezel, went for CHR extending their budgets. A person I know did the same thing?

      Actually the C-HR is bigger than the Vezel when it comes to actual dimensions .Only the boot area is less due to the sloping roofline.
