  1. Once in a while, an entertainer shows up in the forum saying how extraordinary a particular vehicle model is....There was Crisco Nihal, the kid who tried to sell his dad’s Cefiro and now this DFSK guy??? I really love to enter into conversation with those people??Thanks for giving us enjoyment??

      Here's the Crisco thread if you're bored read this - comedy gold. This is from 2009 10 years ago... I joined the forum in 2012 if i remember and somehow someone mentioned this and was one of the first threads i read beginning to end. 

       PS: NOw I have a craving for some Krisco....dammit ?

      Guys, its getting really tiring to see thread after thread, post after post of people asking about the fuel consumption of this and that car model.

      My advise is if you have to worry about how much your car is doing on gas, sell the bloody thing and take a bus!

      If not just look after your car properly, pump the specified fuel, stop pouring in all the muck you see at 3am on As Seen On TV in to you engine and just enjoy your vehicle.

      A 2-4 Km per liter difference will not make you a happier human being, especially when you are stuck in Colombo traffic during the school rush on a hot day with AC full on!

      Cars on SL roads average 6-12 Km/l if your car is within that range, shut up and drive.

      Like I said, if you have sleepless nights over this minor issue, sell the car and bus it!

      this comment by @VVTi on crisco nihal thread is the most valuable note for anyone looking for a car. If you love and value your ride and take good care of it, that's all that matters. Resale value, should it be a high priority, will hold reasonably irrespective of the fuel economy if the car is well taken care of and in good nick. Just my thought :)

      But the fun is unlimited all through the thread. :D

      I totally agree with you Avante about the Swift. I haven’t driven the your generation (what they used to call beetle model) but the older gen (jeep model?) is driven frequently. Really fun to drive. Nimble and easy. I hope the newer one is miles better than those mainstream Toyotas to “drive”.
