  1. Did not know these things. Thank you Jadey!
  2. Don, let me just say 'thank you' for taking you time to explain. I will give a search on "valve technologies and the impact of power to weight ratio on fuel economy". I'm not gonna say anything else because if I do, someone's gonna explode.
  3. Let me correct if I said it wrong earlier; what I meant was it is comparatively not as much fun as driving a demio. (Just my opinion) Don't you think I don't like my car! I love my car! <3
  4. Lol jdnet you just made my day! Thanks for your English lesson! Quite enjoyed it! English is not my first language and I'm happy to learn through mistakes. In your case I was stating the irony of calling someone imbecile (not to mention twice) and spelling it wrong. I wasn't being a grammer natzi like you. You are just too imbecile to understand that. I noticed still you missed some mistakes I've done. Find them and post if it makes you happy. lol I also found few mistakes you've done in your reply; but I'm not retard like you to correct others grammer mistakes in an auto forum. "Thamange ahe thiyena pol parale penne naha; anunge ahe thiyena pol kenda thamai penne" I disgust people like you!
  5. I know he went through all the trouble explaining it, and I thanked him for that! What else can I possibly do? Pay him a visit and give him a present? lol You may have more knowledge about vehicles than me.... but you should know calling others imbecile won't make you the smart one. (Btw it is not imbicile, it's imbecile. see....the irony! )
  6. Lol Calm down dude! I don't understand why people on this forum are so rude and aggressive. (Btw, you have been very helpful to me earlier and thank you for that) Not everyone are experts like you... (I know I'm not) I did not disagree with his technical facts. I was just stating what I know and what i think. Don't get so much offended by it. If there is something wrong with what I've said (which I don't think there is) just kindly correct it, otherwise leave it. Don't get so much offended and call others retarded mokey. It just shows your true colours.
  7. Thank you for your explernation. But, If we keep aside the technical stuff for a sec and have a look at the practial facts, do you think 1.3 does better on fuel in city limits than 1.0? As I've heard both does the same of 10-12kmpl. Correct me if I'm wrong. My 1000cc vitz did 16kmpl on my way to katharagama. (Not yet tested on city limits) I think it's pretty reasonable and can't imagine 1.3 will do any better.
  8. I had the same problem few weeks back. I went for vitz as I found a cheap deal.(32.25mil for a almost brandnew unreg 2010 ksp90 ) Just to help you, here are the facts I considered when I bought my car. These may not apply for the cars you are looking at. Vitz is more economical than demio. Vitz has more leg space than demio. Vitz has HID xenon lights and Demio doesn't (The one I looked at) Vitz has 8 air bags and demio has only two. (The one I looked at) Vitz has push start, keyless entry and Demio doesn't. (The one I looked at) Vitz has beige interior (The one I looked at) and demio has only black. (I prefer beige. Just my opinion) Vitz has lots of compartments (which are useful in daily use) to put stuff and demio's only glove compartment is just stupid and poorly made. Demio is way more powerful and fun to drive than the 1.0 vitz or even 1.3 vitz. Demio definetely has the better look. and there are small small stuff like... Demio has a RPM meter, the horn sounds nice etc. and I agree with the people how are saying vitz is just an "another car". It really is. Nothing much exciting about it. If I was in your situation I would definitely go for the demio considering the huge price difference of more than 700,000! Invest the remaining 700,000 in a FD and you can earn around 8,750 per month which you can spend on petrol!
  9. Just to give you guys an update on how it went..... Eventhough many of you suggested the "Marpa Foam Cleaner", it did not work for me. Tried applying it many times, but the stain was still clearly visible. I can say it cleared a little bit but I think even water could have done a better job. But the "Armorall multipurpose auto cleaner" (Third bottle from the right; in the above picture) did the job for me. FYI : I applied a little bit of the liquid and let it soak for 30 seconds and brushed it gently, then used tissues to clean it. Had to repeat the process many times until the stain was no longer visible. Then used a wet cloth and wiped the whole aria. After that I vacuumed it and let it dry for few hours. The result was quite satisfying!
  10. Hey guys, thanks for the tips! I went to the Arpico yesterday bought these products! (except for the three bottles on the left which I already had with me.) I'm thinking about using the "Foam cleaner" to clean the stain! It is the product jdnet suggested, isn't it? Anyone has any previous experience with any of these products?
  11. Thanks Jdnet! Will give it a try! I really appreciate you taking your time to reply! Your thread on "car detailing" is actually what encouraged me to try doing it myself! Keep up the good work!
  12. Thank you Jdnet! I will try it! Sorry for questioning, but are you sure it will not ruin my seat? Have you used it before?
  13. Thanks ShintaroX and Malaka2 for your reply! Yeah, I already gave a ring to Kleen Park..... They are closed on upcoming holidays and already booked for few days after! On top of that, they are a little bit pricy too! (The lady over the phone told me, they don't clean only the seats,so if I'm gonna get it cleaned by them, I will have to do a full interior cleaning which costs more than 5000 bucks!). That's why I considered doing it myself. Anyway thanks for warning me before I use some sort of bad liquid and ruin my seat.
  14. Hi, I recently bought a 2010 Toyota Vitz car. (was lucky enough to buy it few days before the tax hike!) But there is a big stain in the back seat (Seats are fabric). I've searched through the internet and found many people suggesting different kind ways to clean these kind of stains; but I'm not sure if I can find those liquids they used; over here . I just wish that it is some coffee,coke or something and not pee,vomit or remains of some weird Japanese porno! (If you have seen Japanese porn; you will understand what I mean lol ) So, to the question, please suggest me any cleaning equipment, liquid or any product that will help me get this stains off and please suggest a place to buy those products! Also, suggest me any other products which will help me clean the windshield,glasses,upholstery and carpets etc. Many Thanks!
  15. Thank you Sylvi Wijesinghe for your informative reply! I get what you are saying. But, not all of us has a big budget to go for a brand new Japanese car. So I guess I will have to take the risk and go for a car which they call as a "reconditioned" car. At least 75% of the vehicles you see on the road are reconditioned.(a guess) It can't be too bad right?
  16. I'm looking for a Mazda Demio and my budget is 2.5-3 mil. And I'm not really "bothered".....but you can say "concerned". I asked all my questions on a separate thread....but only one cared enough to answer! That's why I did not mention further details here. If you can.....please share your knowledge! Here is the link: Thank you!
  17. Agreed! I guess that's the way it is. None of the sellers can be labeled as "trustworthy", it all depends on the vehicle we buy. Anyway I will get some expert involved cause honestly I have no idea how to check the engine etc. Thank you for your reply
  18. Yes; you are absolutely correct! Condition of the car is all that matters. But, it's always better to go for a trustworthy seller, which gives you a peace of mind. Isn't it? For an example; even though you inspect the car before you purchase; you can't literally check every part of the car and you can't guarantee it's odometer is not backdated, it's history and documents are not fake etc... That's where sellers reputation comes in to the equation.... Please correct me if I'm wrong.
  19. Hello guys, I looked up some old posts, but couldn't find a thread dedicated to this topic. So I decided to open a new one. I'm not sure to what extent it is ethical to post names of car sales here, but it will definitely help new comers (like me) to not to get their hands burned by "kalukada" businessmen. Personally I want to know some details of reputed vehicle sales in SL as I'm searching to buy a car ASAP. As I've heard; some vehicle importers (even some reputed ones) buy damaged cars from auctions in Japan for a bargain price and repair them at their own garages in Japan, then import them to SL and sell them with a huge margin. (Not sure whether it is true or not) As we all know,almost every car sale in SL, rolls back odometer to get a good value to the car. Some, prints fake JAAI certificates and auction sheets. Seriously, are there any reputed trustworthy vehicle traders left? Share your thoughts and previous experiences!? Regards Have a good day!
  20. Hello guys, I'm planing on buying my first car; a 2009 (December) Mazda Demio. I have some questions in my mind. If you have enough time; please be kind enough to answer them. I already searched many previous threads, but couldn't find the exact answers I'm looking for. They may seem like stupid questions; please don't get all mad at me; (I've seen that attitude in previous threads) I'm a total stranger to these vehicle related stuff! Your kind assistance is highly appreciated. 1) I'm having a hard time deciding on whether to buy a car from a local car sale (Got a good deal for 2.9 Mil from a reputed vehicle trading company) or directly import one under my name. What do you guys think? What will be the cheapest option? (I won't be needing any assistance from a finance company) And if your answer is to go for importing under my name; i.I read I can only import vehicles which are only two years old; what do they mean by two years old? Do they mean since the year of made (YOM) or the year of registration of the car? ii.What will be the duty (Some rough figure will be okay) I will have to bear? iii.I have contacts in both Japan and UK; (Not in for business, they are there for education). Will they be able to send me a car? Which will be the cheapest; UK or Japan? iv.Please suggest (PM me) any reputed/trustworthy vehicle importers you know. 2) If you had to choose between Mazda Demio and Toyota Vitz; what would you choose? and why? (Your personal opinion) 3) Please comment on second hand market of this car. 4) Please comment on fuel economy of this car. (Compared to vitz?) 5) Are there any known issues of this car? 6) Will I be able to find spare parts of this car easily? Who is the agent for Mazda cars in Sri Lanka? 7) Any general info you think I should know? Thank you very much!!!!!! (For at least reading the whole thing) Regards! Have a good day!
