  1. I tried to negotiate few 2017 SWIFTs into my budget. Most of the specimens are quoted 6.5m+. Anyway overall nice package though. Thank you again for cleaning many of my dobuts man. 👌
  2. Thanks for the comprehension man.In this case, I am leaning towards the FIT GP5. Currently using a third gen Prius 😑
  3. The sporty handling is less priority in this case as basically this is driven by wife, she doesn't cross the 50-60kmph mark anyway though. Very calm and soft driving style. My initial thought was that, Vitz is better in department of refinement of the ride, especially for rear seat passengers as specifically expected in this use case. Any thoughts guys ?
  4. Looking for a comfortable hatchback car to take kids home from school on weekends. The drive is 130kms from kandy to North central province through paved but twisty road including Hunnasgiriya, and 18 bends. one up and down trip per week (Less than 1200kms /month). Usually this journey induce vomiting on kids and it's quite difficult to complete without medications. Have a budget upto 5-6M and my main concern is comfort. since driving in remote roads, a common car easy to maintain would be ideal. Sedans are out of the equation due to parking space limitations. Have few choices in mind, if someone with first hand experiences would enlighten about comfort and ride quality, It would be a great help. ( Vitz 2016, Stingray 2018, Moda Passo 2017, Aqua 2014, Fit GP5 2015, Viva Elite 2013 ) .
  5. Looking for customising a gift car to family member. specially some emblems to be changed. you guys know any place to do the job? . I tried 3d painting a customised name, but the outcome is in black colour. I want the final to be chrome plated. Any leads guys ?
  6. It's 10000km between oil changes if you use fully synthetic oil
  7. Go for Mobil 0w40, they are even better than castrol
  8. No doubts. It's loan. Easy to early settlement. Less documents. Vehicle ownership is yours. You can sell the vehicle as you need when upgrade.
  9. To add up for the comparison. I have used both allion 1500 and 3Rd gen prius. Prius is way more ahead in acceleration department. Probably due to support from electric motor. People who complain about prius may be driving on eco mode. There's a power mode button on every prius.and pressing it awake the magic. In the expense of very low fuel figures.
  10. Can somebody post the link of mydeal for california perfume. Couldn't find it
  11. I can't exactly tell what's the going price now. But it's coming very hard to see good condition 2C beacuse it is very old by now. You are looking at 200-350k depending on the condition. And,later Caldinas came with 2C-TE and 3C-TE engines. Which are much more refined and fuel efficient. Non turbo 2C will spoil your whole car experience due to no acceleration at all. This range of 2c engines were there at carina/corona/corolla /noah/light ace/town ace and various models. Sourcing a one would not be that harder. Make sure to get all the stuff including wire harness.
  12. That S line is overpriced and sellers is short term owner for less than few months. This been advertised for long time since last year and somebody caught into the trap. Now he's willing to dispose with some profit, I smell fish, stay away
  13. I do travel on particular piece of Road twice a month.and for some unknown reason the potholes were patchworked by someone earlier. Currently it seems not happening,the road is still great, unless there are some unexpected massive potholes which can break your suspension. Road seems neglected on maintainance,I can list numbers of roads now going on zero maintenance, don't know how it happens, but it happens.
  14. Raja mawatha Road is one of the most beautiful pieces of Road that I have seen in Sri Lanka, other one is Mahaoya - maduruoya stretch.spectacular view with elephants. Regarding Raja-mawatha, there are Wild elephants but they are so friendly. No direct attacks, such hungry animals though. PS-there are few large potholes on the road recently.maintenance have been abandoned by YAHAPALANE people. Go there quickly beacuse it's going to be bad Road soon and that is some spectacular view you get in SL.
