IMO great car with good handling ,comfort and smooth performance BUT sourcing spares- even a fuse- in SL will be a nightmare. Not to discourage you but my own experience. -
MG, Chery, Proton vehicles to be assembled in Sri Lanka
wolseley replied to Skyonline's topic in General Automotive
There are number of assembly plants coming up. Mostly for motor cycles and scooters. The govt policy is to encourage the value addition in Sri Lanka so that to set off excise duty proportionate to the value addition. Tyres, battery, seats etc. are locally sourced and in some light trucks bucket and silencer are also manufactured here. There are plans to get down bare body to paint here. So hope this policy stay for a while to establish an industry. -

It was a brougham actually but the badge was 'Cedigham' imported by agent for a minister. -

I really agree with Magnum. Y33 was the most comfortable car I have ever used. It does not matter how long the journey when you are in it. But to mention ground clearance is quite low so that you hardly can go out of tarmac. The following was taken near Kotmale Area about 7 years back. Isn't she a beauty? -

Sorry dear. It is not a Vauxhall.

KIA Sportage 2011 vs Toyota RAV4 2009
wolseley replied to malith piyumal's topic in General Automotive
No experience about KIA but as an user of 2009 RAV4 it is a very reliable machine for me and comfort of course OK. Fuel economy is about 8- 11 depending on the traffic but for an engine of 2.4 it's fair enough as to my opinion. Great pulling but not very fancy interior though. This is purely my views -
Here we go. In this model car I got my driving test on Ratnapura New Town. Examined by great classic car enthusiast late Mr. Tilney L Peiris.😊

Skoda Octavia I guess

When it comes to genuine parts I can recommend AISIN and SEIKEN brake components from the two famous importers from Panchikawatte since I've seen the original shipping docs coming from Japan. sorry if I am violating any forum rules here.
