It would certainly do 8-9kmpl in the city limits if not more

Why don't you go for a CS3? GP1 has an inherent oil burning issue

You have to open a new thread. Go to "car buying info" section http://autolanka.com/forums/forum/75-car-buying-information/ and click "Ask a question"

Jokes aside, congratulations m8! Seeing as you have a Demio in Sri Lanka I can totally see you buying this as a grocery getter for your wife (Although a VRX along with the RA would have made your garage look totally badass and drool-worthy)

You guys make me feel like I'm abusing the car by carrying 5 or more people on a frequent basis

Be as that may, remind me to not get on your bad side ?

Hope you're not talking out of experience

Here you go

The CS must be the most discussed car on AL forum. Here are 2 threads you might find useful: http://www.elakiri.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1882176 http://www.elakiri.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1882425

To me too... they don't have that attitude most auto-technicians seem to have, the notion that they don't have to listen to the customer or take his concerns seriously because they're the ones who have automotive degrees and overalls and the safety gear and whatnot. They are exceptionally open about what they're doing to our cars (they let you stay next to your car and observe everything) and what they're putting into our cars.

This is a "JDM" problem. I had the exact same issue back when I owned a Belta while a colleague who owned a Yaris claimed he never had this issue.

If you're planning a one-off trip, it's fine, you can manage 4 people in the back. If you're planning to buy a vehicle for a family of 6, NO, Premio isn't the vehicle you're looking for.

Any particular reason not to get the full service from UNIMO too? After the engine wash incident and threatening a customer with violence I thought people would avoid autom**aj like the plague

Thanks for sharing mate

Refer to your users manual and find the values for brake pedal free play and pedal-to-floor clearance when fully depressed. I don't think hybrid hub folk have that kind of information, just the gut feeling Here's how to measure it: (pedal reserve distance = pedal-to-floor clearance) Your users manual will list the values like this (differs from car to car so refer to your own users manual, this is how mine lists the specs)

Nice

? Love the pics... thanks for sharing! The fog light buttons on the center console, is it from the factory? Aren't the fog lights controlled by the stalk?

It would be great if they made the 121 and 240 too just for the SL market. Those are the "Deadpools" of the Toyota lineup - you just can't kill them even if you wanted to. I think the obsession for the Vitz and the Allion and Premio too stems up from their reliability

Yes you can't throw a Premio around like an aqua. Maybe because it is has a weight advantage + an electric motor to assist the engine

And I just wanted to make a joke ? But judging by the comments it's the normal behaviour of this particular CVT box.

Turns out, bugger had taken a friend's Civic for a ride and when he started driving his Allion again he felt the car is super slow. /s

I think the Premio comes with an electronic throttle control from the factory, AFAIK vehicles don't come with accelerator cables anymore

Consumables for the Emgrand were super cheap at the agent, IIRC a genuine oil filter cost less than Rs.1000, whereas mine cost 2273.00

Kyron too? Oh man.. I had the chance to drive a Geely Emgrand on a long journey recently and was quite impressed with what it offered for the price of it (3.1mil brand new!) The drive was enjoyable too. Steering was nice and meaty with minimal body roll compared to an Axio.
