  1. if you ask these questions, just buy a used vitz or wagon-R.
  2. even running a Jap car would be difficult if not for our network of Folks staying legally and illegally in Japan, who are sending body parts and recondition parts for affordable prices compared to the agents
  3. 100k for a condenser? Original or no-brand? Any changes of performance after switching to cheaper gas? It seems the two gases operate at different pressures..
  4. exactly, so its not suitable for this test with 2.2L¬3L common engines. But only 276HP, really?
  5. The Toyota 2.8L produces only 170hp and 450NM while the VW with 3L provides 260HP and 580NM?
  6. what was the error code with imobilizer system? you should not just swap immobilizer control units. There is software with seedkey inside which is identical to the vehicle. your vehicle will not start unless the authentication of the immobilizer system with smart key is successful.
  7. Wonder why patriotic people like Japanese look for western names when naming their rides, only exception that comes to mind are "Ninja" and "Hayabusa"
  8. 2017/18 registered Hilux being advertised for 9-10 million, but can buy brand-new for 6million+ permit price now? I want be surprised if more Merc X-class and VW Amaroks are brought down now?
  9. is it true CC tax will be relaxed? petrol: uptp 1800 cc diesel upto 2300 cc EV upto 100kW
  10. I think medical undergraduates join as Lieutenants to the Army, but not sure about age limi or other professionals..
  11. it seems now it is cleared, under the Quadricycle category. Should be safer than a 3-wheeler or a bike which they want to replace, no ?
  12. yes they are quite older, finding spare parts and time fore repairs is a concern. Anyone has experience with the 4-wheeler from Bajaj, called "Cute" or something? Price, ride quality (compared to a 3-wheeler) etc
  13. not service, parts for workshop repairs (power train, chassis, steering, suspension, body parts)
  14. heard since recently that spare parts for Kia only available at the agent, not more in small businesses. same is valid for Hyundai?
  15. Daihatsu even going to offer 48V mild hybrid systems like Wagon-R soon, where as Toyota only has full hybrids in their lineup. I am quite sure it will be a hit here.
  16. @Roshan321yes, they CAN.? After realizing how desperate the Chinese car marketing guys in SL have become so that they even create fake profiles to pose as real users and upvote each others comments, I changed my idea to stick with good old Indian made for 2nd car. (first car will ALWAYS be a Euro)
  17. what about 5008? But is yet to prove how they will do in our climate.
  18. Exactly, doesn't that invalidate your allegations that we are Car sale mafia who hate all Chinese vehicles? If your analyze deeply why the resale prices of used Panda is close to Nano, despite the latter being much more inferior with fewer options, ride quality and looks, you will clearly realize there is a problem how Chinese cars perform in Sri Lanka conditions. IMO Chinese cars could succeed in Sri Lanka if they can provide a low-cost,hassle -free, cheap to maintain car that can compete with the Marutis. Car buyers prefer to stick to one OEM if they are satisfied with the first car, like how people upgrade from VW Polo (single man) to Golf (Couple) to Passat (Family with kids) over life time. PS: we have a Euro as first car, therefore the post was to look for a cheap and hassle-free 2nd car for short trips and usage in city traffic.
  19. Interesting, I guess this is the first MT from a regular Toyota model in a long time?
  20. Well you have the many traditional options for that price range. Resalable depends on how long you plan to keep it. If its a few years, I would stick to Toyota and avoid Hybrids. Otherwise if you want to be adventurous, http://autolanka.com/forums/topic/21020-dfsk-580/?page=8&tab=comments#comment-325705
  21. if I was going to buy a 5 year old car, I would stay away from the hybrid system related repairs or replacement headaches. Just look at how many Aquas are now coming in with the "ready-mode" problem.
  22. I second that!
  23. why is it less popular than Vitz?
