  1. C-NCAP is a scam, not even Chinese consumers trust them. It has nothing to do with Euro-NCAP. http://chinaautoweb.com/2011/01/is-c-ncap-a-scam/ we are more than willing to hear your own experience when you crash against a concrete wall at 50kmph after (if ever) you buy your awesome donkey?
  2. yeah right, we can't take it anymore. Tell me how and when we can meet, maybe we could have a ත්‍රීසම් විත් ද ඕසම් ඩොන්කී?
  3. because wife will be also driving it and will be used mostly for short trips in city traffic.
  4. Hey Guys, I am in the market looking for a 2nd car(Automatic) for about 1.5million. Came across Panda and Nano. which one can be recommended in terms of 1.parts availability 2.reliability 3.resale value 4.ride comfort w. 4 passengers 5. the newer the better I know Panda sucks in 1,2,3 and Nano in 4. But there are many Nanos in use as Rental cars, isnt it suitable for home use?
  5. wow, did they copy the face from the Donkey 580?
  6. again comparing building standards with Automotive standards, looks like a potential candidate for a dummy to be put on the first Donkey 580 to be crash tested according to Euro N-CAP?
  7. so this magic SUV is going to shutdown all the car mafia sales and make people dump their 20 year old Allions and Axios and line up in front of UML to beg to be on a 1 year waiting list to buy it? ? Do you even know if this vehicle has been put through a environment and road test in Sri Lanka? Is it a tropicalized version? if so, please provide references. At least then people might believe you and think about recommending it for someone with deep pockets and shallow brains, if not for themselves.
  8. Another newbie giving a car review for DFSK. Trying harder will make it less appealing for any prospective buyer here, because we can sense guerilla marketing much sooner than you guys think,ROFL
  9. Reallyy? so keep explaining us what motivated you to post some random stuff out of nowhere on a Monday morning without having any ulterior motives? If you like the Chinese soup keep enjoying it, no one gives a d@mn about it so far. Hopefully if its as good as you say, this car will change the bad reputation of Chinese cars under SL conditions. And if you do have some connections to the agents although you deny it, please ask them not to let down the buyers of this vehicle this time.
  10. too much negativity? Airbags won't deploy if seatbelts not worn, not only due to design or assembly issues. Just give them some time and see, otherwise our country never progresses..
  11. intank pump only activated during start and idle, the power is deactivated at higher than idle because Pumping is mostly done by the main pump. If you just keep sending insane amount of fuel with a more powerful intank pump,it will just come back to the tank via the return valve. Therefore you need a complete upgrade with injectors, main pump first as kush said.
  12. are you having some startability, idling issues? Usually the intank pumps only helps in low revving range. After that the intank pump shuts off.
  13. fuel system problems are very common and expensive to fix, most our mechanics not able to diagnose properly. Seems not compatible with our regular diesel. Toyota would be a safer investment.
  14. did you try ebay? https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Front-Complete-Struts-Shock-Absorbers-Assembly-for-Kia-Optima-Kia-Magentis-06-10-/153067275232?_mwBanner=1&_rdt=1
  15. why are you keeping a 20 years old car that you rarely use?
  16. yaris is not JDM, probably European version. Parts availability may be an issue( or people will think so), 2 nd hand market will be less.
  17. Chinese gearbox calibration, maybe it emulates "?" movement in the jungle
  18. There were many discussions about this. It seems they are hard to get than the Nissan leaf itself. The agent gives no support because the vehicle is not released for SL climate.
  19. Land sale business seems equally crooked as the car sale business, just read about "nil-Kanda" scam in yesterdays paper, the mastermind is a "doctor"?
  20. BMW is the luxury brand which would be easier to sell. The other two are practical EU models.
  21. EU and JP/US are both stringent, but focused on reducing different areas of emissions. The former on CO2-reduction(global warming) and the latter on NOx-reduction(respiratory disorders). Diesels emit less CO2 because they are more efficient than gasoline counterparts to produce same HP/ Torque , but require complex NOx treatment which adds to the retail price. The rough calculation on pure economical sense is to go for a diesel if annually doing more than 20000kms.
