The performance and safety depends a lot on the local conditions ( Driving habits, Road signs, Lane markings..). Wonder if these "self driving" cars will be tested in Sri lankan traffic BEFORE selling them.

unlikely. The more errors means the less critical, because one part that provides information to all these different systems has to be faulty. Most possible starting point, did you get the wheel speed sensors checked for damage to wires or mud?

Basically differently dressed Audis and VWs with outgoing technology/ platforms. Could be successful here if the Agents dont blow it when it comes to reasonable maintenance costs and after sales.

I heard that Mahindra was almost about to close the factory and leave Sri Lanka, because the approval from RMV and Authorities to sell the vehicle in SL was taking ages. Hope they changed their mind.

now i am also curious from where the Electricity for hydrogen production comes from, where the efficiency seems to be <80% does it make economic sense? Another question is the storage, safety and Transportability of Hydrogen, compared to liquid fuels.

but its has a bigger Engine than the Kwid ne? I hope the diesel version is also introduced here.

noted and updated the choices, but wont it be in a tad higher "jeep" segment?

thanks for pointing out, updated the choices. (You ended up in the Alto/Celerio category, may be its possible to correct that if you dont agree?)

Toyota seems to be moving away from hybrids to turbocharged direct injection in the standard segment. Reason could be high system cost of Li-ion batteries and additional parts does not make a good business case unless for premium segment.

Without any significant charging infrastructure development, i dont think they will be popular soon, maybe only in city limits first.

Another Nail on the coffin of Ozzie Manufacturing Industry. Thank god the mines will feed them for a few more centuries..

with 20Mn you could easily get a BMW X7, Lnadcruiser Prado, Audi Q7, Merc S-class etc

oh, i thought the first ever Audi was the A4 that Jayasuriya got after winning the 96 World cup.

Audi-80 is available in Sri Lanka?

probably got links to the car import business?

what a beauty, may be possible to restore if you have contacts in the UK who can help you find parts. But people will laugh at you spending money on this, because "no 2nd hand market"

That German V6 diesel must be a hellava fun to drive!

Could you specify? Parts not available other than at Agents?

literally it means: hybrid battery output has deteriorated. Stop the car at a safe place and put to park mode. Did you do a hybrid system scan including HV battery?

I think it also protects the steering rack from out-of-specified forces during turning. Shorter turning radius is a feature which depends on rack design. Therefor even a Merc E-klass can have same radius as a cheaper hatchback, but at higher cost.

absolutely correct. Not a good idea unless you just want to get rid of the car immediately after repair. Wow,out of stock? all the Prius imported around 2013~15 under tax breaks start giving battery troubles at the same time?

need to be careful with these headlights on ebay/alibaba etc. They don't do well in our climate and develop cracks within a few months. also need to check if the vehicle is RHD or LHD, otherwise will end up not seeing the off-side well at night while getting headlights and horns from blinded oncoming traffic!

keep whatever money you save on the initial costs for fixing problems that may come a few months after water damage

made in India?
