    This i have to agree. I have met many people  who criticize Vezels but have not even driven one or neither owned one. I have owned one since 2014 September and have now done more than 55 K. All services done at stafford motors and i even did the clutch oil change at 40K according to the recommendation by Stafford. I have not faced any problems with my vehicle may be because of the regular maintenance?  I have not even faced the problem where people say that their transmissions get overheated when driving  in heavy traffic. I always drive in heavy traffic as i work in Kollupitiya and have to enter colombo around 7:30 AM - 9:00 AM (everyone knows the traffic condition between these times) and also i leave around 5 in the afternoon so again heavy traffic there. 
    I bought mine for 58K with factory add ons such as the interior lighting and front grill. I see the current second hand market for 2014 Z grade vezel is between 53k to 55k . I would say that's reasonable because after 3 years and 55K of mileage, selling for less than 5K of the purchased value, in my opinion that's a good darn deal :D:D
    Oh i see many people have recommended Toyota here,  well yea toyota is reliable i would say but i don't like the brand much because they are fudging overpriced and less options for the value. Oh i forgot to mention i also own a toyota aqua 2015 model,  i got it for 42K (bought it brand-new), I wanted to get a honda fit but i wanted to try the toyota hybrid system so i opted to go with the aqua. If i had gone with a fit i would have paid a lesser amount for more features compared to the aqua which doesn't even have the cruise controlled installed.  

    My opinion is honda vezel is a good cross over vehicle for a family and is worth the price unlike most of the toyotas (specially the CHR i would say ;) )

    No, its not a wise decision to buy vezel.

    1. Dual clutch problem - yes its quite jerky and not the smoothest of gearboxes. Moreover 2014-15 models are rumoured to be having reliability issues with regard to this. Solution: late 2016-2017 models are considered to have been rectified. Can go for it.

    2. Maintenance - Not very high compared to European vehicles but higher than the erstwhile Toyotas.

    3. Resale value - Initially it was good but not now. Sri Lanka was flooded by Vezels from 2014 onwards and there are so many for sale on the market that the second hand asking price has dropped significantly and is expected to be so for the next couple of years when current owners of vezels start selling off their cars.

    My suggestion: Go for a Toyota instead. Reliable, low cost of maintenance and decent resale value.

    "Solution: late 2016-2017 models are considered to have been rectified" you sure about it?

    thanks for the detailing, yeah, high inner space and clearance hight are the facts that I concern about the vezel rather than toyota axio.

    I'm willing to buy a new vehicle for my personal use and have an idea to go for a Honda vezel 2015/14.(from japan auction sale or recondition SL market)

    some say that Vezel has no resale value and high maintenance cost due to the Dual clutch problem. I'm confusing about that problem.

    what I want to know is, will it be a wise decision to buy a Vezel regarding the maintenance cost and resale value???

    Highly appreciate your expertise ideas....

    Hi Buddhi_1

    Unfortunately I am not an expert in this. But if you could do a test run just notice below.

    1.     If you are having difficulty engaging gears,

    2.     If accelerate and the engine revolutions go up, but the car does not speed up,

    3.      An abnormal noise.

    this is what I know.

    Hope an expert in the forum will help you with more.

    One of my friend met with and accident and the car was in the Gurage for couple of months due to an Insurance issue. Once repaired we noticed the above and the agents advised to replace the Duel clutch assembly as it has been damaged. The cost was around Rs.400,000. But he managed to repair from a place near the Kalani Bridge for Rs.100,000/= all inclusive and now it is like new.

    So don't worry.

     

     

    thank you very much,

    Hi Buddhi_1

    Rumesh88 given a good comparison. But Don't be scared for the technology. I use Honda Grace. Almost same. No issues in DCT if you look after the car well. Go to a reputed place for your periodic service. Change the Duel Clutch oil too while you change the gear oil at 40000. Normally I check DC oil in every other service. If slugged or not good I change. It cost only Rs.3000.00. No issues and gives a good Driving pleasure.

    As rumesh88 said " Trend, GP5 is much preferred by the younger generation"

    Thank you! In my case i’m willing to buy a used vezel. So how could i make sure that car DCT is in good condition?? Can it recognized by a inspection?
