  1. well for the initial inspection you can go to TL but i do my repairs at Taridu Auto there are very good toyota and hybrid placed Good luck
  2. well comparing your 3 cylinder Vitz the Axio/Aqua has a lot of power. The axio has 75 horse power for a 1.5 and the hybrid takes it to 100 so that is pretty good. (20 cells * rate 7.5 per cell) if you take the small turbo that to do 7-8 in the city. and the diesels 2.5 with manuals gears it takes a month of Sundays to get a good speed. in the hybrid the speed comes instant !!!. i.e electric charge comes pretty quick.
  3. well it has the DOHC engine i took a carmart mechanic and he said its the same. miata is rear wheel and others 323 is front wheel from what saw.
  4. axio gives good miles that depends on the driving style and the no of kilometers. if you go for 20 kilometers and had 3 stops i.e EV miles are less you get 16 KMPL and 20 kilometers with no stops and EV high you get 20-22. this depends on the EV miles and the hybrid battery as the more miles on EV you get more KMPL. The Prius gives more miles as it has a larger battery.
  5. For sri lanka the hybrid energy saving cars are very good. I have a axio and it had done 125KM there are once that has done 350,000. if you look at YouTube USA site people who used these for 350 and still going strong. I have seen a prius that had done 330,000 miles used by a hotel. So if you decide to go for a hybrid look at the prius/aqua/axio. get the battery and the other components checked by TL and select a good vehicle with proper militance. if you have a 3 cylinder vits you will see a huge acceleration benefit !!
  6. I went to see the with a mechanic from car mart he said it has a lot of work i visited 2 times waisted a lot of money Rajapaksa is a big Crooke it has a fresh paint but the tyers are cracked due to being in the same spot and shocks are done. and the tappet cover is leaking etc. call ashen of car mart he will you more
  7. All hybrid very good, the honda mentioned seems to have the DCT clutch issue and the Axio, and aqua has ABS issues. So have some money ready for the repairs and take a good hybrid mechanic or get it inspected by the agents.
  8. i had one and it did 16 KMPL with auto start and stop. but the auto start and stop made a lot of users very uncomfortable.
  9. never wash the car engine it creates more issues. may be you can put strong air and clean the dust etc. never wash it or degrease it. in the wagon r this causes the famous adjuster issue.

  11. car ch**ks and grease**nkeys they do come and give a report but i need a compression test they are unable to bring a mobile unit and do the check at places. if you a mechanic who has the equipment or a mobile unit let me know in Colombo
  12. I was quoted 18.8 from ########. and they dont give for the two door cars. Actually I wanted to get a lease as the car is on open papers, so they will take the risk
  13. with the dealer price is 38.50 might offer 3mil if the dealer wants to get rid if it soon he might accept
  14. with the dealer price is 38.50 might offer 3mil
  15. this car had the mazda DOHC similer to mazda astina only the body is different astina is fron wheel and miata is rear wheel. actually the mazda engine and the body is fiat abrath. in the us value is 5000 USD so this works out to 2mil in sri lankn rupees
