  1. Well like with most things [mention=82829]chanaka paliskara[/mention] it depends on your criteria -
    Resale?
    Reliability?
    Comfort?
    Cost and availability of spares?
    Uniqueness?
    Driving pleasure / handling?
    Performance?
    Fuel economy
    Purchase price?
    How would you prioritise all these?
     
    a lower purchase price doesn't always mean "cheaper" in the long run
    Resale? I am not a rich person to upgrade old car to new once
    Reliability? Yes top priority
    Comfort? Yes top priority
    Cost and availability of spares? Yes top priority
    Uniqueness? Yes top priority
    Driving pleasure / handling? Yes top priority
    Performance? Yes top priority
    Fuel economy ? Yes top priority
    Purchase price? Yes top priority

    a lower purchase price doesn't always mean "cheaper" in the long run - Absolutely i agree with you.

    So please kindly give me some advise to select a good car

  2.  Well like i said those 2 and out of them vitz would better in 2nd hand value, fuel and even in design. Its god a-b car.
    But if u r looking for an suv consider a registered rush/ terios? I know a friend of mine who's about about to sell his and the drive and the quality is quite good.
    My budget is maximum 4 millions.
    Terios from Daihatsu right ?
    So ofcoz i like rush.

  3. Thank u sir.
    I am pretty sure that, if the owners hack some cars, then its much easier them to cheat me. Its nothing for them.
    Anyway how about mazda cars?,
    And Is there any unregistered or brand new SUV or mini MPV cars up to 4 millions from any brand ?
    As you said even Vitz is good.... my mind still looking a SUP or Mini MPV.
    Are Hatchback car's appearance similar to SUP or Mini MPV? And can i find Hatchback cars up to 4 millions ?

  4. [mention=82829]chanaka paliskara[/mention] most of the options i mentioned are available on this website's classified section and on [email protected], P at P at .lk, Ri ya se wa na and such sites
     
    Roughly an Avanza will be around 2.7 to 3.7 Million but they are very basic without airbags etc.
    Something like a Suzuki Ertiga will be around 3-3.5 Million but i have only seen manual ones here
    The best value for money in your price range i feel would be the Hyundai Santa Fe 2006+ Model for around 2.9 Million to 4.5 Million range. It will  have 4WD as well. Petrol & Diesel options available
     
    Check this sites classified section

    Then how about mazda cars?,
    And Is there any unregistered or brand new SUV or mini MPV cars up to 4 millions from any brand ?

  5. [mention=82829]chanaka paliskara[/mention] how about a 7 seat SUV like a Hyundai Santa Fe similar to this one?
    http://www.autolanka.com/view/hyundai/santa-fe/68922.html
     
    If you want 5 adults to be comfortable on a long journey then even your car options will need to be things like large saloon cars or sedans - so i don't think options like the Vitz will work for you
     
    If it's an MPV then perhaps a Suzuki Ertiga?
     
    The Avanza is well within your budget but it looks like a very flimsy product and isn't really the best of Toyota - not Japanese made either AFAIR
    If you don't mind something which may be heavy or may end up being hard to resell as well as maintain then there are left field options like the Nissan Emgrand, Chrysler Voyager & Mazda Premacy in your budget
     
    I don't know if this will fit in your budget but the Honda BRV may also be an option as that too is a 7 seat crossover but the ones sold in Sri Lanka may have been Indian made
     
    Thank you sir.
    And pls let me smile at me. When i read these replies..... honestly i am shame at me. Because i dont have much idea about vehicles.
    Due to my budget is maximum 4 millions and my less knowledge...... Could you please verify below.
    1. Is mazda japan or indian ? (I heard someone says that some mazda products are not really from japan)
    2. What is the price of below
    Honda BRV, Nissan chrysler, Nissan emgrand, Toyota avanza, Suzuki ertiga and nissan voyager
    3. Even flimsy anyone of them no issue for me.. so what is the most fuel efficiency car from above
    4. Finally that Emgrand is from Nissan or Micro ?

  6. Really appreciate your honest idea for my inquiry. But there are 6 family members in my family with Parents. So i think Vitz is not comfortable when we go together for long journey. I mean the Vitz's space will not be comfortable for 6 persons. Am i correct ?,
    And how much is unregistered Vitz ?.
    Do u have any idea about Kia/Hyundai or Micro ? Because i saw many SUV types cars on their brands.

  7. While 4 Million is hybrid territory - you can find many non hybrids for that price. As Alpha mentioned let us know what you want- are you looking for a freed for a specific reason? If something other than a mini MPV is OK you have  several decent sedans to consider. for instance a non hybrid Axio 161 (2013 ) can be bought for around 4.1 Mill - a really nice car.
    Thanks both of ur (matroska & alpha17) reply for my post. Here are my main requirements....
    1. I love to buy SUV or mini MPV as well as hatchback (such as Xtrail, freed, sportage or any model similar to above)
    2. Any made year no problem
    3. Non hybrid
    4. Any transmission
    5. Made country - first priority to Japan, then Europe and next korean (if good)
    6. Seat capacity - minimum 5 including driving seat
    7. Budget is maximum 4 millions

  8. Hello and welcome to the forum. 
    Firstly - please use a meaningful name when opening a thread so that someone would know what the question is about.
    secondly do not open multiple threads for the same question. [mention=46393]Davy[/mention] another merge request for you [emoji846]
     
    [/url] Regarding the car - I notice that there hasn't been much discussion on this model on this forum. Hopefully there might be someone who owns/owned a Freed. 
     
    Honestly thank you very much ur advise. I am new here so i dont have much idea or experience here.

  9. A person I know had one, but sold after 1 or 2 years complaining about the battery’s cooling fan. I don’t exactly know about the issue, but it’s his friend who told me the reason to sell the car. Then he bought a Toyota Sienta.
    By now, most of the batteries might be in their last breath so better to check well. These things have the IMA hybrid system which is much better in terms of reliability than the i-DCD Sport Hybrid system. This one has the 1500cc engine (opposed to 1300cc in the earlier IMA systems) which would be adequate for daily driving. 1500cc on the ZE3 Insight is a joy to drive with plenty of torque, but here with the added weight it would be ok for daily travel. But the IMA system struggles a bit on steep climbs.
    Thanks Alpha 17,
    Honestly i dont like hybrid vehicle since the battery issues. So i am looking non hybrid vehicle.
