  1. hey im looking forward to buy a 'pop up headlight' car in sri lanka what are my options .btw budget is around 5mil-6mil
  2. I have recently done (week back) CVT oil change from the T*y*t* L*n*a, Car is currently mileage at 40000, when I check the Invoice, they only charged for 2.5 l of CVT fluid. I wonder is it correct way of oil change? current understanding is they should full drain the gear oil from the gearbox and refill from the scratch. Need your expert opinions on this? Car is Vitz 2018
  3. Hey everyone, I'm new to all of this and I would really like your help to decide what vehicle type is better? I'm looking for overall a wise choice in terms of petrol, reliability and looks. Suzuki Vitara 2010 & Toyota Rush 2008 are what's in my budget. The Toyota rush is cheaper but Suzuki Vitara looks good and does 8-9km within city. I'm not sure how much the rush does. What would be the best option?
  4. Hi guys, I need your opinion on the 2007 Toyota Vitz RS which comes with the 1.5L 1NZ-FE engine paired with an automatic transmission. I want to know the following: 1. Mechanical (engine and transmission) reliability, parts availability, and maintenance. 2. Any known Vitz RS issues besides mechanical 3. Fuel economy estimates. 4. Good price range according to your knowledge on the market. 5. What is the aftermarket support in Sri Lanka like? 6. Any recommendation for an alternative? I'm just trying to get an overall idea about the vehicle, and it would be great if someone could let me know the pros and cons of this specific vehicle. Thank you!
  5. hi, i'm planing to buy toyota prado TRJ 120 petrol jeep. which model is good TZ or TX & best fuel consumption which engine capacity is the best. Toyota Prado TRJ120 Petrol TZ or TX Limited 2700cc 3400cc 4600cc which one good in fuel consumption. If you know any jeep below 8.0mn please let me know.
  6. ...and in the blink of an eye 3 years have gone by. It only occurred to me/us when the dealer called up to remind us of the upcoming shaken inspection and tax payment and to inquire what I wanted to do with the car loan. So off to inspection it went and decided to totally pay off the car. So now she is totally mine At the 3 year mark I have put 10,xxxkms on it and each one of those kms have been more smile worthier than the other. Interestingly as the engine broke in the car became more lively as the engine was way more rev happy. In 2022 GR Garage started a personalization program called GR Personal Selection. The program offered owners the chance to take the car for a track day, drive it and tune the car according to their own driving style. This included a software upgrade which bumped up torque to 390Nm (an increase of 20Nm from the stock 370), adjustments to steering weight, throttle response and AWD torque split. Unfortunately, the track days didn't work out with my schedule so got it tuned to some presets that were offered. So now the car has 390Nm of torque, heavier steering and high throttle response. I didn't do anything with the torque split of the AWD system as I felt the changes introduced a bit of understeer which I didn't like. The upgrades have made the car a lot easier to drive. So much so my wife, who always made the car leap from stand still or jerk when accelerating and shifting gears, found it a lot easier to drive than before. I bought the GR Yaris completely out of impulse. The original plan was to buy a standard Yaris with a MT until the GR Corolla was released. Thus, once the GR Corolla was released in Japan I had to go try it out and put my name down for one. The GR Corolla was a nice car. It is a lot easier to drive. The two rear doors make the car a lot more practical. The car does have a larger cargo area, however the usable space is not that much larger than the GR Yaris. The best thing about the GR Corolla is the engine improvements. The power delivery is much smoother and the engine is more responsive (the updated engine is going to be offered in the facelifted GR Yaris). Performance wise, although the GRC has more power, you cannot not actually feel it due to the added weight. Track runs have shown both cars to be equal in things like 0-100 times, etc...the main difference seems to be in terms of handling. The consensus seems to be that the GRY is better for rallying and B-roads (due to the shorter wheelbase) and the GRC is better for track use. Which brings me to what I did not like in the GRC. The weight...and the longer wheelbase. The GRC feels less nimble and playful than the GRY. Albeit...straight line, flat-out..the GRC is a lot more stable. Which I support is in line with the above mentioned consensus. So, after a lot of driving around in the GRC and a track day with the GRC and a bunch of other GR cars, I decided to stick with the GR Yaris (I was hoping to keep the GRY and buy the GRC as a second family car for its practicality. Wife insisted I had to trade in the GRY). Then there was the whole purchase method for the GRC. The cars were offered only through lottery with each round of lottery having only 550 cars (Toyota closed its 2nd lottery a few months ago and the next one is supposed to come up in a few months). To give you an idea of how crazy the lottery is....I went to the dealership/GR Garage to apply for the lottery the morning after the lottery started (1.00pm prev day). The system already showed 5000+ lottery applications. The low chances of actually winning the lottery reaffirmed my decision to hold on to the GRY. The GR Garage is a total car person's den. It has two racing sims, a library with car books, mini cars...and always has a selection of fun cars. In this instance they had their (Toyota Corolla dealership's) GRMN Yaris and GR Corolla Morizo edition apart from the white one in the previous pic). Now..the second moment of temptation.. I was so mad with Toyota that I went and ordered a Civic Type R. Now that was a very refined car. FWD and wonderfully balanced. Interior was well appointed. The adaptive suspension was quite good. The car came in at 4.9mil yen fully loaded (compared to the GRC's price of 5.8mil) and the car made you feel special for all that money you spent on it. At the time of placing the order the delivery period was 4 years. To my good fortune, Honda called last December and said I could have mine in April 2024 if I still wanted it. So... am I getting a Civic Type R in April ? I suppose we will have to wait and see. For now..life goes on with the GRY .... Yes...we still have the old Corolla. She turns 25 this year and has 52,000km. Still runs strong and along with her shaken inspection next week I will be replacing some oil seals (for good measure as some are 25 years old and some 10). Other than that I replaced two engine mounts and replaced the clutch and pressure plates about 2 years ago Its amazing how small the Corolla wagon is compared to the GRY. The day Toyota was crazy enough to ask a bunch of us to drive their cars The blue Supra was a manual and LOVED it ! If I could have afforded it that would be a car I would give up the GRY for in less than a heart beat. The pure grunt and glorious sound of a V8 was mesmerizing. Now....about that family car I wanted until a new toy comes around. Because the chances of getting a GRC was so low...the dealership managed to sell us a facelifted Corolla Touring ! Our/my first Hybrid car. The facelift has some exterior/interior design improvements, but the main change is the hybrid system. It now uses a 5th gen HSD mated to a 1.8L engine. Has a total combined output of about 137? hp and tons of torque thanks to an updated control unit and lighter batteries (so it has more power than the pre-facelift model and weighs less). It is interesting how the system handles the charge/discharge. The car does not let the battery charge up to a 100%. Only time it does is when driving long distances on the highway or going up and and down hills. At such times it just starts cruising on EV mode. Its biggest let down is the eCVT and has a little bit space than the old Corolla wagon...but everything else is pretty sweet. All in-all the (temporary ?) purchase of the Corolla Touring worked out quite well considering some unexpected life changes.
  7. Hi Friends and Greetings for Holiday season. I am stepping down after 5+ years from my reliable Suzuki Swift 2003 (Jeep model) sold due to migrating plan. But plan is delayed. I don't want to spend a lot on a car due to current crisis. Required is basic relative comfort travel 15-20 km. Mostly reliable so you can go somewhere with confident even in night. Also no need of profit but need to be able to get rid of car at short notice+ easy maintenance. Budget prefer about 1.5M max go up to 2M but I want to go as cheap as possible. Also I really like to have auto gears manual if no choice at all. I have done some research and even check few cars here's my list please help with pro and con so make me not make a mistake. Nissan : For my budget Very good condition Trad Sunny is there. But 90% manual so not a fan. Very few auto ones - are they reliable? Then Doctor Sunny diesel is lot cheaper than petrol. Petrol I think overpriced. Why is diesel cheaper? Cars look good condition but people say Diesel Sunny is a lot of problems why? But still not auto but my budget gets me good condition cars. Few Auto gear cars are there as well. Wingroad Auto is there but 2 cars I checked are terrible state so I think most are like that. Good ones above 2 M Toyota: Everything is above 2 Million except for Wagons (18/19 dash) But Manual. And corolla and Corona (17/18 dash) both available Auto and same engine 5A according to a seller. Diesel Auto also available Reliable? Parts? Mitsubishi Honda very few for sale at the budget - Honda Grand Civic is there but a friend tells it's likely to have lot of issues and no one knows to fix it. Suzuki few random Cultus etc but worried about spares. Finally there's a LOT of Hyundai for this budget Sonata Elantra and Accent. Much newer and Auto+ Seems a good deal but what's the catch? A mechanic tells their difficult to fix. What do you think and suggestion friends? Should I conserve budget an go for a classic like Sunny Trad/Doctor and live in pain of manual drive in city? Are Hyundai risky? Or should I just stretch my budget to above 2 M and get a March K11 or a FB14??
  8. Well well well, we closed one chapter and now we hopped onto the next! What you see below is the final purchase I made since no one had the decency to sell me a good X110 Mark 2 (My birdie is raised at y'all forever) so I decided (with a chuttak lot coercion from my parents) "Hey!, I need a car fast" so I thought what was really worth it and bought this car. So what is this car really? You're looking at a 2.4 Liter XV30 Camry in Black Onyx. Imported in 2004 by the MD of a "Strawberry Company in Sri Lanka" (You know what it is) and owned by him ever since I laid my grubby hands on it. (Single Owner car, well it was registered to the company, car MFD and Reg in 2004). Car has 216k kms on the clock. This time I'm 100% sure its genuine, because the car was a Brand New Import bought from Toy#ta L#nka and was maintained ever since from them, car still carries a tag of the last service done in October, 2020 , also the plethora of old Eco Test reports also helps me sleep better at night. Additionally typing the Cars chassis code to ToyotaDIY shows me as the Market Destination of this car as Europe and a friend told me that's why the speedo goes upto 240kmph What features does the car have you say? I honestly don't know since I pivoted from Mark 2s to Camry's really fast once I saw this car. The only thing notable is Auto Wipers (Imagine my shock when it started raining today and it started to be busy at work, didn't know the car had this feature) and the light up ring next to the keyhole and that's about it me thinks yeah. I don't know the options of these cars so if you tell me what to look at I will tell you whether it is present or not. Electric Seats and the Antenna that automatically goes up and down is also a thing. How does the car drive? Exactly how it looks, pulls like a boat on the straight road with a nice roar and plenty of power but has the craziest amount of body roll you'll get sea-sick if you took it to a track. It's a nice comfy plushy ride and as a cruiser that will get you comfortably from A to B it'll do its job but in terms of road feel and fun to drive its quite rock bottom (In comparison to my experience with a EP91 Starlet). Also looks like Toyota made a 'Feedback-delete' to the damn steering cause I feel absolutely nothing.
  9. Hello everyone, my name is Emmanuel Katto and I'm from Uganda. I'm planning to purchase a car, can anyone suggest me a car of Toyota under 50 lakhs?
  10. Hello everyone, I'm considering buying a sedan car, and currently, I have two options in mind: Allion 240 and Corolla 141, both below 5.5 million. I would greatly appreciate your input and ideas regarding the fuel consumption and maintenance of these two car models. If any of you have personal experience or knowledge about these vehicles, your insights would be valuable in helping me make an informed decision. Additionally, if anyone knows of any other car options within this price range that are worth considering, please feel free to share your suggestions. Thank you for your assistance, and I look forward to hearing your opinions.
  11. Hello experts, I have finally decided to buy a Corolla 141. I am OK with its below-average fuel performance. My biggest concern is spare parts and body parts availability. Because few people said you have to import body parts from Dubai or somewhere if the car faces any accident. I would like to know about your experience and advice about this issue. Is it true that 141 spare parts and body parts are very rare to find? I am from Kurunegala. Another thing is let's say I get full insurance and just in case I have to import some parts from a foreign country after accidental damage. Will the insurance company cover the cost or will they only pay for local repairs? Thank you all.
  12. What are the places to do vehicle inspection?. . Does Mag C#ty and Sterlin provide good inspection service?
  13. Does anyone know a bank that provides personal loans (for a vehicle) of around 4.5 million for a salary about 200,000 earned by foreign employment.
  14. I'm thinking of disposing of my hybrid (Toyota Aqua YoM 2012) and upgrading to a non-hybrid vehicle. Currently, my choices are a Toyota Vitz or an Audi A1 (not a sports model). Toyota has a reputation here that they can be sold easily, unlike European-made vehicles. European-made vehicles have better safety features but have a lower resale value. How difficult is it to maintain an Audi A1, as far as maintenance costs are concerned? Can someone with knowledge and experience please enlighten me? Thanks in advance.
  15. I’M Trying to buy a Toyota Hiace ( made between 1989 -2004 ) I’m bit confused with the models available can someone explain to me about the models and its differences? I’m just adding some information I collected so it could be useful for someone, please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong My breakdown provides a comprehensive understanding of the model codes and their meanings for the Toyota Hiace H100 series LH = Diesel Engine RZH = Petrol Engine LH1 or RZH1 = it is H100 series LH10 (Second No 0 means ) = Standard Weelbase LH11 (Second No 0 means ) = Long Week base LH12 (Second No 2 means ) = Super Long wheel base LH16 (Second No 6 means ) = 5L engine LH17 (Second No 7 means ) = 5L engine Long wheel base LH18 (Second No 8 means ) = 5L engine with Super Long Wheel base LH11(0-4) or LH10(0-4) (3rd No between 0-4 means ) = 2 WD Drive LH11(5-9) (3rd No between 5-9 means ) = 4 WD Drive With this i have a doubt as what is the difference between LH102 and LH103 ? Can someone explain the factors that decides the value of this van? as per my knowledge # 4 door van is valuable then a 5 door van in Sri Lanka # 2 WD drive van is valuable then a 4WD Drive # Manual gear van is valuable then a Automatic gear van
  16. Hi, I'm looking for an everyday car to travel within city limits and occasionally to travel outstation. This is for my personal use. (Not looking to make a profit by re-selling). What's my best option under 15M (150,00,000). How do you compare Toyota CHR vs Premio? Thanks
  17. I'm having with my Toyota Axio 2015. Whenever I hit the brakes, my car unexpectedly forces backward, making driving in stop-and-go traffic incredibly annoying and inconvenient. I haven't been able to get my car serviced for about a year cuz I've been aboard. The brakes are seem to be working okay, but I think the issue lies with the air pump or vacuum system related to the brakes. It's like the brake booster or vacuum system might be acting up, causing this backward force when I try to stop. Is it might be ABS issue? Does anyone have an idea? Thanks.
  18. I am very new to cars. I have a vitz 2009 model and its mileage 80000 Km now. When I drive I can feel the gear changing automatically, so I think its time to a gear box repair. So I need to know whether 80K is the normal gear box repair interval or else. If I change gear box oil and wait until 100K? And how much cost to have a gear box repair?
  19. Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and I'm about to purchase my first car for home use. Cars that I'm interested in are Toyota Corolla 121 and Toyota Aqua 2013 or higher. This may sound bizzare. I'll explain why these are the models that I am going back and forth. Reasons troubling me to make a decision are, - Kind of want to go for a newer hybrid car ( not a very logical reason. I know that but I just like that ☺️ ) - Aqua is a smaller car but space is limited compared to 121 - Aqua's milage is better since it is a hybrid - We have 5 members in the home, therefore it is easier to fit in a 121 than an Aqua, and with the ground clearance between the two 121 is better for that - 121 is more spacious than Aqua and can carry up to 6 people without any problem - Some are saying that Hybrid batteries and ABS systems are giving some issues and for replacement, it would cost high ( I know I should bear the costs that comes with any car ☹️ ) - I have driven a 121 for about a year and I know the comfort and the issues I could face with this car Usage * Car will be for home use * Most probably it will be parked during weekdays * For a single weekend there's a good chance I will cover around 250km * I am from Kandy, so mostly I'm going on hilly terrains * There is some luggage I'm carrying around, but not heavy and can fit into both cars * When traveling not always 5 of us are traveling. Mostly 2 or 4 of us will I know these two cars are completely different from one another for comparison. But, my liking is between these two. Can anyone help me to make the decision on which car should I go for? Mentioned reasons are the ones troubling me. Thank You!!
  20. My Toyota Passo 2018 - DBA M700 A gives me only 11km/Liter Pattern - (20km Highway daily and 20km city Daily) (Colombo to Kadawatha and Kadawatha to Colombo) Any tune ups or modifications recommended. Please help me on this. Thanks
  21. Guys I wanted to know what are the grades of the Starlet EP71? How do you differ them from each other and how to know which what’s the country of origin of it?
  22. Guys, need some honest opinions. Is there anyone who converted the appearance of a 2007 Allion 260 to a 2010 Allion 260 by changing the Old Lights and Buffers to new ones? If so, do we need to change any brackets or do they get fixed to the same brackets?
  23. Engine gel mount on my 2007 Yaris has gone bad, when I was looking for a replacement I found this brand tenacity. Just wanted to know if anyone has used Tenacity engine mounts and whether they are any good? How is the vibration compared to genuine engine mounts ? Is it a better option to go for a recondition gel engine mount instead of using a brand new after market one? Would like to get your views and recommendations on this and also if there are other good brands that I can look for.
