Chinese are going to take over the automobile industry for sure. Tesla who was considered ground braking is shying away from the promised small EV and moving to Taxi cars as the competition is too strong. Then comes Chery with this small EV SUV. Looks like a Mini G Class / Jimny but is fully electric.· 4 replies

Interior Specialists? Every time I go over some bumps my seats squeak quite loudly and there is a massive rattle of a nail undone coming from inside the dashboard, anybody got any suggestions I could go to? My usual mechanic just said "turn the radio up"· 2 replies

I was watching a Yangwang U8 struggling to make it up a muddy hill on Youtube. I was wondering why cant an EV be more capable off road than an ICE vehicle. Given the fact that this behemoth has 4 individual motor on each wheel it should be able to direct power to the wheel that has more grip and stop power to the slipping wheel. Cant be rocket science right?· 3 replies

I woke up one day and I now want to buy a W140. The brain works in mysterious ways. It definitely doesn't understand the concept of money since I am nowhere near affording one.· 2 replies

Question
chamath1
I've previously posted a previous discussion regarding Caldina as an Ideal vehicle for both my entrepreneur business and for family use.
Looking at the second hand market it seems that almost all of them seems beatup/ abused or not maintained right even though its a very good vehicle but still seems to be not tough as the good old Corolla wagons (CE 108s and G Touring etc). So I've got to bin the idea of going for them.
It seems that painfully my budget needs to be raised by 1Mn to go for a much more reliable choice, so I've ended up choosing either an Isuzu 4 wheel Cab (late 90s model) or a Hilux 2 wheel 4 door (LN 85/145). Sure people praise the reliability of Toyota Hilux 4 wheel versions(LN 106/107) but I've seen plenty of 2 wheel 4 door versions on garages but my dad still insists to go for them (just because Toyota is the dominant brand with parts available everywhere). I know that Isuzu cabs are fuel efficient workhorses (only if maintained right) but then again they're slow and has issues on re-conditioning the body etc.
So the bottom line is... is Isuzu 4 wheel late 90s model better than Hilux 2 wheel 4 door version (LN 85/145) when it comes to
1. Robustness/ Reliability
2. Fuel Efficiency?
3. Running/Maintenance Cost?
4. Spare Parts availability.
