Dear John Thank you very much for sharing your perspective. It may very well be true upon deeper analysis. As individuals searching for a suitable vehicle for home use, we often find ourselves caught between government compliances and taxes, vehicle dealers, and third-party buyers and sellers. The process is always a struggle.

I've noticed significant price variations in personal vehicles across different regions of Sri Lanka. For example, vehicle prices in Colombo, Negombo, Kandy, and the Northern areas all differ. However, the most noticeable discrepancy is in the Kurunegala area, where many used vehicles are considerably cheaper and often show lower mileage compared to other regions. I'm curious to understand the reason behind this – is it due to unethical practices such as odometer tampering, or possibly unauthorized vehicle imports?

Dear Mr. I agreed your all advises and thoese are helps me a lot to uderstand how we select vehicle and how we think about vehicle technically. Are you in automoble sector? You are a genuing getliman to serve society in one way as I undestood upto now. So, Keep this good work forever. All the very best . May all your thoughts and wishes come true in the same way. Have a healthy tomorrow.

Hi dear, What do you think about Wagon R (new model and old model), Stingray, and Japan Alto? I understand the 660cc.

People like you should really be appreciated. There are very few people who honestly give their opinions about what they know. And a person may asks a question based on what he has learned and what he knows. There may be some people who cannot ask the question in English or understand what is being said. Regardless of the situation in our country, thank you both very much for answering me. 🙏 🙏🙏🙏 🙏 🙏🙏🙏 🙏 🙏🙏🙏 🙏 🙏🙏🙏

Hi... Well noted your valuble points and Again thank you from the bottom of my heart for this answer. The reason for these questions is that I previously owned an Axio Hybrid car, which I sold just before the price increase in January 2021. I then purchased an i-Auto due to its market availability. While it's a good vehicle considering its features relative to its price, I wouldn't recommend it for daily use in city traffic. I travel 40 km daily to the office via normal routes. I'm now looking for a car with better fuel efficiency within a budget of 6-7 million. Therefore, I'm considering used Axio and Aqua models from the current market, despite the presence of some untrustworthy car dealers. Could you recommend a vehicle for me based on these considerations?"

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this answer, which has taken a lot of time and effort to help someone else. Also, while browsing the internet, I have observed that ABS system is changed when replacing the battery in many hybrid vehicles, so I would like to know your brief opinion on the same.

Dear Experts / Users I wish to know post hybrid battery replacement issues in the Axio and Aqua vehicles, including following clarifications which I mentioned point wise for easyness. How many KMs could I drive Axio and Aqua for hybrid battery replacement? Are there any other parts replacement other than hybrid battery when replacing battery? Does the car return to original condition after replacing hybrid batteries? Is it easy to find batteries in sri lanka market? What would the hybrid battery replacement cost for these two vehicles? Which of these two vehicles is recommended for comming to Colombo on a daily basis (about 20KM)? Or what vehicle do you recommend for daily commuting to Colombo?. i highly appreciate your invlauble comments
