  1. Korean cars have everything what you said. Style, equipment and performance. And another good thing is that they cost less than their rivals. I admit that kia wasnt upto standards before hyundai bought them over. Kia is a fast growing car manufacturer, producing some high quality cars these days. And its not from just "whats been said", its from experience.
  2. Hey man. You've come to the right place. I own a 2001 Kia Rio hatch LS. Bought it unregistered a year back. Well what year are you looking for? The 2003 is the face lifted model, and goes for about 1.5 recon. Other than that it has the same options as the previous gen. Are you looking for an RS(manual) or LS(mainly auto & top of the range model)?
  3. yes thats him. He comes on tvlanka sometimes.
  4. Ive done kyokushin from this guy in kohuwala. He also has a branch in colombo 6. I managed to get my black belt The guys a little harsh though. You dont jump properly or anythin and he'll hit you with one of his sticks on your ass.Serious training though.
  5. Rubbish?? Maybe you would want to rephrase that... On the topic of the picanto, maybe buying it brand new would not be a good choice, but if you want good fuel consumption, along with the useful necessities, try a recon picanto. Its got dual airbags and abs, and it will be definetely better than the maruti. It was also voted the best value car in the UK
  6. Awesome man. Gotta admit I love that bodykit. The alloys are also nice, tho some nice black rims wouldve also be sweet. Wats the bhp of your car? Ive gotten into one of those mazdas. Unbelievably nice. For 6 million its a bargain. When u compare it to an evo, its true you might get more power, and speed, but the rx8 has way more class and style. Its more luxurious and exquisite, and its got way more options. I guess the rx8 is an all rounder. You've got good taste man
  7. Bad idea since tuk tuks are being banned next year. How about a titus tri car
  8. Shit i didnt believe it at first. Damn that would cost a fortune to bring it down here. The cars gonna be hacked though if they drive it on our lovely sri lankan roads. To import an aston i guess they would have money for petrol and spares.this can be classified as the newest and best exotic in sl, with aravindas ferrari coming at 2nd place.

    Armored 7 Series

    You dont need a german engineered car to survive a tsunami. My unarmoured sonata survived it
  11. Never knew there was such a thing as angle eyes j/k common typo. Car looks hot man. Ive seen this even on 2002 5 series beemers
  12. Happy Birthday man!!!
  13. sweet!!! Awesome. I love that interior. The styling is pretty impressive too. Thumbs up for kia
  14. Dude I love your car man. I saw a couple of rx8s today. I gotta say its definetely my kind of car. Its sporty, fast, looks good, its practical, and its sophisticated. That red and black interior is the best. And that speedometer. God damn its hot!! Wasnt there a evo 6 for 3.5million sometime ago in the classifieds? The Evo is just raw, unlike the rx8. The rx8 kinda merges both. Plus isnt the rx8 way more than an evo 6?
  15. Hmm the trend looks nice, but i would say go for the kelisa. It even has a drivers airbag plus its full option. Did micro get the body shipped from china, then assembled here and badged?
  16. Well the cygnus goes for about 12 million recon. The land cruiser in the pic is the older model and will probably go for about 6-7 million. I remember the time when it was only 4 million before the price hike. sigh
  17. Isnt that the usual fuel consumption? My rio does between 11-12km/l. Is your accent a 1.3l or 1.5l?
  18. What year are you looking for? I bought my 2002 kia rio cinco(hatch) LS a year ago for 1.4million. Now i think you would be able to get one used for about 1.275. The cars registered some time back might be a bit cheaper. The sedan will be a bit cheaper probably about 1.225. Thats the LS version. The RS which is cheaper is manual, the LS most of the time auto. The 2001/2002 accents are also in the same price bracket. A 2003 rio base model can go unregistered for about 1.3. The accent again about the same price. Matrix's can go used for about 1.6million for the 1.6l, to about 1.375 for a 1.3l. What exactly are you looking for? manual/auto? leather/cloth? 1300cc/1500cc/1600cc? In regards of reliabilty, I still havent had any problems with the rio, and seems brilliant on the road. It's spacious and has all the necessary options. Its even quite fast, with a top speed of 186km/h, and a 0-60 acceleration of 11.2seconds. Which is not bad for a hatch of its class. People go for korean because they have all the options of other cars in their class, and cost half as much. My dads sonata was caught in the tsunami and after recovering it a few days later, it only had a few dents after being carried of by the wave 10 km away. For a matter of fact, the insurance condemned in it, and apparently someone bought it and its still being used on the road today. Now thats strong build quality.
  19. True. Probably to good to be true
  20. Definetely go for the bora. Its way better than the carina. Maybe not in terms of fuel economy and reliability, but it looks way nicer, its sportier, and more lxurious. I saw a bora in the paper a G series no plate, triptronic, JBL setup, for only 1.6 million. At that price its really worth it.
  21. Ah thats awesome man. I love the mazdaspeed bodykit. I dont care too much about the veilside kit. It extends the cars nose too much.
  22. Still not upto the koreans
  23. Can anyone tell me why there is a 1.5 million rupee difference between the jap rx8 and the singaporean rx8? Dont they have the same specs?
  24. Nope its still a concept. And for the record i think it looks just ugly. If they are trying to make a supercar, they should include a major makeover from the original indica. I mean it still has the same plastic mouldings.
  25. I know exactly what you're thinking. "Woah"
