    Toyota Premio

    Dude gotta disagree with you. Nissan would be as reliable as a toyota would be any day. Taking the primera into consideration (since the cefiro is more powerful so would not be that good on fuel), it is about the same size as a premio and plus has every single option, climate control, xenon headlamps, etc. Its as practical, about the same on fuel and fairly reliable. In a britsh car manufacturer test the total annual cost spent for repairs and maintenance -toyota 400 pounds and nissan 230 pounds. So finally both cars would be equally good, but in making the final choice it would just depend on your personal favourite

    Toyota Premio

    Well you could get a primera unreg for max 3 with about the same mileage. The primera has every option the premio does including the reverse camera. If you dont care about a reverse camera a cefiro is much larger and way more comfier, with better performance, 6 speakers, electric seats. The XG is another good buy. It has triptronic, TCS, and the usual as the cefiro. Its also a V6 so will be more powerful, but fuel wise not so good. Itll be about 2.7m. There was a cedric for sale bout a year back for 3.5 million. That was really worth the money, but i guess by now must be 5 million.

    Toyota Premio

    Actually its not just looks. The premio is a larger car. Its more of a camry rival while tha allion is more of a civic rival. The allion is the new carina and the premio the new corona. The premio is actually not bad, with its reverse camera, etc.3.85m is the usual price for the premio, but once you consider it, theres a lot of cars you can buy for that price. The primera is virtually the same as the premio but way cheaper. Then theres a recon tuscon, sportage. Vw passat, nissan cefiro. Then theres the 98 Merc e class which is quite good. So i guess for 3.85 its not worth it, cos the only extra cool option is the reverse camera, and you can fit that on any car for max 2 lakhs.
  4. What about all the Ralli art stickers? Ive seen suzukis, nissan's, honda's, etc with them. Dont they realise its ony for mitsubishi
  5. Does anyone know when lbn is comin back??
  6. I think everyone will find this interesting Top gear
  7. The new 2007 Lexus LS 460. I guess it looks better than its predecessor. Its radar guidance system is supposed to be more advanced than the mercs too.
  8. oops missed that. anyways i wonder what the speed would be like. 25 mph?
  9. Sweet RCs How much do those babies cost. Ive seen some online with nitro for $300. Top speed 75mph. Are these the same?
  10. My dads optima was kinda sluggish and the engine check light kept flashing. Once it was checked out by the company, turns out the automatic gearbox sensor had failed. Cost about 18000 to get it changed, but now it works fine. The speedometer sensor had gone once before too. Cost about the same to get it replaced. Damn cars and their sensors..
  11. There was one merc 190E for about 1.9 million. I think you should consider a 94 beemer. it looks good and has all the functions the merc has. You could get a good bmw for about 1.4.
  12. There was a chinese jeep i saw on some website. It was released in Britain, but failed to pass safety ratings, because at a collision at 45 km/h the front driver and passenger would both die. Its pretty cheap, but with these safety ratings I guess no one would touch them.
  13. It looks more like a pimped out trishaw. Seems kinda pointless in Sri Lanka. Ive not seen one one the road. TOp speed is 65km/h. People who want to save money on petrol are not going to buy a car that is 1.6 million Seems there was a lawsuit taken against the Chery. They've supposed to have based it entirely on the chevy (daewoo) matiz. Even the name chevy, chery. Daewoo matiz Chery QQ
  14. hehe gotta agree with you dude. I think the car's way over the top. I dont actually see the point of it
  15. Geez didnt know a cayman was so cheap, considering a volvo xc90 was sum 18 million.

    Hyundai Tuskani

    The 2.7 V6 seems nice. I saw a black one for sale in Dutugamenu street. A nce black one. I think he wanted 2.6m for it. It looks pretty nice.
  17. I think Alfa has gotten better within the past couple of years. From the top gear car survey in 2003, they were placed last. car manufacturers like perodua beat them. I think you could get a used 156 now for about 1.7million, considering it rivals a 3 series, its is quite cheap.
  18. I think it looks kinda nice. The lights look like their from the azera (new XG)
  19. There used to be a dull orange murano for sale in a shop in kohuwala. The reverse camera is also cool
  20. Actually machang they still havent updated it. On the Q&A they said they pictures are not live and they are 2 years back.

    Toyota Harrier

    yeah trying to sell any car nowadays is pretty hard. Ive seen some cars at car places which have been there for more than a year. One of these was a 3 series beemer.

    Toyota Harrier

    Yep im sure. It was in the motormag quite some time ago. Actually depriciation mainly exists in Britain. In sri lanka it doesnt actually matter. If you buy a kia rio for around 1.5 recon, you'll be able to sell it for around 1.3, which is not bad. The 01 sonata has depriciated wuite a lot , but thats only because of the sri lankan market, since its quite heavy on fuel, where as the elantra is the same price second hand even though its a class below it, but it sells since its a 1.6l.
