  1. Water AND Air cooled huh? There's one of these gathering rust near my place. I believe it's just 4 years old...
  2. if he's working in a fixed schedule, he can also consider carpooling with somebody. there are plenty of ppl coming from ingiriya to work in colombo. or he can take public transport too... But take a good look at that Punto I mentioned. It might just work out for u. As a former Punto owner (Grande Punto), I was extremely happy with its fuel economy.
  3. Just out of curiosity, where is he travelling from?
  4. BULLSHIT Quote from police.lk: Question : 17. What is the pedestrian crossing Law? Answer: The pedestrian should concentrate on vehicles approaching in the front The pedestrian should cross the road from one side to the other immediately If the pedestrian crossing is manned by a Policeman, the pedestrian should adhere to the orders of the Policeman on duty. When the vehicular movement is controlled by signal lights pedestrian should cross the road at the pedestrian crossing The pedestrian should cross the road at the pedestrian crossing without causing hindrance to any vehicles stopped at the crossing or causing obstructions to other users The pedestrian should not cross the road within fifty meters on either side of the pedestrian crossing. If traffic signal lights are operating, a pedestrian should not cross the road (when the red man is indicated ) When green man indicates the pedestrian should cross the road immediately It is safer for the users to cross the road at the pedestrian crossing when the signal light indicates red, to stop the traffic movement. @ripper: The cop should have booked the pedestrian not you. I think you got a case there
  5. suzuki X90?
  6. There's a diesel Punto (JR-series) in classifieds. That's the only car that I can think of, that will come even close to your main criteria. In fact, it may meet all your criteria except for the doubtful resale value. Not sure about the 19 km/l part but that could come close. Multijet engines are quite efficient.

    I feel sorry for the one who will buy your car, when u sell it one day.

  10. I second The Annoying Guy's comment. Grande Puntos are just lovely rides. Looks great, rides great and does great on fuel. In fact, I once clocked around 20km/l on a trip to Kandy. Only problems is the duologic gearbox which is kinda difficult to get used to. Better half hated it. Had to get rid of it cos of that.
  11. @MD - Aqua is one of them hybrid monkey-wagons. probably does around 20 or so, since toyota claims its more cheap-ass than the prius.
  12. Some cars can be a real headache for their owners
  13. This really is a no-brainer. Get yourself a Kelisa. There are few of them in the classifieds, including a J-Series one for 12/60. But it seems like a Manual.
  14. What are your requirements? Size? Fuel Efficiency? Age?
  15. 2001 model didn't come with the campro engine. check again. First Wajas to come with the campro engine were manufactured circa 2006. Campro also needs to be fed Octane 95. Look for a sticker that says "4G18" near the chassis number to confirm. Waja is a heavy car that is not designed for fuel economy. Even on highway driving, it wouldn't give more than 10 to the litre. Any claims to the contrary may be fabrications by someone whos trying to flog off one.
  16. When I read 'accessories' I kinda facepalmed myself, thinking somebody is trying to rice a merc
  17. Only trouble it will be on the higher side of your budget ~2.4 million and u will not have many options. If you can live with that (and live with the fact that its made in Thailand), Vios is a good choice.
  18. Mk1 VW Golf
  19. oh come on don't deny it. that's definitely you. would somebody else like to take my turn?
  20. dude, are u the one taking a leak there??? anyway that's a serena
  21. Is it Campro or 4G18? I had a Campro which did about 8 km/l in the city. As far as I know, 4G18 does a tad bit more. All this is if the car is in good nick. If the car is hacked, expect lower figures.
  22. Bingo.
  23. here's an easy one.
  24. frickin daihatsu pyzar.
  25. u mean fuel efficiency? get yourself an alto or a prius if that's your sole concern
