People will not risk their money, more buying does not directly implies more success. but there is a connection

There should be guys voted "NO" who is already driving hybrids these days. It's better you open the poll again. Peoples misconcepts about hybrids has changed a lot over the last year. I think you might get 80-90% success and 10% fail

How much is the new price of viva Elite? It's better to go for Japaneese recondition than Elite. The long term gain is more for Japaneese vehicles and the resale values.

Any updates on this law? As I heard it's not finalized yet as there are objections from many parties

I don't think you can get Nomad for 1.9million. http://srilankamails.com/cgi-bin/pro/mail.cgi/archive/co/20090617033632/ http://www.govlk.com/content/zotye-nomad

You are right MINIACE. Some people are in dream worlds. Government is going to tighten the imports, this will not make country in right direction. Look at countries like Malaysia and take example from them.

Hi, this will definitely increase the vehicle prices. Also this will create monopoly in the market. Can't expect good service from big car sales. Even they are not showing original JAAI certificates and lot of vehicles are either repaired or repainted here or from agents in Japan. To maixmize profits they do all the unethical activities such as changing ODO meter etc etc.... I have lost faith in these big car sales as I have used many vehicles bought from them and most of them are ODO changed. E.g. I bought Nissan FB15, it had only 12000 and at 20,000 I had to replace rear hubs, front CV joints. Another example, I bought CR41 with ODO meter 60000Km from biggest sale in Sri Lanka and after 5000kms I had to replace front suspension and garage guy told this is diffidently more than 100,000Km. Because of these, lot of people used to go for small importers or they bought down vehicles for their names from Japan directly. This has caused big suppliers suffering.You can still find cars bought more than 1 year ago are still in these sales. How can we keep faith on them?

Another stupid decision. Is this a democratic country?

Hi, If you have any idea of selling your vehicle, contact me, I would like to buy it reg,

I have used many diesel vehicles CR41, CR42, Toyota Corolla, Toyota HIace, none of those gave these figures Some people try to say very high fuel economy to promote their cars, but after using it for some time,you get to know that it only do half of it Correct me if I am wrong.

Go for Hybrid or look for the cars already imported to the country. You can get same model for 3.2 from local market.

Got it from Ajith Motors Darley road, it's Rs. 800 including fixing charges.

There are lot of youtube vidoes which describes how to drive efficiently for Insight. In Honda Insight battery is charged when you are using the breaking or going downhill. This battery power is used when you are doing hard acceleration to give required energy. Always keep gap between the front vehicle and your one. Hard breaking will loose lot of energy which can be used to charge the battery if you break softly. When you drive 30-60Kmh in constant speed the car is powered only from battery (you can see this display by changing the info button in your stering wheel) - observere this while you are driving and you will learn how to drive economically. Some users claim very high fuel efficiency by following these guidelines (watch the youtube videos) Also at traffic the engine cuts down when you break, don't release your break unnecessaraly.

I have being using an Insight for few weeks and below are the figures: With AC ON. Colombo City limits with high traffic: 15Km/L Colombo - Katunayaka (lesser traffic roads): 20Km//L Southern HighWay -Colombo to Walipanna: 22Km/L The figures would be better with AC OFF. Also I have noticed that the number of passengers don't matter much when comes to fuel economy Thanks

I have used both Prius 2nd gen and Honda Insight. Prius has better fuel economy than Insight when it goes in Traffic. Honda Insight do almost same as prius in long distance travel. Prius is more quieter and has more space than Honda. But Honda is real pleasure to drive, and has better dash board and aerodynamic design. If I were to use one out of them, I will go for prius given better fuel economy in traffic.
