hmmmmmmm..

So you must be having d PWR and MAN buttons in your car rite? isnt it?

well..it would be a good choice as a first car, having English plates, later YOM and carrying the 'Toyota' name, and as said above its very good on fuel as well. personally i do not know about the comfort of it, but surely better than of a Maruti, and i guess these cars do have good market as its low on budget and of the fuel economy. cant complain for its 4 doors, size and other comforts and d price. One of my friends actually purchased a Soluna today for 11 lakhs.

virensti - thats sad to hear..for some reason i was not comfortable with d Exide so went for a GS battery. anyways if its under warrenty period, you should get it changed, good if they will give back a other type of battery but i am not sure about that.. And let us know if you are able to find sealed batteries?

Hmmm..here we go: 1. Rebota Battery Shop, Moratuwa (Near the Bank of Ceylon - on the oppersit side/Land side) 2. Marine Drive - first Battery Shop which you get when your entering from the wellawatta-Ramakrishna Road- (on land side)

well, in the first post he had mentioned that a engine repair has been done from the company too. wot more to be expected? i cant believe someone using a KIA SUV had to use such a crappy cheap oil..? paying a decent amount for the car it self. sad 2 hear these..

As far as i know - this depends on the Engine technologies used, so earlier it was the carburetors, then EFI, then VVT-i and now even newer technologies are used with on going improvements so the latest models are to be lasted a lot longer. on the second note, its hard just to decide the engine condition from the mileage that had been done. it depends on how the engine had been maintained, and cared. simple example would be our selfs - depending on the food that we take - healthy or unhealthy, exercise we do, things we do will determine how well we would be isnt it? cant tell from the age nah? u can be older but at the same time be stronger if had well maintained. and petrol cars can go to 300-400K mileage without problem (if maintained good), and even more may be with a engine rebuild.

Why cant you try a better oil for your car? Mobil, Castrol, Shell? why are you using cheap crap?

Just check with all the other places other than from the agents - u should be getting d same rate that i was given

well, come will U, will get you a one for that price, checked my self at 2 places..

8 litereS? seems someone had a juise from it..when i had d Ceres i did a ATF change it took only 4.2 Liters, mind you it was a 1.6CC engine. and the FB15's are 1500CC. hmmmm..

Anywhere where they sell Exide but its a NS40

Aha..Thanks for the info guys, got a GS-Battery cost me 6500/- yep, Exide was there for 5K but something made me go for the GS brand. seems maintenance free aren't there anymore.

Hey ppl, wanting to get a Maintenance Free Battery. checked at few places but no luck? any idea where that i can buy a such battery? HELP pls

got and replied

Well..its lite weight and works superb! well well, wots ur mail address?

Guys, having 2 replace Aliz's Battery - Could you please suggest a good brand with known facts?

AFAIK the 2.7CC VVT-i does well on fuel, and has considerable power without any issues given. have a 3.4CC version (non VVT-i) does only 4 - 5 in Colombo, but pulls lyk a sports car, believe me!

good info!

absolutely no difference! 3 days after d switch back..

U knw that i wouldnt switch back without a gud proper reason..trust me! pump 90OCT closing your eyes next time! and sit in thinking u pumped 95OCT and have a drive..u'll know then

Whats d car?

Well..this time it goes for Nissan! well, enough reasons why you shouldn't buy a Vista! if your selecting between these two, go for the FB13..

http://www.thelocal.se/20918/20090726/ shouldn't miss! count on me too

After almost 10 months pumping 95OCT to d Allion, yesterday i pumped 90OCT (had enough reasons 2 do so) and i'm experiencing no difference at all, lets c if i am getting d same fuel figures. its lil less than usual since i'm taking d Dehiwala road and getting caught to d huge traffic in d morning..but still last week it had done 10.5, lets c. will be posting d results..
