Okay. There is only one thing left to do as I mentioned before. You can factory reset the head unit by putting it into reverse gear. If that doesn’t fix it, take it to a car audio guy. Probably a 5 minutes job.

Fuel economy - Vitz>Fit>Axela
Toyota would be easier to maintain and Axela would be the most comfortable one. Fit will have the best legroom and interior space. Vitz would be horrible long trips if you opt for the 1000cc engine due to noise. Both Fit and Mazda would be nice to drive. Mazda has more weighted and sharp steering while the fit has a bit lighter and sharp steering. Given the size of the Fit with the 1340cc engine it would be more powerful and nippy. I have only driven one Axela, and that was in a car sale. For me, it felt a bit underpowered and suspension felt stiff. The engine is much more rev happy. Best thing is to inspect every model and do a test drive. As for me, i prefer the pudgy suspension and smooth driving of a Toyota at the expense of handling. I’m a bit far from Colombo, so maintaining a Toyota here is much easier and spares are freely available. Don’t think about resale, as if the price is right, you can sell it.

Welcome to the forum Mithz07
Haven’t heard or seen one yet. I checked on Google and wiki. Seems to be made in India. Therefore don’t have high hopes in the build quality section. Anyway Hyundai and KIA are not as good as the japs when it comes to build quality. But seems to be having lots of bells & whistles. Best thing is to visit the showroom and do a test drive.
Cheers
p.s- I checked the Hyundai SL site and it shows that the Creta is equipped with dual clutch transmission, which is similar to the one in Vezel. Those dual clutches tend to wear out much faster than single clutch ones,typically around 80,000-100,000km mark in the Vezel. Anyway the Vezel is made for japan, a country with cold weather and the SL heat is a major issue for this excessive wear. Since the Hyundai is imported by the agents, the system might be specifically designed for Sri Lanka.
