What Good Vehicles Can Be Bought For A Engineer's Permit?

[YesinLegend]

I've already been to Hyundai.Great cars but those guys r over flooded with new orders.Our order won't be met till 2012 feb.BMWs are great but the 3 series is crammed. Can anyone recommend some good sedans or SUVs that are offered for this permit.

Max retail price: US$25,000

Engine capacity : Petrol - < 2000cc

Diesel - < 2400cc

The Sedan would be a either a midsize sedan or a small premium luxury sedan (like the new 320D)

SUV- Midsize segment ( Like the 2011 kia Sorent)

Do you mean ANY car is ok? Don't you have any specific needs?

For example, I would say Terios. But will it suit your needs?

Here are some options:

Toyota: Yaris, Avanza, 141

A*W: Sunny, Bluebird Sylphy, Swift Japan, Swift India, Swift Dzire (India)

Mag City: Chevrolet Cruze (India), Chevrolet Aveo (India)

Softlogic: Terios, Ford Focus (India I guess) and some other Fords

Prestige: 320d, X1d

Unit#d Mot#rs: Lancer, Montero Sport, Outlander, Zotye Nomad, Viva Elite

Senok: Audi A4

Hyundai Lanka - Obviously you have seen the vehicles

Carplan: KIA Sportage

My personal choices (purely personal): Outlander, Lancer, Sportage and Terios

if i were you a lancer ex for sure

[gpmac]

check to see if you can get a Freelander for your permit

plus Micro has a new suv called Korando also worth a look

Well my father doesn't like the freelander.It's reliability has improved from the previous gen but it still isn't good enough. yeah korando is worth a look I suppose. Thanx

I do like the outlander,Sportage (won't fit my dad's needs though). I thought Audi didn't offer choices for permit holders.Must have that checked.Thank you

Well if you can get the 1.8T A4 for the permit, that would be the best choice IMHO

Cant comment on the reliability of the new one but Agents offer 3 year unlimited milage warrenty. It seems to prove a point i guess.

You should be able to get a FL Diesel for 6.5M LKR on permit according to the Motor Mag this month. For the most capable SUV in its class, I feel this is a damn good deal.

AUDI : A4 ...Again not sure but I see that its in the above list

VW: any one has info about Tiguan and other mid sized SUV's they have

PEUGEOT : the 508 is a beautiful car...Does anyone have any info about this...
