Noticed several - aquas going around with their windows down during the weekend - I don't think A/C has a LOT of effect on fuel consumption in modern hybrids or modern cars as opposed to the older cars.· 4 replies
Also the heat will wear out the battery soon. I get we are all range anxious now due to the fuel crisis but still might be good to evaluate the pros and cons

So I checked couple of Rextons during the weekend (even during the fuel crisis, I went on hunting for a good one) and did close to 150km trip. I found a topping condition vehicle (i would say interior and exterior combined 96% good) out of all the vehicles i checked this was the best with proper pulling power no lag at all.· 2 replies
Now i'm kinda so much into it wanting to buy it ASAP. But with current situation, the asking price is little higher. As per my predictions, prices of these should reduce further within next two months. I hope the price of hybrids will not drop drastically compared to these.
So now i'm considering whether to wait another 1-2 months for this or shall I go ahead with the purchase? For that I need to get rid of my hybrid as well (these days i'm not sure people are purchasing vehicles due to high loan rates and finance rates).
Open for suggestions...

Question
alpha17
Hello guys,
Yeah I have been planning to buy a car for about 3 years,but gave first place to family expenses and higher education.Finally I decided to move on during the next few months to a new ride.My good old 121 is still serving me without letting me down but I think I had her enough(5+ yrs).
Finally I narrowed down my search list to these two babes,the Ex and Fd4 as both of them are in the reachable price bracket.Previously had the idea for a 3rd gen prius but it is useless as I only do less than 1000kms per month.So my requirements are these.
1.Should be comfortable on long journeys.I might have to travel to places like Jaffna and Matara once or twice in a month.
2.Stability in speeds over 100 as I had to maintain such a speed speacially when travelling to jaffna.
3.Interior space both front and rear.
4.Fuel economy is not a main priority.I have an extreme light foot most of the times??.But if someone can give exact fuel figures I would be glad.
5.Should have a bit of soul in it???.A bit of handling and oomph
Yet to drive both of them as they are very rare in our area.The problems that I have are
1.Does the Ex feels underpowered due to its 1500cc engine and 1200+kg weight?Also the 1600cc variant is rare and exceeds my budget.
2.I've heard the Fd series is not comfortable on long journeys and has stiffer suspension.Is it true?If someone who had driven both the fd4 and 121 can give me an advice that would be much valuable.
I dumped the Axio because everyone has it and handles worse than the 121.Allion and Premio,again overpriced and common.But I would love to own a 240 series Allion on a Premio with 1800cc,but rarity and 100k+ kms milege keeps myself away.
So i hope you guys will help me to make a good decision.Also any other choices are welcome.Thanks
