My first car

[ShehanZe]

Hi, guys this is my first post and I need a big fav,

Im gonna by my first car and I thought of buying a Japanese one instead of a indian rubbish.

I my self know nothing about vehicles. 

I ride over 50KM per day in heavy traffic and low traffic (it differs) however it is inside the city. So I am willing to buy a Nissan FB15 or a N16.

my heart says to buy a N16 coz of the looks and brain says a FB15. please help

Forget both and buy a WagonR considering your daily figures. You won't regret. I myself drove a N 16 and it would cost u more. FB 15 is too old. If you don't care about fuel economy, my first recommendation is an EU.

if you are looking for a Japanese sedan, you have three options ;

1. Nissan N16, Syplhy   

2. Toyota Carina, Corolla 

3. Mitsubishi Lancer, Galant

4. Mazda Familia

But all these comes with quite high mileage .  if car has not been looked after properly will give you lot of trouble.  Always get from a reliable place/person.

Good Luck

here's an idea - keep your options open go and look for several cars in your budget range. FB15's N16's preseas corollas etc. you'll then get a good idea on how the market looks like and realize that some models are way hacked than the others - some are overpriced etc. 

then filter out the cars that are in best condition and then make the decision. 

i saw someone had told you to buy a Wagon R - some unreg kei cars ARE in your range  but i assume you are in for a Sedan with a 1.5ish engine

If you particularly going for a N16, make sure there are no issue with the engine sensors (crack sensor) by a qualified mechanic or agents.
