Im driving a Mitsu Galant '99 model diesel 2.0L Super Salon......Since of late the belt of the car seems to be making that dreaded screeching noise, when the AC is on.....My dad said its prolly cos the belt is loose or something but went to the mechanics and they said its pretty tight and theres no problem...for my luck the damn noise didnt come at that time so they couldnt hear the problem.....
The belt cant be burnt out cos the car has extreme low milage...just 12,000 odd even though the car was bought 7 years ago....we hardly used it cos i was out of the country and my dad doesnt drive it that much...
Wat do u think the problem is?? Any place I can take it to get a proper diagnosis???
So for a spirited convo like this old times; ?BYD
My father has gone ninja about getting one, despite being the new hype/fad here these are common across the world and I've seen a few cross 100,000km in Nepal and Australia.
Seal - Looks nice, very premium interior but too low for my applications
Sealion - Very Premium, feels very well built, BUT that 1.5L on that reasonable chunk of car with a measly 18KW battery seems like a recipe for trouble, incase they sink in value at least the fuel economy must justify that (They say it's a BYD engine - though the lore is it is a hyundai engine)
Atto 3 - Most sold from their lot apparently, common af, Seems to be the best bang for buck IMHO, Its electric since BYD is famed for that, Interior is kinda good, the thing is larger than a vezel but not too large like the Sealion, cheap mobility I guess with less things to go wrong
Dolphin, almost a smaller atto and again too car like and not suited for my application.
JK nailed it on the price and distribution but the only guaranteed thing here is the lot are gonna muck up the aftersales. The Kandy center staff behave like the crew from a Govt. post office.
What are your thoughts and opinions? Could this be the next Wagon R or is this a passing fad like the Micros of 2000s-2010s?
I have an empty parking slot at home previously occupied for 6 years by the starlet and 3 months by an AD wagon -what would be a bang-for-the-buck fun shitbox? Preferably auto as I live in a crowded suburb that has sapped the joy of stick shift out of my system.
