PradeepM · September 20, 2020

Hi guys ,

I'm planning to buying a vehicle, budget about 3.5M to 5M, My Knowledge on Vehicles is very much limited .

I still cannot come to a conclusion with little experience. I'm ok with MPVs and SUV/Cross vehicles (With fuel economy in mind).

For the MPV I have Following options :

1. Honda N-Box Custom
2. Toyota Tank/Roomy Custom GT

I would like to know.

1.The reliability of each vehicle
2.The handling of comfortability , driving performance ,Brake sensitivity
3.Spare parts availability
4.Ability to resale
5.Driving safety

6.Agents and Service Places

7.When driving long distances (how its behave)

8.Since both are running on turbo will engine wear quickly(engine life time (nbox 650cc turbo vs toyota 990 cc turbo)) compared to normal engine ?

9.Specially need to know about Brake system and how vehicle behave at high speeds (over 80Kmph) like body shaking, body tilt when driving fast and taking bends ?

What are possible other problems /con's I can face . Kindly mentioned your recommendations.

Any other possible vehicles on this budgets?

For the SUV/CrossOvers I have Following options(Euro Models hungarian made 1.4 Ltr engines) :

1.Suzuki Sx4 Cross (2018 - 2020 models)

2.Grand Vitara (2018 - 2020 models)

3.Suzuki Escudo

1.The reliability of each vehicle
2.The handling of comfortability , driving performance ,Brake sensitivity
3.Spare parts availability and How about prices ?
4.Ability to resale
5.Driving safety

6.Agents and Service Places (Maintainability)

7. When driving long distances (how its behave)

8. Engine life time

9. Fuel economy of these vehicles

Any other possible vehicles on this budgets ?

If you don't need to buy a vehicle right now, I would wait: Prices on these vehicles will drop over the next year as the world gradually gets over COVID-19 (and Sri Lankan vehicle importers stop their price gouging).

Having said that, I would pick from any of the three above. IMO the three above are much nicer to drive than the other two options listed. (Reason: A wider wheelbase with a larger engine and more ground clearance)
