What To Choose?

[Buddhika M H]

my friend is on the market for car. he likes something small. he considers

1. Cherry QQ

2.Suzuki Alto

3.Maruti 800 / something

he said that theres japanese and indian versions of alto is it right? which is good (jap one is used)?

he considers more about fuel consumption and interior space than performance.

i know these are not the everyday choices at Autolanka, bit too low maybe but any suggestion would be great as i dont know about these ones to help him.

Thanks

out of the choices, i would pick the alto... its a decent car. not a fan of the maruti 800 and not a fan of the chery qq looks...

Just to broaden the choice, check the Proton Savvy and the Micro Trend too.

i would go for alto. yes there are 2 models japanese and indian. japanese one has better interior, better pulling power(larger engine than the indian alto)

but its not fuel efficient as the indian one.

indian one is quite good on fuel. If u don't floor it u could easily get over 15km/l in colombo. about 20km/l outstation.

i don't know exact milage for the japanese version.

get a Micro Trend... it looks much better than those 3...

I would not buy a Micro Trend after having close look at it. It looks good as it was designed by Pininfarina. But they (Micro) have a long long way to go before they discover build quality!

I'd buy the Alto. Or the Savvy.

What about the Kelisa? Savvy is on another price range I think.

hey, true, i think the kelissa woud be a good choice.. and it does amazing milage!!!.... as mivec said, it can do upto 27kmpl (if i remember right) long-distance..

[Buddhika M H]

which rock have you been hiding under? last i heard the trend is 1.5mill...

[Pericles]

which rock have you been hiding under? last i heard the trend is 1.5mill...

1.44 was what I remember, but the Oct Motormag has it at 1.265. Have they actually reduced it? Given price should be base model, maybe thats why its less?

Thats crazy isnt it? If there are no import tax, freight involved why the Fcuk does it have to be so expensive? Since its Sri Lankan it should be max 7laks. Then even i would buy one as a 2nd car

mmmmm, i love it...i want it, red is my favourite color

[streetKIA]

Hmm the trend looks nice, but i would say go for the kelisa. It even has a drivers airbag plus its full option.

Did micro get the body shipped from china, then assembled here and badged?

kamak naha bung. Just appreciate wats made in our country

[Buddhika M H]

isnt Kelisa is smaller than others ?(specially in interior space?)

1. BTW, how is a market price range for registered Corolla N121 and AE110 L, and Sunny N16 (the least and highest prices) with normal specs ???

2.heard that N121 is good on fuel comparing with others (especially N16) in its class(bcause of the VVTi) is it true? is a notable difference (if there r iany users please post avg. fuel consump.)?

Thanks.
