I am new to this forum and I'm about to purchase my first car for home use. Cars that I'm interested in are Toyota Corolla 121 and Toyota Aqua 2013 or higher. This may sound bizzare. I'll explain why these are the models that I am going back and forth.
Reasons troubling me to make a decision are,
- Kind of want to go for a newer hybrid car ( not a very logical reason. I know that but I just like that ☺️ )
- Aqua is a smaller car but space is limited compared to 121
- Aqua's milage is better since it is a hybrid
- We have 5 members in the home, therefore it is easier to fit in a 121 than an Aqua, and with the ground clearance between the two 121 is better for that
- 121 is more spacious than Aqua and can carry up to 6 people without any problem
- Some are saying that Hybrid batteries and ABS systems are giving some issues and for replacement, it would cost high ( I know I should bear the costs that comes with any car ☹️ )
- I have driven a 121 for about a year and I know the comfort and the issues I could face with this car
Usage
* Car will be for home use
* Most probably it will be parked during weekdays
* For a single weekend there's a good chance I will cover around 250km
* I am from Kandy, so mostly I'm going on hilly terrains
* There is some luggage I'm carrying around, but not heavy and can fit into both cars
* When traveling not always 5 of us are traveling. Mostly 2 or 4 of us will
I know these two cars are completely different from one another for comparison. But, my liking is between these two. Can anyone help me to make the decision on which car should I go for? Mentioned reasons are the ones troubling me.
Does anyone know how exactly this is supposed to work? They haven’t really started brand new imports again right?
Pricing seems relatively fine in the grand scheme of things, given how 10/15 year old cars are still pretty expensive in our market
A guy advertises a mileage blocker on the quick site saying that his device blocks the vehicle mileage from changing on the odometer. Is it legal to advertise stuff like this?
Bought a 2007 (Reg 2011) Vitz SCP90 (Mileage 180K+) for the family (will be used by my father). Seems to be in good condition but had some new owner repairs/replaces done to have a free mind.
Sinopec 95 oct performs much better than ceypetco. Also burns tad faster ( maybe because the car is driven harder because of said performance jump)
Auto Diesel no difference.
