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.
So I'm kinda eyeing on Ford Focus ST 2013-2015 YOM car with a manual tranny. What do you think about the choice? any specifics I should consider before purchase?
The EP71 keeps ticking along - great grocery getter/lane zipper but unsurprisingly a bit uncomfortable on long trips - few people asking if I'm selling it as well. In a quandary as to let it go or not and what will be the replacement for a beater?
