I drive a Nissan Cefiro A 32 and lately the engine stalls while driving. I got D*MO to do a engine tuneup and for a while it was ok. Then I started getting the problem and I put the car to A*W. They checked the system with the CONSULT and said there is nothing wrong with the system and found a loose connection of the socket which connects to my MAF sensor. Plugged it in and ran for a day. The engine stalled in the middle of the road again. I restarted it and there were no issues and the car would start to move. Took to A*W again the following day and they ran a full electrical system check up. No issues were found and they suggested I change the Ignition Coils all 6 of them. I'm looking at over 60K for all 6 coils. I do not get a miss but at time when I throttle the car takes a moment to kick in and I feel a drag. However after a few seconds the car gives the power and starts to move. Went to my local mechanic and he recommended I change the fuel pump. Took a second hand one and ran for a day with no luck. Now I'm out of options. My mechanic says the Ignition coils cannot be bad as A*W says and he says it might be the ECU. My question to all here is what am I looking at here? If it's the ECU where can i get a second hand one?
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.

All,
