    Mokak gannada kiyala hithaganna ba... Help ekak denda balanna.. :)

    Machan mama vitz ekai demio ekai dekama use karala thiyanawa- NOw using Demio- (my sister now uses the vitz 1000cc & she spend more money on fuel than me :P)

    Vitz 1000cc eka thama oyata gannawa nam 27-29 range ekata ganna puluwan. 1.3 eka above 32/=. 1000 cc eke options adui- fuel efficiency adui-pick up eka adui-inside space (and even the dicky) adui.
    Demio eke options hodai (Auto sense vipers, headlights etc) - engin eka 1.3 eka 27-29 range ekata ganna puluwan. pick up eka ela. fuel hodata karanawa vitz 1000 cc ekata wada. Ethula hodata ida thiyenawa- engin eke sadde vitz ekata wada adui. ethulata sadded aduwen enne- (mata personally demio eka lassanai vits ekata wada)

    Swift eka kohoma beluwath gaana wediyi thiyena option tikata saha hatchback ekakata e gaana wediyi mama hithan hetiyata)

    but there is marcket factor in SL ne- ape unta mona jarawak wunath toyota nam mal thiyala ganiwi.

    If you are buying for a long term use go for demio - if not go for vitz:confused:

    Salli tikak viyadam karanna puluwan nam vitz 1.3 ekata yanna 32 withara wenawa mama hithanne- eke options hodai -fuel th hodai
    What best for me is first Honda Fit
    then Demio next toyota vitz! Swift is out for me!


    Its sad that ppl in SL do not wanna try anything otherthan toyota.. if u go out of cmb ppl knows only the corolla & the Lancer as cars. it is very hard to sell a Honda ES or a city once you are out of colombo.. this is a very sad situation. Also as we all know most of the toyotas in sl are overvalued due to this stupid market we all have created.. & the other good cars like honda.. mazda doesnt have a good market cos the common belief is if it is a car it has to be a Toyota.

    after a long research ive found that the Demio is a better choice than the other two..
    Very Correct bro- Our people buy any bullshit if its from a brand which happened to be famous- Never think about quality, the facilities they get , personal requirements etc.! Very sad!

    depends on the year & the condiiton

    Swift ranges btween 23.5 to 3.2mil

    Vitz 2.5mil up

    Demio 2.5mil up

    Mekanam sahodaraya weradiyi - Since only 2 year margin vehicles are allowed to import as reconditioned the price went up- and even if you you'r self importing those from an auction those will cost more than this-

    Usually the Demio and vitz are now above 27 . and Swift goes above the 30 lak margin.

    Fugures were taken from AL ads.

    btw im not a hatchback fan.. this is for lady to drive to & from office everyday.

    I luv suvs & the HRV is my favorite (for my budget :) ) its very sad ppl dnt like that awsome machine.. & the es8 es5 are also in my list

    Vits has a bit of underpowered engine it seems.. its 1.3engine produces only 67Bhp while the 1.2of swift kicks 97Bhp.. but out of all these the Demio has better ratings & reviews

    Usually they put the ad with a price without Vat I suppose bro! And may be for permit holders other wise!
    I totally agree with you, its a lady type- And my Fav is SUV too - but the budget is not fit for me right now:baffled::P;)

    machan these figures are not in par with our road and traffic conditions
    E ratawala city limit kiyanne ape wage gaata gaaata hira wevi jam asse yana ewata newei (slow speed walata thama e ratawala oya figures)and also roads are better in quality than ours in colombo- so around 9-10 is ok machan!
    also our fuel standards are also very low. we still use euro standard 2 fuel which will not give the highest efficacy with current day engines which are made for euro standard4.:sorry:
