3.5 Mil වලට ගන්න පුලුවන් හොඳ කාර් එකක්

[PUKARIS]

You need to visit Nilwala Motors sometime Check how many low-mileage JDM Toyota CVTs are being repaired/replaced every day there. Ever wondered why Honda FIT aria 7-speed CVT transmission equipped cars have such a low second-hand market value?

Future of the automobiles is NOT based solely on CVT, check out Mazda's patented conventional auto transmission. Check out what DCT is. Yes, CVT is smooth and saves fuel etc etc but reliability-wise it has a long way to catch up to conventional auto (which I think it will someday - but that day is not today) and let's not forget the fact it is plain boring to drive - but for the average consumer that is not much of a concern, reliability, however, is - at-least in Sri Lanka.

If you're buying a used vehicle in Sri Lanka, 90% of the time there is no way
for you to know if it has been maintained properly. CVT transmissions are VERY sensitive to maintenance, unlike conventional autos - employees of Toyota Lanka themselves weren't sure which hole to pour new CVT fluid in - (member marquis shared an article on this matter) that says a lot about how CVTs are being maintained in SL innit?

So for the time being, conventional autos/manuals are the way to go if you intend to use the car more than 5 years without having to worry about the transmission. Go for CVT if the seller has complete maintenance records or you're buying the car unregistered/Brand new, or you're gonna sell the car anyways in about 3-5 years time or when you feel the transmission is not performing as well as it did before

quite a bit of a explanation.. I am not trying to prove my point of CVT better here, But CVT is a newer transmission system which was introduced to replace the decades old conventional auto. There are millions of vehicles produced everyday equiping with CVT now, even at 2017. If it's as a such failure as you mentioned why would they produce CVTs still?
As you mentioned there may be such failures or epic fails, but it did not stop the production of CVT vehicles. Those failures would make newer CVT much more reliable, after refining the transmission much more with the researching on the past failures.
If you are correct why would any one still producing CVT? if it's not reliable, higher maintenance cost?
Toyota is a company reputed for reliablility. they would not make a unreliable car, it will ruin their globally accepted reputation. but still they are producing more of the 2017 vehicles equipped with CVT. Why is that?
And their are some idiots are working in Toyota Lanka. they are thinking that they are the God for Toyota vehicles that's why their foolish attitudes toward the customers. Not all of them but some of them.

I don't want to oppose you but I want to know the truth. As I see I don't feel CVTs are unreliable as you think.

Read my post again, CVTs are getting better day by day and they will be as reliable as the conventional auto some day, but that's not a reason to go for an old, used CVT transmission with little or no maintenance history.

Earlier days people didn't know how to maintain them and alot of people ruined them

hmm, could be true. But still I would go for a belta CVT rather than Yaris. However looking for the maintenance record might be a valuable point.

I know a person who owned a yaris and yet it consume average of 10kmpl, Even the premio at economy mode giving him average of 22 kmpl in the same root..

I think regular auto is the best option for srilankan conditions due to many CVT/DCT failures.. current mazda 6 speed auto gearbox is highly praised in media.

for the OP Lancer CS3 2011 + offer best value for money.
you are getting a much newer car for your money

It's not the only concern is newer vs old. When we are buying a car in SL it does matter the fuel economy as well as the where would we drive the car. If we are going to stay around Colombo, It's not a wrong decision to go for a uncommon model. But if you are going to stay at a rural area or 100s of KM away from capital, then you have to consider the reliability and the spare parts availability too. Stick to the common models is a wise decision.

I don't know why Japanese even bother with hybrids, all they have to do is to visit Sri Lanka to learn how to get hybrid fuel figures with their own regular ICE only vehicles

3.5 Mil වලට ගන්න පුලුවන් හොඳ second hand කාර් එකක් කියන්නකො. Fuel Economy එක සාමාන්‍ය එකක් උනාම ඇති. ගොඩක්ම පරණ නැති ඒ වගේම parts හොයන්න ලේසි ලෙඩ අඩු වාහනයක් උනානම් හොඳයි.

Sedan එකක් වෙන්නත් ඕන.

In japan I doubted the only concern of the manufacturer is not the fuel economy figures, They are strictly regulated at developed countries by the carbon emission standards as well as efficiency figures. Oil price is not much of a concern for them as it's for us.

Some one was kind enough to cut my rep for this comment.

Who is that? probably some one who preoccupied with the idea of old are better than the new!. I would prefer if you let me know your name instead of being anonymous coward!.

Hybrids leave a smaller carbon footprint because they burn less fuel

This is true, some of em even put normal auto oil in CVT boxes
