    මේක ලියල තියාගනින් මම අද කිව්ව කියල - උබට වාහන ගැන අද්දැකීම් වැඩි වෙන්න වැඩිවෙන්න උබ ටොයොටා වලට ආදරය කරන ප්‍රමානය වැඩිවෙනවා




    හැම පැත්තටම සාදාරන වෙන විදිහට සාමාන්‍ය වාහන නිපදවන්නේ ටොයොටා විතරමයි


    ටීඩා එක ෆැමිලි යූස් එකට ශෝක් කාර් එක. සමස්තයක් විදිහට හැමදේම හොදයි. ආ අනික ටීඩා එකේ ඒසී එකට ගහන්න ඒසී එකක් වෙන කාර් එකක මම දැකලා නෑ

    It is surprising to see you have included Tida as an option here. That is one of the most painfully dull looking car ever made by nissan. Good for 60+ grandpa's!!! :P :P

    Machan it may be due to excessive tyre pressure. Did you try reducing the pressure?

    Tried everything machan,I was using 27 psi for a while,But the bumpiness and stiffness is unavoidable,It's just how the car is made.Got little tired after years of using,May be I'm getting old.meka drive karala yaluwekge corolla ekak drive karama benz ekaka yanawa wage ban..:sorry:

    I have seen many people say it has very stiff suspension so you will feel every small bump in the road and this makes it very uncomfortable :blink:
    I have driven suzuki swift 1.3 (2004 model) and suzuki kei (2004 turbo) model. They have very good ground clearence which gives very good confidence when driving. I'm particularly fond of 660cc turbo kei for its ground clearence and handling ^_^ . being said that, can you compare suspension stiffness and comfortability of demio with swift or kei? so I can get a better estimation.

    Since this is your first car i cannot recomend an Euro. If i had 3.0 million i would deffa go for a BMW e46
    Like this http://ikman.lk/en/bmw-e46-320d-mtec-2000-for-sale-colombo

    Anyway Mazda Axela seem to be a good car. If you are concern about fuel, spare parts prices and resale market then you have to end up with a toyota :) If not there are alot of possibilities :)

    Personally I don't like TIDA :| Do not buy a CS1 which is 1.3, go for a CS2 1.5 automatic :) consider Honda ES8 as well

    No matter how good that vehicle is but it's getting old. See the advertised one is almost 15 years old now. Old BMWes are expensive to maintain given our market condition. Not worth the money at all.
