my logic worked perfectly finally I got you to say "no car is perfect". Thats good enough for me!

So you lied just to get me to say no car is perfect? You could've just asked me if I think Japanese cars are perfect or not.

its not just this one time. Do a google search there have been many occasions they did that.

http://blog.caranddriver.com/2016-honda-civic-recalled-for-engine-failure-fires/

And there will be such recalls in the future too.

What do you mean by unstable body shell. Now I drive the KWID, they do manufacture the 2016 kwid with some upgrades. Can you explain to me what you are talking about??

If there is such critical error in the car to an extent that it cannot be driven, the local agent will recall the cars. That is guaranteed, that's why we receive a warranty as well. 50,000Km/2yr

http://indianautosblog.com/2016/05/renault-kwid-zero-stars-global-ncap-crash-test-232064

Note this is the KWID made in 2016 April with some upgrades.

"It was possible to see the structural reinforcements implemented in this version of the Kwid but when Global NCAP checked the left (passenger) side, there were no reinforcements. The structure was reinforced only on the driver side."

The company promised to rectify this issue from the cars manufactured from May, 2016. So what happens to customers who bought the KWID before the May update? did they recall pre April-2016 cars? I highly doubt that.

Toyota's issue was not an error that made the cars cannot be driven, it was an safety issue. They recalled all the vehicles anyway.

I dont have to justify to you anything about my purchase, its made according to my requirements and budget.

I didn't post a burning camry and I do admit all cars can burn/crash and rust in time.

because nothing is immortal, please try to understand what I'm saying.

You are doing a wild goose chase I told you, you didn't have to tell me anything because I already knew pros and cons of the kwid.

I made the decision according to my requirement and budget, based on my research as well.

you cant challenge or condemn it, I didn't challenge your choice for a vehicle did I???

the other things is I love lot of cars irrespective to their brand and options

eg: Vezel, defender (old 7 seater), lancer, smart cab, nissan juke

but I cant afford them, so here we are

I didn't mean to challenge your purchase or condemn the KWID. It was that hetti posting a Toyota safety recall that made me reciprocate. Seriously? When we pointed out the KWID is rated 0 for safety and the Japanese cars in the same price range are much safer he came up with a burning Camry and a Toyota safety recall. What's the logic behind that?

may be / may be not, because remember not everyone have the same requirements as you do. You may never know

Japanese cars may not be safer than the KWID because my requirements could be different? What logic is that? By safer I meant the Jap counterparts to the KWID scored highest marks on same crash tests that the KWID underwent and scored 0 - meaning Jap counterparts to the KWID are way safer to drive than the KWID.

අපි ලඟ තිබ්බා Datsun 720 එකක් ඒක floorboard gear කරලා power steering කලා 90 දසකයේ අග බාගයේ. 80 දසකයේ බර කරත්ත තමා ඕවා මෙලෝ රහක් නෑ ඉතිං අද තියන වාහන එක්ක බලද්දි

ඩැට්සන් 720 නම් ඉතින් බර කරත්තයක් තමා, බර වැඩට මරු. වෙන මෙලෝ රහක් නෑ. D21 ආවම ඒවා කැලේටම විසික්ක වුනානේ. බර කරත්ත කිව්වට අද එන මහින්ද්‍රා, ටාටා බර බාග වලට වඩා හොඳයි 720 එක. මේවා තව අවුරුදු ගානක් වැඩ ගන්න පුළුවන් වාහන , අදටත් කිසිම අවුලක් නෑ. අද තියෙන "වාහන" එක්ක බලද්දි මෙලෝ රහක් නැති වෙන්න පුළුවන්, හැබැයි අදටත් ඉන්දියන් චයිනීස් දහිර වාට්ටු වලට වඩා හොඳයි.

That means your car has a very flimsy chassis. It cannot hold a impact well compared to the similarly priced old jap cars. The reason is the price. Rigid body work cost a lot, but you people only care about money, fuel economy and the looks; you can be easily duped to purchase a car like kiwid.

It depends on the impact, velocity and the speed

I dont have to provide examples here, regardless of the make (ja, eur, indian) all cars are tend to get pretty messy at a impact.

there are no indestructible vehicles in this world.

we have a insurance to claim for the body and AMW is there to do the rest.

just like they do with Nissan, there's new nissan patrol version in their showroom, pretty amazing looks

And yet another "Yanne Koheda - Malle Pol" moment

[QUOT]So you lied just to get me to say no car is perfect? You could've just asked me if I think Japanese cars are perfect or not. [/quote]

I used negative reinforcement on you. If I did that you would post another paragraph of BS. So best way to get the truth out is what I did

And there will be such recalls in the future too.

yes, since there are no perfect cars

http://indianautosblog.com/2016/05/renault-kwid-zero-stars-global-ncap-crash-test-232064

Note this is the KWID made in 2016 April with some upgrades.

Yes, this is the kwid 2016 the budget car which is indian 3.67 Lahks made for india. that is perfectly clear

Among the list these cars were also there 2016 versions. in ikman its 2015

hydundai eon - http://ikman.lk/en/ad/hyundai-eon-2015-for-sale-colombo-87

celerio - http://ikman.lk/en/ad/suzuki-celerio-vxi-2014-for-sale-colombo-18

alto - http://ikman.lk/en/ad/suzuki-alto-2015-for-sale-colombo-1280

notice the market price as well, they have their own market.

these cars are running in Sri Lanka without any problem for many years now. specially maruti for over 10 years

so the kwid will not be an exception

"It was possible to see the structural reinforcements implemented in this version of the Kwid but when Global NCAP checked the left (passenger) side, there were no reinforcements. The structure was reinforced only on the driver side."

The company promised to rectify this issue from the cars manufactured from May, 2016. So what happens to customers who bought the KWID before the May update? did they recall pre April-2016 cars? I highly doubt that.

we'll see about that, where does it say?? can you give a source

the NCAP test was done very recently. I'm pretty sure the version with 1000cc engine, ABS ari bags version will not have this

http://www.ibtimes.co.in/renault-kwid-1000cc-amt-be-launched-coming-weeks-report-677965

Toyota's issue was not an error that made the cars cannot be driven, it was an safety issue. They recalled all the vehicles anyway.

that is what we call a manufacture fault obviously they should be recalled.

I didn't mean to challenge your purchase or condemn the KWID. It was that hetti posting a Toyota safety recall that made me reciprocate. Seriously? When we pointed out the KWID is rated 0 for safety and the Japanese cars in the same price range are much safer he came up with a burning Camry and a Toyota safety recall. What's the logic behind that?

If your intention was pure, there are 1000 ways to share pros and cons of a vehicle in public without trash talking about it.

And I had already bought the kwid, what is the point of lecturing me about what I already knew?? see the first page of the official thread, I have posted the NCAP video.

So you see, most people came here were not supportive, they were talking about Japanese vehicles when I had bought a Renault Kwid

Specially that Car Sale guy. What else could you except from guy who does Japanese car buying and selling

Japanese cars may not be safer than the KWID because my requirements could be different? What logic is that? By safer I meant the Jap counterparts to the KWID scored highest marks on same crash tests that the KWID underwent and scored 0 - meaning Jap counterparts to the KWID are way safer to drive than the KWID.

may be or may be not. safety should be there in a vehicle, there is no argument there. facing an accident in a vehicle with max safety rating vs 0 rating car sure has a difference. all depends on the impact, velocity , speed and the situation. and that doesn't mean if you drive around in a kwid you will die. refer my above comment about the alto

As i've told you earlier. People die in accidents everyday. But not only in Indian vehicles they die in Japanese vehicles too. Regardless of the make due to reckless driving and unavoidable circusmtances. I like to take my chances

No accidentally, answered the recall thing actually

just like they do with Nissan, there's new nissan patrol version in their showroom, pretty amazing looks

The general speed for impact test is 40 kmph for GNCAP.

All cars do get pretty messy. But Jap and Euro cars are designed by law of their countries to protect the occupants in a crash. Indian cars have no such regulation. They just build cars with cheap stuff to lower the cost. That's why Indian cars are unsafe.

Don't try to compare Nissan patrol and kiwid. They are poles apart. Can't you get it why Patrol and Kiwid are differ in price so much?

I never tried to compare nissan petrol with kwid. I never said that

I saw it in AMW showroom in union place and totally love it.

Yes some indian cars have no safety, the budget ones

but premium ones have the necessary safety

and the kwid that's gonna produced in braliz will have euro standard safety

kiwd is a global car, not only margined to india

ඩැට්සන් 720 නම් ඉතින් බර කරත්තයක් තමා, බර වැඩට මරු. වෙන මෙලෝ රහක් නෑ. D21 ආවම ඒවා කැලේටම විසික්ක වුනානේ. බර කරත්ත කිව්වට අද එන මහින්ද්‍රා, ටාටා බර බාග වලට වඩා හොඳයි 720 එක. මේවා තව අවුරුදු ගානක් වැඩ ගන්න පුළුවන් වාහන , අදටත් කිසිම අවුලක් නෑ. අද තියෙන "වාහන" එක්ක බලද්දි මෙලෝ රහක් නැති වෙන්න පුළුවන්, හැබැයි අදටත් ඉන්දියන් චයිනීස් දහිර වාට්ටු වලට වඩා හොඳයි.

අලුත් වෙයං බං. හිතපං උඹට කෝටියක් ඇදුනා ස්වීප් ටිකට් එකකින්. උඹ ඔය බර කරත්තෙ පැද පැද ඉන්නවද? උඹ නිකං ස්වයං වින්දනයක් ලබන්නෙ උඹෙ බර කරත්තෙ පට්ට සිරා සුපිරි කිය කිය. ඕක පරන බඩු කඩේකට දීලා අලුත් වාහනයක් ගනිං සල්ලි ටිකක් එකතු කරලා

I never got fooled by the looks of the car. I loved the SUV inspired look of the car.

As I told you my purchased decision was made by a 6 month research

the options, and other stuff was enough for my requirement, so I bought it

nobody needs to be bothered about that

coz its my money my requirement

and my car and I'm totally happy with it

මට කෝටියක ලොතරැයියක් ඇදුනොත් මම මේක විකුණන්නෙ නෑ. මම මේකට අමතරව ගන්නවා පලාත්සබා පැජරෝ එකක්. ඉතිරි සල්ලි වලින් පර්චස් විස්සක විසිපහක ඉඩමකුත් අරන් ඉතුරු ටික පොතේ දානවා.

You know what your problem is..? You don't compare Patrol and Kiwid. You must compare them rather than compare same level Indian models.

You must know the difference between Patrol and Kiwid.

What kind of safety they have? Only an air bag for the driver if i'm not mistaken even in the highest grade.

Sri Lanka is going to get the cheap Indian model. Not the Euro-NCAP Brazilian model. So stick to the local market.

there is no need of a newer model machan. this one is "honda" enough for me. I want my tasks done, and some pleasure in my way. you people won't understand this.
