T&T OFFICIAL New Vehicle Prices & Discussion Thread

[zando]

I saw the new Sportage on the UBH on Saturday, however, what is up with all this taxi driver driving from these people who work for these firms? I see it a lot from Kia and Toyota, they'z be driving wild wild on the road with no plates and most times in formation like if they transporting Rowley or somn. Is this what we can expect from a new car? It being driven the hardest in it's lifetime BEFORE being purchased?

[DVSTT]

I see the new ranger finally reached the firm.
I saw quotes on their Facebook page 2.2 for 270k? And 3.2 for 307k?
Anyone knows if that's the wildtrak trim or base?
If wildtrak, that's much cheaper than Maska, Czar, etc!

3.2 wildtrak is 395k

Wdma. That go stay right there yes.

If the fulloy loaded one is 307k, then that isn't too bad imo.

[icemantt]

Need a little help. Kia Sportage LX 2.0L 4x2 or Hyundai Tucson GL 2.0L Advance 4x2 getting both for around the same price.

[White CZ4A]

Guys.
what is the cheapest entry level car available?
Need one for a worker. Basically just a point A to point B car.

Chevy Spark

Ok Great thanks

fully loaded manual. not wildtrak.I find that extra 90k for just wildtrak accessories is waaaayyyyyy too much

I've seen a few different people mentioning possible issues with the new 2.8 L Hilux engine, can anyone actually confirm what issues are being experienced? Also, if TTTL isn't selling and servicing the 2.8, I presume they had nothing to do with the fleet of CNG equipped Hiluxes that are rolling around now. Maybe someone in house at NP, or at VMCOTT got the training to deal with those **shrugs**

Btw, what specific issues you heard about btw?

The Versa:shock:

Not suitable for someone who is over 6 feet 2 inches.

Seat positioning is the worse.

[Dave]

Whatever massy has if any is the last....

[dieselsingh]

The qashqai is a best ride

[drchaos]

Sat in the new elantra today at Massy. Really nice ride, I am not a fan of the styling but this car is feature packed.
got blind spot monitoring, 6 airbags traction control and the full works. It even comes with heated and cooled seats ( The sales guy said heated and cooled seats come together).Which is unheard of in this class. In the end the fully loaded is cheaper than a Civic and way better equipped.

Loved the Aluminium pedals as well!

[DJ Q]

Cruise control?

Ok Great thanks

not sure if the spark is still available because GM is doing a model change and we haven't received the all-new spark yet. The cheap alternative was the march but again not sure if massy still importing them so some relatively well built cheap point a to b cars are currently stuff like the fiesta, sonic, accent/rio, versa and lancer glx. Keep in mind while ugly, the versa is made in india so not sure of the quality behind the ugliness.

We had the Versa as part of the fleet.
Total madness for someone over 6 ft tall.

The Versas that are souced via RORO dealers, are they assembled in India as wel?

[drchaos]

Cruise control?

Yup! best equipped vehicle in its class.

what made it worse for the roro versa ie. Latio is that it has a 1.2L engine. Not sure why they gave up the additional 300cc.

Anyway, I am trying to research why TTTL refuses to bring the 2.8 Hilux. Check the below info out:

1KD-FTV
3.0 DOHC 16V in-line 4 CRDi VNT
uses timing belt
2 counter rotating balance shafts
5-speed automatic with manual shift mode
120-127kW @ 3400rpm (161-170hp)
360Nm /265 ft-lbs peak torque @ 1800-3400rpm
Euro 4/5
17.9:1 compression ratio
135mpa/1350 bar/19,580psi
TMIC

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1GD-FTV
2.8 DOHC 16V in-line 4 CRDi VNT
uses timing chain
single counter rotating balance shaft
6-speed automatic with manual shift mode
130-132kW @ 3400rpm (174-177hp)
450Nm / 332ft-lbs peak torque @ 1400-2600rpm
Euro 6
15.6:1 compression ratio
135mpa/1350bar/19,580psi
FMIC

Toyota claims the new 2.8 in comparison to the old 3.0 has a 30% smaller turbo; 25% more torque; 15% more fuel efficient;30% smaller catalyst and 44% better thermal efficiency.

I learnt that there was a study on our Diesel and Toyota recognizes that the 2.8 would have several issues hence the new model Hilux still being offered with the older engine. The thing is, any day now they are expecting the 2016 Fortuner. If the Fortuner comes 2.8 then this was BS since day 1 however if the Fortuner continues with the 3.0 then this would confirm that their study does not warrant the 2.8 for our diesel.

I was talking to the owner of a 2.8 version and he said because its a lower compression engine Toyota Thailand designed it for poor quality diesel consumers like us.

[RASC]

I hear TTTL has been monitoring the RORO market with the newer 2.8's to see if its worth the risk to start bringing them in.

Supposedly.

But if they do bring the Fortuner with the 2.8 as you said-then it really is some BS!

Watch the difference - Euro 5 and Euro 6

[kjaglal76v2]

Just NOX emissions reduction. When I spoke to some of the dealers they said you should not be using anything more than a Euro 3 in Trinidad and even then you can run into problems.

Anyone has experience with either the Audi Q3 1.4T or 2.0 to say how powerful it feels driving ? Is it comfortable up say Lady Young hill or does it struggle ?

bro bought one just under the fully spec'd...only difference was the panoramic roof on the fully loaded....car reall has a crap load of features for $205k...and he ordered straight plates instead of the square, which enhanced the front and rear quite a bit....

Q3 1.4t 2 months old, very much adequate, LYR is no issue with a four occupants + suitcases

[drchaos]

The Q3 1.4 turbo has around the same hp as the 2.0 NA engines an on the Jap suv's and probably more torque. So will be more than adequate on a vehicle that size.
