Other than the Ranger, which pickup truck has to comply with the 65km/h speed limit?

Yes, you are correct, they all have MGWs greater than 2540kg. I had a geriatric moment and mixed up the MGW for the speed limit with the MGW for the Class 4 permit.

Can't believe people still taking on ahsayingshit tho. That whole diatribe was moot by the fact the navarra is the base for Mercedes pickup. Fiat is clutching at straws to survive why would you base any decision in their choices

Honda has an ad on its Facebook page for the new civic, the engine options on the ad are the 1.5 Turbo and a 1.6 NA.

Yep, i saw it, left them a message and they called me, said they aren't getting cars until September but they're still receiving training on them, when the cars come in September they will have more info on features for our market, but if that turbo comes for sure, it will be one hell of a buy once the price point is good.

Jetta turbo at 250 to 260, so i would assume the Civic might be the same or a little more.

Jetta's can be had for as low as 200-215. Most likely classic gonna come in at a very high pricepoint just like with the current civic.

I actually saw the 3rd gen new model spark on a road show like 2 months ago and it comes with a 1.4 dohc 16v twin VVT in-line 4 engine. Considering the size of the car this is not bad at all. I even saw it has projector HID and led running lights too. Considering a lot of these smaller roro nissans now have 1.2 3-cylinder engines, the spark now seems like a performance star in contrast. Not bad at all for the cheapest new car on the market.

nope the celerio was discontinued a while ago.

Let's take a closer look at the history of some of these small cars locally:

Toyota Yaris hatchback - no longer imported quite a while now and 1.3L only
Daihatsu Sirion - TTTL no longer imports this brand. The Sirion was 1.3L only
Suzuki Celerio - LSM no longer imports it. This was a 1.0L 3-cylinder only
Hyundai Atos Prime - Mel's imported a few years ago IIRC and this was a 1.0L
Hyundai Getz - Mel's also imported these. It scored better than the Atos Prime but dismal sales nevertheless. These came with a 1.6L engine. Big displacement in this class!
Kia Avella - SS imported these years ago and they sold poorly. They came 1.5L (a Mazda engine actually)
Kia Pride - Like the Avella, the Pride sold in small numbers. These were 1.3L.
Kia Picanto - Most recent failure and these were 1.2L
Nissan Cube - believe it or not, NM at the time imported the first-gen cube for a short while. They failed eventually though and came 1.3L
Nissan March 1.2 - not sure if Massy still imports this car but sales struggled while they did for obvious reasons (more popular in roro market)
Fiat Punto - Like locals have sumtin' against Fiat in general. Nothing sells good from them over here. Only a few was imported years ago.
Chevy Joy/Opel Corsa - imported by SS for the Chevy and a now defunct company called Platinum Motors for the Opel. I think no one remembers them locally and I think even GM doesn't want to remember them either.

What seems consistent as of late are the Honda Fit, Suzuki Swift, Ford Fiesta and Chevy Spark. They sell by the little but at least that segment has some representation locally. I see the new entrant Mazda 2 also has a hatchback and these are 1.5 dohc 16v skyactiv. The Kia Rio hatchback is also selling adequately like its corporate sibling, the Hyundai Accent hb which is 1.6L.

Does the older model i30 and i30sw qualify

yeah we realised the link is opening the Facebook link in the browser instead of Facebook which is not rendering the 360.

Boost is good till they get a load of the servicing costs.
Have my N/A 2.0L Gas Tucson for just under 10,000kms now.
5,000km service was $1,300 and the 10,000kms service cost $1,700.
I'm genuinely afraid as to what the next service gonna cost.
