Saw a rush the other day trying to make it into the car park for Gulf View medical, there is a small incline.

Driver tried multiple angles and still couldn't make it. Old ass mitsu Lancer after he gave up went up it like a champ first try :shock:


Lancer's does perform bro! Modern day iron donkey!

Question for those in the know. What's your preference between the Honda Vezel, Kia Seltos and Suzuki Grand Vitara? Looking at rear legroom and cargo space as it will be used to transport people to meetings/airport, won't be used with more than 3 passengers, consider long-term maintenance and parts support would probably keep for 5-6 years. Any opinions and input appreciated

I don't know.
But from seeing them up close (where I park has a GV and a Vezel everyday in close proximity I would go with a GV just because it looks better than the Vezel.

My subjective opinion.

Saw a few foreign used parts place bringing vezel front cuts etc. Therefore parts should not be an issue for this. GV, well we know how suzuki is with parts. Same applies to kia

If you keeping a new vehicle 5-6 years, most likely it would be basic maintenance parts that you would require. For the greater part of they 5-6 year period you would also be covered by warranty 3-5 years depending on the manufacturer. Some FU dealers are also bringing the Grand Vitara (with a weak warranty period), but they also claim that they would be stocking parts for these. Remains to be seen.

I see in the model they advertising comes with 360 cameras, powered tailgate, and from the pics the seats are leather, which is not the version TTTL is advertising. Interesting that it’s at a $20k less difference.

Just read in the Newsday that La Fast Motors has added the BYD brand to their line-up. BYD is Chinese, but also the largest EV manufacturer, having recently surpassed Tesla in terms of production.
