T&T OFFICIAL New Vehicle Prices & Discussion Thread

[acesinghit]

It appears Kia themselves don't value their own vehicles for them to put nexens under Oem supply. Then again nexens supplied to Kia may be different than the nexens supplied to us locally.

If TTTL offered a hilux model with factory projectors with HID and the led DRLs, I would strongly consider it myself.
Maybe they would in a year or two like they did with the facelift RAV4.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

What I don't understand is why manufacturers offer euro 4 vehicles when they know that the fuel is euro 2 only.

What is the colour of diesel in England?

I have personally seen light pink at the pump but internet says color should be same as vegetable oil.

Would different gas stations have different additives and thus different fuel colours in the UK ?

Why are drls and fancy lights so important to you? I mean they look nice but a deciding factor so...

It isn't a deciding factor per se. It's just a plus. Plus I particularly haven't had good experience with Toyota and I really don't like how they offer such basic specs and charge premium prices. But I would like to give them a go again.
Other things besides lack of projectors that I think should not be offered in a new 2015/6 vehicles are drum brakes, hubcaps, only two airbags, no ABS, etc.
DRLs aren't necessary, for instance the new Ford Wildtrak is one of my top choices as well and that doesn't have DRL. It just would've been a plus if it came with the hilux, but by no means a deciding factor. Some countries have laws that all new vehicles manufactured now should come with DRLs IIRC.

Lol put in your own drl. $100 for a pair and $40 for a electrician to wire them.

I think the law applies to the EU countries that mandates automobile makers to implement DRLs into the design due to a safety concern that was researched extensively.

You remember when the Audis first came with them down here, the un-informed police officers gave out tickets for having illegal lights.

The issue with airbags is another. If the legislation down here insist that new vehicles being licensed after a certain period should have a minimum of four airbags, bet your bottom dollar that prices are going to skyrocket.

[drchaos]

Heard since TTTL is owned by toyota they supposed to service all toyota vehicles even if they foreign used. Can anyone confirm this?

To be honest I can't make up my mind what I want really so I'm open to anything.
But once it have a good sized trunk/hatch/tray with fold down rear seats where applicable and a reasonable amount of tech, and a good sound system, that should be fine. And DRLs
Pickups would've been useful in building house and transporting guitars and amp, etc. Diesel is a plus too for the north south runs once a week or so.
Also looking at the 320i, golf GTI, Focus ST, a used S3 if j can find one, new Wildtrak, Amarok..
So yeah, my choices probably don't make sense.. But those are the ones that stand out to me and within my budget..

Pickups drive like sheit imo. Can't go wrong with a 320 or an a4. Wouldn't recommend southern sales unless you have a rapport with them. The new c class is growing on me. U say u want diesel but isn't the low cost of diesel cancelled out by maintenance costs because of the quality in Trinidad? But I agree on premium being expensive as hell. Lol

Wifey beat me to the new C class. Heh. It really is a nice machine. That interior wins hands down. Especially the ambient lighting! I prefer the driving experience with the BMW tho; test drove the 320i last year.
Premium is expensive eh but getting 600-700kms a tank with these new euros cancel out the cost IMO. I was told by several owners that the outgoing A4 uses super though. With decent fuel economy still. And RS relatively cheap compared to the competition. But then there's SS after service.
I'm used to paying about $1 per 1km with my last vehicle so anything really would be an upgrade.
Was considering the new IS as well, but didn't see Toyota offering it for sale here. And I'm sure it'll be a lot mor expensive than the A4 and 320i

[Morpheus]

LoL. You sounding like me. Dunno what to buy.
B8 A4, NP300, 320i, Ralliart, Evo X, Optima, Tucson, Cerato.......sigh

[Morpheus]

Oh and another thing for me is getting away from premium. I've been using it since it was $3.00/L even when it wasn't necessary . It was only $0.30/L more at the time anyway.

Wouldn't that be using the same euro 4 diesel? So might be faced with the same issues as the q7, x5 etc ? Plus I don't like the Passat design that much. If a CC comes diesel I might consider it.

[kamakazi]

Have you looked at the diesel santa fe.... If the pricing on the first page of this thread is somewhat up to date. ... It is cheaper than the gas version.
You usually save up front when you buy gas power over diesel power but in this case the diesel vehicle is already cheaper.....

i'm curious as to how well the diesel Santa Fe's are coping with our low grade diesel.

Don't fancy the Korean options that much but the Santa Fe and Optima were considered before. I just don't fancy SUVs that much. Most handle like a boat IMO.

My heart says Evo X. My mind (and significant other) says something more practical. Sigh. Would I be lying if I tell her I can get 400-500km on a full tank with plenty trunk space and cup holders?

[Morpheus]

LoL. I would think so. You may get a 350km I'm guessing....
