EVERY dealer will low ball you. They will most likely sell it to a tent and make a small profit. You should always sell cars privately if you have the time and dont need fast cash. If you had triend to sell toa few tents the offers would have been similar. Stick with toyota or honda for good resale value. Look at what old honda jazzes sell for in tents.

Not obvious to all, obviously!

Blockign a whole lane in peak hour traffic causes chaos. That's why a lot of this kind of roadwork is done at night.

The front scoop is the problem - it's reported as a problem in the swift groups I am in. I'm not sure about how much lower the skirts are though. These are the dressup kids they sell with the car, as you know. In some models you can take the cash discount instead.

We've never had clearance problems in our swift. Are the roads that bad? I was glad to be in our crv with the recent floods. Many smaller cars drowned in it. Perhaps consider a higher car?

I cut lumber....lots of lumber.

I asked my son about this th other day. He is Thai. He just said it's for "social reasons". They are wearing masks because everyone else is wearing them, an noone dares to be the odd one out. I've seen a few Thais without masks in Central. Mainly young ones. Just about ALL foreigners are not wearing them and don't even have one in sight. It could take 3-5 years to get back to some sense of normality. Even my school refuses to follow the new MoE regulations about no need to use masks, social distancing, etc, just to please the parents (yet the kids are catching covid at home and not school!) Yet they did not require all teachers to get vaccinated to keep their jobs. The mind boggles.

The ford ecosport may also be worth a look. https://indianauto.com/stories/ford-ecosport-shows-incredible-water-wading-capacity-nid3084#:~:text=In fact%2C with water wading,mm and 550 mm respectively.

Do you know the difference between prevent and reduce?

Try this facebook page for lots of engines. I see a honda jazz engine on their page. G.yong racing shop https://web.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057277186548

I went to bigger tires on standard rims on our swift. They were pilot sport tires and had amazing grip in the wet over stock. I haven't experienced any negative effects on steering or suspension with that set up. The only extra money we have spent on that car in 10 years was the air cond evaporator. If going to bigger wheels, I'd look for lightweight ones if possible. I'm getting old so prefer my comfort from higher ratio tires.

Acceleration can also be affected. There is a 1/2 second difference between the honda civic rs hev with 18 inch wheels vs the el+ model with the 17". The rest of the car is basically the same (rs a little heavier but not by much).
