I saw a billboard advertising the 2014 Toyota Harrier near CNX airport yesterday. I thought the Harrier was a Lexus model?

I also want to fit rear seat belts in my truck. The mounting points are there and a member on here said he would get me a price for the belts but never delivered. I guess I'll have to send the missus to see what those helpful people at Ford have to say.

Having had the missfortuna to have driven both. The Chevy Very Cross Prestige 4x4 wins by far imo. Neither have Toyotas Quality though.
Keep taking the medication.

I'm 6'2" and the Swift has more room for the driver than the Almera and the seats are good (as opposed to the Almera whose seats are really crap). Luckily, my wife realises that a manual is better to have than an automatic, so the Swift is more than pokey enough. I haven't driven a manual Almera, (is there one?) so I can't say if a manual would alleviate one of the car's many faults.
You are Wong
what your wife does not wealize is that with the Swift MT her side does not have an airbag
The Swift MT comes with driver side airbag only, every one else needs to bring their own
The Almera comes in two manual transmission configurations, The S/MT ฿433,000 and the E/MT ฿464,000 both configurations have dual airbags.
God, you're thick.
Yes, the Nissan Bagofshite has 2 airbags, opposed to the Swift's one (for my wife, the driver of it), but as I never mentioned airbags, I think you're just being a <deleted> in a poor attempt to score some brownie points with the others who wasted their money on a bloody awful car.

Chevy are still miles behind Ford/Mazda as are all the other Thai made brands.

Do not get an Almera. We were loaned one for a week. One of the worst cars I have ever driven. Now renamed the Nissan Bagofshite.
Had a Honda City for couple of years. Good cars but thirsty.

...so,what's so bad about Almera?
Woefully underpowered, dreadful CVT system (compared to Honda & Suzuki), poorly built with a nasty tin can door slam, very cheap interior (compared to Suzuki) and felt less than surefooted on the road.
Apart from rear seat and boot space, the Swift is a far superior car in my experience.

It's an inexpensive ECO car with 1.2 L engine(!)...they all are underpowered...but if one does not like to be cramped like in a sardine can,the Almera is an obvious choice...IMO of course...

All the bikes portrayed above are honda's.
Indeed.

Hard to ignore now the fact that half a dozen other themes have hitched a ride on my post.
I think that's what is known as a 'conversation'

That is because VW tried to sell the Tiguan in Thailand for twice the price of the CX-5 or CR-V.
talk about a loss of face...3 million+ for that lol. No wonder I always see it parked.
Why loss of face?
Thais gain face by spending big, whatever the real value may be.

market research says.....
For a smaller woman: Subaru XV. gives them a bit more of a view of the road and has decent performance
For the good looking but slightly alternative/indy woman: Nissan Juke, Fiat Abarth 695 - a little out of the ordinary
For the typical boring woman you can find anywhere: any Japanese crapbox
For typical boring woman you can find anywhere who thinks she is 15: any Japanese crapbox + hello kitty sticker
For the mythical hot chula grad Thai Chinese woman with a proper entry level management decent job and parents to impress: Benz A Class 180 or BMW 116
For the mythical slightly older Thai Chinese woman with a senior level management decent job: Benz C or E Class
For the daughter of a massage king oligarch: Maserati Ghibli, Benz SLK, BMW Z4
For the Isaan maid turned into a GF: 30 year old Isuzu Rodeo with dents, rust, no engine in it and a small buffalo to tow it
For the former Nana Plaza man, who now sports a monster D cup: Toyota Soluna 2nd hand with 90% dark tints
For your own bank balance: smart phone + account with UBER application and 1000b a month for transport
Why spend more on a pain-in-the-arse TC woman?

I'm 6'2" and the shape of the Wave and PCX seats are terrible for me. The Suzuki Van Van looks to have a long, flat seat.

Swift or Picanto were the only 2 that interested us and the Swift got the nod.

The question is who is stupid?
U dont get my point about drunk farangs....
They cannot do it in their country but here seems like its fashion... Yeheeey lets go drunk and drive motorcycle!
Whatever have a nice day... I will get some red color now and paint my headlights red;)!
I bet they still drive better than most Asians do.

I quite like the new Dullota front ends, but the Camry needs much more than a facelift if its going to stop competing with the Almera as the worst car I've ever had the misfortune to drive.

so in germany there's a fast lane 'reserved' for sports cars, bmw, benz, audi, vw, porche etc and why doesnt that work in LOS lol?
because the leftmost lane that nobody wanna use is so potholed & bumpy that the rev'ed up super cars will crash in a millisecond if trying to go past 8000rpms
haha
thats why 9/10 the fortuner, civic & izuzu 5gear manuals wins the highway race again & again here... well except for the odd silver bmw320d!!!
Also, you wouldn't have a U-turn on a highway in a proper country. Sheer madness.

Car and bike manufacterers have always rounded the numbers up - Mercedes are the worst offenders as are BMW.

Wong!:It is.
Cops especially like to ticket for modified exhaust systems.
What the brown mafia like to use to gouge money out of the people they're supposed to be serving and what is illegal or not has very little in common.
It is not illegal to modify a bike in Thailand.
Please enlighten use as to how you know this is true.
I am not a Thai lawyer but know of several Thai & falang who have been cited for illegal mods.
Seems as if the cops were 100% ad hoc then I would have bee cited as described in my #15 post.
Maybe a new thread is called for.
There are legal mods and illegal mods.
Is that simple enough for your peanut to comprehend?

I’ll stay away from the ford 3.2. Looks OK but fuel economy sucks and you will take a beating on the resale…
And a big worry when going for an oil change it seems..............
Oil change is not a problem if it is done at a dealership which one would assume someone with a new vehicle would be doing that to ensure the Ford Warranty.
Always the scaremonger aint ya Tranny. Am surprised you did not suggest to buy an outdated Vigo instead........... any idiot can change the oil on one of them.
You have obviously forgotten the heads up warning. Yeh, you keep using the overpriced main dealer for years to come to ENSURE oil pressure on oil change.....................
Ford guarantee competative service costs, and owners have the added bonus of not driving the dullest bunch of cars in the world. If you're happy being a blind sheeple then kudos to you.

A chap on a 390 Duke tried to race me from the lights on Thursday. Must be upsetting when bike that costs half as much completely destroys it.
