OneMoreFarang Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 No car since 20 years, and I never missed one. To be fair I live in the middle of Bangkok and I have two motorcycles. Maybe once or twice a month I use a taxi, that's it. P.S.: In my home country I always had a car since I was allowed to drive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xylophone Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Had a little Honda click scooter for a few years when I first arrived here, but then decided to look for a second hand car in 2011, and bought an Opel Astra, which was okay for running around in, but not that reliable and had automatic gearbox problems, which I had tried to fix twice, but to no avail. So finally decided to buy new car in 2012 and opted for the Suzuki Swift and it's been a fabulous car, with no problems whatsoever. Mind you it has only done 30,000 km and looks like new, and drives like it too!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garrya Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 An 8-year-old Ford Fiesta. Hate it with passion. It feels like a Lego, consumes way too much petrol considering its engine and its size and its electronics are just not up to scratch. 4 more months installments left, so we can change for something more serious. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThailandRyan Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 1st Vehicle in Thailand was a 2008 Honda Elite 125, next was a 2012 Mitsubishi Triton GLR 4x4 because I lived deep in the country outside of Udon Thani, now since I live in the city, I just bought the new 2020 MG HS. Good to have options. Wanting to buy a new Motor Cycle, miss my Harley I had in the States, but the prices are stupid here.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CharlieH Posted April 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2020 My first car here was a Mazda Fighter, that got changed for a 4dr Toyota Pre-runner, then we added a Mazda 2 (new) for the boss. The Mazda sometime later (5yrs) got chopped in for the new Honda City, and the Toyota Pre-Runner got chopped in for the Toyota Yaris as we felt we didnt need a pick-up anymore. Also got a Toyota Corona which had its roof cut-off into a convertible and yes that still has wind-up windows. (project to play with) 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltire Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I have the use of the same car as the OP only its a smart cab, which I am not a fan of, but I didn't pick it. 3 years ago I had to go home for my mums funeral, and while I was there my brother in law won second prize in the national lottery (500k). He paid off his loan for his small music business and bought the pickup and gave it to the wife. He went to the lottery office, got the cash, and spent it all on one day. They are both chuffed to bits even today with their first ever car. We half on all the running costs and I insisted on better than the basic insurance. He uses it 80% of the time but as it's 'her car' we have priority. My wife can't drive - yet! We take it on a shopping run once a month to the nearest Makro/BigC some 160 Km away. I don't mind driving it I just don't enjoy it like back home on the Scottish roads in normally something nicer (and quicker!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JWRC Posted April 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2020 I have a Toyota Hilux Vigo, same as the OP posted. I purchased it new in 2003 and to date it has never missed a beat and it has done a lot of work, now on 355,000 km, the only money I have spent on it is tyres and battery's. I would have bought a new one long ago if I had felt the need, but why replace something that works just fine. I hope you get as good a run out of yours. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
