Yellowtail Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 2 hours ago, ThailandFoodExpert said: They should sell one with a good engine as the mini, around 200 HP and a Turbo would be enough. This car is even nicer than the ugly new mini that people might buy only because they have no taste. By the way, what is the smallest powerful car that we can find here ? I do not call a car powerful if it hasn't at least 200 HP. The Supra is pretty nice, it makes 382 @ 5,000 and 519 @ 6,500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirineou Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I was looking a buying a swift in Greece Almost every swift sold in Europe is a light Hybrid. and at reasonable prices. I understand the prices in Thailand are higher because of the taxes, but why don't they have the hybrid option available in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damrongsak Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I'd like a swifter Suzuki. Like this V6 Escudo hill climber. Twin-turbocharged 2.5-litre V6 engine with a power output of 732 kW; 995 PS (981 hp) at 9000 rpm. It had four-wheel drive and weighed 800 kg.

ctxa Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) A death cage, this Japanese cars are not made safe. True they are already small and the space is very limited.... but I for sure wouldn't wanna be in any of these cars during an accident. I guess they have a lot to learn from European car makers.... Nowadays Japanese cars score very well on safety tests because their tech in active safety is pretty amazing. But don't let that fool you, when everything else fails your only hope is passive safety, and Japanese cars passive safety, well.......

There's a version of the Vios that is 200hp, it's 2.5 mil. The Hayabusa is a motorbike with a 1.3 Lt 197hp engine. Here is in a Suzuki prototype Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how that compares with Euro cars in the same class? https://www.toyota.co.th/gryaris/ Edited March 30, 2021 by Smithson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzzi850m2 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 A more sporty Swift with 83HP, huh! my big bike got over 110hp, it's fairly sporty for a bike at around 200kg. That Swift can't move swiftly even on a good day???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowtail Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Visited the Motor Show today, thought it was well worth a visit. Did my 90 day report (took less than 20 minutes) then walked from there over to Challenger 1-3. Cars, bikes, RVs, Watercraft & accessories. Did not seem as big as years past likely due to covid. All-in-all a pleasant day. A lot of good looking cars, but I thought the best looking car at the show was the Austin-Martin. This year they also had what looked like a big used car sales are as well but as I am not in the market I did not walk through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
