ok so taxis are mostly Corolla Altis I think. Are they good value second hand?

[Plus]

There are three segments in Thailand - Corolla is "medium" size, there's also Civic in this class, Together they have something like have 90% market share. The rest is divided between cars like Ford Focus, Mazda 3, Mitsubishi Lancer and new Nissan Tiida (it's a bit smaller, though) but their sales are staticstically insignificant.

The most popular is the smaller segment - Toyota Vios/Yaris and Honda Jazz/City. Yaris and Jazz are hutchbacks. There's also Chevrolet Aveo. Vios is Thailand's best selling car ever.

Bigger cars (medium in the US) are shared between Camry, Accord, and Nissan Tiana.

Toyotas and Hondas hold value very well here.

Later this year Hyunday will reenter the market with Sonata. It remains to be seen if it can survive against Japanese comptetition.

I hope they sell that very economical car the Hyunday i30 CRDi : about 4.7 L/100 km. (Review)

Are you saying that they are selling Kias with that kind of an engine in LOS? How does consumption compare with the Hyunday mentioned, for instance?

Thanks.
