@AllanSseky Mileage can be low or high for any year, it depends on the purpose it was driven in the country of origin. The only concern should be the turning points of millage <90k km, 100k km, and >110k km. People sell their cars at those points for specific reasons
@Blessed_King001@ESPNUK@FA_PGMOL The issue is, u block the opponents GK, u will definitely commit a foul, but those were never awarded to Arsenal, then when the same was done to them, the ref quickly awards foul, and the goal that decided the title.
@yaw3h@nyaika256 Its called an outback, coz its used to go into the country outback. Most people dont know what the word outback means. That is why its large, it takes ur family for camping
@UgandanGods That has nothing to do with the brakes, its the stability controls of the car that prevented slips. All other cars that depend only on breaks would not have the same results
No vent = weak flow, vent = smooth flow. A simple vent pipe can fix airlock issues and improve water movement in your plumbing. Small fix, big difference in flow.
@Stabex_Ug Its an increment of 10k on the 13kg refill. Such a disappointment, I went for stabex gas when I was still in kla coz they were everywhere, only to move to mukono, and they only have 2 stations. This is surely the last refill
@nyaika256 How can u cry of a suv being faster than ur wagon, it means ur wagon is not just serious. With all other factors constant, the SUV will have more resistance, a higher center of gravity and more body roll. U just needed to know that prado had max tourqe at 2k revs
@MrRoja1@AutoTrendzUg And what about the other cells. Thats a waist of time, all cells have charging cycles they go thru, by the time some cells are out of cycles, the others will be at 80 or 90% near max cycles
Unpopular opinion. Most hybrid cars in the bonds right now are scams waiting to happen and the fuel crisis is making people walk into them with their wallets open.
The Toyota Aqua and Fielder hybrid look like the perfect answer to UGX 6,000 petrol. Offering fuel economy of about 25 km per litre in our Kampala traffic versus a Vitz at 16 km per litre which saves about UGX 200,000 a month for the average commuter. On paper, the math is gorgeous.
The math changes when the battery dies.
A Toyota Aqua hybrid battery costs between UGX 4 and 6 million reconditioned. Brand new OEM pushes 8 to 12 million. That bill arrives somewhere between 150,000 and 250,000 km, sometimes earlier if the previous owner ran the car in 35 degrees heat with no maintenance. Most hybrids sitting in Kampala bonds today have already crossed 130,000 km on real meters and far more on the ones that were rolled back.
You are not buying a fuel-efficient car. You are buying somebody else's countdown timer.
The brutal version. You save 200k a month for 30 months. That is 6 million in fuel savings. Then the battery dies and you spend 8 million replacing it. You are now negative 2 million on the bet and that is before counting the petrol you burned during the three weeks the car sat at a hybrid specialist while they hunted for the right modules.
A hybrid only makes sense in Uganda if three things are true. The unit is under 100,000 km on verified mileage, not the dashboard reading. You have run a real battery state-of-health diagnostic and the SOH is above 75%. And you genuinely drive 60 km or more a day, because below that the savings do not justify the risk.
If even one of those is missing, a clean 1.5L petrol Vitz, Ractis or Rumion will beat a tired Aqua on total cost. Every time.
The hybrid in the bond looks beautiful because the bond made it look beautiful. The story underneath it is a different car.
If you are about to buy a hybrid and you want the battery checked properly with real diagnostics not an eye-test, that is part of what I do for clients. We have the right team and tools for a proper pre-purchase inspection. Get in touch and we will get it tested before you sign anything.
Are you a hybrid believer or hybrid skeptic? Tell me where you stand and why.
@mbales_finest What is the issue with first aid box, is there any car that comes with it, and is the issue the box or the contents, if I have the contents within the car but not the box, is that an issue
