Car advice
Hello, I'm planning to buy a car, a family, like a minivan. Now I look at the Renault Lodgy, like a comfortable and spacious car. I have a fairly large family, we have 5 people. Need your advice, cause I'm not sure.

There's certainly no Renault dealer, nor a Peugeot -- surprising none of the French have brought these over. I heard that Peugeot is looking for a local partner though, so those could be on their way.logos wrote:They sell Renault in Cambodia? Or are you a spambot from India ?
As for the OP's question, I would go with a Ford Everest or Toyota Highlander. Both are 7-seat SUVs, but with the back seats that can be folded away for a large trunk space for road trips. Also, both will be easily serviced anywhere in the country (anyone can work on a Toyota here, with parts everywhere, and Ford has nationwide service available), and both have been around long enough that you should be able to find a legit secondhand option if you don't want to buy new.

Ford Explorer??? Are you out of your god damn mind, mister????? I mean yer highness.
I love bitches n gonna fuck Texas and the USA+ right up their god damn ass! Hallelujah!
Aren’t those Everest things made in Thailand?
I saw a Peugeot 406 coupe in Kampot. Looked bloody weird! Where the fook does he get it fixed (which is inevitable)? Nice looking car. Shame it’s French.
I’m currently looking st the Lexus RX400h or 450h, which is more powerful but more economic. Trouble is my current CRV sits there for days and I only use it to go to the pub!
Oh, and the fact I don’t have $50k sitting around.

French cars are bloody terrible. Better to go for a Toyota Highlander or Sienna.

Navarra is Alaskan is X Class is (soon to be) Triton.
They’re all made in Thailand, like the Hulux, Ranger, BT 50, D Max and are all excellent examples of consumer price gouging, with some of the finest margins made by manufacturer and dealer of any vehicle.
In other words, a Renault pickup or SUV is as good as anything else these days.
Peugeot on the other hand..remember when they resorted to literally giving away all those weird little blue sedans to the Government? Senior public servants had to begrudgingly tuck away their S Classes and LXs when driving to official government functions.
They’ve had at least 2 cracks at the market and the local distributor has lost their shirt both times.

Haha - my money’s on Playboy
I had a new Citroen C6 that I had on demo for five days, to possibly replace my 6 year old Mercedes. I drove it home then took it back the next day. Cheap and nasty.
Bought another Mercedes.

In this case, if we have already moved to the topic SUV, in our country, is on sale Ford Ecosport. I take it we're talking about a car of this class?Miguelito wrote:
