General discussion area for Micro car owners in Sri Lanka. User comments about Micro Customer Service, Common issues with Micro Panda, Fuel Consumption and solutions for Micro Panda.
Myuran, Only service station closed to you is Kandy. This car is came to the market 4-5months ago. Now the company on the process of bring down spare parts. I'm also waiting for a Head lamp.
at the moment u have leasing package for this car... it is 25000.00 if i pay 200,000.00 as a down payment.. what would be the monthly instalment for 6 years
I’m unable to comment on payment schemes, but you can contact LOLC or People Leasing for the leasing information. I did my leasing from Sampath Leasing which is hassle free. Dealing with a bank is kind of easy and the rates are bit lower than leasing companies. The only thing you should have is proper documentation with two guarantors.
I talked with a person who is using the Panda for 4 months and he was not that happy about the car. His complains are as follows: 1.Fuel Consumption is high. (6km-8km) Per liter 2.Suspension issues. He has replaced rack ends 4 times for this time period. Is there any one who use this car at the moment. I'm about to buy this car. Before that I need some advices. Thanks
Please read all my posts and comments. I hope you can get a idea. I'm working on a new post called common issues, please share your friend's issues as well.
Do you know have an idea about the fuel consumption now? In your previous post you have mentioned that 8KmpL within city limits? How about outstation? Do you have a figure?
I think, Panda is good car. Even if fuel consumptionis little low but it is because of heavy body. And it means it is safer than Maruti can cars. I think safety is much more important than fuel consumption. I am Chinese who is living in Colombo.
Nice blog! I like to share my comments here... I was interested in buying this Panda Car. I was visited the Rajagiriya Showroom as well. ##for the payment details First need to pay 150,000.00 for Micro for order the car. (it will take around 3 months for arrival) ## for the rest amount you can go for leasing. at Micro, there is LB Finance agent(very nice girl :)), as she said, it will be around Rs.28,200.00 per month for 5 year leasing.
################# About the vehicle condition..... Me and my friend was went to Micro showroom, even we had a little test drive as well. They are giving short test drive in narrow lane beside micro showroom. We were not satisfied with the vehicle condition, i mean body and finishing. - Very poor rear-window(diki) opening. It opens only the glass, we thought it is very risky for ruff roads, as we are planning to go outstation regularly. (but i guess within colombo that will be not a problem) - Very Low ground clearence ( me and my friend is around (80 + 80)kg + Micro agent (60kg) = 220kg, we were three guys when we having test drive. Unfortunaly, there was a little bumper on that narrow road(obviously that was for rain water cover), car bottom was hit when we passing that bumper. :( I guess, it may around 10cm high that bumper. - But we can give 10/10 for look of the car/stylish. it is really max! even i was in love with that car.
But after lot of mind struggling, now i'm thinking with Viva ellite as well. :)
(dont mind my bad english, as well as this was not for hurt anyone..)
Its Rs 1580000 without Airbags. With airbags you have to pay 100000 more. I just confirmed it from Micro showroom in Kurunegala. By the way where do you keep the spare wheel?
1.i advanced for the micro panda car on the 2nd of April 2012 at the Kandy branch.rec no: 336 {I.S Rajapakshe} but i couldn't request the airbags. so i want to add them. so i would like to know is it possible to order them now. if it is, how?
2.I want to know how long it will take me to get the vehicle?
1) I think you can customize it even now. All you have to do is contact the sales person and request. You have to pay Rs 100000 more when you get the vehicle.People in the Kandy show room are idling. They don't know the difference between Geely 1.3 (Panda) and Panda cross. Or they just don't bother to find out. Regarding airbags, considering the road status and the speed limit of panda, I think seat belts can jolly prevent you from a fatal injury. However it is always nice to have more protection.
2) According to sales people it take maximum of 4.5 months to deliver the vehicle.
Hello Mr. Chathura U seem to have an good idea about this car. I just want to know where i can buy spare parts for this car from a nearby place from Ratnapura. I also want to know about the prices of the parts i need
I wanna buy micro panda. now I have 500000/= with me.what would be the monthly installment for 5 years if I pay my money(500000/=) as the down payment, or 7 years. can someone help me by giving an idea plz....
As I mentioned before on my previous blog post, better to go with a bank not leasing companies. I went with Sampath bank and paying around 33 per month for 4 years. my lease amount is 12.45M.
Currently I'm using a Mitsubishi 1991 (ASP) model and planning to move to another car. I was bit excited about this new Panda but the problem is less space. I saw one guys said it does only 8Km/1Ltr but I don't think so. Even my Mitsubishi does 11Km/1Ltr and it has a 1500cc big engine. I don't think that that the Micro is using heavy metal for this. I guess it does more than 14Km/Ltr (1.3cc engine). I'm considering other models as well.
Hello Irosh..... Nop brother.your idea is wrong.Geely company is using very heavy body to make panda LC 1.3cc cars.not the micro company.they only do the assembling part.ok.
Can u imagine bro....Panda LC 1.3cc car Net weight is 973Kgs. Can u believe? Thats the reason brother.the engine & the body has made from heavy metal.be cause of that car weight is high.that is the reason for less fuel consumption.
By the way dont worry.after passing the mileage 2000km it does 9km/L.(In colombo area) if u like use Soltron addictive.it helpz to does 11km/L in colombo area. also 14km/L in out station. Now my car mileage is 3458km.
Hi Can someone tell me re ground clearence of Micro Panda. V r a heavy set family of three... I wonder if we will go far if ground clearence is very low.... Any comments
I need to buy micro panda, is this car coming with auto transmission? one of my colleague told me fuel consume is good per ltr 18 to 20km I don't think that much it will work.
it's getting expensive. I asked for a leasing facility in HNB bank yesterday. 4 lak down payment and Rs.29000 monthly installment for 5 years is what they provide. I think car value is around Rs.1610000 these days.
Micro cars look nice.. I have already ordered through Matara branch.. in the waiting list from July 2012, but still did not get proper delivery date.. when call to company, they ask to wait , It is ok if they are issuing cars according to an order, but people who have ordered this car after my self are in the list before my self, this is really unacceptable.. manager in the Matara show room does not take any action on this as they have not entered my name in to July list and only put in to November list, he has taken out my name from the list and has entered another customer's name (seems he has gotten some palm)
i called to AGM as well as GM, even they do not want to give a proper solution on this,
the company service is terrible.. No customer service at all, Please don't believe the delivery dates they are saying.. They never tell the true always trying to telling lies and keeping customers in waiting list.. from bottom to the top management are cheating customers.. In fact this is not a well organized company.. how do we ensure future warranties will be considered by them when they are cheating customers at the time of purchase.. If you are thinking to buy a Panda car... better to change your mind instead of braking your hopes by believing this company..
I have bought a micro panda 2011 car. I'm the second owner. Unfortunately the first owner had lost the owner's manual of the car. So anybody please tell me how to get another owner's manual for my car. If it is a soft-copy, doesn't matter.
I hv recieved with a new user mannual by Geely company china. I directly contacted them and they set a new user mannual to micro company to be taken \ thnks geely for ur greaat customer service
micro panda cross veri cost car sock-absorber noise Rack-end noise it is running 8 -9 km per ltr The milege is only 850km but there are so many faults in this micra car. The customer care sucks that they says they will report the faults to Geely but doesn't do anything about it.
