2 models - 2.0L and 2.5L

My Tiida averages 13 km/L after a year. Not much of a saver too. But the undercarriage is quite solid, I must say. Glides over road bumps pretty effortlessly without transmitting the "shock" to the cabin.

I love the Tiida because its a very spacious car and power weight balances very well. The other car I really love is the Sylphy because the build is very solid and surprisingly very quiet inside. Of course Sylphy is also very very spacious and much much more sabhai that any of its class like Altis or Mazda 3 or Civic. Sylphy is known as Bluebird in China. I wish Thailand has Sylphy.

You described it very well. And the Sylphy is indeed spacious. You will like the new Sylphy:

Ok, finally found the best khao man gai in Sin City. Heard from a friend but only tried today. Chicken is not over boiled. Rice is quite good. Only thing lacking is the chilli sauce.

So sad its not available here in Thailand I am sure it will beat all the others like Altis, Civic, Mazda-3, Chevy Cruze, etc etc. Nissan is always very slow in Thailand because they just got their act together by buying out their local partner who is the one who slowed down things because of greed.

The Hawaiian airline dinner on board is horrible so we were quite hungry when we arrived in San Francisco. Drove from airport to hotel stopped by a Mexican sandwich restaurant for a quick dinner.

taco bell food isn't as good as the real mexican food. I have eaten the real mexican burritos and tacos before. Lots of veggies in them and huge as hell.

Yes, this is one of the best in Sin City. A hidden gem as not easy to find the place. Next time will prepare my own chilli sauce.

Hi, just curious how much does it cost to rent such studio with view? Is this a tourist area? Does the studio come with cleaning and daily towel change? thanks

ginfreely, this is not a tourist area. These studio unit rental is THB 7.5K/mth (special rate for me :smile:) not inclusive of water,electricity and cleaning. For everything all in, they charge fixed THB 15K/mth. Cable TV (100+ channels) and WIFI is free.
