If I move to Thailand I'll probably buy a car. Was thinking of getting a sedan like a Yaris, Corolla, ... but nowadays with floods being so common I think it might be better get a taller vehicle. Any suggestions on which Toyota modeks to consider e.g. Hilux, Land Cruiser.,.... etc

Renew COE For An Existing Vehicle
onemotoring.com.sg/content/onemotoring/en/lta_information_guidelines/maintain_vehicle/coe1.html
"You do not need to bid for a COE for COE renewal. To renew the COE for your existing vehicle for another 10 years, pay the Prevailing Quota Premium (PQP). To renew the COE for another 5 years, pay 50% of the PQP"

I have this opinion:
Option 1
Buy 1 new Hyundai car and drive for 10 years
Buy another new hyundai car and drive for 10 years
Total 10 years
Option 2
buy 1 Toyota fortuner and driving for 20 years (renew coe)
Option 2 is cheaper even though the initial capital outlay is higher. Option 2 is more reliable.

Gingerlyn you may wish to take a look at this old but informative thread particularly Leongsam's take on his test drive here http://www.sammyboy.com/showthread....truck-to-be-launch-soon&p=2397344#post2397344
I could only speak for the truck and not the SUV however should be very similar. This 8th generation Toyota Hilux is very different from past generations as comfort level is very high even the drive is not truck like often feels like a sedan due to the smoothness of the engine and the steering. I am sure the Fortuna is even better.
By the way it's been 15 months now and I've clocked only 6,034km now and so far went to the gas station 9 times to fill up diesel. It's quite under utilized mostly maid use it for shopping and going home. Consumption now about 750km to a tank. My older V-Cross Dmax could easily do 900km to a tank once even did about 1,060km.
