Versa = Tiida

Buy only Tokunbo, but generally speaking I fear that engine and the CVT

There are three options actually: CVT, Conventional A/T, and Manual Transmission.

More CVT fitted transmission for Versa while Tiida has more Auto.

Versa was badged majorly in US and NA

Tiida majorly Asian market

Great car. Genesis is doing excellent work these days, I'd place them right under Lexus and above Acura/Infiniti.

U get my question sir...

Good vehicle any year you can afford. But advice able to stay away from 2.0L engine of the Accord parts not common. stick with the 2.4 and V6 less wahala and complications.

if you are not buying the Highlander for the 3rd row seat and the cargo space maybe you should focus on the RAV4 instead

but I believe the Highlander should do 13 to 15L per 100km in city driving if still in good condition

With the 2019/2020 3 series, BMW has repositioned the 3, I believe the IS and the 3 are no longer in the same market segment. The GS is a more compatible comparison in size and price rather than an IS. I heard Lexus is also discontinuing the GS.

The 3 was always bigger than the IS, though.

I don't really know any but you can talk with Calculusx.
Also, it seems Amdman is making waves in his corner. However, do your due diligence and proceed with caution.

You can send me updates if you wish.

You'll be fine.

If you don't want that, get the V6 which is the same engine on the Honda Accord V6.
