@desioptimist: I am an Indian and My words are from what I understood going through various auto forums for the trends in Lanka.
Regarding cheapest Jap car, I don't know.but, for some 600,000 Indian Rupees, You may get a Toyota Vitz in Lanka.

This thread will show you the mentality of average lankan buyer. :
Tata Nano - AutoLanka

Well, some second hand cars do have better value than tata nano. Depends on ones preference. Let public decide.

Isn't Tata has "Tata Magic Iris" as alternate for Cab/Autorickshaw Owners?

Jesus, that is one weird looking car.

As far as taxis go, Corolla all the way

Reliable and very spacious.

This is a 5th generation Suzuki Alto

The 5th generation Alto (HA12/22) was introduced in October 1998. The styling was generally more rounded, the shape of the cabin showing the Alto's relationship with the new Suzuki Kei. The 658 cc K6A engine was now also available without a turbocharger, joining the turbocharged version and the familiar 657 cc F6A engines. The turbocharged Works models were available with a 60 hp F6A engine (ie, 5MT/3AT and FF or 4WD) or a 64 hp VVT K6A (RS/Z, 5MT and FF or 4WD). The front wheel drive RS/Z was sold with a non-VVT K6A engine when in combination with a 4-speed automatic transmission, it too with a claimed 64 hp. In December 2000, the Works versions were discontinued, as the Alto was realigned as an economy version.

@Zabanya: I think the import policy of vehicles including personal imports are similar in Bangladesh and Lanka? Can You Explain How tough is it to import or buy refurbished/unregistered Japan,Euro Cars in Bangladesh?

@desioptimist: In Lanka, they have alternate options. ie, You can buy Maruti Altos,Swifts OR Japanese Altos,Swifts etc. similarly Indian imports are differentiated as Honda,Chevrolet etc has importers who imports from India as well as from the Country of Origin(like Japan)!

Safetywise no. Refined, yes suzuki is better, with less noise.
Anyway, you are comparing tata nano with second hand alto.
