A Vespa dealer opened here in our area and they have a promo for the LX150ie at P 99k for the first 99 buyers. Searched the net and found that this promo has been since last year, the new dealer Granstar has considerably lower Vespa prices, the units are made in Vietnam, etc. The wife likes the 'vintage' look of the Vespa and said if we are going to have a scooter it would only be Vespa. I've looked at the prices of the other availble scooters and they range at P 60-75k, so the difference can be as big as P 30k. There are a lot of other scooters available:
Yamaha Mio, Nuovo
Honda Beat, Scoopy
Suzuki Sydrive, Hayate
Kymco Super 8, Agility, Like
The use would be mostly for leisure, short rides, with the occasional long trips with the wife (my most anticipated use).
I'd like to have some comments from those with real world experiences, and it would be great if those who've ridden the LX 150ie can share how the ride is.
I'm interested in:
1. Comfort
2. Driveability/maneuverability
3. Actual fuel consumption
4. Maintenance
5. Service (dealers, parts)
Thanks.
