Hmm Interesting one...I would not vouch for an FB15 on damaged roads...It is very likely you will end up with DAMAGE in a large scale!!

What exactly do you mean by a damaged road? One with serious potholes where you have to be extra, extra cautious, or one where there are patches here and there? Road construction doesn't last forever you know. Besides, most roads in and around Colombo are rather bad anyway (assuming you live in Colombo).

you should go for a car with a relatively less expensive suspension system to repair. you could also seriously consider going for brand new import over JDM imports as the former is optimised for durability on horrible roads. mazda 323 b/new import pops into my mind except that it looks horrible to me. but you shoul be able to find many other examples that suits the 2 criteria i specified. fb15 is ok in terms of less expensive suspension but it's not optimised for durability over poth holes.
good luck mate.

on a side note i don't think there is anything wrong in the manner pereraprr asked the forum his question. when he meant by "best looking" is "best possible looking" or in other words "i care about looks of the car".

I feel like Toyota SOLUNA is the best.
Though it lacks in the shape a bit definitely it is one of the most reliable cars in the market.It is fuel efficient,Comes with options,very hardy(bit uncomfortable),lower in price(YOM 2000 around 13.5lks).
.
Just my personal view.

Hi Guys

FB 15 is quite lower , specially for damaged road not at all good,because you will always have your sump cover damaged
hitting on ground while you drive on uneven roads ,

you better go for a SUV or Double Cab would be the best

thanks
regards

What about the below?

Meets most of your criteria. However, you may have to increase your budget a bit. No comments on the looks / colour.

A bit too old than what you've specified, but considerable.

Hope this was helpful.
