    3 Months already. Very easy to park in tight spaces. Ample room for 5 not so big people. I like it a lot. Fuel consupmtion not too good though, been getting 12kms/l at most (mixed). Will update when the car gets broken in. Only have 2000 kms. on it at the moment.

    Hi!

    Sounds like the plight of another city dweller, fighting crazy Manila traffic. Did you keep track of the fuel consumption of your previous vehicle?

    what Petrol spec do you have in Manila ? Ron 90 is recommended according to manual. Perhaps has influence to power to weight ratio ?

    95 is the normal RON of fuel here. Forgot to factor in the wheel upgrade.

    Welcome to the forum!
    Previous car is around 8-9kms/l mixed. Hehehe. Higher engine displacement though.

    Are you correcting the odometer reading for the larger wheels/tires? If it's a larger circumference, it will be under-reporting your distance covered, which will result in worse fuel consumption calculations.

    Also, the bigger wheels may hurt fuel economy some. See: How wheel & tire size and style affect Mirage fuel economy/mileage
