Uh and what's the content of this 2nd post? You are thinkin of getting a 1.2 CVT Mirage/Space Star? If you can afford it I will recommend you to get the CVT

[spacester]

a cvt no manual i hate manual shifting for day to day driving.
so yes the 1.2 liter.

i am hoping on more then 1:22
i never drive above 95kmph on the highway and city i use a bike if i can so i hope to get around that number or better...

Uh ... I always get annoyed when ppl drives under 100 km/h on highway where the max speed 120 km/h or 130 km/h as it can be dangerous. I really hope you don't pass a truck with 100 km/h with traffic driving around 130 km/h around you?

will i have the same thing about annoyed and dangerous when people drive to fast :P
the only danger is the person behind the steering wheel not the speed.
i keep behind and with trucks.
i would advocate max 100kmph on al highways haha

You driving style sounds like mine. I almost always bike when in town, and always take secondary (scenic) highways when I go on trips.

Translation for others: 1:22 = 1L per 22 km = 4.55 L/100 km = 51.75 MPG (US)

I think that's attainable if cruising at 95 km/h (~59 mph). The manual 1.2 can do that in warm conditions with the air conditioning running, and it's revving much higher than the CVT, so the CVT will do even better. (See Speed vs. mileage/fuel economy chart - Mirage 1.2L 5-spd )

Thanks for posting that! I'll add a summary of the results in the fuel economy section.

Lol i have driven the car a lot and i come nowhere near 1:24 let alone 1:22. Am happy if I can even get 1:20.
