Wow for a 1.8 litre 17km/l?

Must be impossible to achieve in real life.

 

Anw, Allion vs Civic, both are expensive. So both are not worthy.

 

Might as well save $15k to buy the Forte 2.0.

Read somewhere that we have to minus 2 km/l from the published FC 'cos the car was tested without stuffs like spare tyre, audio system etc.

 

So likely could be 15 km/l? Perhaps someone driving an Allion 1.8L could help shed some light....

I highly doubt...

In any case, Civic 1.8 also du have 13km/l la...

My friend's Allion 1.5 only can get 13-14km/l in SG daily driving...NSH different story la...

Civic 1.8 i think at most 11km/l

 

In terms of features like keyless entry and those extra frills, the Allion wins hands down. Civic got nothing

IN term of performance, both on par

In terms of looks, Civic nicer IMO

FC Wise, Allion wins hands down but drivability, i belive Civic is still a nicer drive

 

I guess it will boil down to OMV and whatever else la...somehow Allion still has that Ah Peck Chia badge

i love allion. but only if its 1.5.

 

 

in the 1.8 category, i must say its civic's arena, no one comes close.

My colleague's Civic 1.8L gets about 12km/L.....

Thought that the 1.5L Allion is underpowered? Maybe a 1.8L Allion will overcome this problem....

I voted for the civic for the driving pleasure & from AD

if i ever choose a 1.5, its definitely about practicality.

but if that same 1.5 can give me some luxury, good reliability, looks and FC, i would ask why not?

 

 

if i choose a 1.8, it must be the drive that i'm after. so naturally i'll go for civic.

 

thats just me

1.5L Allion body weight 1.4 ton, definitely underpowered, but 1.8 Allion body weight only 1.2 ton
