Celicar Turbocharged March 22, 2013 Share March 22, 2013 Looking at the Lancer 1.5l GLS but did a search and saw that the fc not that good. Beyond the usual Altis, what else should I consider? ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
13177 Supersonic March 22, 2013 Share March 22, 2013 Think if good fc, the only choice always toyota cars. Like the vios and altis?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyfitms Twincharged March 22, 2013 Share March 22, 2013 (edited) vios? my auntie has super heavy foot and says that she only fill up the tank once every 2-3 weeks. Drives 5 days a week, abt 40-50km each day. seems like pretty good FC to me Edited March 22, 2013 by Wyfitms 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckbuild 6th Gear March 22, 2013 Share March 22, 2013 Altis and vios are quite good, I manage to get 18km/l out of it. It depends on whether you want the look or the good FC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passat57 3rd Gear March 22, 2013 Share March 22, 2013 Polo has good fuel consumption, so is Jetta, but both below 1.5 litre. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celicar Turbocharged March 22, 2013 Author Share March 22, 2013 Thanks all. Only concern I have about Vios is (rightly or wrongly) safety features. Maybe I will consider Jetta, but Jap car still preferred. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanter 3rd Gear March 22, 2013 Share March 22, 2013 Prius is obvious choice? But you thinking of saving money & running cost, parts etc I guess Vios or Altis. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If fc really mattes cos u travel alot, perhaps manual would be a betta choice.. As for vw, seriously hope u think twice.. Ya I agreed German badge, solid built, attractive pricing but............................... Isn't the dsg a killer? Lol........ 2 of my frens whom are vw owners had mechatronics failure, 1st guy after a yr.. 2nd guy, aft travel less den 2500km.. Juz my 2 cents.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benarsenal Turbocharged March 22, 2013 Share March 22, 2013 (edited) Prius/Prius C. Prius C definitely. Super fuel sipper. Especially if you drive in town a lot. Polo also quite frugal actually. Edited March 22, 2013 by Benarsenal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckbuild 6th Gear March 22, 2013 Share March 22, 2013 Prius is obvious choice? But you thinking of saving money & running cost, parts etc I guess Vios or Altis. Prius and Prius C is just like Altis, same maintenance cost. Hybrid engine is service free. Inverter coolant change per 100k km. Battery 10 years warranty if buy from AD.

Or you might wanna look at the new Slyphy, the CVT might get you 15 to 18 km/l as well. Prius/Prius C 7 air bags. Altis 2 air bags. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Looking at 2nd hand market, and the dashboard bubble nightmare for the old sylphy I scared scared. Looking at something around Altis size, so Prius like a bit too small. Taking into account all feedback, seems like cannot run away from Altis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you mean Prius C size and not Prius, Prius size is almost a Camry. Or you might want to try the Auris. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dashboard bubble really quite a nightmare on sylphy, but you can change the dashboard and dont think it is a major problem. If you want a size about altis, think the only car with good FC is altis. Other similar car dont really hear the FC is good lo. But how about city? The i-vtec should be not bad? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
