Osiris 1st Gear April 24, 2008 Share April 24, 2008 92 is ok. Owner Manual state min 91. Protector no sure though but i don't think it really help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shern25 2nd Gear April 27, 2008 Share April 27, 2008 Hi, Does anyone have the safety concern for the 3rd row passengers in case of rear collision by a heavy lorry travelling at high speed? I am still considering either a sedan or MPV. Have 3 kids age not more 3yrs old, 1 wife, 1 MIL and 1 maid, so a total of 7 in my family. currently my vios is still sufficient (MIL and maid carry 1 child each, eldest child sit by himself, wife and me in front). But let's say I upgrade to new altis with wider width, behind can still have maid carry the youngest child, MIL and my 2 elder children can have a space on the seat, so only my maid has to suffer in the journey carrying the child. sound very compact but at least all got the rear protection of a boot. Now if I upgrade to MPV (using Stream as the example for discussion here), everyone can have a decent space on the car seat. But concern will be those seating in the 3rd row because no more boot protection. I heard that by default all MPV will have thicker metal for the rear door to compensate for the lack of boot protection. Is it true for Stream? Has anyone heard of passengers seating in 3rd row suffered serious injuries due to rear collision? Am I being thoughtless if i put any of my family members in the 3rd row seats in a MPV, or should I put all 5 members (2adults+3children) in the 2nd row seats leaving the 3rd row empty (and so might as well get a sedan)?

Jl1500k Clutched April 27, 2008 Share April 27, 2008 children will grow up month by month. 3 rd row may need it after few years and also too much worry cannot buy MPV liao. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben123 Neutral Newbie April 28, 2008 Author Share April 28, 2008 Hi, Topped up my first tank for Stream with 63.3 litres. Current mileage reads 10.7 km/litre. Was a bit disappointed as I thought I could reach around 12 km/litre. Is there an optimal speed drive to drive say 80 km/h or 90 km/h just to give me a few more km before heading for petrol station? I am using 92 RON petrol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaloryalor 5th Gear April 28, 2008 Share April 28, 2008 I think your stream has not run in. My friend's friend was getting about 10km/L initially but able to clock 12km/L after driving about 3~4 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaloryalor 5th Gear April 28, 2008 Share April 28, 2008 I would think MPV is more suitable for you. When the kids grow up they would want to occupy a seat by themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply_lex Neutral Newbie April 28, 2008 Share April 28, 2008 I realised more streets driving than highway, it's not FC friendly. However, if your driving routes are more highway, it's definitely one of the most FC friendly MPV in the market compared to other rides of the same cat. or even comparable to the sedan. Of course, most importantly, is our right foot on the acceleration pedal. During run-in, I'm always between 12.5 - 13.1km/L. But after run-in, sometimes as low as 9.8 to as high as 11.7.

Osiris 1st Gear April 28, 2008 Share April 28, 2008 No offense, what's the point of comparing. Your 3 kids under 3 should have been properly restrained by Child seats. In a collision, the 1 seated by himself is exposed to strangulation by the seat belt or at best ribs, shoulder bones fractured by the adult seat belt. The 2 carried by MIL and maid will be flung out of the car, hit their head against the windscreen or side windows. This is evident by many cases such as the grandis in MY. So worrying if compact MPV can safeguard the 3rd row is pointless, if you don't even observe basic safety precaution now. I hazard a guess that properly restrained kids will have a higher chance of surviving an accident as compared to those using adult seat belt or held down by adults.

Friendstar Supercharged April 28, 2008 Share April 28, 2008 how come running in is better than non-running in? by right running in should suck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris 1st Gear April 28, 2008 Share April 28, 2008 Me still running in, just finished 1k servicing. You are right, the stream is made for highway cruising. My heavy city driving is yielding 10km/l. during run in But on a round 60km trip 90% highway late at night with very light traffic, I got 18km/l.

Shern25 2nd Gear April 28, 2008 Share April 28, 2008 You got the point. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahyoo2002 2nd Gear April 28, 2008 Share April 28, 2008 The reason for me to consider MPV is that I do not think it is wise to change car too frequently. When kids grow up + maid, MPV is always better as it can carry more people and also more more stuff. You can even carry your kids bicycle for a short outing. So far, it seems that MPV 3rd row is safe enough. Am I right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply_lex Neutral Newbie April 28, 2008 Share April 28, 2008 during run-in, I kept below 90km/h. and avoid unneccessary accelerating. thus, while on highway, always maintained consistent 70 - 80km/h on 2nd lane. and therefore, seldom on 1st lane, and indirectly minimise chances of overtaking. ya, pls call me kiasu. after run-in, most of the time was on 1st lane. even during street driving, will accelerate alittle more when green lights to my favour.

Simply_lex Neutral Newbie April 28, 2008 Share April 28, 2008 (edited) wow, i tot mine was consider highest...after my 1st full pump, my highest hit was 16.8km/h. anyway that was the initial reading after hitting the highway straight after the full tank pump. not regular reading, so i did not count that as my actual reading. To Add: actually, able to hit 10km/l for excessive city driving consider pretty Edited April 28, 2008 by Simply_lex Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris 1st Gear April 28, 2008 Share April 28, 2008 10km/l is ok considering my sunny also yield the same for the same travel pattern. 18km/l is based on what was calculated on the trip computer. Not sure how true that is. running in for me is no brisk acceleration and braking. But will hit 90kmh whenever possible. One thing for sure, those doing a lot of highway, Stream is properly the best FC small MPV to get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shern25 2nd Gear April 28, 2008 Share April 28, 2008 sunny same FC as a MPV? sunny is really a drinker then. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
