Rainman 1st Gear September 29, 2011 Share September 29, 2011 Good for them, finally realised that fc is one of their shortcomings. But 20km/l is damn impressive for a 2l, even 15km/l is super good for non hybrid. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyke Supercharged September 29, 2011 Author Share September 29, 2011 Interior looks the same as the current model but xterior changed a little. Hope the sky-active + 6 gears can boost some sales for Mazda. unfortunately, this new tech only for the 2L engines which have to fight in the competitive, ie. expensive Cat B. and historically, not as many 2L Mazda3 solds compared to 1.5L ones.

M3ZZ Neutral Newbie September 29, 2011 Share September 29, 2011 am driving a Mazda3 2.0 and it gives me 12km/L or 8.3L/100km on a 17in rim...uses caltex 98...which I consider very good for a 2.0L car. Hope the sky-active lives up to its claim. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_young_once Neutral Newbie September 30, 2011 Share September 30, 2011 The Nissan Tiida is a compact car, manufactured by Japanese automaker ... 1.5-litre straight-4 HR15DE gasoline engine; fuel economy 18.0 km/litre in JC08 Mode. ... or 17.2km/L under the JC08 test cycle) achieved by most models with the SKYACTIV-G 2.0 haha u gana plugged I have always been amused with Nissan's naming, first time I saw our local Latio badged as TIIDA in Bangkok, first thing come to mind is "TIIDA apa", as in tidak apa attitude And the TEANA first thing I thought was the adult diaper TENA and second thing I thought was how is TEANA supposed to be read? Tee-Na? Tina Turner? or Tian Ah! (chinese, my goodness!), I hate this car Kenny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M3ZZ Neutral Newbie October 2, 2011 Share October 2, 2011 yeah mostly sg roads but occasionally off to KL and back. My fuel consumption had been hovering ard 8.4L/100km until I sent in for 20000k service. Then it dropped to 8.3L/100km. So am still puzzle why many forumers complained that Mazda3 consume more than other makes in the category. My colleague bought a Forte 1.6 and only to sold it after 8mths complaining on high fuel consumption and weak performance and of course he made some $ out of the escalating COE...lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic October 2, 2011 Share October 2, 2011 (edited) For Forte, if it's auto, no surprise for high FC. Or any 1.6 family saloon car with an auto tranny. You made the right choice for going for a 2L Mazzie 3. If you'd chosen 1.6L, probably you will be complaining about the high FC now. A manual 2L Mazzie 3 will be perfect, but....

Notsogoodman 4th Gear October 3, 2011 Share October 3, 2011 compression ratio stated by mazda is 12:1. That is because they can't fit the new exhaust manifold design into the current Mazda3 chasis, so they have to detuned the engine... The 14:1 compression ratio will only be available on the next generation ride starting from the CX-5 next year... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elfenstar 3rd Gear October 3, 2011 Share October 3, 2011 14:1 compression with low FC is impressive, only question is its reliability with all that pressure. Prolly using a millers cycle engine, and IIRC, the pressure was never a direct issue in the past, it was the early detonation because of it that was it, but Mz claims its been solved via their improved designs for the internals.

Elfenstar 3rd Gear October 3, 2011 Share October 3, 2011 compression ratio stated by mazda is 12:1. Yes, it will be 12:1 for the 2012 North American version, and 13:1 for the 2012 version for the rest of the world, thereafter it will be raised to 13:1 and 14:1 respectively.
