Kia Forte, cheaper and much better equiped..

the interior of Axio is really..... bare minimum.

 

exterior looks simple. tat's about it. u won't really fall in love with the looks of the car. but it'll serve u loyally .

 

how does a car serve u loyally u may ask? through its excellent FC.

 

 

anyway, the OMV of axio is a mere 13++ k.

 

like someone suggest... might as well get a Kia Forte with its AD support. (ok.. another korea vs jap thinggy again. spare me)

No complaints at all. Happy driving it.

 

Happy comments? Looking at the weekly fuel bill, very happy. Each week pumping less than S$50 of Shell95 with 430+km on Odo.

 

Nice basic and good rear leg room for my rear passengers. I need to push driver seat all the way to the back to drive. Boot space more than enough to pack my weekend r/c helis and boats.

Axio has cvt-i transmission and using 1NZ-FE engine. Good FC

[Amokie]

here's my personal comments

 

i bought it in Feb 09 at 52k, OMV was 16k, getting some 15.5 km/litre... 1.5litres engine but it has more than enough power to overtake smoothly.

 

PI already provide all the accessories, i don't need to bargain for this and that... (compared to going to borneo)

 

quiet engine, interior, smooth 5 gear CVT change, good legspace, reverse cam

 

only complain from me - interior looks boring, the pick up speed is average... the CVT engine gets quite noisy if you try to push for faster pick up speed.

 

 

 

1st full tank 680km / 41 litres

2nd tank 560km / 39 litres

tachnometer.. u can get the G model... comes with it.....

 

I am driving a axio also.. most of the time highway from east to west... 1 tank can go up to 700+km.... at constant speed of 90-100km/hr..

 

 

[Amokie]

i say just get the normal version... cheaper...

 

i was driving a manual car before this.... used to look at the tachnometer alot...

 

but now driving axio... it is an auto car... just drive and go, u dun need the tachnometer

 

since it is a PI car, spare parts may not be readily available.

 

did you also consider avante? i feel that the interior is biggest of the class, cool looking blue meterboard, much cheaper.

Sure I also installed a tachometer in my Axio. But very seldom looking at it.

 

Only bad feedback is the noise insulation, and I done soundproofing on wheel arc, fenders, firewall and floor pan. Improved a lot.

How much did you pay for the soundproofing?

Most important you should look out for branding and reliability rather then equipment level.
