Seems like the Korean product offering are way better than the Japanese. Now all they need are a lengthy warranty period (5~10yrs) & great customer service feedback and they'll be number 1.

Even 20k cheaper I would think twice. According to Paultan report, the new Avante has only 14.2km/L on the highway. That is very poor efficiency for a new car.

QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Dec 15 2010, 02:44 PM) 14.2km/L is very poor fuel consumption? Are u sure u know what it means? Yes of course I know. The keyword here is highway.Come on, competing 1.8L engine already getting more than 15km/L on highway. So 1.8L engine with CVT on highway with that figure, there's nothing to brag about. For instance, a Toyota Vios has a 42L fuel tank. So with a fuel consumption of 14.2km/L, a full tank can easily take the Vios almost 600km. And u say this is very poor? If that is considered very poor then a good rating would be about 20km/L giving a total full tank mileage of 840km. This means that a full tank on a Vios can take you from Singapore to Haadyai???   QUOTE(yeowa @ Dec 15 2010, 11:29 AM) How about Myvi? My Myvi gets about 11.6km/L on city driving. That's why to me, the fuel consumption is better than my Myvi. MyVi is having 15km/L on highway. But to compare 1.3L to 1.8L on FC is unfair.  QUOTE(sochaiapk @ Dec 15 2010, 11:31 AM) I think there is a mistake on the conversion from mpg to kml. Well if the conversion is wrong, then having 17km/L for that 1.8L will be very very good. Even far better than the other competitor engines.The US Elantra (Avante) claim can achieve 29mpg(city) and 40mpg(highway). 29mpg is 12.33kml or 8.11l/100km (quite good)  40mpg is 17.01kml or 5.88l/100km (impressive)  50mpg is 21.26kml or 4.7l/100km (marvellous)  |
