Bro, ur Fuelly shows that it is actually quite makan minyak.. ur city drive is always on the stop go??? hope that my highway run will give me better numbers

my city drive is sprint, federal or nkve

full highway can go up to 600km for full tank, got it once, 5.9l/100km

That is not city drive la ...Hahaha~ 5.9 is a good number which is also i will be expecting from my ride

you try federal, sprint and nkve between 8-9.30am and 6-9pm... you tell me its city drive or not...

try not to go over 120km/h or 3k rpm... else makan minyak already...

Thanks for the info, will keep that in mind...
Me travel is Kulim -> Penang -> Alor Setar... no chance to test at KL

ehh, me current normally highway speed with my saga.. 130km/h making 6.8l/100km ... hope the Vios will not go over this number


ya.. also if running at 110km/h what is the rpm reading? what about 130km/h ?

your saga is manual?

110km/h is about 2.8k rpm
120km/h is around 3.1-3.2k rpm

Aiks... need jaga the right foot liao...

honestly, just front strut bar and rear anti roll bar is sufficient for most drivers. the front already have anti roll bar (stabilizer bar).

guys..please recommend me the bars to improve handling and performance abit..

im quite new to these car things..

add both will hit around Rm650++ fit my budget

Add bars will make the car heavier then makan minyak, right?

IMHO. the makan minyak part is not due to bar weight... it's due to acceleration at corners

Totally agree with this.. hahahaha~~~~ can corner must do kaw kaw...

hi all,
I still new on vios this car. I facing a problem that when conner, the car will float. Is it possible to enhance this issue? thanks

My tire is bridgestone Ecopia EP100A 185/60/R15

drift?

erm, proper way of taking the corner is NOT to brake when cornering... Brake kaw kaw 1st... reach the appropriate speed then only turn in.. when hit apex only you accelerate... braking when hitting apex will only give rear tyre losing traction (does this mean the float?).

UR Bars help with the traction...

Edit... maybe you are referring to "Body Roll" ???....

Normally i will brake first before cornering, but when try to accelerate the car on the half of the corner(left), the car will go to another side.(right)

Hello, does anyone have the pic of the new coming out facelift vios?

Yup~ beware not to over stress the traction of the tyre... with the bar in.. losing traction is a confirmed drift (buang)...
