QUOTE(+Newbie+ @ Mar 8 2011, 04:58 PM) Well, like I said. If you really want to measure your FC, you should pump full tank. Not round numbers like RM50 i think my fault for stating the distance with a benchmark with ringgitYou can't expect to get accurate and repeatable results if every time your starting point and ending point is different. It's like shifting goal posts. my full tank is rm62 RON95 (the fuel pump auto stop) it can travel somewhere around 250-300km, 90kmh average speed of course my car is not a proton saga the reason why im posting is because my dad is going to get one new light local car for my sis budget is below 45k looks like proton may be a bad idea why is it that a 1.3 engine in a very light car consumes a lot of fuel (i'd understand if its the rotary) This post has been edited by gtoforce: Mar 8 2011, 06:05 PM |

QUOTE(+Newbie+ @ Mar 8 2011, 07:41 PM) Urm .. not sure .... im driving a modded suv1) RM62 = 32.63 liters, even 300km/32.63 liters = 9.19 km/l That's not very good, bearing in mind it's at 90kph avg. What car you driving? I'm guessing sports car or big SUV. Traffic jam all the time? 2) Why do you think it's a bad idea? 3) Coolkwc has a very good question regarding car weight. You might be surprised by the answer. Damn scary lar, pump like that. lol. I tend to just let it auto stop. And yeah, I wanted to ask the same question as you as well. Haha. car curb weight is somewhere around 1.4-1.5 tonnes (dunno the current weight with the current engine) engine is 1800cc with single turbo (ca18det fitted with a t28/25) no oxygen sensor and ecu yet to be remapped yeah, 1litre/9km is not very good but the previous engine was worse haha according to wiki the curb weight for saga is 1.0+ tonnes thats a very light car - more than a lotus or the 1st generation suzuki swift i dunno if its a really bad idea but i've been reading all these negative perspectives over the long term prospects of owning a saga blm/fl please enlighten me why its not a bad idea? |

QUOTE(claxxion @ Mar 8 2011, 08:10 PM) If you're very concerned over FC, get a viva or myvi. Both are lighter than the saga, and eats less fuel. But dont complain over the bad handling lah. Proton's campro is a very bare basic engine with almost no technology in it. It feels rough and powerless. But i'm not complaining, even though it comes with flaws here and there, I get a bigger boot (I often travel), nicer ride and better cruising feel on the highway compared to a myvi. I always believe if u want to get good FC out of any car, it depends on how you control your right foot and changing gears at the right time. QUOTE(coolkwc @ Mar 8 2011, 08:26 PM) Bad idea if Saga is RM80k. But now this car is from RM38k~43k. to claxxion and coolkwcProton is not famous of their FC, this is undeniable, even last gen with Mitsu engine also not so good in FC. Campro is high rev engine, below 3k is torqueless, but at this speed is crucial since alot of city travel, start stop traffic are around this speed, so even 100kg more heavier the FC is suffer for this small engine. For new car <45k with good FC you only can get 1 car, Perodua Viva, but how is the handling? body stiffness? Cabin size? Aircon? After I close Viva's door I won't ever think again about this car. Since you compare to Suzuki Swift, how much you need to spend for it? is RM30k more bro. RM30k for even mad RM3.00/L RON95 and assume Swift no need fuel to run, i can refuel my Saga 6.5 years (avg 180+L/month fuel usage). About my question just now, my answer is Wira<BLM=VIOS for weight, and do remember BLM and VIOS is in same B segment small sedan, different 40k. But you choose yourself la, BLM is suitable for ppl who want new car with low price such as fresh grad, but since is for your sis, i think should go for small hatch, this car not suit girl one especially reverse. i like your arguments my father is seriously considering myvi i've driven my gf's myvi for 2 years now (i dont wanna waste my vitara minyak la klua with gf...hahahahaa) and i hate the handling i've tried satria neo, saga and neo CPS and yes, they have great handling even satria neo cps' FC is better than saga BLM IMO but i agree, if my sis wants a good car with good Fc, perhaps myvi may be the choice although i'd hate not to have an FL in da house to buli what about persona? is it a good car with good fc? small hatch nowadays mahal, and the only cars that can compare to myvi are alto and i10 my uncle is the CEO of suzuki and GM of Hicom's Special Projects elected not to support the alto nor the i10 QUOTE(SiuYi @ Mar 8 2011, 10:18 PM) gtoforce vitara mod or not susah for my sis mau jalan jauh jauhyo bro, get another same modded vitara and ur sis got no hassle for FC as well.believe me, ur vitara is great, u shud own another modded vitara. proton aint good ride, we all know tat. so get the hassle of. vitara FTW!!! oh btw, give some suggestions if u are NOT going for proton, what will ur next option be? we live in center of kl, she might be working in sunwei HAHAHAHAHAHA.... plus maintenance of this vitara is really high when the time comes to change but its okay, let me be the only one here with a modded SUV |
