Always stuck in traffic jam so higher fuel consumption lesser km per litre of fuel. Go highway drive constant speed then that 'estimated' range will grow up...

As voscar indicated, also always check your average speed for the mileage you are observing (calculating).
If there is aloy of stop/go and idling, obviously the fuel consumption will be higher. And dont use fuel tank balance for any calculation. Go by tank size (Liter). Half a tank indicator may not be accurate

Im just guessing here, you fuel tank is about 40+L, so it would have taken about 400+km to finish the tank, hence its about 10km/L, thats pretty good for a city driving.

I see. Used units seem overpriced. This passat used car value is very high makes it not so worth it to get used.
Was looking at the Arteon also but the price have gone up to RM280k now.

Yeah totally understand your feelings SC always try to reject our claims with every possible ways sweat.gif


Previous owner modded downpipe, cold air intake, EBC yellowstuff and mapped to Revo stage 2.
So I've just changed a sets of lightweight rims, Yokohama V601 tyres, BC BR coilovers and I'm going to stop for modding for now. blush.gif

Lol the gearbox is fine. In hind sight , the GtI is the worthwhile one. But I can’t afford that. It still drives and handles very well. Fun. For me.

Issues? Lol yeah there are. SC promptly handled it well. Need to put car in SC for a week though

I am always ok. Even my proton iriz stayed with SC till it’s 8th year.

Proton SC did throw in some goodies like helping me change yellowed headlights and suspension at 5th year.
But at the 7th 8th year the gearbox is starting to act up. Hence the car change .

I consulted the VW servicing price chart before I buy this.

It’s not far off from a Mazda if mazda did not give 5 year free service.

Only thing not ok is if I suddenly get retrenched lmao that I can’t really guess if it’ll happen.
