1. 7.5km/l is real life figure as i own the car. when i check fuelly, the lowest ever recorded was 16km/l for prius c. that's still over 8km/l difference. satisfied enough?
Did fuelly mention the highest fuel consumption for your wife's present car? You may want to check it, and then compare how much it differs from your so-called real life figure of 7.5km/L. This gives you some idea on whether you can get 16km/L for the Prius C. Understand enough?
2. yes prius c was in consideration. the saving was a blunt calculation assuming fuel prices remain the same throughout the years. the more expensive, the more the favor tilt over to prius c
You mentioned you never complained about expensive fuel (refer to orange statement below). So what has fuel price to do with your choice of replacement car? After all, the fuel consumption volume wise is the same regardless of fuel price, no?
3. 25k with 5 years loan (with 20k dp) comes up to about rm500 monthly and i get to own another car (yea, i know liability bla bla bla)
So if it is not about saving money from the fuel, let's ditch this servicing/owning cost. You could own the latest BMW electric car or Tesla as you are more interested in using fuel (as in petrol) efficiently, right?
4. servicing was like 3~4 times per year. no problem
Refer to point no. 3
5. this was in response to the forumer who replied 800miles per week and 200km was just pigi balik kerja without considering other uses.
So you pluck 100,000km from where? Why not make it 500,000km to make the savings bigger?
based on your logic, people who owned sport car or big displacement car shouldn't get other vehicle for transport regardless of how fuel sucking their car was because when you factor in car prices maintenance bla bla bla it will never add up.
You are barking up the wrong tree. Those people you mentioned, did they complain to you about high fuel consumption?
What u fail to realise is that you get to own a second vehicle which is a property, it will spell convenience, as a backup vehicle, and most importantly, cheaper to run monthly
Is this the purpose of you opening this thread? All I read is fuel consumption, savings. Did you write about backup or convenience?
i get paid monthly, so installment for a second car is easier than paying something that you burn recklessly.
assuming im running 800km per month just to pigi balik office, with elantra im burning 106L of fuel.
with prius c, assuming at 16km/l, im burning 50L of fuel only. 50L x 2.1 = RM105 saved per month. dont forget fuel price fluctuates and it wont be cheap forever.
So, you buy another depreciating liability so that you can save on fuel. It's like you go and rent another small flat to stay because the electricity bill for your bungalow is very high, and you think staying in a flat will use less electricity, saving you money.
remember, i never complaint about expensive fuel, from the first post of the thread, i did mention that im looking for means to use fuel efficiently.
omg please read la dude. i did mention that 12.6km/l was pulled from fuelly.com and my real life fuel consumption is 7.5km/l
nah, i dont really buy the "hybrid change battery nightmare" thing, at least not in near future.
Of course, our cars don't spoil. Only other people's hybrid cars require battery change.
if everything was calculated in long term, i guess owning a car was stupid in the first place since i can rent or grab/uber/taxi and it still cost much lesser than owning a car.
same like how people was arguing it is best to rent rather than buy a house property.
This is classic. You opened a thread about saving money, calculating how much you would have saved over FIVE YEARS by buying a Prius C, and now you are saying this calculation is not important.
Ok lah, I surrender. Minta ampun, Tuan. It is your money and your car. Why ask people if you refuse to acknowledge different opinions?
