bro....thanks for your feedback.

Really appreciate it but the thing is, i am planning to upgrade to a 1.8.

so if you could confine your feddback to the 4 cars mentioned above, it would be really helpful.

i've heard good remarks coming fr altis and civic....

but to what extend.... i'm not sure.

 

[PocketRocket]

uhh...dont know but the rest of the 4 cars u mentioned above,but i have a friend using a satria GSR takes him almost touching 500kms per full tank before the petrol hike(rm60)...damn good FC for a 1.8T IMO.

cars with variable valve timing would definitely have better fuel consumption than those without.

in this case, all but Proton comes with their own term of variable valve timing

Honda Civic in 1.8 and 2.0S spec. iVTEC, 16 valve DOHC
~ intelligent - Variable Valve Timing and Electronic Camshaft Lift

Toyota Corolla Altis in 1.6 and 1.8 spec, VVTi 16v DOHC
~ Variable Valve Timing - intelligent

Nissan Sentra in 1.6 and 1.8 spec, also available in Nismo bodykit. VTC 16V
~ Variable Valve Timing Camshaft

in ur case, Waja no more available as 1.8. the 1.6 is a must avoid unless ur budget is between 50-60K.

Altis and Sentra are old in this company. Civic emerge as the best and latest in town.

in terms of economy, either Sentra, Altis and Civic (all 1.8) have similar FC.

CLOSE your EYES..and go for the CIVIC...
Forget the WAJA..the Sentra..they dont even deserve to be on ur list...
You can consider the Altis...but its dated compared to the CIVIC..
Therefore according to ur list...its the CIVIC>A no brainer...

Civics have always been known to be fuel saver car. No doubt about it. My colleagues Wira 1.5A has the same FC as my Civic 1.6A SOHC. And can you even believe it that another colleague of mine driving a 5 year old Iswara also has about the same FC as my car.

waja fc expensive... thats what ppl say
i-VTEC engine always d best 1... hehe... best for low FC
so take civic

 

[sudha]

cool stuff guys.

Thanks for the feedback!

Does anyone have a Civic?...Any comparisons on FC between Civic and Altis?

cheers!

 

[bobo]

civic will be good choice... don have 2 think twice edi.. sure wont regret wan..

 

[David_1211]

i-Vtec provided both low rpm fuel economy and High rpm power output
VVT-i didnt provide Valve lifting...so if you got a heavy foot...goes for Altis for fuel economy...if you want fuel economy and power in same time..CIvic is the best

 

[KeV-TEC]

hehe... zth here sure all like POWER!!!
or else wont be joining ZERO TO HUNDRED!!!
so go for CIVIC!!!
hondarian rulez!!!
hohoho
