I wouldn't buy a Japanese B-Segment Diesel. But in terms of petrol - there are lots. Honda City, Toyota Vios are the most reliable of the lot.It is the truth. Would any second hand Japanese b segment car be feasible?
wahlau... that e90 2.0 I was driving for a while managed 8-9L/100km city driving. You heavy footed ka?All my cars above 10+ L/100km. When I see your 8.1, I think it's fuel sipping.
So what figures are you aiming for? Does this mean you are aiming for an older and lighter car? BMW by no means lighter.
These guys love the driving feel of their cars. To them driving feel and dynamics trump fuel consumption. Like VR2turbo his whole family of 4 went car shopping and tried the CX5, Xtrail and all - the moment they got into the Forester they had decided. It was never about fuel consumption for these guys. Parakey is a car enthusiast whos ass is big enough to own 3 cars to his name (which isn't a lot compared to some of the champions here in ZTH) and all of them have their characteristics and feel.and you live with it?
His Iriz not getting 14km/l is abit surprising as that figure is easy to achieve in normal everyday driving.I wouldn't buy a Japanese B-Segment Diesel. But in terms of petrol - there are lots. Honda City, Toyota Vios are the most reliable of the lot.

If you're looking at FC only, I suggest you consider a Vios (any generation) or a Myvi (1.5 and newer only) or a Polo GTI/TSI. Direct fuel injection will beat the crap out of any car out there in terms of FC. City driving and boosting everywhere can give me lowest 14km/L in a Polo TSI and modified Jetta TSI. These DFI cars have crazy good FC but still lose to diesel though. If VW is too expensive then Vios is good. Else the Peroduas are the cheapest options.
My forester actually gives the best mileage, because CVT, but highways only. It's heavy so for town, stop go traffic pretty heavy FC. Then of course VR, driving VR really never think of FC.......hahhahahaThese guys love the driving feel of their cars. To them driving feel and dynamics trump fuel consumption.

bro, this is ZTH (Zero To Hundred). These folks only aim how to achieve that 0-100 goal... performance... performance... and enjoy driving... FC not in picture. LoLand you live with it?
If you're not used to driving hybrid the battery regen will be a nuisance. And the braking feel is absolutely rubbish with the brake regen also. I personally hate older hybrids. The newer ones though have improved a lot on these items but I still dislike them. I drove the Jazz hybrid to Ulu Yam and back and I was sooooo tired after a day of driving it. It's bumpy, it's slow and heavy and the brake/coasting batt regen made me want to puke everytime. It was so hard to drive smooth.How abt hybrid?
A used Jazz hybriz any good?
Well, only car that can get good FC in jam situation is the hybrids.My forester actually gives the best mileage, because CVT, but highways only. It's heavy so for town, stop go traffic pretty heavy FC. Then of course VR, driving VR really never think of FC.......hahhahaha
Not really la. I am a stickler for FC but I also want a good driving feel.bro, this is ZTH (Zero To Hundred). These folks only aim how to achieve that 0-100 goal... performance... performance... and enjoy driving... FC not in picture. LoL
Does that mean you are no longer that hung up on FC anymore?reading all your insights gave me a wake up call. I guess I will stick to my current ride until I have the finance for a ride which I fall in love again and again.
hahhahhahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahhahaa..........................bro, this is ZTH (Zero To Hundred). These folks only aim how to achieve that 0-100 goal... performance... performance... and enjoy driving... FC not in picture. LoL

Hihihi...i would luv to see that day.reading all your insights gave me a wake up call. I guess I will stick to my current ride until I have the finance for a ride which I fall in love again and again.
I am in a perpetual dislike relationship with my current ride. While I dont want to fall into this snarl again, It doesn't feel good at all now!!Does that mean you are no longer that hung up on FC anymore?
I hope so too. This will transpire when i have the finance for it.Hihihi...i would luv to see that day.
I bet u will own at least 2 ride with totally opposite character and die2 said u loved them both. Even when u said its rubbish, u will still keep driving it.
Getting this sort of ride is challenging when conti can only offer such.Not really la. I am a stickler for FC but I also want a good driving feel.
I thought Iriz has good handling. Why do you dislike it? CVT? Poor NVH?I am in a perpetual dislike relationship with my current ride. While I dont want to fall into this snarl again, It doesn't feel good at all now!!
Thats the love-hate relationship he is experiencing. Later if or when he get a cushy car he will miss the solid ride of the Iriz..hehehehI thought Iriz has good handling. Why do you dislike it? CVT? Poor NVH?
