don't like to spoil the fun...
but one of my fellow mate over @ tsikot.com/forums reported very poor Fuel Consumption with this car.
hope this is an isolated case.
better do your research if ever your planning to get this car.

Using the Shell V-Power Nitro+ yielded the worst city FC yet, 5.41km/L! Not only that, the lower RON Nitro+ gave me the dreaded engine "knocking" sound on at least 4 occasions with the last one the noise is so loud when accelerating in A/T mode doing 40+km/hr that my wife seating on the front noticed and asked "unsa nang banha?!" ("what is that noise?!). Hirap umakyat, mabagal mag accelerate and the engine emitted a louder growl because the lower power made my foot pressing on the accelerator harder. I'll stay away from Shell from now on since I can't seem to find any Nitro+ Racing available locally here in Cagayan de Oro City.

I am now using Caltex GOLD for my next fc evaluation with "ECO" on to make the comparison more or less fair among fuel yields. My current mileage is 715km.

Almost 1m na sa cebu boss pero sa manila 843t lang na. All their units are overpriced for nearly 200t para makailad sila sa trade in nila.
