eh.. 14 is low for a jazz. average is 15. can even hit 17 without much difficulties. rmb.. fuel IS still expensive.. needless to say more.

Of the mentioned cars, Jazz, Swift, Altis, Lancer & Vios...these 5 cars are within my range as in, not more than 60k.

However so, i've no clear idea which to go for...therefore, would need some opinions and advices from car experts and owners' experiences...Thanks! Mr. Green

Me facing the same situation but got another option is Honda City idsi 1.5l A. 55k from KM. Considering this i-idsi engine City. Jazz $57 is ex. for a 1.3l A.

ölala SG

Mazda 3 or even Ford Focus can consider but if FC is main concern City or vios.
looks and mod then go for Mz3 or swift, for space are Altis or Lancer. Infact depand on which one you like, there are pro and con for every car. Latest figure show that Altis top among the 1.6 cat, then is Sunny cos of the low price. The rest is quit close in figure cos the agent can't bring in large quantity.
Do go and test drive .....afew times if you are not sure. But if you ask me which one is worth buying I think BM have the best price in term of the profit they are making-go LTA onemotoring to check the breakdown cost.
One comment on FC, hear ppl compliant FC is a big issue but if you really add up the cost it is actually not a big percentage of the overall cost. If you change car often then I think you loss even more, about 20-30k loss compare to a 3k of petrol per year. So buy one you like and keep it as long as you could.

I would suggest Honda Jazz.

Good FC, reliable and better design than the rest. Mr. Green

ValiumZ SG

RX-8 is 2.6L , 1.3 x 2 , super heavy consumption....if you can push ur budget an extra 20k , WRX will be on ur hit list Smile

dcx SG

How good is the FC? I've been seeing quite a number praising for its FC...

How reliable? In terms of? Comparison with? Mr. Green

Some says Swift looks better than Fit/Jazz

pte-ltd SG

Actually, why are you asking me that question? Mr. Green

sounds familiar?????

I've had friends who have managed to get up to 14 on their jazz..

Amongst the hatchbacks I would suggest Fit or Swift manuals..

If boot space is a concern then it would prolly be the Vios or Altis from the list. Not in list would be the City.

FC is all in ur right foot. My AT Vios getting 14km/l without really trying. But do get a manual if you are serious about saving the planet and your wallet Laughing

Go test drive to see which handles the way you like. Go test drive to find out which you like sitting in. If you prolly gonna be ahmad to ppl often, bring the most likely passengers along for a test drive to see which they like sitting in.

You can get very very good FC by driving in a constipated way. All the above in your shortlist would prolly give you pretty good FC. Just stay clear of CVT transmissions. They might give you that extra km or 2 for that litre of petrol, but they are not as hardy as a normal auto transmission, much less a manual. Keep these in mind and I think you would be alright I think.

Have fun!

nOrmalbOi SG
