Latio not as good as mention.....

[totallypatrick]

abt 1 yr 2 mths car - changed air con compressor and steering coupling yesterday. Before that have service my rear brakes (noisy) and air-con not cold. FC average 12.3/L on 17" with some mods. 50/50 city/highway driving. Used to be 14+ km/L on 16" but that is 70/30 highway/city driving and mine is 4AT

[car_man]

guys please state CVT or 4AT. it seems 14 and above is only CVT... :)

Mine is 4AT but am getting 13.5 to 14 constantly with some heavy foot on every tank.Normally rev around 2.3k rpm.

[car_man]

Du you guys warm up in the morning and after parking for sometime before going OFF! Felt that latio car cool down very fast.

[Everince]

so far being driving my latio for about 3 year..still loving it...still an economy car as compare to many other...   btw, it good to warm up the car before u drive off every morning...

I thou warm up theory is for every old car or driver?

By any chance you're talking about me? I warm up the car going down the MSCP so I don't waste time and petrol.

I tried that b4 but feel the swifting of transmission gear from "P" to "D" abit stiff if not pre-warm up.. ! Worry maybe the auto gear transmission fluid need to warm up for smooth switft so still wait for 1-2 mins b4 move the car..

Yes. I realise sometimes during startup, the shifting from P to D is very stiff.. need to use some force to pull and engage.. anyone knows why?

Ya me too. Sometime it so hard that you will hear a tok sound when change from P to D. If we don't warm up in the morning, will the engine get louder as days go by?

I usually warm up my car till the blue icon is off being moving off, maybe this also contribute not a good FC for my car. 

[baobao]

I read from the tips book from TCM.. its better to warm up about 30sec before moving off..

CVT refers to manual version? Mine is 4AT version....anyway...now trying out on current tank...rev at 2000 or below....don't drive abt 90kph as above tat will cause rpm to go beyond 2000....let the car roll as much as possible...became one of those "idiots" on the highway tat drive slow and on or near right lane....contributed to the slow traffic which eventually might cause ERP charges to go up to ease the traffic...target is to achieve 300km at half tank.....will post results here once i finished this tank...

btw, tried the KPE this morning....quite nice to drive in...especially for drivers who like to have their car rolling to improve FC.....70 or less....

[Jo_Lee]

mine also 4AT...been getting 13 to 13.5km/l ever since my 5k servicing...never drop below 13km/l...
me consider not so light-footed...sometime rev up to 3K when overtaking..normal pickup after stop will rev to 2.5k..
highway speed always at 90 to 100km/h so rev shld be above 2k..

CVT = Continously Variable Transmission

please do everyone a favour - please do not be one of those who drive slow on the right lane (unless turning right at the next junction)

You know wat is the problem?? Left lane too slow, often need to brake and pick up speed again...so right lane is the best....can maintain cruising speed of 80kph....

Dun worry...I dun like pple to drive slow on the right most lane....usually...if i intend to roll my car...i will keep off the right lane...haha....

[Silver]

if on expressway, better to be on second lane (from right) if at 80 kph

I did get 16km/l during one of my trip to KL, that was with old toyo stock tire. Seldom touch 16km/l after changing tire. The 2008 new Latio also fit with the same toyo tire, guess the FC will be better with toyo tyre but I prefer safer wet tire even at the cost of FC. If you mainly drive aroud city and FC is very important to you can try Toyo tire next time.

Correct...those on your Petrol Savin Quest, please use the centre lane cos at 80-90km/h in a clear Highway really makes u like a total idiot

For those who sometimes experience gear shift difficulty from P, chances are because this is a safety feature as your car is not on parked on flat surface. this was told to my by TC tpy but i realise through experience it is somewhat true

[detach8]

mm time to bring my car to autosavers for ECU checkup... hmm
