my auto fc is ard 11km/l... nothing fantastic... but if u light footed...shd be still alrite...
come to think of it... here is my calculation for a good fc car like Honda Jazz vs rio..of course it is based on fc vs petrol price (dun include value of car lah)
Imagine a 5 yrs Drive.... for a Jazz $58k & Rio $41k (1.4L A) - difference of $17,000
Jazz: Avg 30000km in a year with 17km/L fc = estimated will consume 1765L of petrol. Then 1765L x $2.13/L petrol (singapore) = will spend $3760 each yr for petrol.
If 5 yrs drive: will spend total estimated $18,800 of petrol. _____________________________________________
Rio: Avg 30000km in a year with 10km/L fc = estimated will consume 3000L of petrol. Then 3000L x $2.13/L petrol (singapore) = will spend $6390 each yr for petrol.
If 5 yrs drive: will spend total estimated $31,950.00 of petrol. _______________________________________________
so if i take $31,950 (Rio) - $18,800 (Jazz) = Jazz will save on $13,150 on petrol as compare to Rio in total 5 yrs.
But if i to take that Jazz is more expensive at $17,000 more than Rio..then i would rather get Rio...coz
Jazz = $58k + $18,800 (petrol) = total spend $76,800 Rio = $41k + $31, 950 (petrol) - total spend $$72,950 * above is based on fc vs petrol price only....

Are you sure Kia Rio FC is only 11km/l ?? heard from reviews that it has a good FC somewhere around 13 to 14km/l. I'm actually thinking what to buy Jazz or Rio, pls help guys....me confuse here, i will average about 1800km per month, so based on that how ?

Hmmm......if this is the case....then isnt it better to get a jazz? cos if u sell off a jazz 5 yrs later , u will definitely get 4k more than wad u get out of selling a rio....

It all depends on your bargaining power/ skill & how well you took care of your ride lah... Kia's ride can also get fairly good price.. Hmmm......if this is the case....then isnt it better to get a jazz? cos if u sell off a jazz 5 yrs later , u will definitely get 4k more than wad u get out of selling a rio....

hmmmm well i dun know... a 3yr old jazz is selling at aprox. 40k in the 2nd hand market while a 3yr old rio is seling at approx 27k. its quite clear that jazz is a better buy in the long run giving the kind of savings will get outta its good FC.... not to mention jazz is a much more refine car compared to rio... However, its the pitch of paying a (much much much) higher mthly installment tht is holding everyone back....and im one of them

sigh................................................ FC topic again and again.
ok, let me share now.
Me driving a 1.4M and FC is average of 14-15km/l. Many many question will be post to heavy footed, ligth footed, modification and etc.........
you should decide after testing both the car first, then decide by reading into the review and posting in the forum.
Make a good B&W calcualtion of your costing in 5 years. factoring the interest into it to ensure calculation is as close as possible. With all that figures in place, you should be able to decide there and then your best choice to your own preference and liking.
Rio rides.....

ha ha brother everein Same old topic brought to life. Now it a new thread to talk and debate till the moon and sun cycle decide to end. Then fade into the mist and disappear. Then then, another post of thread again and the cycle repeats. what a vicious cycle, ha ha ha. Typically, i believe most rioster can do average of 14km regardless of 1.4 or 1.6 and it still convincing to me that Rio really had a good FC. If you look into newspaper and sg. caramart. yuo would see very little Rio for sales as compare to other type of korean vehicle or even jap. vehicle. It still a very good car to drive, upkeep, enjoy and most important FC. Rio rides.....

sales talk always said this good and that good.. FC wise really depend on individual driving style la.. journeyt condition. as sid.. average for Rio for auto is 10 - 12km and manual can achieve up to 14-15km and again.. all these subject to many many factor..
think most importance to decide which ride depend on yoru budget per month per year for yoru desire ride.. believed all bros here will wan BMW if we can afford.. so down the road it depend on one budget..

i'm driving a 1.4m/hb well most of u here noe how heavy footed i am so guy i can get 11km/l so think abt ur foot n driving style of cuz jazz have higher fc but price oso higher. btw if i didnt rmb wrongly jazz is actually lighter n small in term of shoulder to shoulder... so is the buyer choice n tis is all the info we can give to u le... so consider urself... last but nt least our car is damn heavy... try comparing jazz n rio when u open n close the door... rio sound much nicer...

11km/l is really good considering the way you drive.
as to the nice sound of the door opening and closing, i remember last week i almost couldn't open my door because the car parked under the sun too long(really hot day), then the rubber like sticking....haha..now okay liao....

True Bro Alson118 It's truly a never ending story. It might heighten up greater if Fuel price continue to shoot higher and higher. Then our discussion over this topic will be on high alert. ha ha. Think i agree if can sping clean. so many thread and pages to flip. Flip also blur already. Rio Rides again.....
