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 I can afford fit, i can also afford rio. but i went for rio instead. btw, its no guarantee that fit can hit 17km/litre. try googling for shc (singapore honda club) forum and most mentioned only 15km/litre. my rio is 14km/litre and i'm not complaining.

Yo bro,
many tks for the exchange of opinion. In fact, Last Sat, I will at the leng kee show-room looking at 1.4M sedan. My bro-in-law engage me as a "consultant" to get a budget car. Without hesitation, I recommend cerato bcos that is what I am driving. But being cost conscious, he wanted a picanto. But after sitting in the car, it looks very "cartoon". So the next choice is rio 1.4M.
SE quoted @ 40K but have to wait for 2-3 months shipment. package include reverse sensors, central lock alarm and DVD (only for last weekends). However no solar film protection and steel rim. Any bro/sis out there can recommend a better SE who can offers better deals?
Appreciate your assistance and feedbacks.

hello fellow rioster
my fren just bought a rio, so i came here to "kaypoh". i myself is driving a jap car (nissan latio), and this FC debate, i think goes around every forum is the same. some latio drivers have reported as bad as a consistent 10.5km/l, some even hit 17km/l.
but in the end of the day a lot never observe proper way to measure FC. if you measure during each tank pump, it will never be accurate. fuel expand like nobody business. on a hot day, the tank meter rises. on a cold day, it drop. if you pump fuel on a cold day, you also get more fuel from the kiosk. if you park on slope, the tank level also change.
the best way to state your fc is to keep track of your main mileage (odometer, not trip meter) and sum up all the petrol you ever pump. and you will see your real vehicle's lifetime FC...
and when mentioning FC also state the following information so bros and sis can get the correct idea of your usage pattern:
1. footing: light/heavy 2. idling: often/seldom 3. aircon: xx% of time 4. time of day: day (hot)/night (cool) 5. traffic: heavy/light 6. travel: xx% highway, xx% city 7. pax: xx persons 8. other load: xx kg 9. spare tyre: yes/no
cheers!

Bro, could the informations given formulate an analysis to the FC of the cars?? If not, it seems not objective as all informations given didn't comes with an answer. so why bother to details when nothing constructive could be achieve. Here, i believe are mere rioster given information to their car peformance and opinion. All opinion differs and all information given are absolute individual. Taking it with a pinch of salt, visitor and members would be at their own discretion to formulate their opinion to the ride. No offence bro, but speaking it openly only. Rio Rides....

My 5 cents worth:-
I was contemplating getting a Honda FIT 8 months ago. For the same feature, I had to pay $650 per month for installation. This versus a KIA RIO for $400/- per month.
The saving of $250/- can go easily into buying fuel. For times that I dont used the car, I am not paying for non-usage. $250/- can buy me a whole month petrol if I used everyday.
One more thing, no worry on people car jacking my ride.

ha no office dont worry the reason i say so is because anyone can say they got 18km/l, but if that guy is light footed, travel 95% expressway at 12 midnight where air is cool and denser, of course this is a no basis of comparison for somebody who got 10km/l, drive on jam expressway to work at CBD everyday. so when mentioning FC, it is very crucial to understand the reason why other getting good or bad FC. arguably a bad FC can be a sign of engine problem or bad ECU setup, but without a basis of comparison, blatantly shouting out FC for "hao lian" purposes is no use... cheers!
