what is the most fuel efficient small car

[rollyic]

mga sir, ibebenta ko na kasi yung 10 yrs old car namin.
gusto kong bumili na lang ng small cars (i.e. picanto, celerio, i10, etc.).
main reason...fuel efficiency at less problems.

hindi na kasi practical to own older cars...matakaw na sa maintenance, medyo matakaw pa sa gas.

i need your inputs...maraming salamat in advance!

The Alto. Capable of 15-17 km/l in the city, and 30 on the highway.


Oh, you want something nice?

The Celerio is probably the best at the moment, It can nearly match the Alto in the city, and is better on the highway thanks to the aerodynamics. The i10 is great in MT form, but just okay in AT. I am generally satisfied with the AT economy, but some city users complain.

There's a new Picanto coming, and it'll have a small 3 cylinder like the Celerio, which means it should be almost or just as good as the Celerio, but it'll probably cost more.



With your budget, you cat get a secondhand 1.3 MT Honda City that will be as good as or better than many of see cars in terms of fuel efficiency. For 500k, you can probably get one of the last-run Second generation cars with some warranty left. And it will have much more room to boot.

The Celerio's a good pick. Space is okay, not much to expect though. Interior plastics are intact, doesn't feel cheap at all ( - unlike the Alto )

Not sure though about Suzuki's after sales, they say it's below average. Dunno.

kailan po ba lalabas yung bagong picanto?

2nd hand Honda City na lang para medyo mas malaki interior mo at mas may dating. Matipid din naman talaga yan basta learn to control the urge to rezzing.

mga sir, how about SPARK?
is that a good buy?

[rambo149]

feedback sa jazz or QQchery etc mukhang mas efficient den sila :D

The Picanto is here. Pricing for the MT is around 540-550k yata, from what friends tell me.

For what the QQ costs, I'd rather get the Alto. It's uglier outside, uglier inside and the plastics on the Alto look like half-melted crayolas, but the build quality is better and the engine and suspension are better, too.

The Spark... don't know yet, the old one wasn't that great, except in terms of economy... since it was essentially a decade old Daewoo Matiz dressed up as a Chevy... which meant you were getting a QQ-level or Alto-level car for Picanto prices. But this new one seems closer in terms of size to the Picanto-i10-Celerio brigade, and the interior is much improved over the old one (still not 100% sure I like the seats, but I will get a chance for a one-week evaluation next month). No word on test units for the Picanto, yet, though.

I'd suggest you get the new Picanto. The looks are really good, a very big improvement from its predecessor. The engine may not be especially powerful, but it should be good enough for the everyday commute and occasional out of town trips.

I bought a new Spark 4 years ago and I would give it a grade of 75, which means pasang awa. The car handles well and really fuel efficient. It is quiet and rides comfortably with 5 people inside. the passenger seat at the back does not feel cramped. It has enough power to go fast and climb marcos highway going to bagiuio without problems. Now the downside...1. parts are expensive. 2. The weakest part and common problem with Spark is the clutch. Only after 1 year of use, I already had to replace the clutch cable. 2 years after I had to replace the clutch plates. 3 After sales service is hell!!!! I once complained about some sound coming from under chasis and it took 3 trips to the casa and some pressure coming from me to do a complete search for it. It seemed like the mechanics are amateurs. AFter 4 years, I have replaced the whole clutch system but otherwise, the car is doing fine and running in perfect condition. So you better think twice before buying this car specially the after sales service they provide which is really really poor

kasya po ba ang 6 footer na lalaki sa hyundai i10??????

[nic]

14km/L city driving, Celerio A/T.

Buhayin ko lang ulit.

If an AT can do 14km/l, ilan kaya sa manual?
What about Hyundai Getz?

Looking for a small car pang hatid sa school. Thanks

[1D4LV]

on the most fuel efficient small car. i would have to agree on the celerio. a friend who owns one, drove from las pinas to pagudpod, using only one full tank... may sobra pa daw na onti pagdating dun.

kung gusto mo ng may trunk.... vios. two weeks ago... we drove from makati to masinloc, zambales... consumed only around 1/2 tank, one way.

A fuel efficient car may not have the smallest engine. It's a combination of factors, like road conditions, driving habits, traffic situation, etc.
