regarding yung question on kung maayos ba sa mpv, para sa akin maayos naman. pero kung fully loaded at matarik, medyo mappwersa talaga but it can still do the job.
in our gen 1 ertiga (1.4L), nakaka 13km/l pag out of town trips fully loaded. kasama na ung ikot ikot sa lugar at metro traffic palabas at pauwi ng metro manila. city driving na mostly ako lang, ave. is 8.5km/l.
yung xpander does better. at least 9km/l sa city with 3 occupants + school bags and a lot of waiting. haven't brought it out sa mahabang road trip yet.
in terms of fuel efficiency, the MPVs seem to do better than the SUVs. baka sa weight or how they are mostly driven.
