I had a 2014 vios 1.3 Manual. Fuel economy goes to barely 8km/li for regular city driving. Makati traffic will yield barely 5km/li.

Flip side i still have a 2003 vios 1.5 AT. Fuel economy is 11km/li upwards. Vios from 2003-2016 both share the same NZ family engine.

3rd gen vios has a heavier body. Said to have an additional 50kgs from its predecessor kaya malakas sa gas. For people who had 1st or 2nd gen vios, the resounding complain is malakas sa gas ang 3rd gen. Even toyota acknowledges this thats why they brought in a new engine with cvt that is kinda better mated to the body.

Yun actually di ko magets sa Vios gen na yan.
Kung 50kgs heavier lang yung gross vehicle weight compared to before, parang isang small build adult lang yun e. Hindi dapat ganun kalaki naging effect sa performance/fc kung yun lang nagbago.

Hindi pwedeng sabihin na sa weight lang yung reason ng penalty kung 50kgs difference. Malabo din dahil sa air resistance kasi below 60kph naman city driving.

Mechanical tuning siguru nung sinalpak nila sa 3rd gen body or may losses dahil humaba siya ng kaunti?

Parang anlabo talaga nung nangyari in that gen. Same sa 2008/2009 atlis na single vvti. Tumakaw din from first gen altis compared nung year 2001. Lumaki din body nung altis nun compared to previous gen, pero iba talaga tuning nila dahil yung response ng makina to throttle inputs parang humina tlga. Maybe due to emission standards na humigpit. Sinakal nila yung makina.
