fuel efficient lemon?

[badkuk]

did anyone happen to read the SpyBiz column on PhilStar today? the car in question is supposed to be the most fuel efficient car in the world -- which makes me suspect either the Jazz or the Matrix. The only other clue given is that CKD sya, not CBU.

that being said...pakiramdam ko he was referring to the Jazz; CBU ung Matrix di ba?

[BlueBimmer]

look at honda quality sucks thread, i think it is psylocke's city

[leinahtan]

Wait a second. How about the 1.1 carb picanto?

[BlueBimmer]

picanto is not CKD ata

[Mguy]

CBU yata ang Jazz. Straight from Thailand.

[badkuk]

the picanto never made any fuel efficiency claims. ung Jazz n Matrix lang ang nagyabang about it B)

carb pala ung picanto?

[Heretic]

What do you mean by CBU and CKD?

What "clues" and problems did the writer give? I'm interested with this newspiece since I'm a Hyundai Matrix owner.

Thanks!

actually me post si sir mazdamazda sa "Honda Quality Control Sucks" thread B) pero in brief, leaking roof, brake lines improperly fastened to car body, off center steering(veers to the right), noisy/squeaky step on the right rear passenger side

CKD - completely knocked down; some assembly required at local plant
CBU - completely built up; ready to run - just add gas

It's my City.

Honda advertises at the Star so City was not indicated.

Useless actually... :down:

What about those 3/4 page ads that says (paraphrase)

"The answer to high fuel prices is here"

It's for the Picanto. And no, the Kia isn't carbed.

[rbortega1981]

Honda City ung kotse na binabanggit sa Phil. Star

oooyah..forgot about that one. well, note they didn't say it was efficient. joke :D

badkuk:CKD - completely knocked down; some assembly required at local plant
CBU - completely built up; ready to run - just add gas

have to correct myself: pag CBU, kumpleto except for the tires, bumpers, etc. so di pala ready to run B)

Psylocke, any updates?

[SunTzu]

Wait a second. How about the 1.1 carb picanto?

correction, 1.1 EFI ang picanto.

[basti08]

if they dont get their act now psylocke,,, you better start look for ways to shake them harder! probably a more louder exposure of your lemon city in TV, if print media can't solve it.

[CLAVEL3699]

Media can expose' it in TV pero kailangan may proof at legitimate ang claims kung hindi libel ang katapat nyan,

Bro sorry to dissapoint you, but piccanto, i've seen one of the brochere of picanto it ses 2+km per lit. but in reality average consumption of picanto is 14 to 15km per lit. still not bad, but there is 7 to 10KM that was missing to their add.

20+ km/l driving *60kph max. which is feasible but not attainable anywhere here in Manila.
