    Mine's at 17.7liters/100km (3.8 a/t). Not bad na rin considering ang lakas rin sa gas nung rav4 ko before

    saan kayo nag-base, sa trip meter?

    minsan aabot yan ng 21L/100km hehehe. pero hindi naman accurate yan.

    when I drove my car from manila down south, I average 8km/L. this is base on my own measurement. the way i do it is i filled the tank full and list the total km's traveled. then compute how much liter i consumed for that particular distance. minsan nga umabot ako ng 9km/L.

    tama. sayang yong warranty pag hindi magamit.

    btw, my santa fe before experience the same problem and it takes a couple months before the moisture was totally gone. sana ganun din sa GC natin.

    *vavavaaal: Ma'am (tama po ba?), ok nga yung mileage nyo for a 3.8 liter engine. Yehey, weekend na! Hope to see you in subic! Wala pa akong nakikitang ibang GC sa daan except for the grey GC na nakasabay ko sa slex north-bound malapit sa bicutan exit last Tuesday night.

    *Ghost recon: yes sir, sa trip meter ko kinuha yung mileage ko, hindi pala accurate yun, hehe. I'll try the manual estimate, if your 3.8 can get 8-9km/li, siguro naman mas matipid pa dapat ang 2.0.

    *ghostrecon: yup sa trip meter ko binase. Pero i also do the manual computing. What i do is fill the tank until automatic and then reset trip a or b, then the next time i gas up also until automatic, i divide my km reading by the amount of gas i just filled.

    *Biglangliko: yup im a she sa ateneo, 2 na nakita ko, both red. Tapos i saw another white along katipunan. Btw, meron din moisture ung akin dati. I took it to the dealer and then may tinanggal sila na circular foam from each headlight. Nakalimutan daw tanggalin. Pero it didnt solve the problem agad, hinayaan ko nalang and then now wala na

    *bigboy09: If you're refering to the height sir, yes it's lower than a civic FD, kung sa ground clearance naman, mas mababa by about an inch pero Hindi pa naman ako sumasayad sa mga steep inclines (our driveway is 30 degrees), or sa mga humps.

    Pag sa steep inclines lagi ako nagkakamali umaangat ung one of my rear tires, tapos it makes a 'gasgas' sound. Takot tuloy ako palagI kala ko sumayad. Im still getting the hang of it.

    ohhh i see po,

    yikes!

    kaya mo yan sir!

    natatakot po ako if mangyari na 'gasgas' sound.

    okay lang po ba GC mo sir?
    no harm done?

    is it possible to lift the GC an inch higher?
    may suspension kit ba na ganun sir?

    Same experience sa driveway namin when I tried approaching sideways nung first day ng GC ko, nagulat nga ako kala ko kung ano yung grinding sound kaya I stopped halfway up the driveway at pagtingin ko the rear passenger tire was several inches off the ground!

    *bigboy09: after that initial experience, I approach inclines head on, hindi pa naman sumasayad yung chin so far.

    the first time this happened to me, i freaked out hahaha, kala ko sumayad na yung ilalim ng bumper ko, bumaba pa ako ng car para lang icheck yung harap, pero masasanay ka rin talaga hahaha, kaya pag mejo steep yung daanan, mejo bumebwelo na ako hahaha

    Woah hindi lang pala ako! Haha

    *bigboy: no harm done! it's just the sound the rear wheel makes if it's off the ground. Kinulit kulit ko pa ung daddy ko to check kung may scratch sa ilalim everytime that happened haha

    *hendrick: nangyari sakin un sa incline when you're coming from blue eagle gym going to som parking. Haha

    Experienced the same thing too. Seems like best approach to steep inclines is to approach it head on very carefully

    hmmm, i see i see.

    is the GC's vertical clearance from the ground the same as bmw's?
    just trying to compare and weigh the different "kotses'' in the market.
    para may gauge lang ako.
    takot kasi ako sa mga humps dito sa atin eh, lalong lalo sa mga treacherous and indispensable pot holes we have here.
    better be safe in the earliest, possible way, than be sorry for yourself when all is said and done, e.g getting your beloved GC scratched perhaps?

    to all GC owners:
    i would like to congratulate you all and to the FUTURE owners of GCs.


    lastly,
    did anybody try changing their suspensions? like, lift them an inch or two?
    is it even available in the market?
    is it possible po ba?

    *bigboy09: I suppose you can always change the springs to taller ones, but that would kinda defeat the entire purpose of driving a sports car. Most likely GC owners would even lower the car for "porma" purposes or to further improve handling, which is quite excellent already. If you opt to get the GC, don't worry, it's pretty much usable as a daily drive, and can handle most of metro manila's streets.

    Guys, ngayon ko lang napansin nung sinilip ko yung underchassis, wala palang undercoating ang GC ko (2.0t entry)! Yung sa inyo ba meron???

    *vavavaaal: yeah, usually kasama dapat yun sa rustproofing eh. I was just in such a hurry to drive the car out of the dealership I didn't bother to check that thoroughly and I wasn't paying attention to the pre-delivery briefing sa excitement ko hehe. So normal lang pala na walang undercoat, kala ko baka nakalimutan lang

    Has anyone tried using ordinary unleaded e10? The owner's manual says it's ok to use 10percent ethanol, but I was hoping to get some feedback first before I try it. I've been using Blaze since day 1. Thanks
