But im still hoping FC will get better after 1st pms of 7.5k.

Halos 1.5k palang kasi din odo ko. Sana mag improve habang tumataas pa mileage.

Ang sama pa rin ng FC ng Rio owners ah. Kahit pa sabihing break-in period, hindi naman sobrang laki ng iniimprove ng FC after 10000 KM. Even if you guys steadily get 8 km/L in the city, that's still bad for a 1.4L subcompact (na hindi naman kalakasan ang makina). Hopefully hindi talaga ganyan yung Rio and may fix para diyan. Sayang naman eh.

so far am monitoring this forum to see if there is a fuel efficiency improvement, the car is nice feature set and all but if the FC is even worse then my 98 RAV4 4x4 that's wouldn't be good at all. I did a re-test for 1 month of my RAV's FC, it's currently hitting 6.7 to 8KM/L city driving.

Pero diba the 1,4L in the Rio is the same Gamma engine found in the Accent 1.4? Wonder why the Accent is faring better? Maybe its the tranny kasi 4 speed lang? While competitors are sporting 5 and 6 speeds...

How about the manual any news on its FC? Yun nga eh ang ganda talaga specs ng Rio sobrang loaded talaga ng specs and nice pricing pero the FC is a killer. Yung best sa Rio halos hatawan at aggressive driving sa city na sa Fiesta eh hehe

Probably the transmission. 4AT plus small engine... not a good combo.

I wonder, though... is the Rio heavier than the Accent? Certainly feels better insulated.

To all kia Rio Hatchback owners. Na-try nyo na ba ireport itong fc problem sa mismong mga Kia branches na pinagkunan ng sasakyan nyo? Or magask to any Kia engineers? I think yun ang saktong ginawa ni Mr. Cyberian. I really hope maging okay na fc ng Rio. Sobrang nkakapanghinayang kung hindi magimprove. Ganda ng features compare sa mga counter-part na sasakyan.

What's weird for me is that the Accent 1.4 GL AT also sports the same drivetrain but many users are reporting FC in the 9 km/L range for city driving.

Spec sheets report that the Rio weighs about as much as the Accent, and when I drove the Rio, it certainly didn't feel like the engine was having a hard time pulling the body.

Yet here we are faced with the enigma of the Rio's dismal FC...

Sinabi ko one time sa SA ko kasi nagtatanong ng referrals. Sabi ko wala, hirap magrecommend ng sasakyan ng malakas sa gas eh. Tas nagulat siya, sabi sa akin yun iba daw na kumuha sa kanila sabi matipid DAW

Tas sabi ng SA ko, try daw petron kasi matipid daw, alam ko malabo ito but i gave her the benefit of the doubt.

Then sinubukan ko xcs, ganun din naman hahaha! :twak:

Pansin ko kasi sa engine, pag binitawan ko yun accelerator, hindi agad bumababa yun rpm. Hindi katulad ng iba, napagbitaw baba agad tas pagtapak mo tataas ulit.

Sinubukas ko sa iba namin sasakyan.. lets say travelling 80 kms * 2.5k rpm, pagbinitawan ko yun gas pedal, yun rpm bumababa ng 1k lang or less than pa nga eh. Sa rio kasi if travelling 80 kms * same rpm, pagbitaw ng gas pedal, magstay talaga yun rpm dun. So pag downhill yun kalsada, mataas parin rpm kahit hindi mo na tapak ang accelerator.

Pero hindi ko alam kung ito nga isa sa cause ng high fc ng rio. Observation ko lang sa engine ito
