Pero maganda itsura ng rio hatch. It's not the usual hatchback you see everyday. ;)

From my POV, malaki ang psychological effect din kasi yung roof height ng Jazz.. Anyway.. sukatin na lang yung width ng interior ng back seat.. Tama ba, sukatin ang end to end ng seat?

Btw, kapag sanay ka mag maneuver sa Jazz, maninibago ka sa Rio kasi mas malaki turning radius ng Rio hehe.. Mali mali nga tancha ko sa parking eh haha kasi nasanay ako sa Jazz ng utol ko.

Ang nalagay ko kasi ngayon is V-Power kasi di ko pa nabasa mabuti yung manual.. pero mostlikely lilipat ako to XCS.. di kailangan 97 octane eh

as of now based sa reading ng Rio ko paguwi ko nasa 11.8L/100km so that's around 8.3 to 8.4km/L..
Ito history ng biyahe ko right after magpafull tank:
- Naipit kagad sa traffic sa banawe q.ave papuntang morato
- tapos pauwi ng manila
- manila-greenhills-manila
- manila-alabang daang hari-manila via SLEX
- manila-sucat via macapagal - manila via Skyway (Cruise Control Mode! Haha)

friday afternoon ko nalabas sa Casa yung car.. from 15km starting.. ngayon nasa 200km na ODO ko hahaha

8km/L is already fine in mix driving. Sabi nila titipid pa raw yan when you reach 800km to 1000km sa ODO. Will also get a kia rio hatch.
:D
Thanks sir chua_allan for sharing.

nice... mukhang matipid nga... talagang fresh yung unit at 15km initial reading... mas mahaba ata yang rio sa jazz eh.. kaya maninibago ka sa pag estimate ng car dimensions while parking

Nahilo nga ako sa sobrang tapang ng amoy bago eh haha..

Post ko manual computation ng FC ko after ko magpafull tank ulit.

Isa pang comment ko sa Rio. Pangit ng busina haha.. nakaksira ng porma haha

im currently contemplating to buy this new rio hatchback, but my wife is leaning to hona city 2012 1.5 variant. the main reason of her buying a honda, is resale value, and realibilty of honda brand compare to kia. what will i do to convince her to buy the new rio hathback ex???? what is the main advantage of rio? thanks in advance

Talaga naman hanggang ngayon andyan parin yung "resale value" ng Honda.

Main advantage of Rio? Longer warranty. More features. Better appearance.

How about let her drive the Rio? There is still a chance she might change her mind. If not, go with the City. Let the boss decide
