Let's hope it's as efficient as Skyactiv engines. The Vitara thread should give you a better idea on its FC, sir!

From this review:

"During this drive to La Union, it averaged an 18.87 km/L figure (average speed of 52 km/h)."

First Drive: 218 Suzuki Vitara GLX | Philippine Car News, Car Reviews & Prices | ************

M3 1.5L Mown3rs can probably give some FC numbers.

The 2018 Vitara along with 2018 Subaru XV were my options last year. All of sudden I changed my mind and went for the beautiful M3. Like what sir travajante said, I just followed my heart [emoji16]

Mazda 3 is better to drive than the Suzuki Vitara ... Suzuki Vitara is more practical than the Mazda 3 ...

FC is probably your top priority. Other priorities might be ride comfort, ground clearance (which the Vitara and other SUVs have an advantage).

I use my M3 2.0L as my daily 60km drive, a replacement to the 10yo M3 1.6L. After the 3rd full fill up, my new M3 is giving better FC stats compared to the old M3. Fuel cost wise (with the exception of the higher fuel price recently), there's no huge difference between my old and new M3. I could have opted for the M3 1.5L for practicality/better FC but I just went for what I really wanted.

Hmmmn, looks like i really have to schedule a test drive. Im curious with Mazda's tagline of jinba ittai, if the horse and rider really feels as one?.

Our 1st Mazda, a Sky 3, got us hooked. It's not uncommon to see family stables w/ more than 1 Mazda.
