question for the CX7 (about to order one)

[111prez]

What ?!?! 6-7kms per 100 liters of gasoline ?

yep, not kidding. its about 13-14km/L. this is far though from the claimed 18km/L posted in mazda makati and as certified by the DOE fuel economy run test certificate they got

but the caveat though is that this is on conservative driving (i.e. not on race mode) and on an on/off cruise control mode. did this on the skyway and sctex

however, the temptationto go faster is really there, nyahahahaha

Mali nga ata talo pa ata Vios sa fuel economy kung ganun... Baka kulang ng 1 sa left side yung 6 and 7 per 100km nya

pag open road (i.e. skyway/sctex highway), kaya

pero, pag city lang, then tama ka at medyo dadagan mo ng 1 sa left side. but then again, it all depends on the average speed

hahaha tama! kahit ako naguluhan ako dito. hahaha!


15kph? nagkotse ka pa... sayang naman yan. talo pa ako sa pagiging slow driver lagi.
open roads / highway driving tapos 6-7km/l? i do believe it really IS a gas guzzler... pano pa kaya kung naging city driving yan? i think the others like the rav4 would give a slightly better economy than this results.
ang defect naman or ang may defect naman para sakin na nakita ko dito was yung designer. ok na sana front eh kaso yung likod sobrang dull...

Well, 6-7kms/100L is bad.

That means per 100 liters of gas you consume, you only travel 7 kilometers at most !??!

Baka naman 7km/L not 7km/100L

They're 2 different things. Hehe.

does anyone have the dealer installed GPS?

7km/liter is reasonable in traffic.

btw, just wondering, if people are complaning that the rear seats are cramped, which mini suv has the best rear legroom?

which 2 colors are the most common there in manila?

[111prez]

I am comparing the FC to other small SUVs. Given it will only get 6-8 km/L in city driving, it can be a major consideration. At a time with gas prices going to break P60/L, it has to be a consideration.

on this point i agree. at an average speed of about 15kph or less, the fc is indeed 6.5km/L or less. sometimes i even register a bad 5km/L

that is why going around the CBD, i am very happy with the manual getz. great FC, hehehehe

but, if i have to go say beyond makati and pass through edsa or c5, i will bring the 7. take me to the skyway and i will drive the 7 without a doubt. the key for me is the average speed i can do

Depends on the unit if it already comes with GPS.

7km/liter is reasonable in traffic.

That's on a good day. Achieving that in the rush hours would be quite difficult. Expect reducing that number by 1 or 2 km/L.

btw, just wondering, if people are complaning that the rear seats are cramped, which mini suv has the best rear legroom?

Honda CRV
Hyundai Tucson
Nissan X-Trail
Mitsubishi ASX

which 2 colors are the most common there in manila?

The more common colors are white, silver/grey and black.

*ghosthunter....

are you enumerating the colors by rank? white being the most popular and red the least?

No ranking. Just saying that neutral colors are popular in Manila.

BTW, I never mentioned the color red... where did you get that?
