All New 2013 Toyota Vios (3rd Gen)

[jut703]

Got 12.03 km/L with my last fill-up in mixed driving (70% highway-30% city).

Earlier after filling up, I was averaging 15-16 km/L in NLEX traveling at 100-140 kph. But when I hit A. Bonifacio I was stuck in traffic for over 2 hours until Dasma. That was less than 20 km but I consumed the same fuel as my trip from Pampanga-Balintawak. So I assume right now I'm at 10-11 km/L.

One more thing I noticed, the 1.3 is just merely adequate for highway driving, even with only 1 passenger.

Reaching triple digit speeds is possible but at a sedate rate. If you're traveling at 90 already and need to overtake at 120, you'll need to kick down to 3rd gear and floor the pedal just to get any sense of acceleration. And mind you, that acceleration is still nowhere near a 2-liter at half throttle.

Then again, most people never even drive that fast.

anyone finds the suspension of the vios a bit stiff? been driving a 1.3E for the week, and I can feel every road imperfection and its jarring.

from where are you coming from, sir? a rolls? heh heh.
check your tire pressures, sir.
i suspect they're over-inflated.

On the contrary, I find the Vios' suspension to be pretty well-sorted.

I've driven all generations of the Vios and City and this one is better than all its predecessors. Not too soft (like the Accent) but not too stiff either. The damping and rebound is also good, unlike the GM City which felt very crashy.

Cabin isn't floaty and so it feels fine at high speeds too (unfortunately it's the engine that gives up first), though it's still very susceptible to crosswinds from trucks and buses especially with the skinny 185 tires.

I use 91 ron (fuel save and silver) and all of my vehicles runs very well on caltex and shell. 91 ron from petron knocks the engine.

try 95 RON and see what happens..
