Speaking of batteries, my battery conked out the second time this month. Unlike last time though, it was completely drained this time around. Thankfully a random Escape passing by was nice enough to let me use my jumper cables on his car. Hassle pag automatic tapos push-button.

I was just on the side of the road with my hazard lights on, waiting for my companions. I fell asleep for about half an hour, and left the hazard lights on. When I tried to start the engine, wala na. My battery's less than 2 years old, but it probably needs replacement

how the performance?
Fuel efficiency?

thanks!
Performance is adequate (powerful enough for strutting about in the city, and could take on highway speeds easily). I don't have first hand info on fuel efficiency but a lot of Altis 1.6 AT owners get over 9 km/L. Main selling point of the Altis is that it's really comfortable and provides you with worry-free ownership.
