I bet you wouldn't believe it...just pump my petrol last night...distance travelled from last full tank = 659km, petrol pump = 40.52L..that work out to be 16.26km per litre or 6.15L per 100km...with abt 80% highway driving. This is by far my best FC among the six full tank pump..average of 6 full tank pump works out to 14.13km per litre..
�Congrats..

I think the record was 744km per tank clocked by another bro here.....
Hi all, newbie here .. my first new car .. booked last week and supposed this week coe is the first bidding week.. if the ad did submit a bid i shld be able to see it in https://ocoe.lta.gov.sg ?

Yep type ur I/C number can c oredi
Your fuel consumption gets worse after run-in cos you tend to push the car harder lar... same for me... learning to rein in my right foot and get better fuel consumption.Just look at the windscreen properly if there is any tiny bubbles.
The fc will get worst as time goes by. I ever hit 6.8L/100km during run in. But now only 8.6L/100km.
There is no silent and grippy tyres. Grippy always comes with noise. But better grippy tyres have less noise. Can try Goodyear F1 A2 or Conti Sport Contact 5.
Booked a slot with Ace gt. Ceremic pro 9h
Anybody else has this issue? The nexan tyres can cause mini vibrations ah
Okay, cool. Keep us posted. :)

It's the gearbox. CvtI notice the RPM is higher on K3 compare to Vezel when driving, on cruising around 80KM/H K3 is around 2 while Vezel is 1.3 and when I pick up speed/changing gear its hitting 3 while Vezel is at most 2/2.5. This should account for the higher FC? If we adjust the idling RPM will it impact the drive/power?
My Rikecool bubbled after 1 week, went back, they 'fixed' for me....hopefully it wont happen again. Attitude wise they r ok but I guess some bros r rite here on choosing other options for solar film
It's the gearing ratios. To save fuel, the top gear ratio can be geared higher (in this case 6th gear). This means that at cruising speeds, the RPM is lower and fuel is saved. But it also means that the gear ratios between the 1st to 6th would be quite widely spaced out. And that would mean that pick up is poor. The total or final gearing ratios are a function of engine power, and the manufacturers can only play around with the spacing between gears, and so with only 129 bhp on tap for the Vezel, you can't expect tall fuel saving gearing on 6th gear and good pick up through the first five gears. Some manufacturers try to 'cheat' by spacing out the gearing differently by gearing the first two or three gears closer for better pick up but it usually results in a flat spot for 4th and 5th gears. Which means that when you need to overtake a cruising speeds, you find that the car is rather unresponsive and the RPM climbs sky high yet the car isn't really accelerating much.I notice the RPM is higher on K3 compare to Vezel when driving, on cruising around 80KM/H K3 is around 2 while Vezel is 1.3 and when I pick up speed/changing gear its hitting 3 while Vezel is at most 2/2.5.

Basically for all 1.6 L cars, the engine power is limited to 130 bhp now, all of them will drive similarly... how fast you can pick up depends on the gearing ratios and how prepared you are to step on it. If you check out the gearing ratios for a set of Japanese and Korean and Continental 1.6 L engines, they're all within a certain ballpark.... can't run away from the physics.

Thanks for the reply....I m a manual car person hahaha.....so its always under my control.....this is what I like abt manual car....guess old man hv to change with times....all auto car these days
Yup. The first bid my SE placed for me was quite near the final result. He made 2 revisions after that and I managed to secure it.This round COE jumped $6000 right? Still can get your COE? Wow!!! Next round prices are really going to jump... let's see the papers on Sat... sweat...

Edited by Tianz16, 09 June 2016 - 12:49 PM.
Eurostyle, solar film and thinkware dash cam. My SE wanted to give me PPS also but eventually can't cos I did overtrade. Something about the company has to pay extra for overtrade or something so can't give me the PPS.ohh what freebies did you managed to get from them?
The 1.6l cars I drove previously also rpm 2-2500 at 80kmh.. so k3 abt there.. bezel 1300rpm at 80kmh? Seems very low..I would presume bigger capacity cars only rev lower at this rpm/speed bec their engine capacity is bigger.. rpm when revving will be high, depends on your footing.. Mine abt 2.5k before auto trans change gears.. I wouldn't take too much notice of the rpm or fuel consumption, just enjoy the ride...
�
I would think so too, mine is also around there. 1300 sounds quite low for a 1.5L Vezel... anyway FC wise should not be a big difference.

Their PPS is not good anyway. Better do it outside.
Yeah that is what I am planning to do. Pay a little more but get a better quality. Thinking of doing ceramic pro 9h.Their PPS is not good anyway. Better do it outside.
anyone can share what is the process like after the bidding is successful ?�

�
Am not too sure yet, but I have a habit of not washing my car regularly (for the current one) so I figured doing coating will be good to maintain the paintwork and prevent it from becoming dull looking. Did you do coating for your car?
all these coating, need to go back regularly to touch up? how often would you need to go back to workshop
I did CS-2 and "touch up" is not necessary. Just normal washing will do. Done CS2 for 2 weeks now , so far so good. Excellent hydrophobic and gloss and car does not gets dirty easily. Only washed once in 2 weeks. After rain there's no water marks and dirt.
Just chanced upon a interesting post and share here.

That depends also on how often you wash your car.If have budget, go for ceramic pro 9h. Mine was on it since 2014 and still looks as great as day 1. Many has been giving good comments and has shared on how the product has helped owners. Most importantly, they are not pushy to sell any packages.

1300 RPM for a 1.5 L non-turbo engine sounds wrong... doesn't have enough torque.I would think so too, mine is also around there. 1300 sounds quite low for a 1.5L Vezel... anyway FC wise should not be a big difference.

Used to be able to go ard 580km per tank, now around 480-490.

Yup! Mine. My SE told me head unit not in stocks. Can collect first then fix the head unit when I do my first servicing, but I asked when will the stocks arrive, he said end of the month. So likely I will collect the car first then when the HU is in at the end of the month, I will send back to fix.still clearing ma ? or the sales de tactic very good .. tell me last 2 or 3 that they have le when i booked with them..

About the stocks, my SE told me that the colour I want is the last unit left. Not sure if they still have plenty more stocks of the other colours.

More hdb surely will make a difference. also the way you drive as you get more and more used to the characteristics of the car also makes a difference.
�
after 1 year +, my driving style and confidence with this car is getting faster and faster, and yes the FC goes down to about 10/100km too. However when i take note to drive for better FC, i can go back the 7-8km / 100km i used to get.
lol i tried moderate, its stuck at ard 480 - 490. i just live with it lol

After PPS, dirt tends to stick less and car not so dirty. Only washed once a week at CS-2 for $15. Lazy to wash myself. But if self wash will be quite easy though due to its hydrophobic. I was told that PPS cannot come to contact with wax. It will deteriorate the coating. So no need to wax. The shine always come back after wash.

When will be a good time to go CS2 to wash? Long queue?
Best to go after 5pm. For me once I went at 3:30pm Long queue.When will be a good time to go CS2 to wash? Long queue?
It's not necessary to wax a PPS. It's 2 different things. PPS bonds to the paint surface but wax only lays on top without bonding. If u want to wax your car then not suitable to do PPS.If wax can deteriorate the coating, then the coating is not of good quality. Mad detailer, the resident detailing guru, will agree with this

yea, my prev ride i change the HU and was able to get the sub to come from front. now it comes from rear lol. But for that sake to get a processor, i think not worth the $$ and my ears not so sensitive for SQ :P

if u r using stock HU, there will be difference. Was told our HU do not support the cabling so they use hi-low converter unlike after market HU.

On top of this, if we run passive using the twitter at stock position, the sound are all deflected at the windscreen. With processor u can better "tune". If u wan better, u can change ur HU as it's the source.

Just installed Helix DSP with Director controller. After tuning by my audio shop, the SQ is superb! Different instruments clearly differentiated. Punchy and tight bass at the front. Sound stage at the centre dash. Good processor, no regrets. Totally one sky and one ground.
Stock honk is way too soft. Not that I like to honk but for safety reasons, you need a louder honk most of the time.

I also upgraded my previous Forte to Hella. Thinking of upgrading my current ride also.

I changed my stock horn to Borsch EC-6, after I search/compared a few horns & models. I always throw out stock horn - no damn good - compromise my safety and safety of fellow road users. Recommend this horn to you. Loud enough. No overkill. And low price. I saw avail AutoBacs S$50.00cts. For everybody's safety , this money you cannot don't spend

Sharing my first full tank FC, calculated from distance travelled and top up in fuel:
�
km/l = 13.7
l/km = 7.3 (7.5 shown in car)
�
Estimated 80% highway, and I think I have been quite lenient on the pedal.

Good? Bad? Comments?
My Borsch EC 6 I've used, delightfully, > one decade. Two tone hone. So two pcs. Easy: 1) Lift bonnet 2) Remove black plastic shroud between grill & radiator. 3) Put hand in & remove stock horn. 4) attach connectors & 1 more pc extension wire. 4) attach mount new horns
Can easy diy. But u got no tools, no short pc wire, no connectors. Any shop can do easy job. Not cost much.
What brand u buy u biz. But helpful hint: many dead drivers on the road cannot see cannot hear - use 2-tone horn is good for tone deaf zombies. But fair to everyone - just loud enough without jarring everyone else
need to put relay?

EC 6 no need relay. Our car already has a relay for horn. Does anyone where our horn is located? A bro says it's located in the grille but it's not. Saw on YouTube it's located inside the driver side wheel fender.need to put relay?

REUTERS: For the first time in 27 years, a nonluxury brand, Kia Motors, scored tops in the annual initial quality study of new vehicles sold in the United States by J.D. Power, the business consultancy said.
How reliable are the findings?Just read CNA business news and saw below headings "Luxury cars take back seat to Kia in JD Power quality study"

Not very useful to compare with different people unless you roughly know their driving profile. Someone who drives highway a lot will get much better FC than someone who drives in urban, even if you are heavy foot on the highway vs light foot in urban.
