14 km/L for Kelisa - Bad?

[Ice34_y2k]

sure u wanna rush in and change 2 auto under "force" circumstance??? dun regret hor... it's ur $$$, no one can force u... wat i'm trying 2 say is dat if u'r in no rush, Y force urself? anyway... a manual FC is always better then auto... think abt u if u'r so concern abt the FC... Kelisa is 1.1 rite? auto might nt have the power... juz my presumption... but would urge u 2 think carefully 1st...

Actually I never drove an auto car before. So can't help you there.

In all honesty, manual Kelisa is a better bet, and you save S$3K too. I have test driven both before.

 

Very difficult to rev below 3000rpm for auto Kelisa for adequate acceleration, unless you don't mind the driver behind you flashing his headlights or horning at you.

[Wbucket]

I though Auto up-shifted at a fixed (or around the same) rpm?

 

Anyway, at gear 4 (highest) 3000rpm, I think the car only moving at about 70km/h-80km/h.

[Vit4wd]

If you are lightfooted, auto trans will upshift at lower rpm, say 2000rpm.

 

If you are heavyfooted, it will upshift only at higher rom, eg. 4000rpm, or near redline.

 

For 1600cc auto cars, it can upshift even at 1800rpm - super economical if you are very lightfooted

wbucket,

ur kelisa posted in the hotstuff ?

i luv the blue kelisa with some white decay and black front.

its cool.

if not wrong, he got curtain inside rite ? install it in mls ? whts the cost ?

 

one more, voltage stable can help to slove enjin vibrate problem ?

Anyway, at gear 4 (highest) 3000rpm, I think the car only moving at about 70km/h-80km/h.

 

I believe @ gear 4 - 3000rpm shld b able 2 attain higher crusing speed due to the fact that Auto has got taller gearing ratio compared to Manual.

[Calibra]

means, same RPM,but the auto gear will move the car in higher speed ?

[Vit4wd]

Ya, I saw that ice blue (or is it ice green) Kelisa, very nice... but in fact all the Kelisas look very cool in the picture shot.

[Atlantis_boi]

Yes or put it this way, a normal 1.6L car, Manual Trans will cruise @ 100km/hr @ close to 3000rpm but an auto is abt 2200 ~ 2500rpm @ the same speed due to the wider & taller gear ratios in the Auto.

[Wbucket]

Bro, kelisa auto only have 4 gears, manual have 5. So unless they are sacrificing acceleration for speed, else the rpm for cruising would be higher for auto than for manual. Anyway, kelisa auto's rev at 90km/h need to higher than 3k rpm.

[Wbucket]

Mine is second row, far right.

 

Which blue? Light blue with white strips? That belongs to our founder. He got the whole car respray, light blue isn't a standard color. Curtains are from MY, but I heard them saying singapore got too.

 

VS, might solve vibration problem. Should be more notice-able for auto-tranmission kelisa (or most car for that matter). But I have not personnally tried it, so can't quote my experience. Will be fixing though, after I installed my voltage guage.

Kelisa rocks!!

[Qooo]

Kelisa is too small to be a safe car.

[Wbucket]

It is the driver, not the car.

[Qooo]

it's true, but you can't prevent some nuts from hitting you... like the case with the mazda test driver.

[Wbucket]

Then there are going to be other makes that would perform just as bad as kelisa. You would have to get a BMW to ensure safety. Apart from looks, do you have any evidence on how un-safe this little car is compared to the general cars around the same prices range?

I heard from someone that his Kelisa give him 14 km/L is this bad for a 1L car?

 

picanto give me only 9-13 km./L..

still not as good as compared to Kelisa..
