[Kyleng]

Hi Meadelx200,

 

2 more pieces of information that helped me decide. you might find it useful.

 

technical specs from nissan:

Hi KYleng,

 

Thanks for the link.

Will check it up.

 

COE just went up by about S$2k and Nissan up the same also.

Probably the best chance for good price this year will be after the next

COE (is it 16th or the 23rd?)where price is supposed to drop.

 

Anyway it seems I managed to see 1 Lafesta every other days.

Twice in Tampines Mall; a green & an orange.

IF a sunny get only 9km/l, so what's surprise if lafesta get 8km/l???

 

Bro, not all sunny get 9km/l. How come my sunny can get 12km/l??

[Dumb]

Ya not all sunny get 9km/l. My new sunny, between 1st and 2nd top up of petrol, I got 11.523 km/l. Looks like I will get better with 3rd top before I go for my 1st servicing at 1600 km.

Heavy foot ones will complain poor FC. If mostly city driving, sunny is not a good choice.

[Watwheels]

Funny how tis dumba** ppl want to drive as if like F1 driver and want to complain about lousy FC and blame it on the car.

 

Your FC sucks bcos u let your ego take over the wheel lah!

 

It has nothing to do with whether u'r driving in city or highway.

[Sunray]

Sorry, don't quite agree with you. I think FC definitely has to do with city/HW driving.

 

I guess sunny AT is not for those who want good pickup and power.

[Watwheels]

Sorry I was replying to the thread starter. Not talking abt sunny.

[Dumb]

Juz had my 3rd top up. Between 2nd and 3rd top up I got 13.636 km/l. That really surprised me after hearing so much negative comments. Now I am wondering whether to believe those comments. Not only that, I am also wondering whether to believe that FC will be better after break-in schedule!

Dumb, your new Nissan Sunny is Auto or Manual?

I believe you are on normal 50% city, 50% highway, with air-con ON, normal tyre pressure & all stock parts....

[Dumb]

Stock car, except for fully body kit and door visor from agent. Car is auto and about 60-70% hwy with air-con on.

[Sunray]

Wow, that's a very impressive FC for an auto sunny!

 

My best FC so far only 13.3km/l. Happen only twice in my 8+ mths ownership.

 

So sunny AT a "drinker" is a myth to you?

[7seater]

RP 5W20 engine oil, iridium spark plugs, k&n air filter, RON92 or 95.

 

Using 20 grade oil, safe against engine wear? Very thin oil.

[Zizou]

tot latio supposed to have very good fc?

 

FC is Nissan's forever pain

[Quantum]

Recently Nissan FC has some improvement e.g Latio, but not so stable, sunny is a example, some guy can claim 15km/l, but another guy only 9km/l

FC is Nissan's forever pain

 

My former car was a pre-FL Nissan Sunny 1.6 Manual. FC was about 9km/L to 10km/L. Sometimes the FC even dropped to 8 km/L! I am a light footed driver and have only gotten 11km/L on 2 occasions when I had the car. The FC is similar to that of a 2.0L car. And the car feels really underpowered. I heard that the FC for the 1.6 Auto is even worse!

 

I am now driving a Nissan Sylphy 2.0L. This car uses the same MR20DE engine as the Nissan Lafesta MPV, but has been detuned slightly so that the max. BHP output is less. FC so far is about 8km/L to 10km/L. From the Nissan S'pore owners forum, some Sylphy 2.0L owners have reported the FC around 10km/L to 11+ km/L while the Sylphy 1.5L model has better FC of around 11km/L to 14km/L. For the Lafesta, obviously the FC would be slightly higher as the body is heavier than the Sylphy.

 

Nissan has made some improvements to their engines and the latest 1.5L engines used in the Latio Sedan/Latio Sports/Sylphy demonstrate better FC than the older 1.6L Nissan engines used in the Sunny.

If your pre-FL Nissan Sunny 1.6 Manual FC is 9km/L to 10km/L, it is realy extreamly bad FC , surely the engine got some problem, actually you should highlight this point when you was doning servicing, they would do fine tuning your engine, the FC will improve obviously

[Sunray]

My friend had tuned his ECU.

 

He's driving an auto FL sunny. But no significant improvement in his FC, same driving habits and routes.
