Raytham Neutral Newbie February 26, 2013 Share February 26, 2013 Thank you all for the inputs. Have eventually bought the car liao. Its a 08 registered car. Previous owner upgraded the rim to 17' with low profile tires...hope that wouldn't affect my FC too much. The car will be driven mostly by my wifey, I'll usually drive only during weekends :) She's more light footed than me....so am keeping my fingers crossed regarding FC. lol So far the feel of the drive is ok. Second row seat not that broad but good enuff for my 2 rascals. Leg room aplenty. Boot space not too big but shld be just nice for me cos I dun have too much things to carry. As for the car club, I think it's not active anymore cos couldn't go in anymore. Hope there are still enuff owners ard to exchange pointers abt this car. Lots to learn still..... Congrats!! Welcome to the Daihatsu family. I own a Daihatsu Sirion sharing the same engine as Materia also. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raytham Neutral Newbie February 27, 2013 Share February 27, 2013 How's ur FC like? And size of ur rim? FC is about 12-13km/l. Rim size stays stock at 14" still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daredarr Neutral Newbie February 27, 2013 Author Share February 27, 2013 FC is about 12-13km/l. Rim size stays stock at 14" still. That's pretty good!! Hope mine can be somewhere close Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raytham Neutral Newbie February 28, 2013 Share February 28, 2013 That's pretty good!! Hope mine can be somewhere close Think Materia will be slightly higher cause the Kerb weight is already heavier than Sirion since both using the same engine 3SZ-VE.

Amatsz Neutral Newbie February 28, 2013 Share February 28, 2013 My family has a 2010 Materia. It is a good car for kids and senior folks, very easy to get in/out of the car. The FC is around 11km/l on 98 ron with more than 75% short distance/city driving. Everything on the car is stock. Almost everything about the car is good except for road noise insulation.
