performance car, FC should not be an issue for buyers unless there is a huge mismatch in FC  vs smiles/mile

 

But the 2.0 Stinger is hardly a Performance Car,maybe the 3.3 is.

Not sure about that, have not have chance to test drive either.

Base on youtube car reviewers the 3.3 is supposedly the poor man's M3 while the 2.0 is a better balanced car because of the lighter front end. 

Either way, the ones I come across mostly have very loud exhaust that suggest a strong performance?

@Yongjin So the best is about 11Km/L....not very good FC in Today's 2.0 Cars.

For it's power, weight and profile, that's pretty good already... what do you mean no good? I would be more concerned if it was low single digits...

Anyway Korean Cars always have a higher FC compare with Japanese or German Cars.

Is that always the case? I'm not sure... but it seems to be competitive these days...

A lot also depends on your speed and driving style I guess... if I drive carefully I can get 11.5 km/L on 50% highway, 50% urban, but I am more impatient, I get only 10 km/L... driving a 2015 Sonata 2.0 L NA... car's 6 year old now... that's in the ballpark of a Camry or an Accord or a Mazda 6 of the same vintage...

Your BMW has a turbo, that makes the engine a lot more efficient... and I don't know what age your car is, but your brother's 2013 Kia is almost 10 years old now... so if yours is a recent model M240I (which should be given that its quite a new model in the BMW lineup), then the comparison isn't fair mah...
