Last Feb09, I mentioned to forumers here that i recommended my uncle (prev Sunny) and colleague (prev Vios) to the Forte.
Now's a year on, I was at my Uncle's place for CNY visitation.
We spoke about cars, and i was lamenting to him about my 9-10km/litre FC for my mz3 1.6SP.
He shocked me with his 7km/litre figure for his manual 1.6 forte!
i nearly fell off my chair, and for one moment again, agreed that Korean cars still have lots of catching up to do in FC aspect. He also pointed out that he should have gotten a FC friendly altis instead.
I regretted introducing this car to him...
The puzzling thing he mentioned about his forte is that it prefers hard revving to achieve good FC, while gentle driving hurts FC tremendously.
To cut the story short, i went down with him to have a go at his forte, and it's when he showed me the FC trip display.
6.8L/100km
We had a good laugh together.
