Yup, keep ourselves under control. But when shift 3rd gear, cannot resist :hmmmm:The unreasonable temptation to floor the throttle more than what is needed.
Actually if I put more discipline on myself, I really don't have to step more than 30% on the throttle to get the car going now. That is not the case last time when my car is underpowered mainly due to wrong ignition timing.

Your turbocharged engine of course hard to resist. But why 3rd gear? 2nd gear pull not fun enough?
Mine on low power engine, 2nd gear pull is good enough. Not feeling too short unlike yours.1st, 2nd gear can pull, damn ratio too short....somemore wira mah, once a while do lah.
21.7km/L is hybrid territory. Impossible to achieve on real roads in a Myvi.
16-17km/L is possible with a Myvi 1.5 manual as a friend of mine regularly achieves that and he's not exactly slow either. The trick is not light feet, it's smooth driving with minimal variances in your gas pedal.
My Sylphy if I were to rev 3k RPM and maintain the 150km/h speed all the way to JB from KL, I'd get a pretty good FC of 14km/L which isn't much but for a large saloon with a 2.0L engine it's not bad. However in city since it's most of the time stop-go traffic and inconsistent throttle best I get is 10km/L and worst 8km/L. If I maintain 110km/h from KL to JB I'd die of boredom first then get an incredible 16km/L in the Sylphy. My auto Myvi's concept is similar. City driving usually 12-14km/L. Highway about 15-16km/L easily.
Oh I think it's been shared before but if you want to save more fuel, strip the car down to be as light as possible. Drive smoothly and maintain a throttle point where it's not too high and not too low, usually below 3k RPM. The boring range.
Thank u so much. I think it should be good la. I asked a friend of mine who is using a 1.5 auto and he said that the car gives him almost 600km for a full tank. but his piping modded la. so i can assume manual might give somewhere around that figure if driven properly. hahaha
TS, no offence. Why still go for myvi 1.5 since you edi have a 1.3. Go for other and better car such as honda city or toyota vios. These cars are quite fuel efficiency.
This is true.
The 'god car' Toyota Vios is more comfortable than the Myvi and has almost as good FC
The thing is, Myvi 1.5 manual is selling for 50k while Vios J manual starts at 76k. RM26k difference is quite a lot of money. The amount saved between Vios and Myvi's monthly installment is probably enough to pay for some of the petrol bill.
Easily on par in terms of FC, 1.5L Vios vs 1.3L Myvi. That's why I say the 1.5L Myvi isn't that much more, driving style makes more of a difference than the 200cc displacement.
This is the reason why I'm getting a myvi than a vios. The thing is, I've already used the 1.3 auto myvi so I wanna get the 1.5 manual as a change.
After so many years with auto, you think can handle manual, especially in city jam?
Why don't you just stick with the 1.3 auto Myvi? No point getting into debt again. Save the money and can buy something better like a Honda City or god forbid a Kia Cerato.
The 1.5L Myvi is still a Myvi....
Everyone needs to start somewhere.After so many years with auto, you think can handle manual, especially in city jam?
Don't dampen the manual enthusiasm spirit.
Not dampen but give something to think about. Once bought no turning back.......lolEveryone needs to start somewhere.
I'm seeing the budget la actually. I do have a 2014 City and a cerato at home actually hahaha. Pretty good cars. Cerato is kind of high maintenance in terms of service but the comfort and tech is really good. I find Myvi the perfect car to suit my preferences la so that's why
