Consume 10KM / 1L before break in
will hit 13KM / 1L after 20 000KM with light foot and empty boot + syn oil and 35psi all wheels 15 inch alloys only.
OE tyres terrible ! Noiser than engine.
Good handling in corners/braking/wet and hrad acceleration up to 4500 rpm. good power at that range. Low end power terrible ! u need rpm !
Speed wonderful like euro cars. Stable ! fit 5 1/2 ppl in desprate cases. Still can sit a bit .... siao.
was given a nickname by photographers for this car ... chiak beh liao (Chev-ro-let)
