  Hi bros, i need some help in selecting a car, due to the nature of my job. I'm in sales, and i estimate that i will probably travel between 20km to 40km a day. so FC is an area of concern. I'll probably looking at car around the 65k region.. I am currently most probably gonna go for the Mitsubishi Lancer, so what u guys think ?? Any particular color of the Lancer that really rocks ? Btw, no Korean cars please, cos i heard they break down all too often after the 2nd or 3rd year, and i'm about 1.83m, so Vios is out. If this is a common topic, i do apologised, cos its my very first posting.. Thanks a mil. And btw. what is the interest rate for 10 year loan ??

  Hi,
  
  Not to scare you but I'm in sales too, and i can easily cover up to 80km-100+km a day...........
  
  Lancer FC from what i gather is average only............ abt 10-11km/l for auto........
  
  Which colors rocks for lancer??? errr.... white? heh..... depends on what you like.

  Lancer got only about normal FC. Ranges from 10-12km/L for Auto and 12-14km/L for manual. Thought there are causes of Auto lancer hitting 15km/L, but I guess if you can do that to a lancer, you can do better for those FC-wise cars.
  
  My advise is City-idsi. Easily 15(A)-17(M)km/L's FC. Huge cabin and unbelieveable boot size. Though it looks a little weird, but if you are looking at spec, you will get the best out of City.
  
  My rides is about 16km/L. Not doing sales and I can clock 2000km per month with about S$150 spent on petrol. I guess you will be looking at 2 to 3 times my mileage. So if you choose lancer, maybe S$500-600 per month??
