JazakAllah bro,

Sir this does not mean I stop at every signal. In Islamabad, I have one signal which is almost 4 minutes long. I reach it two time a day, except saturdays and sundays. Whenever I reach it and I know that there is a long time remaining I simply shut down the ride.

The ignition should not be very frequent. But stopping it on long signals is a very good tool to get good mileage. With this I never say you should start and stop again and again. Because when you start the car, the first kick off takes more fuel. So, if the duration is not long, it will waste the fuel instead of saving it.

Brother, you cannot compare a santro to vitz! seriously, thats an embarassment for the Vitz.

As far as your stress on petrol/gas affordability, I have a vitz 06, gives me 11.5 km/l MAX, and oh yes I drive with a heavy foot, in karachi traffic. . Also my daily running is abt 50-60 km in this car only.

Coming to the point, yes it might be a bit heavy on your pocket if you compare it with the running cost of your coure, but then again.. both these cars are in totally different leagues.

If you want a manual CNG car go for city 06-07, if you want a less driven JDM auto on petrol, go for vitz 06.

Go for city with CNG.

in that range you can import 06 vitz with 1.3L same engine came in corolla...put that on Cng or moj kero

btw Usarwar owns 06 vitz with 1.3 according to him....he is getting above 18km/L in city

put that on cng

mehrozniazi1 (Mehroz Khan Niazi) 2012-03-08 04:56:41 +0500 #16

otherwise...Buy hyper valve city 2002 shape ....if you have city in mind

you can't install CNG in vitz and that's the only negative point about it
and as a matter of fact, CNG might not be available in future, if current circumstances prevail
so if you need to run your car on CNG then go for 2006 city idsi, highly economical car.
and if you like vitz and if your budget allows, then keep the cuore and buy vitz as a second car, but only if your budget allows you

BTW, a little off-topic, what is your demand for your cuore?

syed-shoaib (syed-shoaib) 2012-03-08 06:28:40 +0500 #18

Yes rozzzzz bhai is right. You can find the vitz with 2NZ-FE engine. It does not contain CVT. It has simple 4AT transmission hence the CNG can easily be fitted. The only problem is that this version of vitz is four wheel drive and hence is not fuel friendly. But you can easily remove the junction rod to make it simple 2 wheel drive machine. That will be really great for you.

Usarwar bhai's ride giving 18Km/l ?????? Wow. Has he done any modifications?

Will city 2006-07 available in this budget...??

My 2 Cents
Don't Go For 1.0L 3Cyl VITZ

Get 1.3L Vitz 4 Cyl ...Much Better

butt74 (butt74) 2012-03-08 10:47:04 +0500 #21

So all odds are against vitz....

You're sadly mistaken my friend !!!

The 2SZ-FE comes with a Super CVT-i gearbox as well

AoA,

Brother it all depends on your pocket. If you can afford the fuel calculations we have made, go for vitz. But if you cannot, or you don't want to, then obviously ALL ODDS WILL GO AGAINST VITZ. Won't they?

Best of luck,

ivtec3 (ivtec3) 2012-03-09 08:19:23 +0500 #25

Yes!

ivtec3 (ivtec3) 2012-03-09 08:21:30 +0500 #26

1.3 L Vitz 06 is not within his budget.

At one end the guy is clearly saying he focuses on petrol efficiency and people here at suggesting a car that would consume more plus is not within his range! :S

butt74 (butt74) 2012-03-10 10:11:37 +0500 #27

ok guys thanks to all for kind concern especially shoaib bhai.... i have made up my mind that i will go for vitz 06 at any case... if could not afford it ... will change... but dont let any "hasrat" in my mind that I did not buy Vitz....

now tell me about ECO ? what is this.... maintenance of that... etc etc plz

syed-shoaib (syed-shoaib) 2012-03-11 16:09:04 +0500 #28

You are more than welcomed brother. Ahan nice. MashAllah. Nice. Go for it and best of luck.

I have not driven the ECO version yet. I hope someone will come in and help you. drtariqazeem bhai is owning an ECO 1.0 vitz now a days. You can PM him for ECO stuff.

Best of luck,

ivtec3 (ivtec3) 2012-03-13 05:17:04 +0500 #29

By ECO you mean the one which stops at signals, etc?

You would be charged more, it doesnt have much extra value, my suggestion.. plus if it malfunctions, I doubt many mechanics/electricians would solve the issue properly.

butt74 (butt74) 2012-03-14 03:30:58 +0500 #30

Yes ivtec3......ECO is the system in which engine stops at break and restarts on accelerator.

I have been going through market. Vitz 06 unregistered (ECO or without ECO) will be easily available around 10. (do let me know if any registered is available obviously it will be of less price)

Some showroom boy told me that in ECO cars 2nd battery which is underneath the front passenger seat does not need maintenance. It is life long. Just protect it from water. This need to be clear here. One more thing if this system gets out of order then what, is there any button or way to bypass this system.

I also noticed that showroom owners / workers have not much knowledge about specs of these vitz.
