The downside of using higher octane fuel in a low compression engine is lack of power and lots of soot generation.

I got it from total usually , what mixture you will prefer ( hioctane and regular) if i am going to get 20 liters , then 8L hioctane & 12L regular. Is it good ratio ? or what ratio you prefer please ?

[irfanje.irfanje.1]

So, please recommend me mixture ratio ?

[shapeesh]

This seems fine.
Although, my brain says that there is no point mixing , but my heart and previous xperience says go for mixture every 2nd full

[shapeesh]

Just FYI I drive a 6 cylinder 300 hp car now and I have only used it on 91 RON. Has been fine for 5 years now.
In my civic I did the mixture of the same ratio Evey 2nd fill. And it was prime til I sold it off. That was mostly cuz at that time I was told that Pakistan regular fuel was 89 RON .

Any confirmed news about the introduction of new color in KIA Sportage plz. Thanks

[fazalwahab11375]

Pantera metal.. its like darker shade of gray . Not yet officially confirmed but expected to be avaibale with 2021.

[baajwa]

Should I go for vezel instead of sportage, I always preferred jdms but sportage looks better in terms of quality as compare to other local assembled cars. Please advise from seniors

[asifkidwai1]

Sportage is better bet than vezel both have merits and demerits but purely because of local assembly and 3s dealerships Sportage is better choice in terms of resale and after sale support

[Nabs]

Avoid Vezel.

[thrill-seeker]

Thank you.
I have a PBO of Jan-21. Any possibility of getting this color?

[Baleno1300]

Sportage is much more comfortable than Vezel + other benefits.

[automakerz]

New is New - go for the new one like Sportage.

[asifkidwai1]

Well they take long to issue invoice mine took 10 days after delivery that too in Karachi since yours to be posted from kHi might take longer

[Nabs]

How is the braking of Sportage as compared to Grande? I absolutely hate Grande's brakes, it has almost twice the braking distance than Civic. The ABS engages too often when I drive Grande FL 2017, which almost never happens when I am driving 2009 Civic.

[zulayed]

If the abs engages too early then you should get better tires.

[mgalaxy3]

Your tires are busted or have grip issues.

[Nabs]

Busted Yokohamas on a brand new Grande? While the Civic had Euro Stars with less width 195 vs 205. Its not the tires, I have driven my relative's Altis with Goodyears as well and its braking was as bad.

Anyway, I don't want to start civic vs corolla debate, I want to know braking capability of Sportage vs Grande.
