Dear Kamran
My Gli Auto is giving me 10 kms/ltr
The routes are mostly korangi clifton and defence
Multiple stops
Ac on 95% of the time
Mixed driving style
Idling with ac on ( engine running car in P ) atleast 30 mins daily as my younger sister listen to her favourite songs and enjoys the new car in garage which badly affects the fuel avg obv
So if i avoid these things and drive is on long routes like going to airport / shah rahe faisal
The avg improves significantly and touches 12.5
I havent driven or used new manual Gli
But it will give slightly better figures say 1 to 2 km/ltr max
Acceleration wise too
It will def have an edge
While going for jumma prayer today
I saw a gun metallic manual gli
The guy went crazy and was driving so fast
The way the wheels spinned and the noise of screetching tyres after the signal went green made me feel it was an Altis lol
Obv i am not comparing it with 1.8
I am just telling it was Fast
Not underpowered at all ..
You should go for it
This new corolla is a complete departure from the old one
Fun to drive
Much more spacious inside which is the best part and soft comfortable ride
Feels much better than previous one and better than city too
Looks so dashing and stylish
You will just love it ..
Best of Luck
