moreover, as i have already posted in few of ma previous topics, my platz (when used to be on petrol) gave me an average of 19 km/l on long routes (with 50%AC) and 17.5 km/l on long routes with 100%AC on...yes mine is a manual transmission one, but i m sure the auto trannys give almost the same average. inside city, it gives me 15 km/l.....and yes its wrong to compare a 1.0 platz with a 1.3 swift.....the 1.3 platz with 2NZFE is an outstanding car, way way way better than the swift, whether it comes to built quality, safety features, or anything else
