I drive alto daily as it's my regular car for office-home drive. daily i travel almost 50 km in morning with AC. my gas lasts only for 2 to 3 days. Max milage is about 110-115 on AC. on 55 Capacity.
my Gear ratio is
1st 0-25
2nd 25-40
3rd 45-60
4rth 60-Top Speed
on the other hand liana gas milage depends on drive, i am not sure becasue i've not stalled Liana Engine on Red Dot but i think it's giving like 177 to 195 with AC max... i think.
for liana my gear ratio is
1st 35 even i can pull upto 45 or even more if desired
2nd 35- to 50
3rd 50-75
4rth 75- Top Speed
i have drived on both petrol and Gas, The major Difference feels when we pull car on Second Gear. it's like 5% reduction to what Hi-Octane Offers! but it seems that RPMs is Automatically increased when gear shift ratio is low.it's really not making any difference. RXi is Primary a CNG car. The Engine is powerfull as compare to What I.D.S.i Offers. i agree Vtec is good. but M13a is equally powerfull to Vtec, but Dual -over Headed Cam is a Technology that rules over SOHC, it's latest for more power and economy what liana offers, The engine in liana is of Swift 2006 in japan, in Europe Liana is offered with 188 bhp engine, it's like M 18 DOHC.
i think for Pakistan 70 to 80 Hp is Fine with this kind of traffic conditions, i am personally not a Racing Driver.lol
Honda City can't be compared to Liana
Liana Can only be compared with Toyota/Civic/Lancer/Nissan Saloon
City is a simple mid-size Sedan with average features, like i said, it's simply a status Symbol with no practical Value of money!... i would prefer Civic alone in Pakistan it's good car but again offers same features in more expensive price tag because of almost 75% imported parts.
Liana is complete sedan like Toyota or other Cars in it's class and is locally build but offers attractive features and extra benefits like CD/MP/WMA player and most importantly that CNG kit that may Cost around 1 Lac if installed.
in 8.5 lac it's good bargain!
