Spacio is Quite Good in fuel consumption Mostly the 1500cc. 1NZ-A engine.

Now For those who have bruised egos from vitz u can get a 1000cc Platz. Same like the Vitz but is a bigger body saloon car. Now better still when you get a manual Platz 1000cc you can get to 20km/L (tried it some time)

Now Moving From there If you move slightly higher you can get a 1300cc that will give you 16km/L eg. Toyota Cami,Toyota NZE120 sedan,Funcargo,.............. and your ego wont be bruised

Well i learnt from the Chutes. They have a tiny weekday car. The platz,Vitz.... and then Come Friday!!!!! Boost your ego with your Sports Car. Now the BMW convertible can come in. ....Lakini Forkojembe ya mwafrika anataka apeleke fuel guzzler Mon - mon

@ ihmolizer,

318(ex-japan) is ok in terms of consumption and local town running but as for the suspension,that is another story for another day. Also a lot of people worry about resale value,me thinks its a good car in terms of consumption.

@peppy,

please tell more about the suspension? you also reckon the consumptions is good approx km/litre? any ideas? how about the general cost of repair e.g normal service,parts etc?

@Djinn: read this.......

The guy used only 2.23 litres to travel from Nairobi to Naivasha...approx 80km.....the run limits drivers to 2hrs for the journey. Free-wheeling down the Kinungi descent is not allowed...it's a fun run and cheating is NOT EXPECTED....after all there is no prize money for the winner...only recognition by fellow club members.....

While people are preoccupied with fuel economy,I consider other types of economies; ie acquisition cost,insurance and security cost,durability and service cost.

I have a Peugeot 405,in mint condition,which I acquired for only 150K. When my Toyo 100 or 110 friends use 700 bob worth of fuel,I use 1000 bob. Not much a difference,is it?

This car is in much better condition than most toyos. I rarely visit the mechanic for replacement of worn out items.

My insurance is nothing to write home about. Besides,a pad lock for me is enough for security; thieves have no business looking for my car. As for Toyos,you have to put seriously expensive security systems which sometimes fail.

Well,about re-sale,after I have used it for 10 years,I can sell it as scrap metal for 50K. I'll have lost 100,000 only.

So,who has spent more at the end of day?

@ njung'e

the prob with doors feture more on 504s which were built without a chassis. that is why the doors go off the frame as the car ages and become problematic. however it also depends on how one takes care if his/her car cos there are still 504s that are very sound condition and have no door probs. 405s rarely have door probs.
