@Benzino....pretty much the same as what I had heard.Thanks for confirming.

Anyone with details on the RunX/Allex?
20Km/Ltr (highway) & 14Km/Ltr (town) sounds too high.

Benzino that consumption looks high for a 1500 cc Subaru.

I squeeze 10km/l in town, 15 km/l highway from a 2000 cc manual forester XT.

Indeed, these cars are a tad too thirsty for the usual run-of-the-mill 1500cc cars.

However, the Subaru Legacy BP5 (2005) and Subaru Legacy BL5 (2005) consume way better than their lazy sisters (imprezas). 10 Km/l Town driving, 13 Km/l on the Highway. [Tested and Proven]

I have never owned a Toyota, hence cannot authoritatively speak about them. However, from my experience with the Impreza GG2 & GG3, it is quite a solid car, despite being 'lazy'. That is, it is not quite as fast and as powerful as you'd expect a Subaru to be.

On the other hand, if you are seriously considering getting a Subaru, I'd recommend you get a Subaru legacy (BP5 or BL5). These cars are quite affordable[costs almost like an Impreza],have very good road manners and consume quite reasonably despite being 2000cc. Confirmed: 10Km/L town, 13 Km/l Highway.

with a Runx i do 42km daily, monday to friday and i use 3k on fuel for 2 weeks...but am on the road when there are few cars so i never wait in traffic...its roughly 14km/L (it's parked on weekends)
