I second that. hardly had to change any spares in my 5+ year old 1.2 ELX. Spares may be expensive - but its not as bad as you think coz u hardly need to change them - unless of course you are accident prone.

I don't think thats the typical FE. I know people who are driving Pailos and most of them are getting 10-11 in Bangalore traffic. I get close to 11 in city with AC 50% and ~15 in highway with 100% AC. There might be some slight improvement in NV versions and maybe a reasonable improvement with 1.1 stile.

Again it depends a lot on what the traffic conditions are - i drive in congested roads such as airport road and inner ring road in Bangalore and spent a lot of time in signals
