Re: The Black Knight: Toyota Etios Liva G Sorry Rakesh, I did not keep track of this thread as nothing was there to report. The Black Knight went for its 30,000km servicing yesterday (clocked in 22 months). Apart from the regular paraphernalia like oil filter change, they also changed the intake air filter and wiper blade. As I have subscribed to the 'Smiles' programme, total cost incurred was Rs. 548 inclusive of parts and labor.
During these winter months, we got a steady mileage of 13.5-14kmpl strictly with city driving. In highways, with 100% AC and a speed of 90-110 kmph with five adults on board and luggage, we got 15kmpl. In city conditions in summer with 50% AC, we never got below 12.5-13kmpl. The catch I think to get the best mileage in this car, is to keep a steady check on your tyre pressure. I fill nitrogen at 34psi for front wheels and 32psi for rear wheels. Lower tyre pressures will give a lower mileage.
A really hassle free car. Strongly recommended for people who like a car with minimum niggles with a pleasant driving experience and not care a hoot about feeling like a 'Saabji' when seated inside. |
