hai any comments on the new subaru 1.5r
-
the new subaru is quite spacious n the price is reasonable, is it true boxer engine consume more petrol pls replies thanks
-
1.5r is it also 4wd? if so, is likely to consume more petrol.

Powerful cars always means more petrol hungry.Originally posted by mystee:1.5r is it also 4wd? if so, is likely to consume more petrol.
Wanna have more uummph ?
The answer is always have a larger engine that always eats more petrol.
This is not impressive at all.
Pure Electric cars require zero cubic millilitre of petrol.
No law in the universe nor science dictates that only petrol can power a car.
People believing that only petrol can power the car or anything is a self-certified complete ignorant. as clear as that. -
heard from thoese who bought is better than old impreza... better FC.. more lef room for front n back...

Of course there are other ways to power cars other than petrol..but can electric cars provide the kind of driving range that a equivalent petrol-powered car can do? If a petrol-powered car can travel 500km on a full tank, can the same car, but electrically powered, travel the same (500km) distance on one full charge? The answer is NO..and this is the main reason why fully-electric cars are still far from reality..
And once again, I'm repeating myself here..some other forumnites also said before..How is electricity generated? By the burning of fossil fuels! Whether they use CNG, coke or other fossil fuels, power plants burn fuels to generate electricity..so at the end of the day electric cars is LPPL..
And why a lot of people still think petrol-powered car is still the best? Because it is still the most powerful method of powering a car..and even if consumers wanted to buy electric cars or hydrogen-powered cars, it is still a long way before any of these are commercialised because it is not even fully developed yet..so hence the reason why cars are still sticking to petrol currently..
VW also said before, hydrogen will never replace petrol because turning hydrogen into liquid hydrogen is an expensive, dangerous and power-consuming activity..meaning even if the car's exhaust only emits water vapour, but there is still carbon dioxide generated indirectly when they pump liquid hydrogen because a lot of electricity is needed to convert gaseous hydrogen into liquid hydrogen..so once again, LPPL..
Even though now there are ways to use natural and renewable energy sources like wind, water and heat energy to generate electricity, but most of the energy used to generate electricity is still coming from fossil fuel..unless we humans find ways to use 100% renewable energy sources to generate electricity, if not all the alternatives to petrol cars are still useless..only ethanol powered cars are the most practical IMHO..and best would be PURE ethanol powered cars..very powerful and the carbon dioxide released will be re-absorbed by the sugar canes..
So YOU are the self-certified complete ignorant. -
Oh, and another thing reddressman..if you care so much about the Earth, why come online to sgForums? You really should be saving electricity..please kindly switch off your computer and do not come to sgForums ever again if possible..it will help you save a lot on electricity and you can help save the Earth..isn't this a good idea? Shoo!!

i dun understand y u have to quote mine.. when nothing abt what u stated is related... u can continue ur "PURE ELECTRIC CAR" in that previous thread of urs.Originally posted by reddressman:Powerful cars always means more petrol hungry.

So I assume that u define the subaru impreza 1.5R to be a powerful car?
While it is true that having larger engines is the way for more speed, how bout forced induction? and the hybrid vehicles?
an electric vehicle needs to be plugged in to be charged. yes, i do agree that it is pollution free. In the long term, we this can be viable, but not within these few years definitely.
lastly, u are not answering the ts's question at all. Why does an enquiry in this forum always ends up in a flaming match? I'm just curious to know.. -

the new subaru's engine has variable valve timing, while it should have a slightly better fuel consumption than the previous generation, as its weight is largely unchanged, due to its awd system, there will be more powertrain losses, so it will have higher consumption as compared to its rivals. cylinder arrangement does not really make a difference i guess.Originally posted by iamstreet15:the new subaru is quite spacious n the price is reasonable, is it true boxer engine consume more petrol pls replies thanks -
all hatchback ah the new subaru cars?

Not all new subaru cars but all new subaru imprezas, including its WRX and STI...Originally posted by sinicker:all hatchback ah the new subaru cars?
at the moment... -
I'm looking at buying the 1.5R (A) version. Only concern is FC and power. Cos the weight of the car is heavy but the engine power is not high. Any concerns? Need some expert views here. Thanks!!!
-
I've got my 1.5R MT on 22 December 2007. My FC is about 12km/l for the 1st tank of Shell 98 petrol.
-
Diff from previous model is it's a DOHC. But to me Sg no need a 4 wheeler in most road condition, means it's a waste of petrol.
Tested the WRX auto @ $90k. dun really feel the speed with the turbo kick in. -
the boxer engine alone does not account for the high fc, its the drivetrain that saps all the power and petrol.
-
U want the Impreza 1.5 to be powerful. Lup Turbo sure the car will be faster than any 1.5cc on the road.Originally posted by KLZW:let's not give those who read this forum a bad impression. We must stop showing that we're ignorant.
