Cheap cheap for the young city modern drivers

Wow, either you are a very relaxed driver or Toyota over-delivered on its numbers hahah

IMHO.
If I relax drive, can hit 29km/L.

You should have gotten one with sports paddles then

Can still drive it like a manual car; but honestly, I seldom use the paddles as my car's gearbox is quite good at picking the correct gears, so never had to bother with manually shifting gears

Anyway, most auto cars come with "coasting" mode these days, meaning the gearbox will shift into neutral when cruising down the highway

IMHO.
The cvti got sequential gear shifter on the gear shifter.

They can advertise 1000km...

But when the potential buyer test drive the car, he would have noticed the range is 500km or something. It should be clearly reflected either in KM or %.

If he still decided to go ahead, then it's on him.

didnt watch the full video but if it's WLTP, real life is about 17-20% lesser in Singapore.

If drive mostly KPE cruising 70-80km/hr, then can hit closer.

Estimated range is grossly inaccurate TBH. For test drive vehicles, it's in city, so the range will definitely be much lower. Like ICE car, FC is probably 50% at city driving compared to highway. If someone drive the same car over KPE on a daily basis, the range will shown higher anyway.

Personally, my average is 10x wh/km for past 24k km.

IMHO.
The cvti got sequential gear shifter on the gear shifter.

In one of my previous cars, it also has a "manual" gear shift on the shifter

Need to push it to the left and then move up (+) to shift up and down (-) to shift down

Also hardly use as the car's computer did a better job than me in selecting the most efficient gear

The best I ever got from my previous ICE car was 5.2L/100km or 19.2km/L

My current car's best was 5.5L/100km and that's quite an achievement cos it's has 2L FI engine and most of the time I would be lucky to get 10L/100km

Think it is useful for long downhills to use engine braking instead of wearing out brake pads? Just not very applicable to SG terrain

Imho the prius was the real GOAT hybrid. Too bad they allow taxis to use it, spoilt the image.

Yup, and also useful if we want to relive the manual stick driving experience hahah

But the car computer does a much better job at selecting the most efficient gears than I ever would hahah

So unless I need to quickly downshift 2 gears and overtake, hardly use my paddles
