Fuel efficient Cars(Nissan)

With all the news of rising prices of oil and foods,everyone right now is searching for a way out of the mess.Everyone know that,everyday,the crude oil price will rise,for sure,but the government subsidization on oil,will may some how channel to subsidise the food instead the oil.I don't know what the future for Malaysia.Okey,back to our story,peoples that are staying the in urban,would feel the pressure of the oil price that hike like hell.the congestion problem make it worst.City/town driving is different from driving in highway,instead of constant speed,city driving is full with,stop and go,brake!go,stop,brake!,all over again.Car maker right now is more marketing on fuel efficiency car,instead power(but somehow they did sell fuel "drinker" car).From hybrid to electric,none is suitable with Malaysia because of maybe the thinking of Malaysian,I guess.

Fuel efficient car is already been in Malaysia market,for instant,the underpower Perodua Kancil,that is famous because of it being use as a driving-school's car.But people that stay in town would not bother thinking to buy this kinda cheap,underpowered car(no offend to Kancil user).They much thinking of style instead,with a sipping fuel type of engine,is the way to go.

Today,i'm gonna intro some of small size car that may get these type of people attention.

Nissan Micra/March(approx 50mpg)

• For the first car,Nissan Micra locally know as March.Not the gasoline engine,but with diesel engine plus a turbo!It's a 1500cc,for Malaysian,it's quite good for small car,easier to over-take a trailer i guess.The car using only 2 pistons,instead of 3 or 4 pistons.The car featuring direct injection and an intercooler.

• With an impressive 148lb/ft of torque at only 1900rpm,producing 86hp,this car is for sure a speedy at traffic light!

Nissan Otti (approx 49.4mpg)

• The second featured car is the Nissan Otti.The look may looked odd,but people may can receive it well,just like what happened to Perodua Kenari,where people skeptically talk rubbish about that car that looked like a moving bread(because of the boxy shape),but time goes by,the car became a favourite car for a small family because of the space features.

• This car builted boxy for the sake of space.Inside,you can feel the spaciousness,just like the Kenari,but more like a minivan,a small minivan.Actually,the car have many kind of optional feature like the sliding door for the passenger instead of normal door.The space cargo were impressively large when you fold the back seat.

• With 3cylinders,660cc,just like Kancil,it may have some drawback,where the car only produce 50hp at 6500rpm!Who want to rev this type of car like that to squeeze out the power?Maybe a person that tried to take-over a trailer i guess.

Nissan Mocco(approx 49.4mpg)

• This tiny car based on Suzuki's platform also used in Otti.With 3cylinders that producing 54hp,the car just like the Otti,with a different face.Nothing much to talk about because it's a just a same car like the Otti.

Nissan Note(approx 50mpg)

• People might familiar with this kinda of design in Malaysia.Its looked likes Grand Livina.Maybe this is Nissan's kinda signature right now.

• The last car featuring today,doesn't meant that the last is the worst or the best,but just simple okey to me.This 4cylinders turbo-diesel,1500cc,producing 103hp at 4000rpm,and 177lb/ft at only 2000rpm that manage to get nearly 50mpg.That's a good car for a city travel.

• The conclusion was,although these kind of small car might be seen as a sissy's car(if a guy used it),it practical for a family that just start built the own life.The car that feature here may or may not been in Malaysia's market,but i think it might available in Malaysia,where the grey importer bring in the cars.
