The Review
After the first month usage during nine months ownership, the engine seems to had failing performance a little too rapidly (engine seems not compatible for Urban mode driving)Strengths
Quite engine at lower engine speedWeaknesses
Inconsistent engine performance after some driving (about 30,000km of driving). Multiple repairs a little too advanced/prematured

puzzled by the spark plugs fouling each attempt to repeat the 18.81km/l (full tank) or 28.83km/l

Fuel consumption:

Drive pattern:
Hope to repeat 18.81 km/l or 28.83 km/l (could be under ideal condition only) with next tankful of RON92. The 14.41km/l averaged from mileage driven with all petrol purchased (many spark plugs fouling spoils the attempts)

The Review
36PSI does seems to improve fuel consumption over the recommended 30PSI tire pressure. Already tried spark plug gaps at 1.5mm, 1.3mm, (both brought on pinking) 1.1mm, now trying 1.2mm (pinking when engine cold). 36PSI tire pressure does seems to improve fuel consumption over the recommended 30PSI. Oil filter does look a little undersized for 1.5L engine (bigger replacement may help). Resonance box seems extravagant item for this engine, or its meant for 1.6L/1.3L engines? Anyone with air ram intake exposure to share?Strengths
Perhaps the resonance box can be quite useless extra weight. Believe air ram intake/cold air intake can be applicable for this model (no commercial supplier found yet)Weaknesses
Puzzled that the spark plugs fouled so easily trying to repeat 18.81 km/l, 28.83km/l, aboring several attempts

197.2 km with 6.84 litres of RON 92 petrol for driving approximately highway: 80 to 85%/urban 15 to 20%.That is 28.83 km per litre? Not hybrid?Strengths
Above those mentioned previously: amazing extreme fuel consumption?Weaknesses
Overcomed by the amazing extreme fuel consumptionLatest Response:

The Review
Popularity around Jurong area, competitive selling price, fuel consumption, positive (perhaps unsuitable) feedback from Malaysian Owner-driver with CNG conversion, Smaller-sized among mid-sized saloons. Not many newer mid-sized saloons can perform 18.31km/l, cruising speed matches engine speed for maximum fuel efficiency (believe and trying for better fuel consumption with same routes).Believe it can achieve better fuel consumption than 18.31km/l I believe this update to be more accurate without the two traffic jams affecting the fuel consumption monitoringStrengths
Length and width sized for hatchbacth-upgrader like me. Cruising speed at 110km/h with engine at 3000 rpm revolution (max. torque)Weaknesses
May not be quite suitbale for overtaking along North-South Highway with CNG conversion using 50 litres cyclinder(original preference over Accent 1.3M for CNG conversion)Latest Response:

Hi Samho,
Decided against CNG conversion due to cost, additional weight, self-confidence. Latest subject to confirmation is 28.83km/litre also RON 92 petrol only asdzds

It is common for CNG converted car to loss about 10% power due to tank and critical firing of CNG. Try to install Max~Zone 4in1 action to restore or improve power when on CNG. Visit www.eesingapore.com
18.31km/l is fantastic
