You're planning to buy two?!? (daily driver vs weekend toy) Why not just buy one? The Mirage might be an affordable car but buying two might be going too far? As a weekend toy, the Mirage is not as fast nor as good handling as other options you could have as a weekend toy.

i've had the car since January but i only started using it regularly three weeks ago... its current odo reading is at 602 kms...

im getting soo frustrated now,,, i don't know what to do... do you think it is because the car is new? or there may be underlying problems in it?
please help... i'm no longer happy, and it's really stressful...

Check your tire pressure.

By the way, what is your normal route from home to your work/school? Your FC might indicate you're encountering quite a bit of crawling traffic.

hi guys,,, thanks for all your replies...

my tires are at 35... un kc ung nabasa ko sa manual...

the route im driving on doesn't have heavy traffic... it doesn't have any traffic at all...
i leave every morning at 6am to get to my work by 630am so I'm definitely missing the rush hours...
that's why i don't understand why the FC is a freaking 9km/li...
i know that it will improve after the first PMS... but is it really that low sa start?
I was least expecting a 12 or 14 based from previous posts...

it's really frustrating me... and my wallet... so much for a cost saving car...

^with pointA as your garage & pointB as your parking slot in the office, in the 30mins travel time that you have mentioned you never get to experience the speedometer to drop to ZERO?

i dunno where you're going with this question,,, i know it's sarcasm but i'll pretend you're just being cute... :D
"no traffic at all" doesn't mean i'm the only car on the road... im using the pinoy meaning of "traffic"...
since i'm not teleporting the car with me, so i guess yeah, i maneuver my car slowly out the garage, i get to stop at the red lights, or to slow down at pedestrian lanes...

now, if you'd like to help by sharing your other much sensible insights, do you think a total of 10mins stops/slow downs will cause my FC to be as 9km/li?

it might help if you tell us the distance traveled per 30-minute trip..

If GLS unit mo with 15tires try to lower down your tires PSI ndi naman kelangan sundin yung nasa manual. 30-32 PSI ang standard for sedans. Advise lang maam, if city driving ka lang 30PSI mo lang then pag maglong drive ka like out of town i 32 mo.. Ganyan kasi ginagawa ko standard ko 30, nag 32 lang ako pag out of town. Masyado pong matagtag yung 35PSI. One more thing wag panggigilan yung tapak sa gas pedal pag nakaprimera pagkareach mo ng 20km isegunda mo na. Tips lng po.
