I'm running on 205/45/R17 tyres and im getting bout 270km at the half tank marker. But as this is only my first tank i shall monitor it more but am surprise with the 17" its still gives decent mileage. As long as it fetches me around 12km/L im happy liao :D

That is excellent mileage on 17" rims and tyres. 

Do you do lots of highway driving?

I usually get 250km at the half tank mark, running on stock rims and tyres.

Mileage already 10,000km.

Of course! As people grow old they run slower too.  :bleh:

Try to have regular and proper maintenance, and your FC shouldn't drop alot.

12.7km is consider gd ar? my friend told me by right should fall between 13km ~ 14km. anyway guess is because my driving method keep on braking.

other problems ar.. let me think.. yah faced a few problem need advise

1) turning ~ cornering lor.. always felt that the car going to fell off 1 side.. haha
2) When i place the car in PARKING MODE; it always will still move backward abit like it was park on a slope when it was'nt.I ask my friend to sit in the car also felt the same.

Other than that quite ok bahz..

In D mode, when i am not stepping on the brakes, is the car suppose to slip back when on a slope?
