2014 Toyota Wigo

That's normal for AT in city driving I think..but for my Wigo G MT it's 14 km/L in city driving. My everyday route except coding day is commonwealth-katipunan-eastwood back&fort..this car is very fuel efficient..I usually fill up gas when the fuel bar is blinking fast and usually costs around 1.2k pesos to get it back to full tank..and it last for about 10 days going to work and back home including weekend trips.

FC on Wigo G MT - city driving

coming from an innova, of course i'm not ecstatic driving the wigo. i may fit comfortably in it, but that's just fit comfortably..
but squeezing myself in narrow roads, killer corners, and the ubiquitous walang-hiyang tricycles, and parking in small narrow slots, i appreciate its size greatly. verily, the wigo is made for city and eskinita driving.
my other car used to be an older lancer cvt that gives me 7 km/li. the wigo's 9.5 km/li is a welcome improvement. i hope mileage improves after break-in..
AT vs. MT? at the outset, i have decided to get the AT. my test drive with a MT caused my feet to bump into each other.. the AT, with one pedal less, got rid of that. there was a dive in fuel efficiency from MT to AT, but what the heck! my feet don't want to bump into each other!
btw, i have determined that the wigo's wipers have too much pressure from the springs.. the blades judder when the glass becomes too dry (o sige, too un-wet).
and the rear hatch "handle" (actually, the lack thereof), needs to be addressed.
and going up the ramp in my workplace.. i put off the compressor, so's the engine doesn't complain too much. kaya niya with aircon, but it is me that gets uncomfortable with its complaining vibrations..
so who enjoys my new wigo the most? the wife.. "now, i don't have to go mountain-climbing when i get in..".. her words, not mine.

*dr. d, thank you for the heads up on the wigo, I am not tall just a little wide, sir can the wigo be a weekend warrior traversing batangas-cavite-las pinas?

I'm actually tempted to buy this car around first half of next year if all goes well. Kaso, with the proposed "implementation" of Euro IV emission standards, I'm wondering how this model will fare. Someone posted a pic of the Wigo's data plate (link provided somewhere in this thread if I remember correctly) showing its emission standard as 96/69/EC (Euro II). Do you think it can meet the IV standards while initially rated under Euro II? Or may modifications pa na kailangan pagdaanan?

Bro no need to worry about emissions standards. Isipin mo nalang, the moment na maghigpit sila diyan, they will have to phase out all 2-stroke tricycles and other old-school engines. The government would never do that because our country just isn't ready for it.

I have a Wigo G MT.

Sa ngayon nasa 11000km na yung odometer reading. The farthest I've taken it is when I did Tanayburgring (Tanay, Caliraya, Pagsanjan, Calamba Laguna) back in July. That's roughly 200kms of continuous driving, mountain twisties and inclines. I used to take it to work everyday, 78kms in total back and forth, from Sta Rosa Laguna to Makati. Nag-average yung FC ko nun ng 16km/l, combined Makati traffic, highway, and yung usual traffic sa area namin. I stopped taking it to work kasi talo ako sa toll. Hehehe not because of gas, it's the toll fees na nakakaasar.

Obviously no problems sa inclines, or else I would've been traumatized to bring it back to Tanay, but I did. If familiar kayo dun sa Kaybiang Tunnel, okay din non, twisties din and inclines na mas mataas pa ata as compared to the ones in Tanay. Nadala ko na din si Stark dun.

Several members of our club (WigoPH) have taken their Wigos to Baguio and back. One member recently posted about it; 5 adults and 1 kid. MT din. No problems.

i (and other test drivers) find the wigo acceleration fast enough.
but i also find its climbing abilities, "un-exhilirating". but i'm coming from a diesel vehicle, so the comparison is probably unfair..
my former car, a cedia cvt, climbed inclines very well, but it also guzzles gas..
ah well... nothing is free..

RE: Emission standards

That's true. I share your sentiments. However, capable or not, I'd still like to follow the rules if at all possible. Just because everyone's doing it doesn't mean I should, right? Pero syempre, beggars can't be choosers. Kung walang sub 500k car na makakameet sa Euro IV standards, e wala. Kailangan pa rin ng sasakyan e. Hahahaha.. Still, I'd like to know if the Wigo can meet the IV standards if maintained properly even though it's rated under the II standard, or kailangan nya pa ng mod.

Baguio with 5 adults? nice!

Anyway, actual usage by the day-to-day users are the best reviews. Thanks for sharing, worried pa naman ako kung kakayanin ng Wigo yung ganun. Kaya pala. :D
