My lovely B160 - just collected in July 2011

[Guest art60044]

Dear all, I collected my B160 (white) last month and have not gotten used to driving it. Thus far I have driven it about 5 times as I passed the car to my wife who is driving it daily to her workplace.

I feel nervous driving it and had mounted kerbs in HDB carparks 3 times already. Not to used to the high driving position tho...

Acceleration is sluggish for first few seconds....(0-100km/h on specs is 14.2sec)....due to heavy car body I think.

I really love the image especially the huge star at the front. But I think the wheels could have been 18inchers and not the 17inch ones.

Fuel consumption is abt 1L=10km (stop-go traffic). If I floor the accelerator more (in stop-go traffic peak hours), it will go about 1L=8 or 9km. Fuelled with ESSO 5000 (95 Octane).

Bros/Sis...pls feel free to share your driving experience of the B160.

Gratz on your B160. If your car were on 18"s, your fuel consumption would definitely increase by a fair bit and your acceleration would suffer even more.

Hope you enjoy the ownership experience!
