Think its how hard u step on the gas le... approx 2500rpm should be more than suffice for most cars to be the crusing speed at 100km/h

keep it about 2.5

CruSheR wrote:redkoup how was ur fuel consumption roughly like?

Too early to say. When i collected last sat, it half a tank of petrol. Today, still hv a quarter tank left. That's how underutilised the car is. haha.

2.5k revs is too low. The engine will labour and is actually worse for the engine. The koup's engine is quite revvy in the low range and gearing is oso quite low, so moving off from standstill in the 1st 2 gears, u will easily hit 3k. I keep it to max 4k as you'll need to keep the powerband between 3-4k to wring out the torque to make decent smooth progress without driving like an old grandmother.

Not rev till 3k rpm to reach 100kmh. Onli V8 engines hv that luxury of a lazy engine turnover speed.

I mean when the car is doing 100kmh, revs are hovering ard 3k rpm in 5th gear. Not sure if the forte is as lowly geared too. Great for s'pore urban driving but engine can be a bit busy on NSH.

dunno why but your amateur photos make the red koup look better than in professionally taken photos...

if got time i'll go down take a look at the red in person again
maybe i was wrong about the koup only looking good in black

For those that asked abt the interior of the Koup. It looks exactly like the Forte except for the ah beng LED Mood Speakers u see on the doors.

This is for those who had asked for the Koup's side profile shots.
