K11 1.0 mpg - when did it drop?

[CUBED]

hi all

Looking into getting a commuter car with prime target being economy.

An S reg 1.0 k11 has caught my eye but I've just read that post facelift models have worse mpg.

From what I've read there were two facelift changes - one in 98 when power steering was introduced and another (k11c) when the 1.0 offered better bhp.

So which facelift caused the mpg reduction? Is an S reg 1.0 still likely to see 40+ mpg?

First registered September 98 if that helps

Cheers
Phil

You would get 40 + with any of them buddy, it all depends on your right foot.
Personally I wouldn't bother with any air con ...just open the windows.

Cheers, i read that at a certain point onwards they only give 30mpg.

Nah - no way would they drop that low without a fault ....or a lead boot on your right foot.

Nothing wrong with a Suzuki mate - I've got 4 of them at this moment.
