How much a/c use and heavy foot driving is involved in that 500km?
I get about 400km per tank, but I NEVER drive the car without a/c, and I admit I floor the gas fairly often with my 2.0. (I'm trying to gauge how badly off my fuel consumption is).
Any other 2.0 owners feel free to share your input as well on this...

For a daily driver the GT is lots of fun. the fortis feel like a sloopy (same suspension as the 1.5 , 1.6) mamoo (detuned 2.0) 1.6. The steering also gives less feedback guess it's because the GT has rigid collars to mate the subframe to the body, the fortis does not.
I have owned the CY2A 1.5 (new), galant fortis (f/used) and now the GT (new)
My advise is if you can't afford the GT new check Carmax for a used one before considering a fortis.
Why not an Evo x ? For me the Evo would be a project car, you don't project your daily driver imho. I currently get with the GT over 500km to a tank which is $140 to fill up.
Why I sold my rrm turbo kit? Reminded myself it's not a project car, I rearly use the highway, don't need it plus a search on the iterwebs will reveal all is not well with the kit, despite rrm claims that customers have over 70000km running daily on their kit.
Intake, exhaust, cams etc and you can easily see 200hp n/a
I know I gave a lot of info here and some are vague ( sorry but some abuse the free info I share) so Que the 25 plus daily PM's.

It's main roads so a lot of stop and go compared to highway drives. Btw how old is your GT. Do you service your throttle body, maf and egr valve?
Also I use a k&n drop in filter.

Are you sure the GT comes with rigid collars as standard? Have you checked this on your car?
Can't see why they would put on a GT standard and not an evo.
Also the Galant Fortis which looks just like a GT also seems to drive like a GT except the speed cut.
I had a Galant Fortis "GT" and found it to drive just like a local GT. had the same brakes wheels and interior as a GT. only problem was the speed cut.
Also came with a lot more features.

was in the bamboo recently looking for CY rims. African Foreign used parts says he had a container coming in and it had a set of Evo X rims in it (although i think is GT rims he mean). Called him today and he said they were unpacking the container today and that i can check him for it tomorrow (Saturday). I can't purchase those wheels right now again so hopefully one of allyuh who has been hunting for it since u get the car could get it.
