Well, yes the fuel consumption. It depends. What driving cycle do you drive? Short, stop start, traffic, you looking at about 13L/100. More long distance, some are getting 10.5 to 12. Depends on driving style and accessories fitted. I'm getting on average (school runs, traffic, big tyres) about 13.5. But, it's worth it. Damn, this car is to quiet and smooth because it's a Petrol. I hear the Hev gets a bit better fuel consumption. For me, the overall package is just great. Smooth, quiet and fairly nippy. Go drive one, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!
I live in Australia. I've had the Tank 300 petrol ultra for a year now, It's one of the best cars I've ever driven. The downside is the fuel consumption and the ELK keeps turning on everytime I get into the car (which I understand is a feautre in all new cars). The indicator stock can be annoying at first but you get a feel for it after while. With regards to quality my right rear tyre pressure keeps decreasing slightly faster than the other tyres. Not sure if it's a GWM thing or a tyre thing, haven't had time tot get it checked out as I live in remote WA. Early on I had some rocks lodged from trucks crack the top surface of my windshiled. Had it replaced with RAC. As for everything else it's been perfect. I've done over 15K and most of it is long distance on crappy country roads with some city driving and beach dune off roading. It's extremely smooth, extremely comfortable and enjoy getting in everytime. It's my meditation machine. Happy with my purchase so far. Will update this comment in another year.
Great video, thanks! I am looking into buying a 300. The only issue is the fuel consumption. How has it been for you?

Oh, and this car gets looks everywhere especially with bigger tyres fitted. And so many ask to take a look and chat. All very impressed!
