friend just got one, he said it could get up to 600km, that's the funny thing. He doesn't know much about cars so when he heard 600km it sounded great til i asked him how big his tank was, and whether or not that was 600km in the city or on the highway. cause fuck, i can do 600km in my g35 on the highway.

I drove like a mad man whenever I could once the engine warmed, trying to push the RPM to 4~5k for breaking in. It was sluggish at first but now the power responded much better; I guess the ECU learned my pattern and I learned its.
The first tank did around 500km over 90% city. Right now the 2nd fill up lasted around 1200km.
Google'd:
Gas tank size = 14.5 gallons = 54.89 litres
That's roughly 11L per 100km~
Not exactly impressive for fuel but to be fair I didn't try to save fuel either! I will try to drive to save after next fill up and calculate the consumption.

You're doing the math wrong...
Using 54.89L for 1200km works out to roughly 4.5L /100km

which would make sense if he used his WHOLE tank.
because i did 430km with 47l, which works out to be the same mileage
btw, did you mean your second tank lasted 1200, or lasted until 1200

btw, did you mean your second tank lasted 1200, or lasted until 1200 | Ya I meant the 2nd last until 1200km, so roughly 600km for a tank. I'm gonna do a more precise calculation with the exactly liters on the receipt.
Should I get an oil and ATF change now? I've heard that it would be a good idea to drain any particles and change the filter early. But a buddy of mine said it's not really necessary, maybe at 4k for oil change; as for ATF he said only 1/3 is drained usually, plus there's a magnet in there that catches everything?

Only the ATF at the bottom of the pan drains out. Most of the ATF sits in the torque converter so you'll have to run through the gears to drain the fluid there while another person adds fluid while it drains. The other way would be to do multiple drain and fills to replace most of the old ATF.
There are magnets at the bottom of the pan that collects particle shavings. Best to clean them if you drop the pan.
The owner's manual should indicate fluid change intervals.

How are you liking your car? Are you getting close to the advertised MPG?
I test drove a CX5 with the same SkyActiv engine, and was pleasantly surprised by how smooth it was. Yes, you'll hear the 'diesel clatter' from the outside due to the DI system, but when cruising, you can't hear it.
