According Honda dealler, price for CRZ CVT may need additional of RM5-6k.

I googled CVT but still not too clear about how it works? So what's the difference between that and my current Auto Honda City?

If I step on the gas and don't let go, it shifts by itself?

Current car allows me to rev until I let go of pedal and then it shifts, any difference?

CVT means continuous apa transmission...forgot jor...
means u wont feel that its changing gear one...
example like if u drive wira auto...u can feel its changing gear...
but if its CVT...feel like one gear go all the way one...

u cant feel gear shifting in a CVT because it simply DOES NOT shift from 1 gear to another.

That's sad right? Usually when I drive, I like it on the same gear when overtaking or just speeding up and release when I feel like it

Although it's supposed to be an upgrade if not wrong in terms of fuel efficiency

I'm waiting for the auto!!!

I heard the manual transmission model gonna stop production from Japan side. WTF!

A CVT powertrain allows you to move through your torque curve almost independent of your speed. In layman's term, in a normal AT car, you press on your throttle to make your car downshift 1 gear so you can pull your car with more torque at 3.5k RPM, and as you speed increases, so does your RPM, until your car decides to upshift because it's RPM is too high for D gear.

In a CVT, you just tekan til your RPM reach 3.5k, and the speed will increase while your RPM STAYS at 3.5k. you want more torque, press further to 4k, 4.5k etc, depending on what RPM is your max torque at, and just keep your RPM there as your car accelerates.

To illustrate further, when climbing hill, a 4AT will often jerk as it constantly upshift and downshift and upshift and downshift. Because as you climb on 4th gear, your speed drops and your RPM drops, so your car downshifts to 3rd gear to attain higher RPM for higher torque. But at the 3rd gear, the car accelerates and the car will have to upshift to 4th gear again because 3rd gear can only go so fast. After upshifting, the RPM drops so does the torque, and the car will have to downshift again.

A CVT will not have this problem because it can stay at the optimum RPM with the best amount of torque for the condition, completely independent of speed.

This is why ppl complain the CVT no oomph, because the CVT keeps the engine revving at a constant RPM, they think the car is not accelerating.

Bro & Sis, any recommendation for Tinted Brand & Quality Installer for CR-Z..

Basic Req include:-

1. Good Heat Reduction
2. Pass Puspakom & JPJ
3. SmartTag & GPS friendly
4. Can withstand break in attempt (Security Tint)


Basic info needed:-

1. Thickness
2. Warranty Period
3. Shop Address, Phone & Installer Name
4. Price

Some tinted peel off very soon coz of Bad Installation & poor product quality
and on top some Damage your car Door Panel in the process.

Thank you all...

saw this car at puchong kah motor. very nice.

sturdy and solid build. low driving position. at 119k is quite attractive.

good tint have good "price"
go for V-kool, huper optik, 3M if u have the budget(but this are normal tint)
security tint go for Llumar

3M also have security tint range

I'd say 3M or Llumar if you have the budget
