... and ECS!!!

Hard to say too. It has to be efficient and having the right ratio.

There is no serviceable components for CVT gearbox - a sudden shock and slip happens in the gearbox then permanent damage. It needs to be replaced as a whole. The part that can be serviced is the torque converter. So no expertise needed. Err... the expertise is that they should know which type of gear oil it should use.

Interesting Campro got a 'boost' in 4.1k rpm, meanwhile Vios got boost in 5.7k rpm.

I'm very interested in power/torque graphs. Probably should pinned a thread for collection of stock cars' power/torque graph.

The infinite variables of collision, will dictates who received the most visible damage. It is not about 'OMG car A got less visible damage than car B therefore car A is tougher.'

I had my bicycle hit Volvo and the Volvo body dent in, while my bicycle intact. Who is tougher?

The only one is Ford Fiesta, RM 83k if I remember correctly.

Cruze... hmm... official brochure only mention TC. No ECS-like stuff. They did have. In the .pdf brochure. Online spec doesn't mention.

Wow, damn tough! Railing gone, wall also gone. Got front pic?

p/s: Photoshoped?

let's see...


Maybe the Forte hit by bicycle and MyVi hit by a tank? Just joking.


Anyway Forte is becoming the new Vios in LYN.

Nissan Xtronic CVT - not about Nissan but about CVT in general.

No CVT, just plain 6 speed convention auto box. No idea on new features - the current Forte already filled with features. Hope to have HID with auto-leveling, hydrophilic windscreen.

SA is dumb most of the time. CVVT engine yes maybe but not CVT gearbox. Just like Nissan SA keep saying their engine got CVT just like VVT-i. And another Nissan SA keep saying their gearbox is CVVT.

Read about Hyundai CVT... so far used in Elantra hybrid. And plans to use the transmission on 'smaller' models. Since you said so as well, then I believe 2011 Forte would be CVT. Cool!

Weird that others country Forte facelift is having conventional 6spd auto gearbox.


p/s: If that so, then Hyundai's SA is better than Nissan's.

They might share the GEMA stuff but mounting can be different. I like CVT more than dual-clutches.
