Write a comparison between the FLX and LB

It is not a complex transmission. It has lesser parts than a conventional AT which in turn, contributes to lesser moving parts and better longevity. It was due to this simple construction that limits the CVT on handling high torque output. The very first generation of CVT was introduced to the market since the 1920s. It was only the late 1980s CVT usage began to boom as it is very popular among kei-car manufacturer (Subaru) and Fuji Heavy Industry also supplies their ECVT to other car makers like Nissan. Nissan only began develop their own CVT on 1992.

CVT isn't reserved for high end cars. In fact in Japan it started life as a transmission for small displacement cars such as the Nissan March and Subaru Justy. In fact, most high end cars doesn't have CVT due to the limitation of CVT couldn't handle high torque output. In the market, currently there's only two CVT which could handle the torque output of a 3.5L engine. One was developed by Nissan and another is by FHI. Furthermore, there is a lack of 3rd party CVT manufacturer/developer like PUNCH due to the fact that most automakers still prefer to stay in the number of cogs race. First there's 4 speed, then 5, then 6, then 7, then 8 and in future 9 speed.

The reason why the previous generation Honda City has high CVT failure rate was due to the carelessness of Honda Malaysia. Instead of CVT Fluid, almost all who send in their City for regular servicing has their CVT Fluid drained and replaced with ATF fluid. This is 100% human error.

Nop.. At Georgetown.. I'm still is "veges bird" for Mitsu sa... Hehe..

For CVT owners out there, during CVT oil change, insist not to use normal ATF fluid. May damage your CVT gb.

add in some more: tinted headlamps, crystal rear lamp + leather seat. And the best thing is still cheaper than premium LB 1.3

What to write about.. I had test driven both cars and simply put:
FC wise, LB wins hand down.
Looks - subjective, to me LB is fugly... just my opinion though. FLX a bit weird when it first came out..getting used to see it on the road i guess
Equipment and specs - on par if compare premium LB with executive FLX.
Price - FLX, full spec still 5k cheaper than premium LB 1.3.
Driving, ride and handling - FLX. City driving LB, because of the light steering, feels very
space - FLX

In conclusion, you will buy LB because of either due to FC/ LB fan/ skeptical with Proton quality. FLX, best bang for the buck.

it shouldn't suppose to be tinted
real one should be smoked which is sprayed black in the inside

My bad..should be smoked headlamps.

Looks like it's back to car/model comparisons once more...
What can one say?

Juz need to rber an old proverb..."One man's meat is another man's poison..."

Let's enjoy our own different "poisons", ok?

Just got a call from SA, FLX just need to check up, nothing major but got issue of cvt gearbox oil leaking.

Thats explain why some flx cvt warning light on.

So are you the ''lucky'' 1 ?

So far im not but still will check one shot with my fuel pump claims~
