well, im sorry if my queries seems stupid, but this is my 1st time in this thread, so im not really sure how u guys work.. looks like bombarding people is the way 2 go here.. ok, point noted.. n as the issues wit my stars, i earned em by being polite n nice as i possibly can, discussin sumthin as a FORUM shud, not juz firing people n then being as sarcastic as hell juz becoz u hate the opposition carmaker.. let me tell u sumthin, i love cars.. i dont really care the make or model, thats y i hangout in FnF, 2 be around other car lovers. i dont discriminate anybody, not by wat type of brand of car they drive, whether i like or not.. yes, i drive a myvi eric, but u dont see me go around giving terrible comments bout saga.. 2 me, 2 each his own.. u choose 2 buy a particular make or model 4 ur very own reasons, nobody has the rite 2 discriminate that rite of urs.. n even if i happen 2 give other forummers a piece of my mind, i surely would apologize n give probable juztifications 4 my action. being a saga newby, i thought we could juz blend in n discuss stuff bout this budget sedan which i think is a very gud buy btw.. im juz asking coz a dear bud of mine is gettin one, never expect people around here 2 be so rude n inconsiderate.. 2 be truthfully honest, i was really shocked 2 read these comments, as i was asking my questions in a very polite n nice manner.. so sad, people these days r so, how shud i put this in a nicer way, 'un-nice'..

nvr thought my very innocent asking would be treated this way.. i thought by asking real owners of the cvt would fruit better understanding 2wards the gb of the car.. well, have 2 be skeptical, as its the 1st time proton's offering cvt in their car.. ok then guys, understood.. thnx very much 4 all the help, especially the TS..

Well, I on behalf of everyone in this thread apologize to you for the rude treatment. The old BLM FC is so bad that once it stretched pages long just to discuss about anything which relates to FC. This make the discussion about FC a bit of a sensitive issue here.

if you want to ask anything about the FLX, you may blast me a PM smile.gif

Make this as my favor to you since both of us has shared much laughter and good times together in FnF all these years.
thnx very much v12.. yeah, indeed gud times.. nvr told u b4, but u r one of the forummers in FnF whose opinions i really take into consideration..

btw, u own a cvt 1.3?? gud then, ill have a source 2 ask..

the old FC was indeed bad, thats y wanna know hows the cvt doin 2 tackle this?? i asked earlier coz u cant really trust wat they stated in the brochures, especially regarding FC.. so from my experience, this sort of matter is best answered by real owners.. thats all, id say my queries were pretty much harmless..

depends on your needs and requirements:
u ned a sedan or smaller car?
fast driver?
budget?
purpose?

CVT does slight jerk during bumper to bumper traffic unless you let it roll instead of stepping the accelerator pedal, new user i advise not to follow too near the front car b4 you get known with the car behaviour.
if cruising on highway, it is buttery smooth as heard on radio..haha..
FC wise, sedan i tink seldom perform better than smaller car i assume. campro IAFM/+ is without vvti, but campro CFE is equipped with vvti+Turbo.
actually he wanted a 2nd hand myvi (the non lagi best), but i suggested him 2 get a new saga instead.. he wants an auto, so the cvt is the only option, or not i wouldve recommended him 2 take a manual.. becoz i see that a car wit a proper boot suits his purpose more.. hes a normal driver, n it would be his 1st car..

well, in the brochure it stated max top speed is 155kph but I did 175kph, so, yeah, the brochure is full of lies. tongue.gif

if your friend is those who drive sensibly, every RM30 of fuel should approximately lasts him around 180-200km. But then, this figure may vary due to road condition, traffic condition and the geography of the road. To sum it all up, it should return almost the same figures as the new Myvi LB.
hahahahha.. 175?? not bad.. hows it feel at those kinda speeds??

sensibly?? not sure, hes the worst driver ive encountered, as in not gud at all.. thats y most of the time he never drives, nobody ever lets him tongue.gif

same sorta figure as LB myvi.. thats ok i guess.. cant wait 2 test his car, coz ive never really had much experience wit cvt's.. the only cvt ive driven b4 was a short drive of a jazz couple of yrs ago..

To be honest i didnt think anyone was being overly harsh towards you, fc is in fact a very sensitive issue in this thread due to it being a dead horse that gets beaten too often. In fact, erica have closed this thread before because of this. You are lucky this is not the inspira thread tongue.gif

And v12k is seldom so nice to people  shakehead.gif  tongue.gif
N me being honest as well, sumthin being sensitive is not a reason 4 u guys 2 bash someone, especially if the sensitive thing is infact the achilles heel of said subject. So, the logic is, if sumthings bad, dont talk bout it??? See how ludicrous that logic is?? Im sori, i juz dont think its rite that way, hence y i was displeased when i was bombarded earlier becoz of that..


Added on January 1, 2012, 6:17 pmV12.. from wat i heard PE manual's FC isnt that bad. Quite ok from a 1.6.

Not that it is banned or avoided, just that it has been discussed many many times, thats why i say beating a dead horse. Evey week someone will come along and ask about fc when the info can be searched due to the countless times it has came up.

Anyway, its a new year. Lets not start the year with bad feelings amongst each other, ok?
I perfectly understand that, but id say the appropriate n considerate thing, is juz 2 tell it nicely. Like i said, im new 2 this thread. Besides the flx cvt is relatively new, so i figured that asking wiuld be better. Sori i was wrong. Ive countered quite a no of other threads asking sumthin thats been asked repeatedly, n most of em didnt bombard noobs. Thats y i was really surprised when i was treated that way. But hey, lets not further this anymore. Like u said, its a new yr, so lets juz bury the hatchet.

On another topic, i really do hope that proton would put a cvt into the persona as well. But i very much doubt they will..

As for cvt in the persona, very unlikely. That may increase the price for persona, possibly overlapping the price for the p3-r1a coming next year.
Yeah.. Thats y i said i doubt very much they will. But juz think how gud the persona would be if they did..

truth being said, the fc topic, true that it has been discussed >9000 times. like i said before, fc depends on yourself 90% of the time. your right foot, driving style, how you maintain your car. the other 10% would be weather n probably traffic situations. everyone keeps asking, but they never bother to read through thoroughly enough. be gentle, you can yield 300-350km a tank. heavy foot, 230-260km a tank. nuff said. i bash not the car, but those who drive the cars thinking they drive sports car? wtf to that. not just myvi i know, even saga and persona has them.
see?? Juz say it nicely like that.. It isnt so hard rite?? No need of the overly sarcastic comments bout myvi. I never at all bash saga, so no need 2 bash wat im driving. Its all gud then, each has its own pros n cons. Thats wat this forums r for, properly discussin wat we all love, the motorcar.. N again, i appologize bout the fc thing. The threads i always hangout r ok wit it, thought its the same here..

if u notice, most saga owner's forumer's are like dat..when talk about myvi, suddenly say crap car, lousy handling, easy to turtle, ah beng car, saga nicer etc2..this can be found in many pages..ive been lurking in both saga and myvi thread , and i can say  i never seen any myvi owner says anything about saga..ohw,BTW, i dont own any myvi as of now..
i agree on that.. When it comes saga owners comments, the word 'turtle' always somehow manage 2 appear in the cnversation. I own a myvi, yes, but those of u who knows me well around here, knows that im a big supporter of proton too. So no bias round here. Thats y when i said i agree on wit megat here, it is no way anythin 2 do wit the fact that i own a myvi.

kalau sekadar nak butthurt over internet remarks, banyak banyak vaseline pun tak cukup pakai.

sometimes, some things are meant just to be taken with a pinch of salt.
not 2 say butthurt, megat n i r juz merely stating an observation.. which i have 2 say, its fair rite??

QUOTE(V12Kompressor @ Jan 1 2012, 09:58 PM)
Some hardcore ICE junkies doesn't log into this forum. The older BLM is easy due to the space in the boot and also the fact that the dashboard can accommodate either a single DIN or a 2-DIN unit without making much customization.

The newer FL/FLX with steering controls however is a bit hard. This was due to the fact that the steering audio control somehow only works only with the stock unit. lol But other things such as wiring, speaker set up, woofer positioning, etc are relatively easy to be done because space isn't much of a concern.
yeah, ive heard also someone saying bout the steering controls, i guess its true then.. but the front speaker panels, they hold 6" speakers, rite??

Your observation has continued to serve you right but may I also point out that the turtle word also pops out at each thread in entire LYN as long as the word Myvi is mentioned.
So do you think it is fair to scapegoat the Saga thread only?
nope.. but u have 2 admit, that somehow the myvi bashing is really nasty in here.. thats all im trying 2 point out.. like i said, i could be wrong, but through my observation, i think i have a point..

QUOTE(V12Kompressor @ Jan 1 2012, 10:19 PM)
I'm not very into ICE and IIRC, it is 6 inch. Throw away the stock one and you can just fit in any component set without much modification done to the speaker panel. However, if one really want superb sound, it is better to bring the speakers further towards the driver/passenger because at the current position, there's a bit interference by dashboard especially when you want to show off the gorgeous speaker mesh grill.

When it comes to sound system, I would say you have to test it out yourself. Bring your favourite album and test it out at the showroom to judge it yourself.

But my manager who drives a F10 BMW 523i did praises the Clarion sound system when I became his "one day" driver when his car has to be sent for a warranty replacement.
i guess its much better than a perodua sound system then.. but even if its not gud, its much better 2 mod than a myvi too..

The advantage of Saga for ICE is large boot, if you dun carry > 3 durians, you can put big sub and amp at behind. Big boot act as speaker box, good for low frequency AKA BASS. I do put 12" at behind, still plenty of space for luggage and, durian. tongue.gif
thats the thing laa.. wit cars wit proper big boots, n can put big subs behind no prob.. cars wit tiny boot, put in a 12" sub, more than half ur luggage space gone..
