i think everyone misinterpret me on that. what i mean is, CVT can work with turbo engine, but they wear out CVT drivetrains more actually, thus your CVT "rosak" more easily compared to normal gears. i actually prefer dual-clutch for force induced engines.
*
the gearbox dun need to know what the engine is doing, it just know the rated input torque, power handling.. if CVT can handle 300-350NM of torque at over 250bhp power, then a turbo engine doing 200NM torque with below 200bhp will not have any problems.. so what is there to worry about wearing out the gearbox? go do engineering, learn about tribology wear n tear stuffs..

price only
experience on driving it = total NIGHTMARE
its not worthed to buy a car solely becuz it has a better 2nd hand price and not having a good driving experience
i dn't know why ppl care so much abt the 2nd hand value while the car itself sarks big time...its just not worthed
*
well if dun even care about value or price, why even sit proton? so good meh?

tot cvt keep the rpm high?
got load or need accelerating, engine rpm high to produce power, when cruising, engine rpm low.. basic concepts of a gearbox

better than toyota
not to say toyota is bad but the local model are really not worthed compare to proton/perodua
paid X2 price but quality is worse than p1/p2
if wan toyota...better buy those japanese model...those are real toyota
the only local toyota model that i see worthed is only hilux but the new hilux isn't as tough as the old ones already...quality dropped
the only downside is the underpower engine but can be compensated with unichip
the other model...totally not worthed
especially avanza....rumors say avanza is design by the accounting department...main purpose is to cut cost and for low income ppl(not really low income in fact)
i sit on avanza be4....NVH way worse than my saga blm...everywhere vibrate....my saga blm doesn't even vibrate....soundproof is on par with saga which doesn't even comes with soundproof
so for a better 2nd hand price...buying an avanza is totally nt worthed at all
*
acterly i have the avanza which i let the mah chai worker use.. biggrin.gif and the blm saga in the house for "chou yeung" rough use..
only thing i complain about the avanza is the rear wheel likes to hop over bumps and high engine rpm at 110kmh..
the blm saga not really that great as well.. somehow not there yet.. quite alot of NVH rough engine, heavy steering , etc..

i see.. but 138hp is soo low to be a burden to cvt btw,
its kinda like low compression turbo only..

yeah torque and power of a 2L engine only, a modern CVT can handle.. biggrin.gif

haha....the NVH rough engine ..like i said...the car doesn't even come with soundproof compare to avanza full soundproof
heavy steering is actually the advantage of proton...or should i say the nature of lotus handling
when u cruise highway..that heavy steering will enable u to drive with 1-2 finger yet car is still so stable
and cornering also very confident
in the other hand...the super soft toyota steering is their weaknesses....when they drive slow or fast also need to hold it tightly with 2 hand..so tight like its going to loss control
if next time u drive european car like merc and BMW...u'll know why...and dnt complain heavy steering at that time

ps: not just toyota, p2 as well cuz they're the same
*
if only blm got super handling due to heavy steering.. sorry but it's not even nearly as stable as my swift at high speed say above 120kmh.. not to mention light steering cars like akod and teana in my garage.. biggrin.gif even my previous conti 407 was not heavy steering..

not to say super handling
just that that heavy steering is better when u drive on highway or high speed...u dn't need to grab the steering so tight
corner is not brilliant but consider very good for that price..and somemore saga's height is quiet high...not really low
i saw alot of toyota and p2 drivers holding their steering so tight with 2 hand when even driving slow
*
light steering at highspeeds, yeah must grip harder.. biggrin.gif but tires play a part also.. even light steering but if you got big and wide tires.. it become super stable..

i wonder wat u talking actually.
swift is double the price of blm.
and even that 1.3 blm can do 170-180 on highway no problem..
noew we got 1.6 flx se summore..
200 is no problem.. biggrin.gif ( bye2 vios.. u can do 170-180 only )
*
we are talking about handling and light/heavy steering comparison not about retail price.. besides the price is 50% more only in malaysia, in global market price, it's the same price segment..
