Either can try Archilles ATR Sport, Michelin PS3 or Bridgestone Adrenalin RE-002. xshiro's recommendation of Falken 912 is better in terms of ride silence.

QUOTE(trent666 @ Mar 21 2012, 08:19 PM) ANOTHER OBSERVATION ON CVT 1.3 FLX hehe, nice observation-- Scenerio 1 Drive to a steep slope (e.g. Slope on multi story carpark) and let go of the throttle midway. Effect 1 Your car SHOULD not roll backwards -- Scenerio 2 In Scenerio 1, depress the brakes and let go. Effect 2 Your car SHOULD roll backwards -- Scenerio 3 As your car roll backwards on Scenerio 3, engage the handbrake and come to a complete stop*, and then release the handbrake. Effect 3 Your car should not roll backwards. *I do not recommend engaging handbrake on a moving vehicle. This WILL cause damage. --- Conclusion: 1. It would appear that the was designed to prevent a backward roll in D-mode if you are on a (not too steep) slope. 2. However, the brake pedal is programmed to disengage the engine braking feature. I'm not sure how this is really useful. There are some applications of course. I'm also not sure if it will cause damage to your engine since it is on D-mode. 3. The handbrake induces the anti-reverse feature on D-mode. I think this is a good idea. 4. The above features which I have discovered are not covered in the manual. I hope our members can post more observations of the CVT, which as I have pointed out in an earlier post, is rather different to traditional AT.

QUOTE(Nooby Lim @ Mar 22 2012, 12:11 AM) fuel consumption of 1.3 seems nt consistent? 1.6 ismore fuel efficient? 1.6 cc shud b higher in fuel consumption theoretically.. theretically, you're right. But actually, it can be better, if not the same with a 1.3 FLX. Why? Because both engine ( 1.3 and 1.6) hauls the same body with about the same weight and automatically the 1.6 is more fuel efficient because it need the lesser "effort" to lug the heavy body around. Added on March 22, 2012, 12:14 amand not to mention, 1.3 has the manual or CVT option and so far for the 1.6, all on the road is CVT variant.

QUOTE(huzaifa136 @ Mar 22 2012, 10:23 AM) that DWEBBB is mine 11km/l mostly town drive vs my 12km mostly highway drive.currently not so good around 11km/l.. almost town drive. highway and long journey is much better. not consistent mybe because town drive and 1.3, i tends to rev higher esp on hilly road and after traffic light. another thing to consider is when i refill petrol, it might not totally full, hence calculation not fully reliable. how i wish we hv onboard fc info and yes 1.6 cvt might be better. 1.6 manual seems to be the same as 1.3 cvt of worst depends on driver. Now that is actually impressive. |

QUOTE(uncleben @ Mar 23 2012, 07:29 PM) altho i got something to ask all sifus here.. the only thing separating the engine with outside world is only a thin layer of metal which is your hood. Furthermore the newer FLX/FLX SE doesn't come with engine cover and this creates more opportunity for the metal to absorb all the heat produced from the engine.is it normal that the whole engine compartment is hot after a short drive? even the bonet stand also cnnt touch coz too hot.. |

QUOTE(ibnuasad @ Mar 24 2012, 08:16 PM) ss13 pj SC allows bringing own oil without voiding warranty? you can bring your own oil and your warranty isn't void. But if there is anything happen to the engine, there are chances that Proton can put the blame on the "unauthorized engine oil". So, in the end, it depends on how you argue/ask for leniency.In the service invoice, they got state you bring own oil? |
