elantra 1.8 power output is not 201hp... it is 148hp... but that is nu engine... i dont know what is inside the malaysian version elantra... refer here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyundai_Nu_engine

saga flx 0-100kmh is 2 seconds slower than the preve based on the brochure, 12s in saga against 9.5s in preve..

i feel that the one in the proton's brochure has somewhat underestimate the power of the engine... 9.5s is slower than the lotus neo which is at 9.2s... and i do feel the same with 12s saga flx... maybe they use eco mode on the saga gearbox during the test with translate to the higher time taken to sprint from 0-100kmh...

u need to take account the drag coefficient of the saga and city as well...

eco mode does not mean you have a button on the dashboard... you may only need to press the fuel pedal more to engage sport mode or press it a bit to engage fuel eco mode... since its cvt gearbox...

nway we dont know how they get that... the only way you can know about that is by putting the car side by side and race... there are so many variables... wind, engine oil, fuel type (ron95 against ron100).....

and i cannot find the 11.5s you said in the honda malaysia spec (ckk125)... but by asking google, i found this 11.8s with manual gearbox http://www.oneshift.com/new_cars/car_specs.php?pid=1748

the newest 2011 honda city A is even slower than the 2009 version... 14.7s...

the newest 2011 honda city (A) is even slower than the 2009 version... 14.7s...

i dont know why there are two numbers there for auto although they used the same engine... maybe they mistakenly put the wrong number for 2011 version..

preve takes 9.6s to sprint from 0-100kmh while inspira 2.0 cvt takes more than 10s to do the same speed... unless you are talking about 2.0 inspira manual.. but who will win if the preve gets manual transmission? i guess you guys know that....

you can refer inspira spec sheet here http://www.protoninspira.com/

see here, even bmw 1 series is slower than preve... 9.8s and that is not auto transmission.. but this is the slowest bmw la i think old version summore.. the newest version takes faster than that i think..

where did you get that number? many reviewers say it takes 10.5s for the cvt lancer to achieve 100kmh from standstill while the manual version takes 9.6s...

for the manual version 2.0

from the review, that number might come from the manual version since manual version takes 9.6s 0-100kmh in many other reviews while the one you show takes 9.1s to achive 96.5kmh (or 60mph)...

from the proton edar web, the fuel consumption of preve @90kmh is 6.6l/100km.. i guess the one that they showed with the reviewers is the combined fuel consumption (comparison with model a,b,c,d)...
