Very hard to reach 400km on one tank. The fuel drops to the last bar when I reached 288km, but I pressed on to 341.5km smile.gif, it seems that the 1.3-litre FLX is more fuel savvy than 1.6-litre.

That means I too have to send my car to factory to get rid of the annoying vibration noise from left-side dashboard....

I won't put much faith in them making any changes based on your complaint, because these issues are already known to them and if they want to do something about it, they would already have.

Anyway, about the issues you raised:

1. The drumbrake issue has become pretty widespread, and guess what, my third set of drumbrakes are already making sound in less than a month after replacing it. But like I said, Proton knows about it, not sure what they are doing about it.

2. CVT warning. After the rectification exercise for the first batches of FLXs, this should no longer be an issue. That being said, you have to drive it the "right way" so to keep the CVT under normal operation circumstances. I'd like to stress this again, the CVT and the wet clutch was not designed for performance, if you accelerate hard and brake hard frequently, or you like to go 160 kph for long journeys, then honestly you best stay away from the CVT.

3. CVT mounting. As it turns out, the sound from my car was not the CVT mounting. After they replaced my mounting, the sound was still there. V12k and I test drove my car during the last TT and we both share the same suspicion, but I'll wait for the conclusion after my car masuk kilang at the end of this month before I share anymore info.
