4b11 has the mivec, which in toyota lingo, dual vvti, but town drive can get around 10km/l only.

i mean come on la, you buy new car, and drive below 2k rpm only ?

r u serious?

i mean like spend 70k on a new car, of coz you have to fully "ultilise" it, in term of RPMs. brows.gif

otherwise why not just buy perodua Viva? certified fuel efficient car.

so why not tell us your Saga CVT fuel comsumption?

in term of RM0.xx/km?

so easy to compare and contract.

tq.

even 1.6A waja i think is around RM0.20/km for city drive, right? hmm.gif

Well that's your choice, not everyone buy this car to go vroom vroom. You think every person who bought a Civic 2.0 wants to go chase down every car on the road? some just want a comfortable, stable ride.

This car gives you the option of either driving it like a 1.6 or driving it like a 2.0 (At least in urban roads). It's up to you whether you wanna drive it economically or tekan all the way.

And you are comparing the Preve with the Viva, Waddd??

And if you must know, my latest fuel up is 17sens/km.

yup, cfe just an old junk with old tech. Mivec, vtec n vvti are really uptodate engine. Thats why its so lame for vw when lancer launch with 4b11 with mivec technology, vw still using outdated ea113 without incorporate variable valve tech where the japs n koreans been using them for centurty(i think :-),he..he..), n recently ea888 has that, but then its too late, the japs already come out with valvematic. Direct injection is old tech, turbo also old. Only vtec, vvti, mivec@valvematic are the uptodate n latest tech :-).

Couple with old easyu 32 bit torque based ecu, where all japs n koreans been using in their cars for century. And using old cvt tech, where others are using torque converter based, dry clutch based, this punch using wet clucth based which is outdated. Same as old getrag manual gearbox, better stick to mitsu who is the maestro creating mivec for engine, so, gearbox must be full of awesomeness too.

Dun worry, prtn wont surpass them. Keep using the updated tech. No need to look at old junk euro 5 engine :-). Its nothing.

RM0.17/km for your SAGA? shocking.gif

1.3Auto or manual? or 1.6???

then how much you predict for PREVE?

RM0.20/km?? hmm.gif

Why peopel keep insist using RM to calculate FC... use liters lah...

How peopel know you using what Ron95 or 97?

U use liters peopel 10 yrs later come check thread also can use the info no matter what is the current petrol price in the world.

Yea I can give my figures in km/l, l/100km or what not. But ppl ask me in money terms ma, if I don't answer like that ppl say me no respect him how?

i believe it depends on how you drive. my old 12 years waja gets about 12.0 km/ l which is about 8.5L/ 100KM, plus it is a auto

that was why i was wondering how come CFE cannot do better?
*
Because your Waja is not Campro tongue.gif

You figures are quite good. I use to drive a 2001 Waja auto, and I could manage 9-10 km/l at best.

while fc depend on right foot, the correct way of driving also influence ur fc. If u drive cvt like normal auto
, maybe u end up bad fc. If u take advantage of cvt characteristics, then, maybe u end up for better fc.

Like 4g18 in waja, the torque max at 2700rpm, town driving has better torque than campro engine,while hitting the dark spot on campro,really causing it having bad fc.

Not saying cfe @ iafm+ the best, but combo with cvt n 32bit torque based ecu, it is currently the best for prtn interm of balancing out power n fc.

Its main focus is more smooth power delivery rather than outright power. Efficient driving not only save fc, but give u the right power. In mixed mode, iafm+ 1.3 in saga may give u around 7.6+-L/100km n iafm+ 1.6 just around 8+-L/100km, depend on how u driving it. While preve being heavier, iafm+ just returning nearly the same as cfe in mix mode, but not really that much compare to flx se. That is the wonder of cvt, its tcu adapts itself according to weight, meaning the ratio, that being advantage of any cvt. Thats why the century sprint is not much differ that flx se.

If using old 4at,then it will be bad. Thats why in prius or even insight, they have eco mode driving aid, so that u can achieve better fc by controlling ur throttle. Its a good add if prtn add in its line coz its aid us to be coutious in driving,while saving fc n save the environment too.

No la, if you buy turbo must floor it wan. CVT run at 2k RPM? ptui. Campro CFE good FC? pfftt. rolleyes.gif

Wrong perception of "Rich people dont care how much they spend". Infact wealthy people care MORE on what they spend, how did u think they get rich in the first place?

QFT.

Those "rich people" that you see spending money like flowing water most likely are spending someone else's money, eg. their parent's.

dares: you 3 month review on saga flx don't sound good le. doesn't really instill confidence in preve. you mention they tweak the suspension harder in favor of better handling at the expense of comfort, then something about the cvt mounting, rear brake drum that takes several weeks to rectify and the usual quality issue like rattling... doh.gif
*
It is what it is. blush.gif

Don't get me wrong though, it can be a fun car to drive with the S4PH + CVT combo, and without the burden of RM1k/month installment at the back of your head when you drive it. It is still, IMO, the best spec car sub RM50k.

That being said, it is again done in by poor QC. None of them affect the driveability of the car, it just annoys the hell outta me. That's why I am still waiting to see if there are any improvements on Preve in this aspect.

Yea, the ride is pretty harsh for a family car, but I have gotten used to it.
