Try gti or cooper s and u know how well u need to control ur leg. So I don't think this is a safety feature, just the delay of power delivery.

did anyone tested cvt on saga, exora, inspira besides preve. how does it compare to each other? i myself own saga 1.3 cvt.. for iafm+ and saga below 2k rpm enough already although saga is light. when i need power i just fully press pedal and it will shoot to just below 6k rpm if road enough easily hit 160++.. in conclusion if i need power i just hit the pedal till the rpm i want.

reviews from media suggest as above, but from this forum saying below 2k is sluggish.. i'm comparing with my car so easier to understand and also because it's cvt but not turbo la.. else need to test drive it biggrin.gif

if ppl can keeps on looking at rev meter when driving, they should be a racer. i thought proton pluged in a turbo to make the car faster and easy to drive?
*
i did look at the meter display quite a lot esp rev. we still need it eventho some might not look at it while driving.

it suppose to be easy to drive if u know how. it's a new tech which make it into cheap car

yea, but i refuse to believe anyone driving 1.6thp or 2.0tsi or 1.4tsi has to look at the rev meter when they wanna drive their car, unless we're talking about big turbos like in those skylines or evos.

but, i must not comment anymore on the lag or turbo or rev, until i go for a test drive biggrin.gif

but, the only reason i look at my rev meter is because i do not want to harm my cvt, when i am vroom vroom.
*
got the fella above biggrin.gif
as mugenz mention because turbo torque comes at certain rpm. if NA then no problem, even if it comes with cvt

we comparing the technology la kawan..

if u say golf/polo/308T where it works just like CFE technology of preve.. nobody compare it overall car vs overall car.


Added on April 18, 2012, 10:35 am

if u do some adjustment to the CFE lag problem. If stock CFE lag + CVT lag = really hard time..
*
seems no one really bothered about interior anymore, handling, braking.
major concern: cfe + cvt drivebility

er....nope, cvt wont roll back.

i hit a car on a slope, when my car is full of ppl.

engaged in D, did not pay attention, so i din press the brake hard enough.

slowly kissed the car in front.....and pay a small fee.
*
it depends on the cvt calibration. if from creeping then hit brake and release brake without throttle, it will roll back, so it is safer to apply handbrake here. that's from my saga (punch) cvt experience

hah? no need handbrake la.. u must know ur car well.. release the brakes and accelerate abit. u should know the behaviour of your car of how much to step so it will maintain..

Easily to drive like this but con is consumes fuels hahahahahahaa
*
mybe i explained it wrong. because with at on a slope without throttle it won't roll back, so with clutch based cvt, if u brake and release throttle too quickly expecting the car to hold on the slope, it will just slide down. if u press throttle it'll surely hit car in front if it close enough. other way is to wait 1 sec or more then it will move on it's own forward on a slope without pressing throttle brows.gif it is what the punch guy said at autoworld forum

QUOTE(klow @ Apr 18 2012, 11:39 AM)
If the engine is powerful then it will not roll back but not all engine that powerful. That's why the tech "Hill-start assist". For normal car, it shall roll back.
*
it has something to do with cvt. to understand further:

QUOTE
1) I notice that exora bold still roll back on even slight /gradual slope(not-too-steep slope). Normal auto gear vehicle only will roll back when the slope is too steep, if it is not steep enough, it's will lock at there. Is there anyway to make CVT lock it when reach slight/gradual slope? It is kinda dangerous esp for new driver.
You are correct. This is a know "issue", but is a design feature actually. Two things contribute to this:
First thing is what we call idle neutral, unlike all regular older AT's that have a constantly dragging torque converter or clutch, we open our clutch (a wet clutch, more pressure = more drag, even more pressure closes it) almost completely when you are pressing the brake and standing still. this way fuel is saved. If you release the brake a little time is needed to apply pressure to our clutch again. that is when you roll back a little, rollback only occurs on hills steeper than 10%.
secondly the engine cannot deliver a lot of power idling, when aircon is on, heavy car, on a hill, we can start closing the clutch in order not to roll back, but that will cause the engine to stall. When you apply trottle you will notice first the clutch opens a little bit so engine revs up, than we start closing the clutch, during revving up, you can encounter rollback.

What to do? use handbrake in stead of brake, this way we not shift to neutral (we only read regular brake signal not handbrake), use enough trottle, this way the engine produces engough power to close the clutch in one move.

The steel part macam tercungkil keluar . Looks pretty buruk. If u spend tonnes of cash on a car u expect it to be kind of refine also. My Perdoua Myvi doesnt have this.

preve door assembly different to other proton like saga and persona.

i wonder how much it cost to make it better in terms of cosmetic? probably not worth to be taken into production?

Fact is fact.  Proton is nothing but a low end car manufacturer that can sell to poor malaysian who have no choice because imported are make artificially expensive so proton can sell.

say that to someone who bought a proton as another car besides their other expensive car, just because proton's maintenance is cheaper, while also offer spacious cabin and boot + good handling

Wow, and yet the reviews in Paul Tan still mention the audible engine noises on the car. I guess it's not thick enough. Still, it's better than nothing, I guess.

Does that appear on the IAFM+ version as well?

can't confirm on that, this is on premium preve

the point here is that proton still produce low quality parts/material and etc whatsoever to their product..nothing change much ..in fact proton preve is a newly published car not yet even on the road... doh.gif

we cannot simply 100% blaming the tester..but need to looks in detailed on the problematic parts..
*
ok, so if u drive a proton u should sell it coz its low quality part. if u r not, tell that to ur fmly or relatives if any.

i can't comment anything on the picture coz i don't know what happens, i'm not speculating. unless i have credible source. else people will just accept what i say coz that's the way people are, spreading gossips

No one was injured.
Dealership owns the car, and it was out on a test drive when spontaneously the rear (around the DR tire) burst into flames.
Lamborghini is still figuring out what happened."

description tell us that this unit burns and they also didnt know what actually happens..shit happens,and we also cant expect that kind of thing happens..im not biased and not proton side too...just to mention,shit happens anywhere...

on the fact of supercars, their engine produce a lot of heat, that's why easily burn if not properly handled. imagine driving a supercar on a hilly residential with manual, sure clutch will burn also.

but i believe people will forgive it, coz the owner must be rich, no problem getting a new one and in turns they actually hv a great performance
