i hope Preve can climb up genting with less struggle...can maintain better RPM...less than 2000RPM is really hard...very slow...like turtle...with turbo...i think it should be no problem...

The only problem that i'm worried is if the uphill driving in mess traffic jammed.

Is the cvt reliable?

Agree. Sounds troublesome when drive uphill. Must maintain rpm above 2k.

Any cvt driver experience like this before?
*
It's maintain speed above 10kmh if on an uphill coz the clutch isn't fully engaged if it's less than 10kmh. Think of the days when you used to drive a manual lol. And don't care what car, if you're climbing up genting, your rpm will definitely be above 2k anyway

This i also wanna know. i can now accept the car quality as it is.. But now wanna know the FC and reliability.
The initial tes drive car in terengganu punya CVT sudah caput and replaced already.

will the car move in d mode without pressing the pedal? if yes, then how to stop it using hand brake in order not to open the clutch(make it remain close)?

it'll move slowly..not as much as normal gearbox.. i dont know..i find this "feature" a bit of a hassle.

if i stop the car using hand brake just for the sake to keep the cluth closed while even it is moving slowly in d mode, dont you think it is bad habit for ensuring reliability of the gear box?

Does CVT heat more easily than conventional auto gearbox?

Early gen Lancer GTs got tons of heating issues..


Added on April 24, 2012, 11:38 pm
so whats the advantage of that..

CVT overheats easier than AT, yes. but most CVT drivetrains come with cooling systems.

Anyway, for discussion sake, say your engine peak torque is at 4k rpm. In a ATand MT drivetrain, you cannot stay at peak torque because your RPM goes up and down as your speed increase while you traverse the gears.

A CVT allows you to stay at 4k RPM as your speed increases, maximising acceleration and efficiency.

early batch lancers dont have those cooler la. Thats the cause of heating issue. Proton solved this by putting coolers on the inspira. Glad to know that preves also have them.

Just do like you would manual car

Press brake to stop.

When ready to move, pull handbrake, release footbrake.

Wait for clutch to close, release handbrake while pressing throttle.

Sounds like a lot, needs some getting used to, but it is worth it. Dun worry la, it is not that bad la...

Remember to tell them to be caution when crossing junction road...
The car will not get immediate response and pickup to cross to the opposite road... ask them to be careful! sweat.gif
When I test drove the car, that almost make me panic as the car crawl slowly in the middle of the junction while the car from the main road almost reach me~ sweat.gif

Anyone actually tried Preve's car horn? (not the horny ok? whistling.gif )
I remember when I test it, I need to press quite hard for it to make a sound! Not a big problem, but just not so good lar.... sweat.gif
