Nope, I never said that. I only said "sounds like a supercharged car" because the whine is incredibly loud.

if you're expecting it to fly like an airbus A380, then it can't. It's just a Saga
if you're expecting it to touge as good as lets say, a Mazda MX-5, then it can't. It's just a Saga
if you're expecting it to sprint and corner as brutal as a Nissan GT-R, then it can't. It's just a Saga

It's just a Saga. biggrin.gif

Just came back from a leisurely drive up and down Genting, the first time with my Gaga.

All I can say is, if the benefits of CVT are not apparent on flat level roads, it will become delightfully clear going up steep hills like ones you find in Genting. Note that I've never driven a 1.3 FLX before, so I can't compare, but driving my 1.6er up was truly a joy. Going up moderate gradients, I couldn't feel any difference and there were little to no deceleration. In fact, I was accelerating past most cars.

At steeper slopes such as those after Gohtong Jaya that I needed to slow down due to tight left hand turns just before the slope, I understand why V12k keep mentioning the using the L gear is like driving a supercharged car. I overtook 2 cars on my way up one particular slope!!  blink.gif  blink.gif My GF commented "wah you L gear so powderful!"  rclxms.gif Those same slopes would strike fear in my heart when I drove my sister's Vios.

An old gen Myvi (presumably 1.3l) tried to tiong me while I was attacking that slope, dunno WTF he was thinking. Once in L gear, in a blink of an eye he become a dust speck in my rear view mirror. Then there is the aunty driving a Civic crossing lanes in turns like she owns the farking road.  vmad.gif  vmad.gif

Going downhill was pleasant as well as there is no jerking. The engine braking was smooth, but because I was with my GF, I didn't drive too fast.

By comparison, the Vios would jerk up and down uphill AND downhill, and sorely underpowered. In fact, I saw a few dugongs climbing with their windows opened, while I kept my aircon on both on the way up and on the way down.

In a nutshell, it was a satisfying drive, and I am pleasantly surprised how well my humble Gaga performed today.  thumbup.gif  thumbup.gif

I've been reading quite a bit about strut bars before and after ordering. It seems that you can only feel the difference with a rear one when you're racing hardcore on the track.
