4-2-1:
Enter KESAS from Kota Kemuning and accelerate all the way till 180kmh. Drive sedately after passing by Kewajipan tol (120-140kmh). Abt 5-6 km after Kewajipan toll, fuel bar drop a bar.

Bro, how much the cvt oil for saga cost aa?
*
i think is 30 or 40bucks per L
I pernah ask at parts Center Glenmarie one but forgotten. >.<

The oil change interval is longer than regular AT oil change. every 60k km if I am not mistaken.

Orly?.. Have u done your 20k km service? How much was it?
*
havent yet. 19,8xx km only. No time to service.

It should be ard Rm 300+-, coz 20k km oni regular service + change spark plugs and brake fluid for me.

as a frequent h/w traveller, CVT is really economical in both short and long term run. it saves fuel and yet the fluid change interval is longer and not to mention smooth ride. the downside is, modification limitation. I heard in the Preve, there's a sensor that limits the torque in order to protect the CVT from going wonky. Wonder is that same sensor is employed in the VT2 also or not. hmm.gif

There's a SAT button there beside the gear lever, what's that for?

to emulate 6 speed driving feel. The gearbox will give artificial gear shifting feel.

Other than that? Couldn't just be for 'feel' purpose only maa.. There must be a technichal purpose for that..

seriously, its just for the feel...

coz the flexibility of CVT is you can choose whichever rpm you wish to travel at, so if you encounter a boy racer viva bwang bwang at a set of traffic light next to you on the road and you need the full acceleration, you just tarik to 4,000rpm and let all 120Nm of torque sent to the wheel. If there's a steep incline which need to climb, just push to "L" and the ratio will be adjusted to the shortest ratio and engine rpm raise more even with slight touch of the throttle and this makes hill climb effortless.

ya, but the difference is, my L gear can still go up to 140km/h whereas L gear in a Totota Vios can go up to 30kmh only. tongue.gif

Orly? Wow.. That's something new..

put it simple term, the CVT is capable of becoming two different gearbox.

put in D, and it behaves like a normal gearbox, with acceptable acceleration and top speed limited by the engine capacity.

put in L, and it turns into a close ratio gearbox, just to push acceleration and sacrifice top speed in the process.

*
performance quite oklah, for a 1.3L car. Can climb to 110kmh effortlessly. The only issue is the horn switch always burn... doh.gif doh.gif. AN issue inherited fromt he Saga BLM. ABS system works fine so far... Saved me from rear ending an X-Trail on PLUS two weeks ago. hmm.gif
