You know, I'm really interested in test-driving a manual FLX to get the Getrag feel and ratios...

Getrag is the manufacturer of your manual gearbox. The FL use an Aichi Kikai gearbox, which I think has pretty horrible feel. Your FLX Getrag gearbox should have much better feel, better tuned ratios and it's supposedly more efficient too.
Yes the CVT's highest ratio seems a lot higher than 5th gear. Yet despite that I don't see any indication that the CVT is noticeably more efficient on the highway compared to the manual tranny despite the engine turning slower. A while ago we were discussing how consumption is not always related to engine rev, and that it's best that the correct gearing be used. Bearing in mind that the FLX's VT2 has already been tuned to the engine output characteristics, could it be that at the CVT's highest ratio, the savings by the low RPM is negated by the lower torque output so the engine has to work just as hard to push the car at 110 km/h, resulting in similar consumption as the manual tranny?
If so, I can say as such. At 110 km/h, the CVT has lower RPM resulting in less engine noise. The manual tranny is buzzing at 3,500 RPM, so it's noiser, but at that range, the throttle response for overtaking is excellent. I haven't driven the CVT on the highway so I can't say about that.
PS I think Getrag makes manual trannies for Porsche so I guess it must be really good

Yup, lower RPM does not necessarily mean save fuel especially during uphill drive.
Getrag does produce gb for Porsche

what is the differences? fc? power?
just now rev my car till 5k so syok maa..but i think fc no so good..
FC confirm very high...this week I heavy footed, 260km only 1 bar left
