edit : oops.. just saw the followup posts... quote the wrong person as well... recommended to use sandisk USB drives..so far so good...but sometimes will go mad... once in a blue moon suddenly it will stop playing and you need to turn off the engine and turn it back on only can read...

Just wondering, those with the 6 speeder, what's ur FC for the 2.0?

I have the 4 speed..and my FC is really madness ... penang driving conditions with a heavy foot as well..i'm only clocking 310-320KM per full tank with Shell and Caltax...BUT... the last tank i reluctantly pumped in Esso (heard its underpowered) but surprise surprise..i clocked a 370km this tank..so i'm going for a round 2...gotta admit the engine is not as eager but its still more than driveable hence i think i'm gonna stick to Esso if its giving good FC from now on...

Hey thanks for the lengthy reply! Yes Shell has been giving crappy FC...i was thinking omg!! what's wrong with my car...290km-300km then dead and engine is coarse when revved...and yes Petronas indeed does exhibit the characteristics you mentioned above..but as petronas is not that readily available around penang island i usually only have shell/caltax/esso to choose from near my area...

i never driven the 6 speed before but honestly 4 speeds are easier to handle should you be driving hard... coz you only need to worry about the 2nd and 3rd gear...i don't know about the 6 speeders but the breakdown for the 4 speeds dragging ability for the 2.0 are somewhere

1st - 55- 60km/h
2nd - 115-120km/h
3rd - 170 - ???? (never did more than that)
4th could be anywhere...hahah

i can't quite remember coz usually when ur dragging you wont' have time to look at the meter so these are just estimates...

on the point where you mentioned it to be more 'engaging', i would think the more gears, the RPM drops every gear and needs to pick up from there again, plus point, smooth transition as the gears will be closely spaced in ratio, but doesn't that drop out of the powerband (eg : 3000rpm onwards the peak of the torque and etc.) its just my opinion, and i would cross reference that with a CVT gbox ( RPM climbs , sticks at the particular range *within the powerband* as speed increases... that kind of thingy... but yes i do understand both gboxs are different...so cannot compare apple to apple

Added on August 12, 2012, 12:23 amno problem, but i heard a friend saying the 2.0's FC is equal to that of an accord, not a civic... but how accurate, wa tak tahu..coz never driven a 2.0 civic or owned one before..

With regards to Ah Bears comments, to add on the 2.0 overtaking 'power' if you own a continental, it behaves in some sort a similar way instead of the urgency you would expect from japanese engines, namely the altis/vios/camry...

its strength lies more on the mid range to the higher range and not so much of its low end torque. I would say its just sufficient for a 2.0 as the other 2.0's I have handled would be the inline 4 perdana and the pickup is wayyyy faster than the Forte's combo.. this is me speaking from the 4 speed box experience
