The main weakness of the fofi (or any non-CVT AT cars) stems from accelerating uphill after slowing down (for example, after a U turn), the slow downshift is really frustrating and that's where the CVT really shines.

However, if given an alternate circumstance that allows me to maintain speed during corner (mainly, if my gf is not screaming murder brows.gif  brows.gif ), it should perform significantly better.

But it still maintains the CVT has a more comfortable uphill performance, but the Fofi has better handling.

thats why when i fnf to genting i always didnt bring any gf or frens with me. its really nice when you drive alone.

the time when you attack corner eventho ur car stock. our flx and cvt gearshift its really great!

each time i pump petrol to full (or trying to) usually just wait for the pump to stop itself, right? but the fuel gauge still shows 1 empty bar on top. is this normal?

ANYWAY, was talking about my genting run earlier today driving my fofi.

The short conclusion is : The FLX SE with CVT would bungkus the Fofi.

Even with a 6-spd dual-clutch gearbox, the Fofi still can't beat the CVT's effectiveness at delivering torque. Although not as bad as a 4AT, it will still shift up and down the gears and the downshifts are pretty slow and clumsy. Even with superior NVH, it was still not very comfortable because of the gear hunting.

On level road city drive, the Fofi is a better drive, but suffers from jerky gear hunting when climbing hills. The Gaga wins hands down in this aspect.

This really make me think twice about selling the Gaga.

wow i just read someone posted this ins a thread about FLX fuel confumption: see below... true???

"If anyone still reading this thread.
Those that is having high fuel consumption @240KM for RM45-50 RON95, just go to proton SC and tell them this.

My son flx is also having this but after telling the SC, they did some tuning to the PS, and now its about RM0.15-RM0.18 highway/city driving. Before it was RM0.20-0.22 per km which is more than my german car.

BUT you will lose the pickup speed in the city.

I believe most of the FLX is delivered to customers with a 'sport mode' setting. Mine has a fast acceleration from standstill before but now its not, pickup from standstill a bit smooth but not quick. Anyway, tell them your normal route is highway or city, then they will do the adjustment."

my orang miskin car today buat emergency brake at Jalan Tun Razak

interestingly, I discovered something new...

The moment I applied the brakes fully pedal to the metal, the rpm instantly drops to 500rpm, engine got quiet and the car magically stops (safely) and the moment the car comes to a complete halt, the engine just fires up again to 1,500rpm and the result is, nice noise coming from the back of my orang miskin car.

yes. The only way to fill it to the brim is to wait till the petrol tank vomits.
