Not really, US consumers are becoming more conscious about rising fuel prices as well, that's why a lot of compacts and sub-compacts are doing well there. The Mirage selling point of great fuel economy plays to that trend, it's just a matter of how Mitsu plans to market and price it against it's rivals since Mitsu cars aren't exactly selling well there right now, in fact there have been rumors that they might follow the footsteps of Suzuki hmm.gif

want to ask something abt proton's CVT or any other CVT
when u stopped @ traffic light pressing the brake(fully)...no change to N, still in D
will the CVT stop itself?
my meaning of stop itself mean that even if u release the brake pedal slowly...it won't even move(as if its in N)
cuz the mirage CVT...when fully stop at traffic light...when i release 80-90% of the brake pedal...it still doesn't move
it will only start moving after i fully release the brake
*
Haha I didn't pay attention to this so I can't remember, I'll see if I can get any FLX CVT owners to answer you.

I do know the Fiesta's clutch will move the car even if the brake pedal is not 100% released.

yeah...know that...my saga 4AT as long as its still in D
the gear will constantly move...u release abit of the brake pedal also it will move
this i think they did something to it...that once u press like "certain amount" of second of the brake after fully stop...the gearbox seem stopped automatically
even i released 90% of the brake pedal...nothing happen..no movement..only when i fully release it...only it will move
something like AS&G but this is gearbox

Here are the replies from the Saga members

i have tried it few days back my FLX SE will move when i release my brake even a little bit from fully press. I believe by doing this will harm our brake pad also the clutch i guess, any anyone correct me? icon_question.gif  I did this is just to ans my own curiosity haha because previously Im manual driver ma  biggrin.gif

QUOTE(blau-saga @ Dec 29 2012, 09:53 PM)
from my observation, at least the clutch will be released slowly even if u fully release the brake or not, that's without pressing accel, for certain angle of slope it will hold the car still
*
QUOTE(BahWanG @ Dec 29 2012, 10:10 PM)
Saga one the moment you release brake, it will start creeping instantly if the car is on a flat road.. On upwards slope, it will rollback a bit before the creeping function gains full power to creep the car upwards. Downwards slope, no need to say la. use logic. lol 

release a bit of brakes = creep slower lo.

On a side note, never let the car to creep upwards without any throttle. Doing so will grant you a toasted clutch.

BTW, were you on a flat ground? will it roll backwards on a slope if you release the brakes to 80-90%?

yes..i was on flat ground
might find some slope and test it next time
becuz i drove my saga 4AT..i know that @ D...even fully press the brake..the transmission still working...so release abit still move
this one have to release full only like activates back

There will be differences on how they work, Proton's CVT is clutch-based whereas Mirage's is torque converter based. The clutch will open when the brake is pressed, but the torque converter is always connected unless it is in N or P.

I don't know why the Mirage won't move without the brakes fully released, maybe the brakes work like N and disconnects the gearbox from the torque converter to save fuel. hmm.gif and when the brakes are released, it shifts back into D sweat.gif

Last time I personally went to the branch (Zurich, formerly MAA) to cancel my policy, they terus give me a letter that states the insurance is canceled and in another page states the amount of NCD accumulated.

I just hand over that particular page to my SA, he kawtim in less than a month.

LOL, your friend very funny
your myvi turtle already, this car also won't turtle
turtle is becuz of handling and center of gravity
this car have some great handling
that day there was some dead animal on the middle of the road, have to take a hard left to the left lane suddenly
did it and it handled very well
if it was myvi, i think turtle already
the spring can be changed, its purpose is for comfort
everyone know saga have exceptional handling but do u know its original spring also super soft?...when got rear passangers, the spring will sag
only in facelift like saga FL and FLX, proton change the spring to harder spring
but that sacrifice the comfort level as well
*
+1

Soft springs alone don't cause turtle, poorly proportionate design does.

Hi V12,

Thanks for replying, yup im using manual transmission and here in my place the lowest is Octane93 mix with 10%bio-ethanol, hmm so all of you guys are using octane 95? are those pure or with mix too?, i like to try the octane 95 but would like to see inputs here if 93 to 95 really makes a big impact on fc.

Thanks bro.

Can't really tell you any difference since the lowest RON grade here is RON95.

Local cars ie Proton & Perodua are all given higher interests rates around 2.7% - 3.0%, compared to foreign brands which typically hover between 2.4%-2.5%.

Buy the car you want, not what your friends/family want. You're the one paying for it.

Just do your own research and decide for yourself.
