Actually u can call the showroom b4 going...they might have some ready stok or waiting to be passed over mica grey

Hi......i drive a manual mirage.......i manage to get 17km/l manually counted on full tank. Based on my odo meter i get usual readings of 18km/l and without aircon i can get 20km/l...btw this is city drive not highway... (30 km traveled one way) I passed lost count of traffic lights.. From my experience from gear 1 to 3 try to change gear before 2k ...but do not change gear at very low rpm before gear 3 cause i notice underpower gear makes ur engine consumes more fuel. Average drive below 100kph will give u better FC than above 100kph... From my experience driving above 70 will give good fc on manual... Before reaching each stop usually i will free the gear to N and let it rolls to the point i have to break.. U don need the gear on since u r stopping right.... When u want to move on 1st gear try to let ur car roll a bit by realeasing lil bit of gear so the car can roll before you accelerate.... With this you don have to accel hard. And the clutch is good in mirage cause its light and its easily controlled i can use gear 1 even without stepping the clutch after gear change..oil control pedal very good control too.... One more thing i noticed that on gear 4 mainting rpm 1.5k give good fc don have to purposely change to gear 5 for lower fc cause this makes ur engine shivers on the underpower which consumes more fuel.... But u do need to change to gear 5 for higher speeds....

Fyi...... Rpm levels on CVT N manual is different

Mine manual too

Basically 100 kph at approx 3k......

Yup.. Agree edison manual lain cerita.....hehe....whole diff story somore....u wan power......take manual lo...... Can rev and still achieving good fc....... But round 16 - 17 km/ l

Funny thing is this is wat i tought at the first place....MT saves more fuel...then after joining the club and do comparison seems CVT saves more fuel but for CVT the driver makes big diff in FC...... Some drivers don really get better FC than me (MT) some CVT driver get very very good FC (unbelievable result)..... But i believe if u wanna feel pick up (power) u can choose MT and i feel even if i rev my MT i doesnt change much of the FC but does cost a lilttle more.... But clutching is tired work if ur place very jam...i stay in ipoh so i don mind...hehehe and i'm used to driving MT...my last car was a wira 1.5 and i rev a lot....so quite satisfied to MT so i can continue reving the car heheheh

And MT is definietly cheaper in maintaining ...u can see the diff in the service and labor charges... But it does need parts to be replaced such a clutch pad, etc etc.....me no mechanic don wan tunjuk pandai pandai hehehe..... That's my story
