What overheat first? gearbox or engine? both are very different issues with different solutions.

Because your relative car overheat doesn't mean yours will overheat, and the truth is I don't remember any FLX owners on this thread encountering overheat issues (yet), so there really is nothing to prevent other than following your scheduled maintenance and don't mod your car.

Understood. Because I'm still yet to get my new car after made my booking more than a month ago. So, start to worry about this and that... sh*t

lol why worry so much. If rosak the claim warranty la

How to enjoy your car la like that....not yet get car already worry

Then you will be more worry if i list down all the potential problem here...

So like what i said, dun over worry about that.

We have a legendary overheat BLM at this thread before. Instead of stop using local car, that madman even go bought another FLX SE for his 2nd car, what so scary??

newbie is likthat, waiting for car so long and worrying for the issues at the same time... @@

Gearbox and engine got 3 years warranty, relax...

Drive an overheat Saga for 1 year, then go and buy another Saga

Do I need to wait for the car to warm up before drive?

No.

Better idle for at least 1 minutes before drive off, let the engine oil circulate well inside the engine, u will feel much smoother if you do so.

If you engine has morning sickness ie: semput semput when shift into D in the morning, then wait for about 30 secs to one minute before shifting into D / R.

I would believe your relative is engine overheat. FLX CVT not heard of any CVT overheating.
CVT issues were widely known on honda engines, including jerking and gearbox not engaging. but this does not seems to happen on saga. Even subaru and nissan using CVT also don't hear much about CVT issues.
To warm up or not is up to each person. But for me I would start the car in the morning and wait for a minute before driving off, else the engine will be very jerky, will warm up even longer if it is a colder morning or it rained in the night.

Define semput semput. I bet he will ask.

Jerky like TFK.

explained below

Exactly. Especially FLX missing warm up modules in the ECU program. Even my BLM with warm up module still can feel the jerky if i straight drive off. Usually morning, open house doors, start engine, close all the door locks already took me around 1 minutes, that time engine temp should be 2 bars adi, drive off buttery smooth.

5MT become CVT liao

Define TFK, this time i want to know.
