QUOTE(tunertoobe @ Sep 7 2006, 09:08 AM) The Savvy one is also a sequential right? Up/down for upshift/downshift? Sequential in quick succession. It 's possible with AMT. Guys check and compare the PRICE of PROTON's torque converter with AMT gearbox...you will be shocked to death. |

H&T on Savvy AMT is easier, only got 2 pedals to work on
 . The vibrations on the Savvy gearknob is due to rod-linkage system being used which is directly connected to the transmissionas. Many other compact cars use cable-actuated shift mechanism. Rod-linkage is more sturdy built. When you feel the vibrations, you will feel like the car is alive and pulsating. You can feel the car passionately. |

I think we can put the gear to neutral from any gear in AMT. Just flick the gear lever to either left or right. But dunno leh cos I've never driven one.. |

well u need to compare and see urself why is the hoohahype about some particular model.. does it really liveup to its reputatatin.
You need to change the gear to neutral when stopping ( ie. traffic lights) the transmission fault lamp will lit on as the transmission in D will keep searching for a correct gear even you pressing brake..it's unlike conventional auto you can stop in D. If u press brake, it will automatically downshift for you...AMT is like brake-activated transmission system too where brake n the trans are related to each other. |

QUOTE(goldfries @ Sep 17 2006, 07:52 PM) what other one? today i've come to a conclusion that Myvi is not what i want - other than space that is. Glad you will be choosing one..I know how u felt too when I first test drove many cars before settling down on Savvy...every type of car has its own personality just like humans.1. the 1.3AT Myvi is known to be underpowered. 2. the 1.3AT Myvi is more expensive that 1.2 AMT Savvy 3. the manuals are out of my choice since i want something that's Auto 4. Savvy has nice FC but i've not heard that for 1.3AT Myvi ok la lazy to list all - or else AT vs AMT discussion will become why i choose Savvy discussion. btw the Savvy, i like the AMT manual mode best. feels like driving in NFS:MW cos i play all NFS games using manual. and even since NFS2, the gear shifts has always been sequential. so to me, it's not a problem - let's just hope i don't enter blacklist la. |
