What about after 5 years.

Will it overheat going up to genting or Cameron like the Passat recently

DCT with 5 years unlimited mileage warranty is a bold statement from proton

no DCT ever lasted 5 years without any mechanical problem before

Still it remains to be seen how reliable it is.

Ppl in Malaysia keeps the cars for more than 10 years.. Some wira already approaching 20 years

Really doubt DCT can last so long

1. cars nowadays are never meant to last long, the lifespan is just gonna get shorter and shorter as times goes
else how do they maintain the company afloat
2. no DCT right now ever lasted even 3 years without any problems before
so that's why i saw 5 years unlimited warranty is a very bold statement

the only real competitor right now is the DCT inside the honda city hybrid, i didn't follow them so am not sure if their DCT encounter any problems yet

As if punch CVT can last long

punch CVT sucks in terms of usage
but it doesn't mean it's unreliable

people don't like it is because it doesn't work like other japanese CVT
but nobody doubted it's reliability yet

Gone are the days of the Nissan Sunny 130y lasting 30 years and more

The CVT seems fairly robust in the Saga/Persona, but the ones paired to CFE turbo engines did have severe issues from what I have seen and heard.

it may have been it's over the torque limit

from what i remember, the GB's limit for torque and the number of torque the engine produce is very near
not yet included the aftermarket mods that some drivers did to increase torque
