I remember, for small car, Honda City was one of the earliest to use CVT. At the time, many people say.....hard to repair....not reliable etc.

Now, CVT is so comon.

Geely isn't the 1st with DCT and DCT have been around for some time already.

DCT is DCT. We shouldn't rely on just the manufacturer 350k km reliability tests right?

AT is mature tech, CVT is proven. These GBs have been used in lower-end cars for decades. DCT in cheap cars are still new, why risk it? Ok perhaps you want to try having DCT in your car at your price points, that is fine

But you are taking a risk here. To each his own. If I was in a market for an SUV, I wouldn't go for DCT from Geely for the time being

kasi him chance la.. maybe he/she dun like tongsan made cars with so advance DCT GB in cheapo price and jelly

4th gen City CVT

5th gen City AT

Now they are all CVT

Maybe you will face the same rate as 4th gen City owners, when it was problematic, which promoted Honda to change back to AT

At the time, CVT wasn't new tech, yet Honda still had reliability issues with it. It wasn't their first CVT car too.

Despite all this, you still want to jump in DCT with Geely. I'd say don't go for bleeding edge tech yet unproven, go for matured tech. Go AT

But hey, its your car, your choices

we are talking about Chinese CBU here not neepornjin CBU.
doubt there's a quality difference

Psstt....previous gen A-class (W176) uses DCT from A180 all the way to A45.

A-class models are meant and marketed for boy racers that value speed and acceleration which can benefit from the DCT. Perhaps Mercedes have decided to streamline the design across models in the A classes. Not impossible that the chassis was designed for their DCT and having a mix of DCT and AT in that class across different models would be too expensive design as well as manufacturing wise

But in general the basic cars like C and E, or 3 and 5 all use reliable AT, perhaps due to reliability or cost concerns - or both as reliability affects the bottomline especially when these cars are broken while under warranty

These German marques must have done their numbers when choosing the design for all their cars

If wet dct than should be less issue.

If dry dct u better hope u daily drive is not high jam area if not prepare for chance of failure due to high temperature

That level of putar, jibby also kalah

Geely ones for the x70 ckd are wet dcts

Haha then you tell BMW and Mercedes to use DCTs for all their cars la. Since you all know so much

So many engineers and executives here

Should be less worry than
But don't hope quality will up to par compare to the well known factory.

Many switch to dct also because of costing since AT and CVT pattern right is more expensive compare to dct

cheap sale

Deposit : 27k

Not sale. Sambung bayar somemore. Not legal. Later habis bayar owner refuse tukar nama. Gg

Hahaha
Still on that pedestal

Take heed: the higher/longer you stay there, the more painful it is when you fall.

People closet racist, no need chance

Aboh how he uang besor uang besor buy BMW

We plebs go play one corner

talk here talk there,, still not launch CDK model yet...

the normal modern gearbox also every expensive to repair
and the term of expensive at here is how much?
