If you haven't driven it, why judge a book by its cover?Haven't yet. Have you?

Because of CVT? Lack of gearchanges?If you haven't driven it, why judge a book by its cover?
And you said you haven't driven one.Because of CVT? Lack of gearchanges?
Like I said, there is no gearchanges in a CVT box.And you said you haven't driven one.
How in the world u know its not good?
My daughter did not say the car is or is not comfortable, but I said the car door cannot be lean upon......hahhahhahahhaWho cares what your daugther says when an Australian review website says it beats the Odyssey for comfort? Exora beat Odyssey yo!
.
Actually tried the Alza first, before going to test the Exora. Alza Just too small.....Ignore Exora and go for Alza instead like unker Fred.
Don't dismiss CVT so quickly. I still like my manuals no doubt, but CVT is probably the way to go for "cheaper" autos. Smooth acceleration and when kicking down for extra power it's noticeable and damn it's responsive. No where near as violent as traditional torque convertor. Besides, CVT is more efficient. Always in the right for the right event, ok mah.Haven't yet. Have you?
3 generations still using same engine and tech is Vios la bro. Not Altis.Don't dismiss CVT so quickly. I still like my manuals no doubt, but CVT is probably the way to go for "cheaper" autos.

And yes I have driven CVT - own one! The Altis is a good looking car, but that's about it. The engine is 3 generations old and everything except the CVT is old. Features wise the new Sylphy beats it and I suspect the driving experience would beat it too (stock vs stock). Not because I'm biased, because the drive for the last 2 generation of Altis was exactly the same.
Strictly speaking.. CVT don't lack gearchanges.. it is infinitely changing "gears"...or more accurately, gear ratios.Because of CVT? Lack of gearchanges?
Perhaps that is just my own preference because I prefer the feel of manual especially during gear changes when you release the clutch quickly right after engaging into the next gear. That sudden surge of power.Don't dismiss CVT so quickly. I still like my manuals no doubt, but CVT is probably the way to go for "cheaper" autos.

I know right. The Dual VVT-i Altis was launched in 2010. I remember that because that time I was starting to get into cars. The noticeable difference would be at the rear where the facelifted models have clear signal lights while the pre facelift version had orange signal lights.3 generations still using same engine and tech is Vios la bro. Not Altis.
The same 1NZ-FE with 4 spd AT
Different engine from 10.5 generation onwards. Though Dual VVT-i has already been around for quite sometime before it was used in Altis 10.5 Gen onwards for the 1st time. Only the generation after mine is still using the same 1ZZ-FE engine and 4spd A/T.
10.5 Gen onwards are Dual VVT-i ZR code engine instead of the single VVT-i ZZ code engine. To be exact year 2010 model onwards iinm.
This model started with ZR Engines with Dual VVT-i and CVT gearbox and with variants from 1.8L - 2.0L.
Driving experience, not sure for the current one though. No chance to test drive. :frown:
But those are pseudo or virtual gears. What I mean is CVT lacked real "gearchanging" as it does not have any gears at all.Strictly speaking.. CVT don't lack gearchanges.. it is infinitely changing "gears"...or more accurately, gear ratios.
Yeah, its a belt, or chain, depending on the application... I can't help but get the "rubber band" feel when I drive a CVT.. it does feel disconnected at times.. I guess there's some slack in it.But those are pseudo or virtual gears. What I mean is CVT lacked real "gearchanging" as it does not have any gears at all.
But CVT picks the right ratio, therefore no lag or less, unlike gear ratio you need correct rpm to drive it...But those are pseudo or virtual gears. What I mean is CVT lacked real "gearchanging" as it does not have any gears at all.
Suits campro I've to say. Because it lacks low end grunt.But CVT picks the right ratio, therefore no lag or less, unlike gear ratio you need correct rpm to drive it...
Ya, that's why glad Preve and Suprima are using the CVTs. Pick up powderful.Suits campro I've to say. Because it lacks low end grunt.
For FC and city drivability, def good.
That's something u have to accept. A daily car is quite common everywhere.yo guys,sorry for the late reply. juz got back from kampung and hardly to get a decent internet connection there.
Been reading all the replies,and those were much of help. Thanks again guys.
im not underestimating local brand car,it's a condition that set up by my parents tho. i didnt really fancy a local car but inspira,myvi,preve werent bad at all. especially inspira since it's a lancer even with a proton badge on it and 1.8 not to mention.
for mitsubishi attrage,i hate it more than vios(which i dont really hate it like i was). and yeah,jazz do look like a girlish some sort of car,but the first time i look at it i was like "wow,not bad...ohh,it's jazz..look diff from the previous model". city might be one the best choice here,and it's on my toplist now. but one thing that makes me hesitate on choosing city is,out of 10 my nearest neighbour, there are 3-4 using city(not the new 1,but still).
and yeah,my parents will responsible on the installment myb until i got a decent job or pay. but all the maintenance i guess will be paid by myself as far as it concern.
