CVT not lasting?
rongshu:
I always accelerate 2-2.5krpm from traffic light. and most of the time i was the 1st car. so if you feel your cvt cannot accelerate from stop, something must be wrong. cvt doesn't mean slow acceleration.
Just my 2 cents...

bro i suggest u keep pressing untill around rpm 4400 as that is the peak torque of our engine and will give u stronger acceralation and of course the higher the rpm more engine noise and if we dun step more the engine sound becomes rather stagnant thus the feeling of struggling as 2k+rpm does not bring out the potential of our engine. when i go to malaysia i quite often press untill 6k+rpm to enjoy the fast feeling and cos fuel there is cheap mar...hehehe but come back sg i drive very conciously as fuel is very ex and i feel shiok to achieve gd fc figures :thumbsup: btw our latio is never intended to be a fast chionging car anyway its a comfort familiy car for relax and safe driving :yehyeh:

I was quoted tradein value quite low as they stated my tyres (2 years old) balding and had an accident before (rear).
But I managed to get back $2K tradein value today, how? I dont think its nice to reveal as I didnt do it purposely.
It was not the sales exe that convinced me to buy, it was the Civic!

haha, this must be the most lame excuse an SE use to offer you lower prices for your car. Brother, I assume your 2k trade in is the extra above paper value right, didn't know so bad leh, my previous kia rio also get 1k and the SE didn't even bother to look at it before his offer.
