Not overheat bro, but fluctuates.wah.. THAT easy to overheat ar?
Alfa goes faster up the hill, and down straight to workshop.
Speaking from experience or someone you know with crappily maintained Alfa? Just hate it when people just freely quote things as the world is a free place. I have had 4 Alfas ran them hard, maintained them well and didnt bite my back off compared to my other Contis like Volvos. They are definitely little more expensive to maintain than japs or malaysian cars. But never broke on me ever...each had abt 200k kms ++ when sold exception one. The ownership/camaderie experience was great. I also own now a R3 so I can say I can be fair in my assesment.Yep...keep the tow number handy, just in case.
different ppl..different oppinion.when u drove an alfa....u will not want to drive any other car......i wonder how true that statement among alfa users....
true.. but weight is another factor right?for me 2.0 is unequal to compare with 1.6...for sure 2.0 can win
faster car always having good handing to compare....
Nah won't overheat la..not a last century car dude! The ones that you see tersadai contis are typically older contis or with poor maintenance. If you replace the wear and tear items like lthe water pump, thermostat every 120k kms per recommendation which isn't too expensive. Most owners target their 3rd timing belt change to replace apprx every 120k. The alfas with the temperatures fluctuating are ones with a dying thermostat. Otherwise will be rock steady 80-90 range. the auto you refer to in Selespeed system is called city mode...it's a clutch based system much like the savvy amt in case you didn't know. In city mode it hold revs a lot harder based on throttle response. Driven in manual it's a joy. There is no auto torque converter based alfa with exception of the 156 2.5 v6 and the 164/168. Flick it to manual by engaging a lower or higher gear can be done manually pushing the lever and it's like a regular manual with super fast gear shift done by a robot. The gti runs on similar system but it's a faster dual clutch system.Well,if only with spirited drive i believe alfa got the edge to be faster and easier to drive considering that torqey 2.0 twinspark engine..but in fullspeed uphill i'm afraid conti engine got high risk of overheating..furthermore IF that alfa was auto...in this case neo got the upperhand where campro being rev happy and nimble..could be a tight battle..still alfa would be easier to drive fast..the rest wether win or not all depends alot on outside variable factor..my best opinion is u need to test drive both and chose what u like
DCT is dual clutch transmissions...faster to engage gear.so, how efficient is the selespeed compared to DCT? i heard its alot crappier than bmw SMG
dun hear bout the dark side of neo cps, just go & try it out youself.to all the sifu here...
i plan to get myself a satria neo cps...is the power good from the engine?
i heard many of my friends said that the engine lack of power...is that true?
thx for ur help bro...:wavey:dun hear bout the dark side of neo cps, just go & try it out youself.
