But he’s talking only about cruising in the CVT car. You may be able to cruise the CVT at 2,000 RPM at 80-100 km/h, but not with the 5-speed. At 80-100, engine RPM in the 5-speed car will be ~2,400-~3,000.

Obviously he’s talking about the CVT, because top gear in the 5-speed is way too low to do this! 2000 RPM comes at just ~70 km/h. Gear/RPM/speed for the 5-speed:

I am so surprised

But it’s different in many miles. Because of it’s reliability and it much miles more Economical than Viva.

If there’s no tax on it, then say good bye to Viva because of it’s cheaper price and better fuel mileage.

I think its better to buy a Myvi, half the price and much more of a fuel saver than the Mivec.
