Overthinking....

Just to add a little potential fun to the CVT when you want it.

I'm not sure what the point is of the CVT transmission at all, paddle shifters aside.

umm, wonder why all the manufacturers are starting to go to a CVT as an option? Been driving a CVT for about 4 years now. Probably going to buy the wife a JUKE SL CVT. With the drive by wire systems, the CVT can help improve gas mileage. CVT's have actually been around since the first of the century. It just has taken the computer to make them viable. Aside from that, I kind of like the feel of not changing gears. Here's some "stuff" on em.

Not all positive. But IMO, if your not going MT, then a CVT is a much better ride.

BTW, I had MT's all the way up until I was 40 or so. Maybe 12 or so different cars with the first being a Judge. Now-a-days, just not something I want to deal with anymore. Like to kick back and enjoy the ride..
