Idk they're perfectly fine. I'd rather have a CVT over an automatic that never knows what gear it's supoosed to be in

I guess I've just been in unresponsive CVTs - the ones that always rubberband around the RPM range but the noise doesn't have any correlation to an increase in speed. I'll have to go test drive a new Subie or something.

What I've experienced: Push hard on accelerator > wait a few seconds > waaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH7000RPMWEREALLGONNADIE > wait a few more seconds in the meantime > car finally starts to pick up speed  :lol:

12,000 RPM

Slow cars suck no matter what transmission is in them.

I enjoyed the CVTs in the last Accord and current Maxima.

Slow cars benefit greatly from normal old manuals.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

Not knowing what you had, it could have sucked for multitudinous reasons, but a decent manual will make a slow car better in almost every case I can think of, up to and including a Yugo GV.

My Civic was still better with 3 pedals than 2 for sure, but better is not necessarily good.

Basically what I meant, yeah.
