VRX Manual vs CVT

[Seffy]

Eh, so long as the "gear shifting" hand is doing something, doesn't matter how it works since Chris is pretty happy with it.

But it's probably a good bit of info to know how the CVT works anyways in case it somewhat fails and whatnot.

well the thread is called manual vs cvt, so I simply stated how cvt works, u dnt need to start an argument erin

[Seffy]

Ok keep the thread on topic please.

Request to clean if necessary, Justin/Pete.

Both are fun to drive, although I still prefer my manual!

The CVT was fun in the hills of what I have driven one as you don't have to worry about the clutch like you do in manuals! The CVT is quicker off the mark from a stopping position although once the manual hits 3rd the manual reals in the CVT pretty quick again!

Your not driving yours properly Andrew, if you can't beat an auto off the start

[Jason-VR]

Not really, auto will usually beat manual off the start cause its instant accelleration.

WRONG. The CVT waits for the engine revs to pickup before before properly engaging.
Also the CVT is lower geared so it has a lot higher speed in first gear( belt position) then the manual.
Where the CVT is better/faster is once it is above 60km/h where it will hold the engine revs at the maximum power position.

I find that cvts are slower off the mark...
if you dump the clutch (is that the right term?) in a manual you have that head start
But CVTs seem to hit a point where you feel the extra power/boom if that makes sense. VrrrRROOOMMMM


I have a CVT and I don't mind it (never learnt how to drive a manual)

ive had no dramas with mine yet

There are obvious reasons such as : if you get stuck in traffic often, cvts will be a easier option
- if you want more fun then manual
- cvts can still sound nice with an exhaust..but you will always get that moooooo

I guess I haven't put much effort into taking off fast....:p haha

no way in hell dose a cvt beat me off the line .... chances are hell will freeze over before a cvt beats me lol

I'll be frank here, just me thinking out loud.

I find it pretty hilarious when everyone here is debating 'how fast can I get my car off the line', when I'm pretty sure:
1. Nearly none of you track the car.
2. Most of us are usually stuck in 60km/h zones. and by the time you hit 60, it's time to slow down at the lights again.

Is it really that much of an importance?
