Why does /o/ hate CVT? It's the perfect dd transmission.

>>15915711
I would guess its fragile components and the lack of response
they are no good in the more aggro city's

>>15915711
It is boring beyond belief.

And you can't just "work on" a CVT. If something breaks, you have to replace the whole thing. That's gonna cost $1,500-$5,000 depending on make and model for even if it's only a bad solenoid.

1/10 made me reply but no (You) for you.

To newshits: CVTs (Continously Variable Transmissions) have a track record of:

>short lifetimes
>inability to handle power
>fucking terrible driving experience
>being expensive to "maintain".


There is literally no advantage to using a CVT ever.

Not a CVT dick rider but from a 3rd generation mechanic that has no bias (I've owned all sorts of cars and trucks)

>short lifetimes
With proper maintenance, they will easily last 180-200K miles without a hiccup, which is about what cars these days are built to last. Got to keep renewing those leases. Cars are more like laptops these days than mechanical marvels.

>inability to handle power
If they weren't able to handle power, you wouldn't be moving. Just because a CVT isn't made for muh V8 and horsepower doesn't mean it isn't an economical option for people who aren't losers that speed on public roads

>fucking terrible driving experience
For an average person, it's a great driving experience.

>being expensive to "maintain".
Only expensive when you won't maintain it, because it has to be completely replaced if one thing goes wrong.

A CVT prius will still out-accelerate your corolla

>not speeding when there's no traffic and no bandits waiting to steal your money aka cops

it's just a number on a sign

might makes right. absence of might, you remake the right.

It's no secret that /o/ is full of people who can't drive, and should stay off the road. Everyday you get threads like pic related because muh vroom vroom on empty road.

>>15916077
>proper maintenance
Lots of CVTs and transmissions in general are sealed for life.

>>15915711
Boring and shears the belt when given sudden throttle.

All you have to do is change the fluid. This isn't 2006. CVTs are better built today than 10 years ago when the steel belt links weren't worth a hoot.
