I was considering buying a 17' Corolla until I realized

CVT is more fuel efficient.
The government's "55 by 25" initiative (where manufacturers have to meet 55mpg by 2025) pushed most of them to CVT.

Mazda 3 still uses a traditional auto gearbox, as do Jettas.

It is '17 unless you mean it is a 17-foot long Corolla.

Because you can have literally ideal rpm at any speed. I'd pick manual any day of the week but if ihave to pick an auto itll be a cvt.

The man with no taste

DCT > CVT

The Ioniq is the most fuel efficient car in America and it uses a DCT

TRUMP WILL DELETE THIS AND MAKE CARS GREAT AGAIN

So this might be retarded, but I've always wondered, why isn't there a performance cvt?
Like if it has infinite gear ratios and can always keep the engine at peak power, shouldn't it be the best for performance? I understand they're terrible to drive but if tuned correctly wouldn't they be the quickest?

Cvts are unreliable. It's still a rubber band sliding dry on 2 steel cones.
