my mom and dad looked at one of those calibers with the cvt and my dad couldnt handle not being able to feel it shift. they went back with the avenger like theyve bought the past 3 times or so.

you pretty much answer your question yourself

if you prefer better mpg, less power, no shifting..etc etc then go with a cvt...I have a '12 lancer for like 4 years and a half and I have nothing agains't it apart from the obvious cons that everyone knows about

CVT's have less power? how so

Cars with CVTs generally have less power because the transmission cannot handle as much power.

On my car
The rpm will cap out at 3k...4k...5k...etc and will stay at that rpm and keep accelerating...the rpm will eventually go down once you reach your speed

On a normal automatic or manual transmission...your rpm will go from 1.5k- 2k to 4-5-6-7k ++ and that will give you more power because you use the full power of a gear before switching to another one..my cvt will instead shift as soon as it can so you never get that full power peak...it is no big deal for me..but it is something you need to be aware of

Sorry to burst your bubble, friend.
But this isn't true at all.

A CVT transmission is programmed to sit at peak power output when at WOT, giving you maximum acceleration.
It's just that their inner workings shred under high load. So they're not ideal for racing.

Interesting, yeah i'm not planning on any racing. lol

if you get 2012+ you should be able to get CPO on any vehicle under 50k miles til atleast 75k

also if you are doing first time financing most financing companies will force the dealership to give you a warranty or they won't approve you

oh, sorry
I have only been driving my car for 4 years and a half so I wouldn't know what I'm talking about
it's not like I could say my old 1.6l accent had more acceleration then this car or something


thank you for your input

Just trying to help OP get valid info!
