I guess you need to get out of the basement before getting out of base model Mustang and 3 series kek
my torque varies upon which gear I have it in and how much I push down on the accelerator

literally the recipe to grenade your car
That car looks hideous af. cvt a shit also fuck honda for making that a standard auto
>>15391790
Why the fuck would you buy an Avalon and not choose the based 2GR engine? Fuck that hybrid/CVT bullshit. Anyone who's ever actually driven a CVT and walked away thinking they liked it is a full on retard.

CVT doesn't stand for constant variable torque.
Yep, I took the b8

It would have been amazing if it was lets say continous variable tits

Also, from a mechanics point of view, they suck ass.

CVTs are the perfect example of something heads and shoulders better on paper but that doesn't translate in real life
it just feels weird to drive

Confirmed for stupid. CVT's were already patented by the late 1800's. They were popularised (barely) by DAF in the late '50s.
Also, they have massive drivetrain losses, treir electronic control still isn't optimised for street use (or track use for that matter), they're a PITA to work on, and they've got iffy reliability when you put an actual engine in front of them instead of a 30 hp DAF two cilinder.

Even if it's wierd to drive - if it had actual performance or efficiency merits, it'd be accepted more easily. however, it doesn't.

They're only superior for bread and butter A to B commuting. Literally for the drivers who are driving because there isn't a more convenient method of transportation (because they will choose the public option if it's safe/convenient/accessible enough).
For daily town driving and grocery getting, the CVT will be praised for its seamless power delivery. Around town, the shifting of my MB E350 with 7spd auto feels harsh compared to the CVT in my Subaru.
I'll take a conventional auto box any time over CVT, however for the people who treat cars like an appliance CVTs have the appeal of a Keurig when we all know we can enjoy a superior cup of coffee by manually fiddling with a french press.
it's a great decade for reaction image collectors

it's a great decade because we made it so with autismo and mspaint
>>15393832
is it inverse autism then? usually gran autismos have problems differencing face expressions or even recognizing them

>he thinks CVT stands for "continuous variable torque"
Please be bait
