By holding a the transmission ratio in a CVT, you have more control over the power/torque/engine response. This is useful when attacking a corner or in overtaking situation.

Ok, yes. I can see that, but otherwise...? I don't see much of a point there.


It doesn't sound like you are going faster, which is probably why the CVT gearbox is a bit unpopular, but if you look at the speedo...

I'd imagine it is better for an engine with a narrow rev range. Say you have lots of torque at 1500 rpm... but above that nothing, below that nothing. You'll stay in that optimal rev range all the time, lots of power, good fuel consumption. Or the CPS engine... only power at high revs. With CVT you won't drop out of that rev range when you need the power... if you had a 4 speed gearbox you'd be revving too high for the engine (no power or engine just can't do it) or too low, so there is no power.

And really, the noise is irritating.

Early Audi CVT boxes weren't very reliable though (mhh... sounds familiar...).

Btw., doesn't the Prius use a CVT system too, though it works very different (no belt, pulley, clutch, ... just a set of gears that are always connected).

Now this is Super Sarcastic! rclxub.gif Why do you hate Vios so much? Yes, it's overpriced a bit, the handling is not so good and lack modern safety features, but to be fair it does quite well as a point A to B car and and very reliable too.

i've heard so much about UMW's great service. Great service as in? Fast response? Availability of parts? Friendly staff? Quick fixes and problem solving? When a car is designed so simply, a quick fix to whatever problem is easy, problems are easier to solve. Then all the people who bought from UMW...good service yo!!! Honestly I've heard horror stories from Ford but owning a Ford, I don't find their service any worse. Vios not a bad car but it's just not a good car. It's just a car nobody would be bothered about. Nobody is going to come up to you and tell you, hey nice car....how is it?

Calling Vios a crap car is blasphemy. I dont even know why people are still discussing over this.

Vios over any Malaysian made crap or whatever kimchi cars and so on. Thats the truth.
