cvt is "continuously variable transmission", I believe. It's an automatic gearbox that I think has no gears?! I don't know. Maximas have them.

i dont have a bike yet.


yah, continuous variable turtle. it's slow... on the new impreza's the 5MT does 8sec..but noone has any instock nor much inventory coming. i would need to wait 12wks.

nissan's new altima has a 7:1 ratio or something which is even more than the lexus 8sp AT's. lol the new altima 4banger does 0-60 in 7sec.... holy craps, probably faster than FRS/BRZ.

Isamu and Shado AND Kenchan for the information!

@ Kenchan:
annnnd, the Altima isn't a bad lookin' car either...sounds like you found your new DD!

kenchan

haaha, yah, im not a big fan of sedans. they look super boring and functionally can't do anything but carry people and some luggage.

i wants hatchback (box).

so far:
1) Impreza sport premium 5MT = #1 on list, but no one has in-stock.

2) Honda fit sport 5MT = #2 on list. the 08' i had was just too cramped up front with the pedals, but the current gen is not bad. not sure why i keep missing test drive on the black one. I might head out to another dealer with 2 silvers in-stock.

3) Impreza sport premium CVT = kinda boring... but i can give to wife in 2yrs.

4) others:
MS3 (new) = was my original plan, but not as good as i thought.
xB (new) = fail. too stupid looking up close.
WRX STI (used) = modded so didnt want.
WRX STI (used) = it looks fine, but carfax states car was in an accident.
WRX (new) = not bad, but wheels are fugly and pricy for wat im looking for.
