It will be interesting to see how the Rogue, rav4, rx7 and crv are going to stuck up against the new toyota VENZA coming up this fall, For what I have read it is bigger, sportier, good looking and est. price btw. $23 and $32k. The only thing they haven't show yet is fuel economy, but if is in the upper 20s it will be hard to beat.

Replying to: sdc2 (Feb 09, 2008 4:50 pm) yes it does. it means nissan has spent the money to improve on each version, and thoroughly tested it. in other words, they didn't just design something on paper then start throwing it in cars. Time will tell time has already told. they've been used for long enough for any serious design or engineering flaws to have shown up. They are more reliable than the automatic transmissions nissan used/uses. it's not even debateble anymore. the technology is neither new nor unproven. |

Replying to: bobalbe1 (Feb 28, 2008 6:18 pm) Why? I was converted to the church of the cvt with the Ford Freestyle. Granted you couldnt take immediately off like a rocket on steroids with it, but you could certainly raise eyebrows having a 4000+lb vehicle suddenly go from 10mph to30 or 40+... It certainly had a nice growl to it accelerating, but all in all, it was heavy for its engine. See, reason I went for a cvt vehicle is 90 tempo tranny froze in first gear and such... I like the idea behind the cvt. one might need to get used to the lack of "proper" gears, but just imagine the nightmare that is the semi-truck automatic transmission. Far too much could go wrong there at any time.. Like regular geared autos. After all, suddenly finding yourself restricted to one gear pulling away from a stoplight is rather irritating. Currently, I have a Forester, and at times I tend to force that into a psuedo-cvt-ness, not that it works that well. Time and again, I'm reminded by the acceleration lag of the Forester that it simply is not a cvt. I do wonder however, at the lack of comparisons between Forester and the Rogue, after all, they do seem to be in similar classes. How is headroom in the Rogue? with/without sunroof?
