CVT Car Gearbox
Hi
I am thinking about buying a Subaru XV compact station sedan.
However, these have a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission).
There is plenty of info on the next about CVT gearboxes but as usual a bit
contradictory. There appears to be suggestions that a CVT gearbox:
- is noisy
- causes the engine to rev very high when accelerating
- high maintenance
I must admit that the idea of a fixed chain transferring power between
a couple of variable ratio pulleys seems to be a recipe for wear but I am
still open minded.
Anyone had experience with CVT gearboxes?
Cheers Peter
