don't have much experience with cvt other than getting a ride in a mini on a road course. pretty cool, motor stays in its peak power rpm while you steer.

ten speed auto, may be neat, just thankful I don't have to shift through them.

I will never buy a Lancer CVT over Stick, and unless its a Twin Clutch, kinda like what VW does with some of their automatics.

Any other car with 2.0 148 hp feels more powerfull and picks up quicker and is quieter than a Lancer`s CVT. 5 speed Manual or Twin Clutch all the way.

Hyundai is really impressive and moving in a great direction. Putting Millions in R&D to make a car better for the consumer. They LISTEN to the consumer and deliver what people want. Next they're going to have a convertible that blows away the Eclipse, 370z,MX-5 Miata, etc. Good Goin Hyundai!

I totally agree. Its easilly the most unnatural feeling in the world and its faaar too noisy considering how slow cars equipped with it are.

The 1st CVT I drove was my parents' 2005 Ford Freestyle (Taurus X) and I hated it, and recently I drove the Sentra with the CVT and I still just can't tolerate it...
