Quit showing off Harold....

I drive a 2007 Dodge Caliber. 2.0L with a CVT (continuously variable transmission).
I like it, does well in the snow, pretty fuel efficient at about 25mpg. Decent amount of cargo room for RCs and junk. Price was pretty good too, bought it used this past July.
This is my newest car ever, previously drove a 95 Mercury tracer, and before that a 90 pontiac grand am (both had pain peeling off).

Sold off about 60% of my RC collection and just kept a few favourites. I'll probably try to reduce that down a bit further in due course.
That kind of looks like an Ariel Atom. Who's the MFG?

Had a Altima 2.5 with a CVT, takes a lot of getting used to. Kept waiting for the engine to explode or something while merging on the highway.

I like the CVT a lot. I almost never step on it in my personal vehicle. Work truck is a different story...
I understand the concept of the CVT keeping the engine in the optimum range, I think it performs pretty well from the few times I got on it.
Already has 90k on it (only 3k from me). So as long as the tranny holds up decently long I'll be happy. But the general population doesn't seem to like the CVT. Chrysler is pretty much dropping it from all their vehicles. Nissan owns JATCO (who makes the CVTs) so they might continue to use them.

I sold my car almost two years ago. Sick and tired of the gas prices and all the expenses of having it. This is what I ride everyday to go to work and run small errands, rain or shine, even in the snow in winter. An electric scooter.



All you polluters with your big gas guzzling toys can kiss my BUTTery

We do have one family car that my wife uses since she works farther away and picks up the kid from daycare. A 2008 Mazda CX9 with GT package.


No brain, no headaches.

Paralyzed is winning this contest so far, but I will go ahead and post mine

The daily driver is a 98 Mazda 626 with 210,000 miles on it. It does what I need it to do but it gets me no where fast

The Friday driver is an 86 S10 Blazer. I will just say it has had a few things done to it and mustang owners know my tag number
