Which Honda Civic coupes have CVT transmissions? (06-09)?
I plan on buying a Honda Civic coupe between the years of 2006-2010 and I'm trying to figure out if any of those Honda civics have CVT transmissions. I test drove a 2013 Honda Civic coupe EX (automatic) and it felt as if I was driving a manual because you could feel the gears change, it sounded amazing and I loved it. So I'm wondering if any of those years have that same feeling.
Except for the hybrid, there was no Civic with a CVT before 2014. In 06-09 they were all five speed autos. That said - if you liked the automatic because it felt like a manual (it doesn't really), why not consider a manual? Honda does s great job with manuals.
- Which CVT transmissions use a clutch and which uses a torque converter? Lineartronic CVT Honda CVT Xtronic CVT etc What I know is that Subaru s CVT uses a clutch while Nissan CVT uses a torque converter am I right?
- Is it true what they say about CVT transmissions? They say that CVT is noisy, unreliable, expensive to fix and just plain weird like slipping feeling and no shift points. I'm thinking about buying a Honda CR-V or Nissan Murano both equipped with CVT but probably wouldn't if above are true.
- What is the difference between a kia transmissions and a honda civic transmission? What is the difference between a kia transmission that has to be replaced in 6 months and a honda civic transmission that can last for 350K miles?
- Should I just buy a Honda civic hatchback LX CVT or lease it? It's pretty inexpensive compared to other cars, but I don't know about wanting to drive it for a long time. How much am I "losing" compared to buying if I lease it? It's around $2000 down and $180~ a month for 36 months + return fee, etc. If I do end up purchasing it at the end of the lease contract, I wouldn t lose as much right? If I do buy I have $4000 for the down and the APR is 2.7-2.99%.
