Please please please give feedback to ‘Car & Driving’ that Toyota use an E-CVT which uses planetary gears & electric motors. NOT belts & cones CVT.

How many times are you guys going to keep saying the CVT is driven with a rubber belt. The CVT is a planetary gearset and absolutely indestructible. Ive seen them with half a million miles no issues. Automatics with clutch systems have issues with reliability and overheating in stop start traffic.

The CVT in here is an eCVT with a planetary setup rather than a "rubber belt" as mentioned at 6:26, correct?

So many errors in this review. How did they pass this off and upload it? Rear suspension is double wishbone and not multi-link. Gearbox is not belt-driven cvt and is an E-CVT with planetary gears.

At 6.23 presenter suggests replacing eCVT with dual clutch transmission. It is shows amazing lack of understanding of how Toyota hybrid system works. eCVT is hart of system. If you replace it with dsg, it wouldn't be HSD any more

Not strictly true, since they could mount the same differentials and motors in a housing with a torque convertor transmission, but I understand what you're saying given the refusal of OSV to admit it isn't belt drive. Google WeberAuto eCVT chaps... please!

I've just had a ride in this car for an hour as a taxi journey because my car is loud to drive. I suffer from Hyperacusis so wanted a quiet journey, Unfortunately, it was not a comfortable ride for me, the car suffers from elevated levels of road noise and it was probably louder than my own car. The rest of the car is ok, but this is not a quiet cabin. The sound got up to 81db on an A road when I measured it, windows closed, no aircon on. Cabin insulation is quite poor, I could feel quite a lot of vibration though the floor. This problem is compounded by the UK government, who could make our roads smoother and more quiet by resurfacing with close knit material, (no cost difference) instead of this rough large cut bitumen you find everywhere, but apparently they did it to slow people down?? It didn't work, people drive the same, it just made life, living by roads and journeys more noisy.....

Reliability isn't the issue. As a driving experience, like all CVTs, it is a pile of sh1te, but Toyota refuse to accept that they are losing sales because of it. Perhaps it's because they sell enough cars to old folks so they figure they don't need to worry about it? Not my problem. It's my money and my choice.

@@HarryJamesBooks with the 2.0 the E-CVT’s traits aren’t as frustrating as before. More torque from the powertrain means it’s not working the engine as hard. You reap the benefits of no gearchanges and smoooth power delivery rather than jerky dual clutch gearboxes. I had 5 years with a DSG Golf R prior. . .

@@graemewhitehead6233 When they started avertising they'd "put a first gear into the CVT" (which is the change yuu are alluding to) I went and tried one and it's still crap. I'll wait until they've "put a 1st, 2nd and 3rd" gear in, it might be worthwhile. Other automatic gearboxes exist - the choice is not limited to dual-clutch - try a Mazda automatic for instance.

@@HarryJamesBooks the first gear in the CVT is on Toyotas american models, which do use a CVT gearbox. The UK Corolla is E-CVT only, and doesn’t have a first gear. I admit if you are used to revs going up and down with each gear the E-CVT is strange. The engine works at the level required for the rate of acceleration, rather than using revs & gears. When you drive ‘normally’ it’s much better than a normal gearbox - no clutches, no clunky gear changes, just smooth progress. When accelerating hard you do get that brief fixed tone of the engine which can be frustrating. On the motorway it cruises at 1,600rpm - so it’s a quiet & refined cruiser. You really have to understand how it works to get the best out of it. I get that most people just want familiarity and their perception of how a car should drive matches that of a typical car.

In that segment, the Honda Civic E:Hev is a better all-round proposition in my opinion. That is, if you don't care about the 'Touring' format, and want better space at the back. But hey, having lived with estates and their advantages, I went for the Corolla 2.0L Touring. I just don't see the point of the hatchback though, too many compromises.

Why would toyota change a winning formula the hybrid system is the best available the dual clutch integrated motor system is overly complex and prone to expensive failure and wouldn't achieve the mpg of the synergy drive, once you get used to the synergy drive its an excellent system you soon adapt to a more pleasant pace of driving its driving style that needs to change not the hybrid system if you accelerate steadily but progressively and lift the accelerate pedal a while before you break gradually you can achieve epic mpg up to mid 80 and average about 70 mpg no other ice car can get anywhere near that
