Nice review, thanks!! Not keen on automatics personally but this is a nice little car. 99% of people drive automatics here (and most can't drive a manual at all).....

I quite like the CVT myself. Always on the lookout for a late 05 example of one, that's a nice looking motor.

I only experience of Cvt is on an audi a6 it was ok but it was a v6 it liked fuel. Good to see Boaty again I clicked on his link. So now I can watch him too if he wants he can see what I do lol. The K series loves high revs. Mot testers hate magic trees on the mirror lol. Probably have liked everyone of your video's lol.😂😂Loved the outtakes.

@@ProjectNigel Your fault, you were late posting today’s vid! 😉 Should have finished editing mine tonight, but got stuck at work. Didn’t get home until wine o’clock. It’s given me some giggles though, as indeed has yours. And remember how I said Shison ran like a bag of spanners at start up? Took him/her/them/it into town today, sweet as a nut straight from cold. Like a sewing machine. The Italian tune up from the Mustard right hoof worked miracles!

The green 45 (Christine) is a CVT i have to admit they are great gearboxes until they go wrong then they are a nightmare to repair and source parts for. At the time i restored it the drive plates were no longer available and it had to be sourced from abroad its also essential you put the correct gearbox oil in them anything other than the correct stuff and your essentially scrapping the car.

I would eat a egg mayonnaise sandwich of that engine, the rear of the r3 is cute, like amanda holden's bum. Had a go in one of those r3 cvt many a year ago, was flying along in it, hit the brakes,nearly went out through the wind screen, first time I drove a ctv/ auto.😁 could boaty bring his fellow X factor judge,amanda on one of your car vids. Great video capt/boaty.👍

I had a CVT car once. It was an Audi A4 Cabrio. Nice car. My wife and I would joke that it sounded like the Houses of Parliament when accelerating, doing raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa noises like the politicians do because they’re not allowed to shout words. We would sometimes join in and shout ‘raaaaaaaaa’ whilst the CVT did it’s thing and laugh. We have a normal automatic car now and we don’t do that any more and it makes me rather sad and nostalgic. I might make the raaaaaaaaa noise on the way to Morrisons later and see what happens.

My own idea is that the Speaker, instead of bellowing ‘order…order!’ should instead shout ‘oompah….oompah!’. The house would then of course join together to shout ‘stick it up your jumper!’. My feeling is that it would promote cross-party unity, and I often practise it myself in case I should ever stand and be elected.

The stepspeed cvt transmission is a ZF VT1 unit as is designed to rev between 3,500 and 4,500 and in sport mode 4,500 to 5,500. 2,000 seems very low.

I’m not a big fan of CVT gearboxes: lots of noise but very little acceleration in my experience. It should rev higher than 2k. Give it full throttle and it should sail up to where the engine delivers peak power and stay there screaming while the car catches up. It’s why I don’t like them. There must be an issue with the box

I've driven this once in fiesta, unfortunatelly, never in nissan or audi....it just goes through the revvs, you can't feel it, only if you press it then it starts to pull. some of them are not slower or even faster than manuels.
