| 1391246 | 2014-12-31 06:30:00 | There has been horror stories with the CVT Transmission in the past with jap imports mostly poorly maintained because of cost Have not owned one but have driven one,quite a few makes are now using CVT's as they are cheaper to build Info here www.cvt.co.nz |

| 1391247 | 2014-12-31 09:26:00 | If you need a small car why is camry and commodore on the list? I like toyota, biggest complaint is they can be a bit bland and boring. If you buy one you're stuck with it because they refuse to die. The Mazda's are also nice but the 6 can be a bit hungry and is more of a mid size than a small car. I'm a big guy and a lot of small - medium cars I can't comfortably drive. The Yaris is one of the few that I can. |

Bought one for SWMBO in March last year (2014), and, apart from the colour, she loves it. Goes like the clappers, runs on the smell of an oily rag. The only thing I don't like about it is the visibility when backing, but that could be fixed by adding a reversing camera.. |

There is a cut away one on the counter.He encourages people to buy them for his retirement fund. As for Mr Johcars comment ,my dragon has a Mazda 2 pretty good car. Been wanting her to sell it as it is getting on a bit (2009) but she loves it to bits. |

When u say mazda 6 can be hungry do u mean fuel consumption is higher cause i learnt mazda 6 have skyactiv engine which is more fuel efficent than camry . But yeah i think it depends what year the mazda 6 you drove . Thanks |

| 1391253 | 2015-01-04 09:30:00 | Hi thanks for the link was helpful thanks I had a honda Capa 1.5 L with CVT. Quick to takeoff, but seem too slowish if you wanted to boot it from mid speeds and up. The CVT made a clanging sound at times, and felt a bit weird as you you can't feel any gear shifts common in autos. Got rammed from the back and split the entire floor at the base of the bumper. 3 Insurance Assessors told me it's deemed as a write off. So back to big cars (currently Odyssey - doors are quite heavy, took a while to get use to close them a bit harder), rather than poky little Fit/Yaris, etc. |

| 1391254 | 2015-01-06 01:04:00 | Some Toyota models are only rated average(not the Corolla) as there has been a push to get more cars out, they are now trying to get back the reputation as the most reliable manufacturer. Honda seems to have more reliable rated models currently. I have got the impression that older ctv transmissions often lacked legs, but the newer models were OK. Might have been talking to too many salesmen though :o |
