The '7-speed' is a CVT - the DSG is strictly for low output engines

The CVTs are fun in Sport mode, hit peak power, stay there, adjust gearing. They accelerate really quickly for what they are.

I like putting my 2014 Corolla LE in sport mode :shepface:

Hmm, not sure about that. The S-Tronic 7-speed is a DSG. The Multitronic is CVT but as far as i know they were only "5/6-speed" with later ones getting some internal shaft/drum modifications and programming to give them a set 6th gear ratio.

Also, the DSGs are generally quite strong, although clunky into gear and can take a fair bit of torque. CVTs really can't, and are only found in lower power FWD cars. I think all Quattro Autos were either conventional automatics or DSGs.

Serious.. (Referring to the longitudinal DSGs at least. The transverse ones can go gently caress off.)

The car is too old for that - it'll be the old multitronic which was '7 speed' at that time (8 speed in the next model)

Considering how great japanese CVT's are, I can't even imagine what a VAG produced one would be like.

I am so deeply amused that Toyota sourced an asin transmission and made it unreliable.
They did the same thing with ZFs by loving with the service intervals. E46 seem to have few transmission issues, b5s, it is a maintence item.

That explains Toyota. What about Honda and Nissan, purveyors of the finest self-destroying CVT's?

The only Toyota CVT we get (excepting really really new cars) in the US is on the hybrids and while those are a completely different system, they're basically flawless.

Yeah calling the hybrid CVT a CVT, whilst accurate in a technical sense, is a bit insulting to the hybrid drive because it lumps it in with actual CVT's which are all terrible. I'd say that 20 series prius is probably the most reliable toyota made during the 00's. Presumably this was because they were so worried about market backlash from hybrids being perceived as unreliable that they went out of their way to build them properly.

Nissan did a completely one off CVT design for their early 2000s large RWDs that was completely incompatible with the fluid used in their FWD models. Using the wrong fluid would completely destroy the transmission (obviously)

That's my theory too. When Toyota tries to do something right, they can be amazing. Which separates it from VW (I assume they're trying.).

It's because they're using two different companies body kits (C-West front, Veilside sides, can't tell on the rear bumper, might be Veilside?l). Jamming different companies' bodykits doesn't work together.

I'm kind of waiting to see how the iA/iM look that are getting 'revealed' soon. One is going to be the US Toyota Auris, I can't remember which. Definitely going to give that a look. But this is the Terrible thread, not New car thread.

I hate how the xB looks on the exterior, but the interior is pretty neat and well laid out.
