Just wondering how many people out there have a CVT...

Why so many views and so few votes? If you want to see what the proportion is, go ahead and vote!!!

CVT - Not For Me

Sejanus · Nov 3rd, 2002, 02:05 PM

Figures I try to vote in a poll started by someone in Florida and it won't let me vote!

Put one more down for CVT.

DITTO!!

Electrc109 · Nov 3rd, 2002, 02:58 PM

Sejanus and Jos986 - let me guess, too confusing for you?

That's apparently what happened here in Florida!

Jos986 · Nov 3rd, 2002, 03:06 PM

I happen to be one of the very, very
aged.

You trying to deny our rights?

Electrc109 · Nov 3rd, 2002, 03:07 PM

wow, I feel so powerful now...

another wow - this is post #250...the last board I was a member of I only had just over 100 before I got tired of it...

LOL. In fairness to Florida I've been locked out of all MINI2 polls for a few weeks now for unknown technical reasons. I think when I vote the virtual chad doesn't get punched through all the way.

cooper4us · Nov 3rd, 2002, 07:28 PM

And dimpled/pregant chads are a FL HALLMARK!

Put me down for the CVT as well, the best Transmission choice for those of us who are well past over the days of wrestling clutch pedals in bumper to bumper traffic.

LONG LIVE THE CVT!!!

LuckyRVA · Nov 3rd, 2002, 07:48 PM

Couldn't imagine having a Cooper or Cooper S for that matter and having a auto tranny!

NEMINI · Nov 3rd, 2002, 09:27 PM

I voted for 5 speed but if the 6 was an option on the Cooper I'd have bought and voted for it.

Occasionally, but only here at MINI2.

I have a CVT but only because we wanted my wife to be able to drive Max too. I would've preferred the 5 speed.

The Steptronic pseudo-manual thingie is very clever but I just can't get excited about it. It has a delay before changing.

Sejanus · Nov 3rd, 2002, 10:31 PM

The CVT may not be up to manual speed, but for me its the convenience of an automatic combined with at least some of the fun and responsiveness of a manual that makes it so cool.

damini · Nov 3rd, 2002, 10:54 PM

CVT has exceeded my expectations. My wife factored into my decision, although I had a deposit on an S to hedge my bets. The CVT still delivers a large amount of driving pleasure...I'll keep it!

lightbody · Nov 4th, 2002, 05:06 AM

If you ran this poll for US and Non-US you'd get a decidedly different result... it is reflecting, I think, the fact that a much higher proportion of American MINI owners are on MINI2 than European owners, who perhaps don't get quite so excited about the car...

vegan · Nov 4th, 2002, 09:05 AM

I voted 5 speed. Just like to drive manual cars. Although sometimes when sitting in traffic jams I doubt my sanity.

aMini2Go · Nov 4th, 2002, 10:20 AM

Shep, Sejanus, damini:

I second each of your opinions!

1. The wife was a huge factor. I would probably have gone with the 5-speed if not for her.

2. "...CVT may not be up to manual speed, but....The convenience of an automatic combined with at least some of the fun and responsiveness of a manual that makes it so cool." 100% agreed!

3. "CVT has exceeded my expectations." I never thought an automatic could be so fun!

monica · Nov 5th, 2002, 05:00 PM

8:30am "I love my MINI, I love my MINI. I'm here at work already? I hate my job, I hate my job. Hmmm maybe I'll quit..."

12:00pm (lunch time)"See above"

5:00pm "I should have quit."

Horrid little cycle I've gotten into. Oh well morning will be here all to soon.
