^Not only that, I don't think a sunroof and leather seats are even available as an option on a base model.

Thanks guys. I'm pretty well sold on it now. The question is when. I wonder if we'll see white on black, black gauges or a 6mt in he 2014? I also learned I might be getting my dads Mini Cooper 's' as a trade soon as his knee can't handle the coupe door and he'd trade mine in. Not sure how I feel about staying in a mini but his gets the same or better mileage as I do thanks to the 6mt and turbo... Still no AWD or 4 doors though. Hrm.
And vw diesels are out for me. As much as I love the looks and interior, they're too expensive and I don't want to roll the dice on the reliability. Some people have zero issues others have theirs in the shop for three weeks in the first two years which is unacceptable. |

http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=2477627 The CVT gets the equivalent of 30 mpg highway, and the 5MT according to fuelly: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...5&postcount=33 (Look at the data link at the end) gets just a touch better, so it's probably the equivalent of a 31 mpg highway car, real world. I don't have one though, so I don't pretend to know about the 5MT personally. There's a lot of post purchase rationalization on this list, but I just let the data speak for themselves. |

9000 miles on a CVT hatch 2012.
currently.... Long trip 99% highway at 60-74mph, mountain pass included, and a bit of crappy rainy weather in the mountains. approx 32mpg. Long trip highway, and passing through a few small 35mph towns, with 50-60mph max "highways", and a higher mountain pass and crappy rainy weather in the mountains. approx 35mpg Real City driving, errands, wife's very very short commute, and maybe 30% 60mph highway. approx 22-24mpg(sometimes lower) These numbers are pretty consistent. City numbers suck, but its just not enough miles to worry about it, and it sure is a lot more fun to drive than some subcompact Kia or something. |

I highly disagree that they are world apart, realistically its 1-2 mpg difference at most, so not worlds. You could argue the opposite in fact (the epa does). I would still recommend the MT unless you deal with traffic/commuting. |

P.S. I rented a Dodge Charger this weekend and set the Cruise Control at 75 mph on a flat level stretch - It's rated at 31 mpg highway and I was getting over 36 mpg. 75 mph. |

Fly,
Not many with a manual transmission I'll bet, but based on the distribution of satisfaction of them vs. owners of CVT's, quite a few with the CVT. Then again, this is over your head as are most of the comments around here. |

I'm not dissatisfied with my CVT. I test drove the 5 speed and was happier with the CVT.
