[Roadsters] New Datsun

[Paul Kort]

Ronnie,

  Before giving up on a CVT, try a Subaru Forester, 2014 or newer.  My wife
has one and it is the only 'automatic' I've ever driven and not been
annoyed!  I'll hang on to my 5 speed Civic for years to come, and my
roadster, but for long trips or driving into the city, the Forester's CVT
is pretty darn good.  Honda and Nissan should be looking at Subie's design!

  You would think that CVTs would be further along since the came out in
the 1958 DAF.  I think newer materials mad it possible to handle the HP of
todays motors.
