CVT (CVT)
Advantages:
*Very smooth gear shifting
* Optimal fuel economy, especially in urban environments
* Less jerking and vibration when shifting gears
Flaws:
* Less reliable than automatic transmission, especially under heavy loads
* Expensive repairs and maintenance as they are more complex
*Not intended for high speed or towing
When deciding between an automatic transmission and a CVT, the following factors should be taken into account:
* Your budget: Repair and maintenance of CVTs may be more expensive.
* Your driving conditions: CVTs are best suited for stop-and-go urban driving conditions.
* Your driving preferences: Automatic transmissions provide a sportier, more active driving experience.
* Towing or Racing: CVTs are not designed for towing or aggressive driving.
Overall, for most drivers, automatic transmission is a more reliable and economical choice. CVTs can be a good option for city dwellers who value smooth shifts and fuel economy.
