2006 Lancer 2.0 is 4AT.
CVTs of yesteryears are limited to 1.6L and below engine power.

High torque CVTs are first used by nissan suvs after 2010, i think.

Oh sh*t. It was a 4AT? They told me it had a CVT and I really believed it was a CVT back then because it felt so rubber band-ey. Well I guess that was a battle of torque converter trannies then. We also own a 1.6L lancer but we chose the manual because the CVT was fairly new back then and we didn’t want to experiment with a new tech.

But the 2008 2.0 lancer EX as I recall had a CVT.

Agreed.

Bear in mind also that different AT gens require different driving styles. For example, DCTs should be placed on N and D intermittently when in Makatigtype rush hour traffic

CVT's should be accelerated gradually, Jack rabbit starts will kill it

True to all trannys, regular and correct ATF grade is a must.

Who said you can't accelerate quickly with a CVT? The turbo-powered Subarus and Hondas are quite quick. Have you driven one?

Lancer Cedia ba? They do have CVTs. I am not sure though if Mitsubishi used different trannies on their 1.6L and 2.0L Cedia models.

The Lancer from 2008 onwards have CVT and so with the ASX.

CVTs are quick no doubt, quicker than any torque converters. The civic for example, even with lower power figures is noticeably faster than the focus ecoboost which has higher power figures but uses a torque converter.

I guess what he’s probably trying to say is jack rabbit starts will shorten the lifespan of CVTs.

Hard Acceleration basically, especially from a standstill/crawl. =)

It's the long-term durability of a CVT I'm concerned about. My wife has a 1st gen 2013 Nissan Rogue and it's fairly peppy for a 170 hp CUV, probably 8 sec 0-60 mph. But, I baby it because if the CVT goes, I'd have to spend several thousand $$$ for a new one. No problems so far. But, I have heard all the horror stories.

You don't repair a CVT. A bad one is replaced with a new one. Ouch.

I always remind my wife she should've picked my choice back then: the 1st gen, 157hp CX-5.

2004-2008 models, 1.6L cvt, 2.0L 4AT.
Ex models 2008 up, 2.0L cvt, 1.6L 4at

Aside from the faulty Powershift DCT of Ford, most issues are in some ways attributed to neglect of owners in proper maintenance. As mentioned, failures in CVT cars are less than 1%.

Manufacturers have now started doing extended warranties to deal with issues not easily found within the first 3 years or 60k miles (100k ) of ownership.
