Daily Driver - Duster vs Outlander

[Ricof4e]

Can’t trust anything French

If its French and you cant eat or f_ck it, walk away.

Many manufacturers are using the CVT gearbox now. Probably a huge amount cheaper than a 10 speed auto to manufacture and you right they probably vastly improved since the first ones appeared I think a DAF?

My A4 was CVT which was pretty advanced & worked fantastically well over the original Audi CVTs. But the oil change was R6k & a replacement box was R90k .

It’s true that many manufacturers are using CVT boxes, even in the same SUV segments.

For example, these all offer CVT:

RAV4
Xtrail
Koleos

Then:
Forester
Outlander
That Jeep thing

I test drive a used Outlander today. Great car.

Initially I found the CVT to be extremely agricultural & not nice at all to drive under hard acceleration. But then I noticed that when the eco mode was switched off it was a different car & very acceptable.

The one I drive was a bit tatty. But the things are scarcer than a Vaalie with correct tyre pressures.

Which model/year? Price?
Great interior features on the current model. Really almost better than my Paj!
Would convince wifey to part with the BM for one of them

Personally, I'd go Duster...

[KurtG]

You would because you drive a Fortuner. The Outlander is in another class to the Duster but you’re a Porra who grew up poor so you don’t know what quality is about.

Then again, who knows how long Mitsubishi will remain in SA

Which model/year? Price?

It was a 2014 with 88kkm for R230k. But there’s a better one in PTA for R290k.
