Hybrids leave a smaller carbon footprint because they burn less fuel![]()


Ubata premio akak tida aluth???Some one was kind enough to cut my rep for this comment.
Who is that? probably some one who preoccupied with the idea of old are better than the new!. I would prefer if you let me know your name instead of being anonymous coward!.

Yes, true. But it's a side effect of the evolution of technology, to prevent the environmental pollution. Japan has the income per capita of 10 times of our figure, and the oil price is fraction higher than our's.
Why do you think governments are very keen to regulate the carbon emission of vehicles? It's now a global problem to keep carbon emission at a safe level.Electric vehicles are going to be the future of automobile industry, internal combustion engines are now very easier to replace by the rare earth magnet motors nowadays, only with fraction of weight of the engine.
Only problem with EV are the battery's energy density. but in near future after the commercial success of lithium-air batteries, which will have the same energy density as the fuel gasoline, will be the end of the internal combustion engine automobile industry. Hybrids are the only way to survive for larger automakers.
p.s. For a moment I thought it was you who gave me minuses![]()

Remind me again, how does all this make a CVT transmission made in 2007 reliable than a conventional auto transmission made post 2010?
P.S. I thought as much

It's not only the CVT transmission that I've cared about. It's Toyota Belta I've recommended. First thing first, My brand of choice is Toyota. After that I've recommended Toyota belta against the yaris, solely due to the CVT transmission equipped on belta. So, I am comparing here with 4 speed conventional auto vs CVT produced at same company at dame time.
So, how does all this make a CVT transmission reliable than a conventional auto transmission?Okay, I can roll with thatSo, how does all this make a CVT transmission reliable than a conventional auto transmission?

To be honest I'm enjoying low RPMs in high speed and sometimes high RPM in low speeds 
. You can never predict engine sound with CVT.CVTs are not so reliable and there's no doubt about it but someone who got used to the smoothness in a weird way and fuel economy doesn't want to buy a normal auto again. Even I'm looking for my next upgrade and definitely CVT is a GO for me though the car could be 10 years old.![]()

hmm, I mean Toyota CVT. Toyota is a branch which was proven to be reliable to the whole world. So I doubt it that the CVT failures are solely due to the engineering faults. I agree with you checking the car maintainance records are the best way to avoid abused vehicles. no argue for that.Okay, I can roll with thatSo, how does all this make a CVT transmission reliable than a conventional auto transmission?
. what would make you think that 110,121 is reliable?
