Hey VRX_08, Thanks.
It sure is, this is my second one, I has an ES CVT but not long bought the VRX in a Manual and what a massive difference. if it wasn't my daily I would have bought an EVO X.

I have an X as my daily at the moment (soon to be replaced by my VII) and I love it

Have driven both in the VRX (CVT and manual) and prefer the manual by far, although the paddle shifters in the VRX CVT aren't bad though!

Hey D, Yeah in Wollongong it wouldn't be so bad but in Sydney peak traffic the fuel bill would send me broke.
VRX_08 I haven't had the pleasure of driving a CVT with paddle shifts, might need to take on for a test run.

Still prefer the manual though, more fun and a little extra guts!

I have only driven the CVT in the VRX as my girlfriend owns one whilst I own a manual VRX (same year and colour too)!

Welcome to the forum mate. I'm surprised you didn't see all of us at our woolongong meet last year. xD We were at stuart park.
