as what mr mash said it has an infinitly gear ratios. its main parts are a belt and two pullys there are no gears at all or even clutchs for every gear. the two pullys contract and expand in a way to change the gear ratio depending on the rpm. as what mash said you will feel at
the begaining its so strange, but the most queit gear in all of them there are no shocks at all or even you will not feel the changing between the gears(and previously that was a problem in nissan cars)for example the nissan sunny you feel the shock if you are acc in a high rpm and the old altima you feel some shock if you was acc at a low rpm. and that was solved by that thing and even if you didnt warm the car(the oil didnt warm up). and also the cvt is much better than the norma AT in offroad use. and its much better in case of acc too. if you give it a kick down as i did and saw, the rpm stays at the highest level to keep the car at its peak torque, because the normal gears keeps they have a problem called “lag”. that happens when the trans. shifts between the gears but the CVT doesnt have this problem. and the thing that i like it too much in it it has tiptronic for 6 ratios which is good for the engine and the topspeed of the car.

CVT does not use gears like an automatic gearbox. To put it simply, it uses what looks like a bunch of rubber bands to keep the engine in its best rpm. Since there are no gears to shift, there is no jerking of shifting gears, and fuel economy is also better. It just feels weird driving it since it feels like the car is stuck in one “gear.”

Hey that’s(mohammed). dont you think 215/55R17 tire size is not wide enough for a 270 hp nissan altima, i can’t belive that nissan corporation didn’t change the size for the new altima. , which means there is very big different in stability between it and G35 as i think

well cbling, this is the problem with engines that come straight from cars. But at least they tried to increase the 3.5 G35 engine to 4.0 for a natural torque increase. Engines like the Jeep 4.7 V8 and the Land Cruiser 4.8 V8 are purpose-built for torque and off-roading.

mashling, thats why i said larger than usual margin…anyways thats very impressive although shouldn’t the peak torque come in at a lower rpm for a pure offroading vehicle?

Hey rehan,
I dont recomend any of these SUVs, because you will spend much money for petrol in Toyota Prado, Mitsubishi Pajero, Nissan Pathfinder, as i heared the petrol stations in UAE will increase amount of petrol from 6.25 p/g to be arround 12 dhs p/g in2008 or 2009. and the running cost of outlander is not impressive. So, i thing you should look for 2008 Rav4 which even Mash said the ride quality of Rav is better than a car like Camry.

thatsit(mohamad) — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 14:15:28 +0000

in case of offroad (pajero)
in case of what you want prado
in case of power pathy
the outlander (i dont know).
my opinion

what do you meant when you said after 5 years???
there are many suvs that are much much faster than the prado. but the problem is what to look at and what to look for.
and of course what you meant is the 3 doors
and not the slow 5 doors.

i looking for a reliable jeep for quite some time and confused in selecting brand and model. As my budget is around AED 100,000 ( thanks for financing). What 4X4 would you recommend considering long term value for money, maintenance cost and re-sale value.

If you have to rate following jeeps how would you rank them;

Toyota Prado
Mitsubishi Pajero
Nissan Pathfinder ( new shape)
Mitsibishi Outlander ( new model which is due in 2008)

Thanks

Yes, mohamed. The brake is fully pressed while the accelerator is pushed a fair bit in. And cbling, the Xterra engine really was weird. I took off and then it built speed so quickly at higher rpm that I knew the time was going to be very low. Since Xterra and FX are built by Nissan, both should have similar margins of error in the speedo (if not broken).
