Mini with CVT transmision (Note: I am knocking the CVT version only) It's jerky, has little standing start acceleration, can be really thristy (under 20 mpg) and must be the only automatic that feels like it's going to stall!

  • MOT - Suzuki Swift 31 Oct 2002 (Forum)
    this therefore mean that it won't fail the MOT on this point, or is that an automatic failure point. I tackled the garage where I bought it from about this back in September, and they assured me that the white stuff would soon "burn off" and that it was a newish downpipe. I had my doubts, but went ahead

    will happen in 3 years... I'd rather spend 15-20K and get something decent. Part of the problem is that we need a automatic gearbox (the wife cant drive stick) and in France you are looking at 10,000 first price for something decent.   What  I really want is a small-medium
