Picked up our first cvt for taxi service (2015 Mirage DE)

**Taxi dave** · 05-30-2016, 12:34 PM

I picked up a couple of 2015 DE with the cvt . We have run 5 spd for a couple of years. Very sluggish off the line but overall seems very good great mileage 7 days 1756 miles 44 mpg average. My checkbook loves that. Will keep us all posted on issues.

Looking forward to getting updates on how the Mirage takes the severe usage. 1756 miles in 7 days, WOW !

It's amazing how fast the mileage adds up we run taxicads 24/7 365 in a tourist area that never sleeps.

Wow so oil change is done every month

I have 6 total 4 standard shift 2 cvt. I get the bright colors it attracts people to them. Oil change every 2500 breaks about 20.000 miles clutches 35k ish tires 20k ish. I never thought we would run this type of car but they work well and we put them threw the ringer my oldest is fast approaching the 100k mark. And I will get/ more of them if the biz stays good.

How much does a clutch replacement job cost?

**Taxi dave** · 06-03-2016, 12:24 PM

I use one dealer in my area and it costs $1400.

Looks like the CVT's could save you a bunch of money.
