I personally like more the manual but I afraid it has more mechanic problems so I came here to make sure. Are there any common problems I need to pay attention to? Thanks in advanced.
Since you live in a region that is consistently hot I would choose the manual over the CVT. Heat is a killer of CVT’s and any automatic. I have a CVT but I live in a place where 75F is a warm day and 80F is a heat wave. Plus,you’ll save some $$ by going with the 5 speed. Not too many shops are that knowledgeable about CVT’s but I'm guessing that replacing a clutch if necessary 4 or 5 years down the road will be a lot cheaper.
