I've been pleased and, at the same time, disappointed with my CVT. After modifying my driving habits I've found I get great gas milage with the CVT but... I keep reading (here) that virtually everyone does better with the manual. I just talked to my dealer and he's willing to take back my SE CVT (with 1500km on it) + $1000 for a new SE MT. I'm just hoping that I'm not giving something up I might regret. One thing that worries me is that the people who get better fuel economy with the manual might be using special driving techniques. I am willing to drive conservatively (as I have learned to do with the CVT) but, I don't really want to have to put a lot of effort into getting better fuel economy from the manual. I've got the week to think about it and am wondering if anyone has any advice.
