It’s not CVT. 185hp 2.5L with 6 speed auto with paddle shifters.
As far as LA traffic, it usually takes me 50-90 min to get home from work everyday. 21 miles
Happy it isn’t a CVT - I was “over” them by 1966! If, by accident, you get a bit if of more open road - you have the right tool as well.
Somehow I suspect it isn’t the traffic itself - it’s the morons IN the traffic that got to you! I can usually do ‘one-pedal’ with my stick in heavy traffic, but enough morons can make that difficult…
It’s the traffic. I’ve had 19 cars now this is only my 3rd automatic, and it’s literally the first time I’ve ever looked for one. If I leave LA, I’ll definitely get another proper car (if they even make manual any longer). I don’t know where you do live, but Seattle and Vancouver are the only other two cities in North America even vaugely close to the traffic here. I used to live and commute in the New York City metro area, and I don’t even feel like that was even traffic anymore.
I live in Toronto - and we have a highway (401) that makes the majority of the freeways in LA look like a piece of cake! Most of them only have 8 to ten lanes (both ways), whereas the 401 has places where it’s a full 16 lanes across…
Not saying LA is really a breeze though - but Houston can be worse (same volume, but higher speed - AND lanes that change assignment depending on the time of day!) - and California allows lane-splitting if you drive something narrow enough (reason I carried a motorcycle on the frame of my 18 wheeler). I think there’s been enough road rage in LA that they are actually mostly more disciplined than in some places!

I have to say I love CVT - but then I’m a gentle driver so I don’t get any ‘drone’, I love the way I can drive up to 80km/h without even reaching past 2000rpm.

Me too! 2012 F150 Platinum with ecoboost.
You forgot DC outside of the capitol area, and Jersey (although Jersey only because you can’t make left turns).

I drive a very small Skoda Citigo-e iV, fully electric.Smallest battery, smallest price, extremely cheap.
It looks a bit like this, just in light blue:

You were lucky to get one of those - they only made 400 and they’re not making any more!

Civic EJs and EKs are some of my all time favorites. My first car was an EK3 in black and rust

The radiator gave up one day. Beside a little bit of rust on one side everything else was still in very good shape. Repair should’ve been about 500-600€ so unfortunately this tore us apart.

I had absolutely zero issues with mine ever. Now I drive a Saab, and it’s a different story hehe - but atleast it’s swedish quality, and when something breaks, it’s usually very easy to fix… if only the parts are easy enough to find! But if I want reliability, I have my 'Yota!

Quattrocycles with an aerodynamic body to make them cruise easier and more comfortably. And lights, apparently.
