(Very) Slow 2014 Toyota Vitz AWD
Around a year ago, I moved from Indonesia to Timor-Leste. Previously in Indonesia I've been using a 2007 Toyota Yaris with 1NZ-FE engine and manual transmission (bought brand new). I always love how responsive the engine and transmission is. Since then I always love the Yaris, so when I moved to Timor-Leste I want to have something similar, and a 2014 Toyota Vitz caught my eye, without thinking twice I bought the car, but it turns out that it's not quite like my previous Yaris.
I found out that it's using a 1NR-FE engine with CVT transmission. And the quirky part is that it's an All Wheel Drive! I made sure that the badge was not just a random sticker and checked the underside and saw a driveshaft going to the back, and it also has a button to disable the AWD. But my main concern is that the car is really really slow. The transmission is very laggy in my opinion. Is all Vitz with CVT transmission like this or have I bought a car with a busted transmission? I've been using it for a year, because it's just inner city driving I don't have any problem since I'm always going in a stop and go traffic, but if I step on the gas, the engine just revs but the car is reluctant to go anywhere, so slow in gaining speed. Please tell me it's normal... Because it will be hell to replace a transmission where I am in Timor-Leste. |
