1 week with my '03 blue cvt

[bamamarc-77]

Been a great first week although i feel like a real slacker complared to dr. sandman's mod's. i spent my time stripping all the ny clean car express stickers off, purchased 2 portenza's from jeff, had the car serviced (80,000 miles) and today made the headlight covers look like new with the turtlewax kit.....really amazing. noticed my mileage took a hit after the dealer service and yes, they deflated the tires from 55 to 35 during the tire rotation....been close to 60mpg this week with 10% ethanol, deflated tires, chilly weather, and city driving. biggest challenge with the cvt is resisting the urge to shift it as my previous insight was a mt. touch up paint is on the way.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Sounds great, Marc - your mileage is spectacular for a CVT! Have you got any pictures of your car? A belated Merry Christmas to you too, and best wishes for a very happy new year.
