Day 28: Gutless

Wow this car feels anemic. The CVT in the Nissan Versa Note makes weird noises while it hunts around for the right 'gear' or ratio, or whatever it is that CVT's do. The hamsters under the hood were clearly overworked today as we drove the car at highway speed with the A/C going. A/C was okay--but we didn't drive far enough to give it a real workout. That does remind me of one shortcoming of the Fit--the A/C is total weaksauce. On a long drive on a hot day, the A/C just feels like it is no longer working. It simply gets overwhelmed by the forces of nature. An unfortunate shortcoming, but its only come into play a couple times--always unpleasantly. Coupled with its buzzy high rev highway manner, the Fit is not a first choice for long hot summer drives, but I'd still take it over the Versa Note.
