Tried one today and was surprised by the amount of mechanical noise, probably the ctv ? is that a common thing with them ?

Actually I thought it was very good, especially on sports mode; but sure, it's not a racer.

Mechanical noise? Do you mean simply engine reving, cause that's what cvt does, engine revs then speed winds (slowly) up. But it shouldn't be anything other than just engine revs, like a slipping clutch. Other noises in excess. walk away.

Thanks, I thought the engine was quite quiet, could not hear it at idle, heard it rev-up, but I thought it was like transmission noise, 4WD ?
