how do you like the car?? is your a CVT or 5 speed??
CVT, 2.4GT. its great for what it is - under no illusions its "fast", but the 2.4L is perfectly fine for getting around. never drove a 2.0L, but i don't think i'd be too happy with it..
test drove some Subaru CVT's, and they felt "rubber band-y" - did not like.
the OS CVT is nice and even a little on the "touchy" side - will chirp the tires if you're too heavy on the throttle from a stop. LOL
it's my first and only car with a CVT and i have no problems at all with it..
I'm a 50 y/o male, with a 2015 octane blue es, with 72k on the odometer. Not a hiccup as of today; been to the dealership for one recall. That's it. Great little truck; hope you enjpy yours, mdc!

I think the 5 speed makes the OS a hoot to drive and my MPG’s have been excellent.
Inuvik,
I agree I like the 5-speed. and today it was now or never and I did get the Silver 5-speed today I posted another thread if you want to read it.
I have a 2018 5-speed and absolutely no regrets. I test drove both the 2.0 and 2.4 CVT's and found the 5-speed to be way more comfortable and a better match for the engine than the CVT's.
