Good afternoon,

I am valuing to acquire a Renault Clio Zen or a Seat Arona Style Plus, both automatic; The thing is that the first one has a CVT system change box and the second one DSG. I know the DSG because I have had a pole and I know it is fast and has not given me problems. The Reault engine would be a 90 hp and that of the SEAT a 110 although that difference does not worry me too much because I have the speed limit limited to 100 km/h.

I would like to know your opinion about which you think it is the best box of the two because I have read many criticisms of the Nissan CVT box that is the one that the current Renault bears. I know that its main virtue is the economy in gasoline and that it is slower when it comes to taking speed with respect to the DSG. But in reliability and durability, which one do you recommend?

Thank you
