    Yup. I will wait at least 1 year before buying a new model. It was a hard lesson for me. I will wait 2 yrs now

    CVTs...they'll tell you it's good.....
    They're counting on them born every minute who'd believe.[emoji848][emoji4]
    Manufacturers would market their efficiency....They're actually cheaper to build & generate more income for dealerships thru more frequent periodic maintenance requirement & eventual failure. Win....for them! And as long as we have Toyotas, they'll make us believe it's WIN for us, too.[emoji13]

    Hmm we have 2 CVTs and 1 conventional AT and di hamak na mas matipid yung CVT sa AT. The CVT is also much more responsive when "downshifting" or more accurately when adjusting gear ratios.

    The AT feels more engaging (has a nice kick when it goes down from 4th to 2nd gear), but the CVT is far smoother.

    My CVT has also survived 60k km and a lot of track days but isn't showing signs of wear.

    CVTs are the future for mass market cars - cheap to build and ticks the boxes for most car buyers (smooth and efficient). Many CVT models are already over a decade old and are still working fine, wih failure rates not higher than your usual AT.

    No arguments on the pluses. I really wish I could have your optimism, good sir....but having seen CVT failures turned me a centered realist. CVTs not only require more frequent & pricier maintenance, they remain non-rebuildable to date. This has kept me off the bandwagon as unlike many or most who can afford to periodically replace their fleet, cars here are forced to stay...long term.[emoji852]
