Customer at work has an auto trans bussiness, and his advise was to avoid the later CVT models, in fact just about anything CVT....when i quized him about the autos in them.

Oh well it has to be an auto......
What were his specific issues with the CVT?
There are plenty about well over 300k.

I read somewhere that the Mitsubishi CVT's were OK - it's the Nissan ones that you should avoid like the plague.

Have never had anything to do with either myself though, so only repeating the comments of others. Next door's Outlander is auto and they are happy with it so far.

Think it was mainly repair costs / parts availability when needed.

To be fair, he has very little good to say about most of the newer crop of normal autos either.

Ended up with a silver 2012 CVT with 55k on the clock.
Goes and looks like new. SWMBO happy.
Dealer threw in a CVT service with fluid change into the deal.


Now to sell a 2006 Ford Focus Hatch and a 2005 Subaru Forester.
