I think some people seem to be over reacting, modern car with all the new technology are year ahead of the old school/back yard mechanics, engines are no longer heavy duty, you can't beat on them and neglect to change the oil and the same with new transmissions, they need the fluid changed but if you wait 3 times longer then your suppose to no wonder the things fail.

I don't really believe the whole CVT suck just because, Toyota Prius have been around for over 10 years and they have always had CVT and their are hybrids going over 200k.

I've read it many times that newer cars require more frequent maintenance and because newer cars cost more owners neglect and put it off and then it's to late
