I think you must be smarter than the japanese or the Germans who are beginning to adopt cvt which you claim is problematic.

Baseless accusations, that guy is living in his own fantasy world. Would like to know how he does in real world.

There were even cases where airbags deployed without collision. Seatbelts won't fastened, those sensors might no longer work after several years. Electrical & electronic faulty, they were often unexpected how they would fail. Never trust electrical/electronic 100%.

Despite all the links you posted, check which countries that came up with those claims? In America, they have more than enough well trained and qualified engineers to fix whatever for you. Even if no such spare part anymore, they have engineering firm that could mold for you. Also, you can easily buy engine, gearbox, etc in America at affordable price as their buying power and resources are plenty.

In Europe, things are slightly different that maintenance costs are more pricey but at least they still have qualified engineers.

Over here, you should avoid CVT gearbox and hybrid unless you're rich that don't mind forking out RM20-30k easily.

FYI, Germans especially Audi already dropped and avoid CVT gearbox. Get your facts right. Because their customers felt the pinch when comes to faulty worn out CVT gearbox. Also, Audi has to make sure their cars are more problem free than Merc/BMW when comes to maintenance in order to compete.

Certain Japanese manufacturers assume Asians mindset has been brainwashed to think whatever goods Japanese dump here will sell well. CVT gearbox costs them cheaper to develop so they give CVT instead of advanced costly highly reliable/durable 6-7AT gearbox.

Seems like you're the baseless here that you actually ignored those cars with CVT got breakdown and they sold their cars minus cost of new gearbox. That's why more & more City, Murano already missing from our road. Nobody can fix/overhaul yet cost a bomb to buy brand new. Actual case : Used City with CVT gearbox market price RM30k, gearbox kong minus RM20k plus few thousands for labour cost to fit and put it to work which means that City is just few thousands. Used car buyer saw such condition also avoid, better choose another working car like Vios or Forte.
